There's a place up in Northern Mendocino where Nature, Art, and Magic collide. To get there, you will drive along winding roads until you get past cities, past stress, way past the expected. You'll arrive where the redwoods meet the Mendocino coastline to a place where time moves differently and the air is fragrant with jasmine. Here, at Howard Creek Ranch, you will be swept up in the wonder of the ongoing vision crafted over 40 years by an artist/builder and a flower child. Owners Sally and Sonny have dedicated their lives to creating nests worthy of your sweetest dreams, worthy of reconnecting with your mind, body, and soul. Each of our rooms is unique, hand-crafted, and luscious. There is no obvious line between indoors and the sweetness of coastal air, the wildness of blackberries and blooms, or the cacophony of birdsongs. Peace curls up here. Book pages turn. Love is made. Friendships are nourished. Ideas and creativity are given a chance to breathe and come to life.

"...and on the eight day God (and Sally & Sonny) created Howard Creek Ranch. What a great job they did. This is a true rest stop for the body, mind & spirit. Everything is beautiful especially, Oreo! We'll be back...again

I found this place by accident 15 years ago and I've made an annual trip ever since. The owner's, Sonny and Sally, are two of the most gracious and caring people I have the honor of knowing. The moment you drive on the property, the…

My wife found the place to be quite charming. We stayed in the "Boat House" which was quite comfortable although the bed is quite hard to access. It has a nice wood burning stove. It is a short walk to the beach along a path filled with…

Love the stars gazing at night in bed- and so many stars and experience I've never had before like the one here.

We give Howard Creek Ranch Inn 5 stars. The stay was amazing! We heard of this place from a coworker and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to someone else!

Spent a long time reading the many journals left on the dresser and I think it's all been alucid. What a gem! I was quite fortunate to have run across the HCR on the internet! My husband just loves the birds. It's a real treat for us to…

We've stayed at the inn many times and found it friendly, comfortable and relaxing. Great breakfasts!! Close to Mendocino but inn is much less pretentious and expensive than the average Mendocino inn. Ft Bragg is a real town with great…
Tranquil Hideaway! by on 5/25/2009 via BedandBreakfast.com
Feeling so isolated from the rest of the world, as you stroll through the cottage garden and wander through the trails on some of the 60 acres, a feeling of tranquillity washes over you, slowing down to enjoy the sights and sounds of this…

If you want to get away this is the place. A rustic, eclectic, and quiet place to stay. Hosts are outstanding and the breakfast is superb!!!With the rain on the roof and surf in the background, I slept like a log!!!!
