Benbow Historic Inn - Garberville

This is such a wonderful place. It's inexpensive. You can bring your dog. The staff is fantastic and so sweet. The whole building is beautiful as are the grounds. I told my whole family about it and we plan on staying there next year. If love to see what it looks like in the Fall.

Rode past this place for years growing up decades ago, but never got to see the inside. Fortune was with me on a trip through the area. Stayed over night. Very cool place! Beautiful inside and out. Everything I had hoped and expected. Felt welcome by all staff members. Excellent food and drinks.

When we travel we like to stay at historic hotels that have character. We selected Benbow for that reason and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is filled with antiques and art that support its historic past. The sole reason for our trip was to see the coastal redwoods on the Avenue of the Giants. The hotel arranged a tour of the redwoods with Justin, a local naturalist and he was outstanding! He took us to areas that weren't crowded with tourists where we could enjoy the peacefulness and majesty of the forest. Justin was very informative and answered all of our questions about the plant life and history of the redwoods in this area. He also provided us with sources for additional reading. The tour with Justin was the highlight of our trip and we will be back for a follow-up.

We had an incredible stay. The room was magnificent, with a grand fireplace and garden view, and giant redwoods in our view! The best part of the stay was an incredible tour of the redwoods by Justin Legge. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about the redwoods, and had the best stories! It was truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this amazing tour.

Our server was pleasant and capable and we enjoyed their service. my table mats said that the two command the blacks were very good as my Kale salad and the French were excellent. Unfortunately, it stops there as the rest of our food was so disappointed. if I expect the market price $52 for halibut i to be excellent. we ordered two and both portions had a very dry and heavy tough texture on the outside, they could not even be cut by a steak knife. even if I pay $10, halibut should not be presented on this way. there was much too much crisp black pfeffer on the pebbly pig with pebbles. we had two commands of the garnelen scampi and it was so bland except the chili flakes without sauce cling to the perfectly aldente boiled pasta.
