We only stopped by for a 30 min outdoor walk. We did not go inside. There is a path, to a stream with a pretty cement bridge above. I have heard great things about this establishment from family in CA. I live in NV. We plan to go back, perhaps for a romantic weekend.

We recently stayed for a pleasant few days in the Benbow Historic Inn outside Garberville in Humbolt county while touring the redwoods. The Inn is adjacent to the 101 freeway at the south end of The Avenue of the Giants. It is a perfect base for exploring the majesty of the area. The inn oozes historic charm, has good rooms and restaurant and very pleasant staff. Morgan & Joyce

For years my Aunt and Uncle have been talking about the Benbow Historic Inn and we were finally able to experience this amazing place for their 53rd wedding Anniversary! We were able to share this special time with them at the Inn and were able to experience first hand what they have always enjoyed about this magical place! When we first pulled up we were taken aback by the beauty of its location! Nestled amongst the beautiful trees and amazing grounds with beautiful gardens we already felt a sense of peace away from all the hustle and bustle! We were greeted by amazing staff at check in and our rooms were spacious and quiet! Upon walking through the hotel we made our way to the main lobby which had an outstanding fireplace where we were able to enjoy tea and the best scones we've ever tasted! We also were able to challenge each other to puzzle building and backgammon! Great way to relax! Out on the back patio was a fantastic fire conversational pit where we sat and enjoyed our time while listening to the peacefulness of the Eel River. The next day we visited the Avenue of the Giants redwood trees and upon returning we had some of the best cocktails at the historic 1920’s Bar. Dinner was just as amazing and the waiter was so attentive to our needs since one of us has a food allergy and they made sure to accommodate us! It was really hard leaving since we had such a wonderful time and we are so grateful to our Aunt and Uncle for sharing The Benbow Inn with us! We would definitely recommend the Inn to anyone who is looking for a great getaway which also has so many different things to do and is perfect for weddings or any other social events in an amazing setting!!!…
