Yes, budget travel can be fun, but it can also become tedious. When you just have to be pampered, it's time to opt for value over price and go for the style of a place. Elk Cove Inn has something like 15 rooms and suites -- all distinctive. Some of the varying amenities are a balcony, views, fireplace, path to... more

We had heard great things about Elk Cove from people we met at the San Francisco B&B where we stayed and were really delighted with the friendly greeting the readiness to let us look around before deciding on a room. We were lucky to be there on the "shoulder" where that's possible. During the season, you will need reservations. We... more

Upon arrival, we felt right at home. The staff was wonderful and friendly. They even gave us valuable guidance on local wineries that most matched our preferences. The grounds were beautiful and the scenery was breath taking! The breakfast was fantastic with many selections, all of which were delicious! We stayed in Surfsong and loved the view overlooking the ocean.... more

I have reviewed The Elk Cove Inn before, because I love it there, but also felt I had to remark on our rather remarkable wedding there. It was, and I'm not bragging, just perfection!!! I love that place, and would live there if I could. Elaine and her staff make your stay a one of pure leisure, and you want,... more

The room and deck face south so it is just lovely to have the sun come up over the ridge in the morning and spill into the room. The deck is... more

We enjoyed two nights at this beautiful bed and breakfast on the cove. We walked down to the beach, enjoyed two great full breakfasts and the complimentary happy hour each evening. I recommend picking up dinner before returning for happy hour and eating in your room. The local restaurant we visited had good food but we waited very long for... more

Elk Cove Inn was the first B&B that my wife and I went to after getting married. Since then, we've been using ECI as the bar by which we measure all other B&B's, none have measured up. The best views on the Mendocino coast, spacious and cozy accommodations, complimentary Happy Hour (not the best booze but, with ambiance like that,... more

The Elk Cove Inn is our favorite B&B! It is in a quiet location and is a great place to detox and reconnect with your spouse. We've stayed here 3 times so far, in 3 different rooms, and have loved staying in each of the rooms. One of the best things we love about our stay here is the comfortable... more
