About this property

Enjoy one of the most spectacular views on the Mendocino coast. Nestled in peaceful seclusion atop a bluff overlooking a mile of dramatic beachfront, the Elk Cove Inn’s Craftsman-style Mansion was built in 1883 by the L.E. White Lumber Co. as the Mill Superintendent’s home. It became one of the first bed & breakfast inns on the Mendocino Coast in 1968. The inn is set back from the road, surrounded by native trees, a creek and the ocean, with private stairs to the driftwood-strewn beach below.This cozy northern California inn overlooks the Pacific atop a bluff in Elk, known for its dramatic coastline views and gorgeous sunsets. Relax to the sound of the water.The best Pet friendly place. Champagne breakfast is served every day.
