The Tokeland Hotel was built as a private residence over 140 years ago and transitioned into a boarding house for weary travelers shortly thereafter. It was remarkable at that time to even have indoor plumbing and standard to have a few shared bathrooms amongst guests. Today the Tokeland Hotel's bones stay largely intact and so too does the layout. There are 4 bathrooms on the second floor to be shared by guests. 2 with standing showers and 2 with claw-foot bath tubs.

An adventure! You can think of Tokeland as a big fancy barn; plenty of isolation from the world at large, but not so much from your fellow guests. The walls can be thin, but the Brooklinen sheets on the comfy new mattresses will keep you sleeping cozy until the smell of breakfast comes wafting under your door. If you are lucky enough to be here during a winter storm, the walls might creak and sway, all part of the charm and experience of staying in this one-of-a-kind hotel. Welcome to Tokeland!

You are always welcome to explore downstairs during normal business hours however; the upstairs rooms are limited to guests. If you would like to see a room before reserving one, the front desk team will be happy to show you around.

Gray whales, humpback whales, harbor seals, sea lions, orcas, porpoise, starfish, sea anemone, crabs; you name it, we have probably seen it here.
