Built in 1916, The Harbor House Inn is the "belle" of the Redwood Empire standing vigil on a rocky cliff overlooking Greenwood Cove with its spectacular rock formations and powerful, ever changing sea. Pathways meander through magnificent gardens with private seating and vistas that lead to our private beach below. The drama continues throughout the Inn's ten guestrooms, its stately sitting room and breathtaking ocean view dining room. The Inn features classic and antique furnishings, fireplaces, decks and private baths. A full breakfast and five course dinner is included and is prepared fresh daily from local farms and the sea. Distinctive prix-fixe menus featuring fresh, California cuisine have created a culinary jewel in the small village of Elk. Wine Spectator "Award of Excellence". Timeless luxury in the most spectacular setting in Northern California... only three hours from San Francisco.

4.6 out of 5Romantic Getaway at the Harbor House Inn
October 08, 2012
We spent a romantic weekend at the Harbor House Inn in late September. It was perfect. We had a fabulous breakfast each morning and a suberbly prepared meal for dinner. Chef Adam Ables was a most attentive and charming host and brilliant chef. The dining room was small enough that each meal felt like an intimate private affair and the view was breathtaking. We stayed in Lookout in the main inn. It was tiny but there was a deck off our room that allowed us to take in the spectacular view while enjoying the delicious wine we picked up at the nearby wineries. The deck made up for the small room and the bed was so comfortable. We highly recommend a visit to this beautiful Inn with a view to match. We can't wait to return!

econd stay here, stayed over 8 years ago and loved it! This visit reinforced how much we loved our initial visit. It such a wonderful location, very laid back and relaxing. The food, as before and with a different chef, was great. Staff is very attentive and trys to do whatever they can to make your stay go well. Especially appreciated the chef who acting along served a wonderful breakfast on our last day. They are closing for a complete makeover and will reopen summer of 2013....and we'll be back!

August 20, 2012
The two rooms we had were spacious, very clean, and well decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable. The view and grounds were just as described/pictured. The host/chef was gracious and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were top notch. I have no hesitation in recommending this B&B and wish to return for a longer stay.

An amazing property with an even more amazing and attentive chef (Adam Ables)! A pity the road trip to get there is so not nice. One way or another we will return to this location in the years ahead.

It was a enjoyable stay - the dining was great - chef Adam prepares creative and delicious dinners.
5 out of 5Food a highlight
July 25, 2012
This was our fourth time staying at the Harbor House and we have enjoyed it every time. We were upgraded to a bigger room, which was lovely, and spent a lot of time just hanging out in front of the fire reading (it was foggy all weekend). Chef Adam Ables is very talented and imaginative and his food looks beautiful and tastes incredible. If I had one minor quibble it would be the lack of fresh green salad-type dishes on his menus, but really it's fine to indulge in rich and elegant dining if it's only for a couple of days--- you can always fast when you get home! We'll be back again, I'm sure.
