We opted for one of the smaller, less expensive rooms adjoining the library. After having dinner at a hotel a few miles away, we returned for a soak in the indoor hot tub before bed. The furnishing were quaint and comfortable and all the little touches made this place quite charming. My only complaint was the communal breakfast--it would be nice to have the option of a more private meal. Also, this place was a bit out of the way. Overall a great place to stay with beautiful views, interesting antiques, comfortable accommodations and hot tub, and delicious food.

“Glad I stayed two nights this time”
Thanks, Sally, for another lovely visit. Well worth staying on another night for the rest, and exploring the gardens and trails. Best, Suzanne & Errol

“A great respite- like going back in time”
Our return trip was as memorable as the first. Quiet, across from the beach, historic and fun. Great for a family trip. There is even a llama on the property. The innkeepers have been running it since the 60's and it just gets better. Highly recommend it if you're going up North from LA. Apout 1 1/2 hours from San Francisco. This is a hidden gem. Not much phone signal and no internet or TV so you really get away from it all. Need to call a person to make a reservation. Now, that's really historic!
Room Tip: The Meadow Cabin is very private and romantic and is the same price as the ranch rooms.

We knew we were going to love Howard Creek Ranch when we pulled up to the farmhouse and a bunch of goats came running around the corner and up to the car.
This is not the place for you need Wi-Fi, cell phones, TV and need cute matching B&B décor. Think more great grandma’s farmhouse chuck full of neat antiques and iron objects you have no idea what they could have been used for.
The Redwood Suite has a beautiful view of the ocean and it is just a short walk away. Don’t forget to borrow the rain boots that are available if you wade into the creek. The suite is very comfortable and has everything you would need to stay for awhile. Breakfast was really good; great biscuits and warm pears with cinnamon.
Be sure to wander around and see the garden, walk across the swing bridge, visit the animals, and take strolls on the beach.
We are looking forward to going back soon.

“Authentic, funky and unique”
A collection of ranch buildings and handmade cabins in the redwoods, overlooking the sea. Not for the Middle-of-the-road traveler. A good collection of people around the breakfast table in a 19th century farmhouse, beach or trail walks and a secret Love Glade of Redwoods for meditation or " couples Adventure" according to the diary left in the tree stump.
No meals available other than breakfast but many rooms have cooking facilitiy either indoors or out.
NO mobile phone service and internet only in the main house. So... relax in the forest.
Room Tip: They are each unique.
