And take a break this fall/winter at these 3 totally underrated places in California for a cozy weekend trip: 🐚 Sea Ranch: ~2.5 - 3 hours from SF right on the coast, this is a beautiful place to enjoy nature—be it coastline or woods—or cozy up with a drink + book by the fire at the iconic @searanchlodgeca 🦭 Bodega Bay – ~1.5 hours from SF, Bodega Bay is also a moody coastal getaway, just a bit closer to the city. Book a stay at @lodgeatbodegabay, which was newly renovated and has one of the best restaurants in town (plus: that outdoor hot tub 😍) 🌲 Arnold, CA – ~2.5 - 3 hours from SF, this tiny town in the Sierra foothills is a charming and less-crowded mountain alternative to Tahoe.
