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.

The Swallows Nest is a cozy, well-priced room on the ground floor of the mansion overlooking the garden. Queen bed, private bath with a hand-painted tile shower. Bright, airy, high ceiling, and a tiny view of the ocean.
