ELK COVE INN, RESTAURANT & SPA
“Looking for a cozy getaway? Northern California is home to one of the best bed-and-breakfast spots in the nation, according to USA Today.”
~ Sacramento Bee, October 2024
Discover one of the most romantic boutique hotels on the Northern California Coast – 150 miles North of San Francisco; 25 miles south of Mendocino. This one-of-a-kind, ocean view Mendocino Coast Inn is part bed and breakfast, part homestead and sustainable farm.
The Elk Cove team goes above and beyond to offer a home away from home experience with unpretentious comfort, complete amenities, beautiful gardens and grounds, breakfast in bed, Michelin star type food and a day Spa. Be prepared to relax, unwind, and recharge.
Not far from Napa and Sonoma, a drive on California’s Route 128 takes you through the Anderson Valley — home to popular wineries and champagne cellars — then leads you through a magnificent redwood forest to the Pacific Ocean and on to the majestic Elk Cove Inn situated on the most breathtaking route of California’s Highway One.
Elk Cove Inn is a favorite for romantic getaways, honeymoons and anniversaries, people who travel with their pets, girlfriend getaways, LGBT travelers, spa retreats, marriage proposals, elopements, weddings … reunions and business gatherings! We enjoy a steady stream of those who travel by bicycle and motorcycle. And we’ve become a popular destination for singles who come for beauty and serenity and stay for the inclusive vibe of friendship.

Elk Cove Inn & Spa
This cliffside 19th century Craftsman-style mansion is now a bed and breakfast with vertiginous views of the Pacific. The rooms are beautifully designed, some even featuring ocean views, fireplaces, and luxurious en suite bathrooms. It’s hard to compete with the views, but the fine dining menu at the restaurant is a start (even if the furniture is a bit outdated). Start your day with an indulgent breakfast, complete with champagne. The property also offers a cozy guest lounge, a rooftop deck with panoramic views, a rejuvenating day spa, and a charming beachfront gazebo. (August 2023 Issue)

“We stayed here this past March, 2022. I don’t normally write reviews. But three months later I’m still thinking about our time there. It was WONDERFUL! We flew out from North Carolina into San Francisco. The drive up the Pacific Coast Highway is beautiful but not easy and quite long. We stayed in the Seascape room in the main mansion. Every detail, from the delicious breakfast brought to your room each morning, the in-room coffee, wine and port service to the charming decor was special. The whole atmosphere was casual and elegant all at the same time. Especially notable was the staff. They were attentive, cheerful and happy. They love what they do and love where they are. Getting to the Inn is not easy and the Inn is pricey. But staying there is worth EVERY mile and EVERY dollar. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Melissa, Victor and all the staff!!” – Darlene, TripAdvisor
