Why the Owner Chose Point Arena

Point Arena is one of the most beautiful small towns in the US. A pier on one end of town, a lighthouse on the other and african hoof stock in the middle. All along the Pacific ocean.

The Unique Benefits at this Carriage House

With your stay at B Bryan Preserve, you get a tour of the animal preserve included in your stay. You are also welcome to harvest any vegetables available from the garden and if you're lucky, gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop. The gardens around the historic home are magnificent and well manicured. All this along with the sights and sounds of African Antelope and zebra.

 

Owner's Map of Point Arena

Frank and Judy Mello own and manage B Bryan Preserve. Frank is originally from California and the 2 had always wanted to retire to California. So, in 2004, Frank retired from Corporate life and they moved to Point Arena with 11 of their African Antelope. Today they have over 60 animals, Sable, Kudu and Roan Antelope along with the endangered Mountain Zebra and the critically endangered Grevy's Zebra. B Bryan Preserve has unique fully appointed cottages for vacation rentals as well.

    • This was our first annual girls weekend,and did we ever find the best place to spend it at! We enjoyed all the animals. The tour was very informative. The cottage was very comfortable with breathtaking views of the flower gardens from every window. Thank you so much for your hospitality! We can't wait to return.

      Homeowner Response:
      I am so glad that you chose us for your first annual girls weekend and hope you keep up the tradition. You ladies were great guests.

    • I had stayed here with my husband a year ago and wanted my college-aged kids to experience it too. So, guess what I requested this year for Mother's Day? As expected, both kids were completely charmed by the place. They found the animals and their personalities fascinating and liked knowing we were supporting their preservation. We also loved Pt Arena and liked being able to bring our two dogs. A treasured weekend!

      Thank you for creating such a special place! It isn't easy with 3 boys ages 17, 11 and 4 - to find a place to stay upon which all ages agree. But your preserve is one such place. Each of us fell in love with the animals, henhouse, gardens, even Frank's posters! You thought of everything for a comfortable stay and we had a wonderful time here at the lighthouse, the beach, kayaking down the river! We will certainly tell friends about the preserve and our youngest member is looking forward to the introduction of Giraffes.

      What a place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was stupendous! To know that people still care and want to preserve the world we live in. It is a beautiful place where our children could play and we were able to enjoy each other. Baily says"it's our pleasure to come here. Ihope mommy antelopes grow babies this year". Spencer says "I want to come back." He will miss Fred.

      What a perfect place to stay on the North Coast. Thank you for your beautiful accomodations (Perfect for us), house and grounds and most of all your preservation effots. The animals are clearly happy and thriving. We look forward to future visits and watching the herds and collections grow. Giraffe! How exciting. I pray it comes to be without any glitches. I so appreciated exposing Delaney to these African species. Thanks!
