Benbow Inn is a great historic property deep in the redwoods. The rooms are spacious but the beds are tired - you will be too. The green LEDs on the smoke detectors are very bright. The mini splits keeping you cool are surprisingly noisy and never stop running. Service was good. Friendly but did have issues with our final bill. The food is decent but there are better options in Garberville.
