Recent Reviews in Benbow

Best Western Plus Humboldt House Inn

8/10 Good

"Great staff, probably the best in that area which is a small area"

Benbow Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"Great visit"

Cove Cabin Retreat, Private and Peaceful

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin was the perfect little retreat! It was clean and well kept. Angie was super nice and always quick to respond to any questions. Great location, it had a short nature trail behind the cabin, and it was about a mile away from the little black sands beach. My phone didn’t have any service there so the wifi was greatly appreciated. There’s only a mini fridge, which worked well for me as a solo traveler but might be a good heads up for anyone traveling in a group."

Black Sands Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculate and the property was located right on the water. We were able to watch the birds, whales and sea lions. A gorgeous view of the ocean and sunset, and you can also walk down to the black sands beach, which reminded us of the one in Iceland. The staff corresponded well via email. The restaurants nearby had great food selection as well. It was a lovely and relaxing stay and I would 100% recommend this place. The hundreds of switchbacks (lol!) you have to drive to get here are worth it!"

Oceanfront Luxurious Home, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Fly In and Walk from Airstrip

10/10 Excellent

"A superb property with superb owners - one of the finest on Vrbo. A group of us have been here a few times now, and we always look forward to our stay. The views are spectacular, the amenities are thoughtful, and the hosts are delightful. One of my absolute favorites across the board."
