Thanks, Sally, for another lovely visit. Well worth staying on another night for the rest, and exploring the gardens and trails. Best, Suzanne & Errol

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... More

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... More

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.

We don't mind rustic, funky or unique and have stayed in a variety of places over the years. However, we did not expect rustic to mean dillapidated, falling apart and animal feces everywhere, including the picnic/barbecue areas. We were not made to feel welcome by Sally. Rather, we felt as if we were being scolded on more than one occasion... More

We just returned from three nights at Howard Creek Ranch. It is a wonderful, unique, one-of-a-kind place. From the moment you arrive you are in the mood to do nothing but relax. Everyone that works there is warm, wonderful, and helpful. We ate dinner on the beach, watching the sunset, every night we were there. It is an easy walk... More

When my husband saw the web-site, he thought it would be a quaint place to stop along our drive up HWY 1, but I was so freaked out by the time we drove away that I would not leave his side. It might have been the fact that there was no one there to greet us when we arrived at... More

We loved the beautiful gardens, deserted,private Beach, the solitude, the wonderful breakfast, and the beautiful room and private balcony. If you stop and listen-all you can hear is the cheerful sounds of the birds, the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and the silence is so relaxing and unusual. We cant wait to go back, and will definetely... More
