There is something magical about the Elk Cove In and Spa! Melissa and Victor are incredible hosts, always kind and welcoming. We have stayed in the Bavarian Room twice and the view is mesmerizing and magnificent. If you want a peaceful calming place to spend time with fantastic food, the Elk Cove Inn and Spa is the place to go. They also have access to the beach with is a beautiful added bonus!Nearby activities: Elk is a quaint small town on the coast, but it is near Mendocino and Ft. Bragg. You can relax or see all of the sites.

We have been staying here since 2017, often several times a year. Every trip is truly spectacular. As soon as we get out of the car there, we immediately relax and start walking on clouds. All our cares, stresses, worries are gone.The rooms and suites are clean, well appointed, with a generous basket of goodies. The bed is amazing and our friend who stayed there said they were the softest sheets she ever slept in.The walk to the beach is short and fun and worth the trip. Spectacular views every where.The breakfasts are always delicious and one could NOT ask for friendlier, more helpful staff. Victor and Melissa are THE BEST!Elk Cove Inn Rules!Rooms: Well appointed, homey, and soooooo relaxing.Safety: Very isolated and quiet. Very safe.

I am writing this review for my husband and me. We have stayed here many times, were married in the gazebo 14 years ago, as well as eating at Sibo for our 14-year anniversary, which was heavenly. Melissa and her husband run a wonderful Inn and adding their skills to their French restaurant has made it an even better place to stay. It has just improved more and more over the years. Go see for yourself.Rooms: So many to choose from!Food & drinks: Exceptional food!!!!

I surprised my fiancé with an unexpected stay at elk cove inn. To say she was ecstatic would be an understatement. Ricky at the front desk was extremely nice and welcoming. We stayed 2 nights in the greenwood room and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to the sunrise casting itself on the waves was magical. The cute little restaurant and the most delicious food as well. I could go on and on but if you get a chance I highly recommend checking this cozy little place out

One of our favorite places from when we lived in NorCal 3 years ago. We moved back to Midwest and we miss it so much, we're planning a trip in February. We spent 3-4 days for both Thanksgiving and Christmas during the pandemic and we can't get it out of our system, it was so awesome.

When you first pull onto the property, you’ll see the beautiful landscaping. And I don’t just mean a few flowers – I mean they have a full, colorful garden that you walk through and enjoy. There’s also a deck for you to sit, eat a picnic, play cards, or whatever you like while you enjoy the views. The gazebo is also a great, romantic spot on property to watch the sunset while drinking a nice glass of wine from one of the many local wineries.After getting checked in and meeting Bella (one of the unofficial mascot dogs), I was shown my suite. Now, I will tell you – and the owners agree – that this is not 5 star accommodations. If you’re looking for the most modern of spaces to lay your head, this isn’t it. But what you will find is a clean, eclectic space that’s made up of thrift store furniture and meaningful touches. For instance, the suites are each named after a local historical figure from Mendocino County. And on the wall, you’ll find a little information about that person and their contributions to the area.A lot of thought has gone into making these suites your home away from home, but the best part by far is the view. Right outside your window, or stepping out on your balcony, you see the stunning cliffs of the Northern California coast as far as the eye can see of the Pacific Ocean. It’s breath-taking. And that sunset – oh man, it’s absolutely mesmerizing.Melissa and Victor are the heart and soul of the Elk Cove Inn & Spa, and they were the best part of this stay for me. I so admire the way they lovingly care for their staff, animals, and the people they serve. Their commitment to the ingredients they use, the people they employ from the community, and their work ethic is unmatched. And they serve every single guest with a genuine smile and compassion. They truly want you to enjoy your stay – you’re not just another line item for them.

We are members at the Elk Cove Inn and we thoroughly enjoy each visit there. It's a quaint hotel with a private beach access and great food options! There are many rooms with a view of the ocean but they also have a deck and a cafe overlooking the ocean for the guests staying in non-view rooms. There is free hot breakfast with a room reservation and it's by far the best hotel breakfast I've had in the US.Nearby activities: Private beach access.Food & drinks: They have a restaurant at the hotel that has really good food!

Elk Cover Inn is the ideal "get away from it all" retreat on the Northern CA coast. The rooms are large and beautifully done, the view is just incredible, and the dinner was spectacular each night. Melissa does an amazing job of making you feel at home while you are there, and her husband Victor is a French trained Chef providing world class dinners each night. We had the Sam McCanse room with a deck overlooking the cove, and slept each night to the sounds of the ocean. Perfection.

My family and I had a fantastic visit. The Inn is situated in a beautiful location, overlooking a beautiful cove from up high on a bluff. The rooms are lovely, with amazing views and the sounds of the ocean coming in through the window. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are delicious. I look forward to visiting again soon.

A true jewel of the Mendocino Coast. Elk Cove Inn retains all of magic of this special place, and pairs it with amazing food and warm hospitality. The gardens and the secret trail down to the beach cove are among my favorites, and meeting new folks on the deck for happy hour was a pleasant surprise. Go now. You can thank me later.

Great place for a remote/relaxing getaway. It is pet friendly, which is great if you want to bring your pet. There is an easy pathway to the beach as well. The hotel restaurant was great and there are other great dining options about 15 minutes away by car. The staff is great and will work to accommodate all needs. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous experience! Our suite was beautifully appointed. Quiet and restful. The view is spectacular. It was hard to leave the room, very content and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful with beach access. The staff... So welcoming, laid back, but on anything you need. The bed was very comfortable, too. The included room service breakfast everyday was fantastic as well as it dinners from Sibo restaurant in site. It was so relaxing listening to the waves all night. This place is pure heaven! We can't wait to return!!!

Elk Cove Inn is an exquisite oasis on The Ca. coast.We discovered the area 30 years ago by accident and come back every year, from New York, to experience the magnificent unspoiled beauty. The Inn is a perfect place to shut down your brain and all electronics and enjoy pure nature and solitude. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are lovely with spectacular mind blowing ocean views and the breakfasts are great. Most people stay for just a few days but we stay for 2 weeks.Rooms: Every room is different and all are well cared for and clean.Nearby activities: Mendocino and Fort Bragg are 20-25 minute magnificent drive along the coast. Navarro redwood forest near by.Safety: Very safe .Walkability: Beach access , walk to town.Food & drinks: Breakfast , large selection, fresh eggs from chickens on premises. Vegetables from organic garden. Victor is an amazing French chef!!
