    Charming Escape with Stunning Views!

    We enjoyed a delightful stay in the Terrace view room. The cozy ambiance and breathtaking views of the ancient oak against autumn leaves created a perfect backdrop. The staff was attentive, making our Thanksgiving dinner a highlight. Don’t miss out on the breakfast pastries!

    dining prices

    The hotel offers a charming, historic atmosphere

    that truly adds to the experience, but the noise from the nearby highway was a bit distracting. The staff was friendly and the amenities were nice, though the dining experience felt a bit overpriced for what we received.

    picturesque location
    delicious food
    outdated furniture
    slow check-in
    questionable charges

    The location is picturesque, providing a lovely patio overlooking the river, a perfect spot to unwind. The menu features delicious food with touches like muesli that truly stand out. However, the room felt outdated with dated furniture, and the check-in process was frustratingly slow, exacerbated by a shift change at an inconvenient time. Additionally, the final bill included a questionable $5.28 charge for employee benefits, making the $250 per night room rate feel overpriced.

    culinary thrill
    fresh flavors
    cozy vibe
    understaffed dining
    dirty balcony

    The sandwiches at the restaurant were a culinary thrill, bursting with fresh flavors that'll make your taste buds dance. Plus, don’t miss out on their complimentary tea time—you’ll wanna kick back with tea and scones like you’re living the high life! The bar area had a cozy vibe perfect for winding down after a day of exploring.

    The dining room seemed understaffed, leading to long waits for meals, which felt out of sync with the price tag here. Also, the balcony and dining room windows could use a good scrub—nothing says 'rustic charm' like a bit of well-loved dust.

    convenient location
    fresh air
    temperature control confusion

    great location but some room improvements needed

    The location was convenient for splitting the drive. The windows opened, which I appreciated for fresh air. The patio for breakfast was quite nice.

    The temperature control in the room was a bit confusing.

    cozy armchair
    fairytale gardens
    relaxing atmosphere

    The Benbow Historic Inn is an incredibly charming destination! Our room had a cozy armchair perfect for curling up with a great book. The nearby gardens felt like a fairytale, and the communal areas, including the outdoor fire pit, made for a truly relaxing atmosphere.

    comfy room
    nice view
    spacious accommodations
    dark corners
    limited lighting

    The Deluxe Queen Room was really comfy with plenty of space. A nice view of the trees added to the charm. The only downside? It felt a bit dark in some corners. But the overall vibe was cozy and welcoming.

    peaceful location
    slow service
    dining delays

    The stay was enjoyable, featuring a charming and comfortable room with a view of the trees. The breakfast was exceptional, offering freshly baked pastries and quality coffee. The location, close to the Benbow Recreation Area, allowed for peaceful morning strolls by the river, enhancing the overall experience.

    The dining service during dinner was slow and could be improved.

    Just a great fit for a swift stopover in Garberville with incredible value for money. Enjoyed the complimentary scones and tea in the afternoon, which was a nice touch. Make sure to check out the large patio for evening drinks.

    inviting patio
    delightful dinner
    quaint decor
    old furniture

    I stayed for 1 night in a Deluxe Queen Room and truly loved the quaint decor with antique furniture. Tea and scones were delightful in the afternoon, and the outdoor patio with the inviting fire pit made our evening special. The dinner was delightful, adding another layer to an already charming experience.
