Elk Cove Inn
Elk, California

Choose from 15 sumptuously appointed accommodations, including luxurious oceanfront spa suites with Jacuzzi tubs, cliffside oceanfront cottages with commanding picture windows and charming rooms in the Victorian Mansion. All our rooms have private baths and include the luxury touches you demand - feather beds, down comforters, silky robes, exquisite linens, and fresh flowers. Nearly all have fireplaces, and most have direct ocean views. When you arrive you'll be treated to a welcome basket with a split of wine, fresh fruit and our famous homemade oatmeal cookies. A decanter of Port and chocolates await you at bedtime. Your stay includes a sumptuous gourmet full buffet style breakfast.

Cozy, private, and our most reasonably priced room, Swallow's Nest is appropriately named. Antique white walls, rose and cream linens and drapes, and a brass bed provide a simple, elegant nest for the weary traveler in-between excursions to the beach or shopping.

Cypress Garden: Luxurious bedding, oak wainscoting, and a window seat that looks out over the herb and flower garden set the pace for a Victorian idyll. The window to the east takes in the Cypress woods. A sofa converts to a full bed, and an antique sideboard welcomes you into the ample bathroom.
