Ocean View Inn

About

Ocean View Inn, Built in 1906 as a roadhouse, the Ocean View Inn still echoes its turn-of-the-century heritage with the old red brick built into the landscaping around the spacious rooms. Most likely built after the great 1906 earthquake by a German couple, the Inn still displays a beautiful stained glass window with an inscribed dedication written in German, possibly as a memorial to his wife. The Inn was later converted to a hotel, then changed hands in the late 1950's and called the Farallone House. In the 1990's, the Inn was purchased by a corporation that attempted to demolish it and build a franchise in its place. Thankfully the County of San Mateo prevented this from happening, citing the Inn's historic value to the town of Montara. Soon after, it became the Farallone Inn; today the inn has become Ocean View Inn and still retaining hints of the old hotel ambiance.
