Elk, Ca is one of the most scenic places on the west coast and the Elk Cove Inn & Spa property is right there. Unfortunately, the inn is showing it's age. My impression is that the owner/innkeepers try hard enough but fall short of ones expectation, given the cost of staying there. Our room's furniture was quite worn and the... More

We cannot say enough good things about this place. And it's not just the location, although that is wonderful. We came to celebrate our anniversary and were looking for a place to just get away from it all. We decided to fly into LA and drive up the PCH (stopping in Monterey for a few nights along the way). We... More

Top of the heap B&B. My wife and I have been coming here the last 9 years or so, 12-15 visits. Why? Yes the setting, coast, and locale are breathtaking and ever-changing. Yes the pace is much more humane and easy going. Yes Elaine (the owner) is constantly improving the physical plant and refining guest services. That's the 5 star... More

There is not much to add to the glowing reviews of this property. It is on a very picturesque cove. The staff are all extraordinarily helpful and friendly. The accommodation is well appointed rustic which is well suited to the location. My only complaint? That we checked out. It was a great experience which we intend to repeat.

You know how sometimes, you return to a place that was spectacular the first time but it fails to meet up to the memory when you return? Well, I am happy to say at the Elk Cove Inn, you CAN go home again! In fact, it was even better than we remembered. It had been two years since our last... More

My husband and I regularly stop at Elk Cove Inn when we need a break! It is a lovely location quiet and lost in the middle of beautiful sceneries along the wild Pacific Coast. Guest and staff are friendly and breakfasts are delicious. The welcoming basket with an 1/2 bottle of white wine, grapes, strawberries and popcorn is the first... More

We've stayed here many times, since even before the Oceanfront Suites building, where we always stay now, went up. The furniture may no longer be brand new but if I'm comfortable with it, you'll probably be too and the suites are very clean, private and quiet. As others have said, Elaine's breakfasts are excellent; an amazing spread. The staff is... More

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in Georg Burke rom with a stone terrace to take in the spectacular view of ocean. Room was comfortable, spacious, clean, warmly decorated with an "adirondack" feel. There are charming gardens and an easy walk down to the ocean. The staff is welcoming and helpful. I am a good cook and I... More

I may be a little biased in that I just got married here last weekend, however my husband and I had stayed at the inn several times to plan our wedding and each experience was wonderful. The staff- Elaine, Mary, Patty and more! are beyond helpful and are so knowledgable about all things local and more. I don't know what... More
