The last rain storm blew-out the Eel River for steelhead fishing for a few days, but it's clearing quickly now and promises to be good fishing by tomorrow and all through next week. Anglers...check back...for photos and conditions.

Great news for The Benbow Hotel. For the 16th consecutive year the Benbow Inn received the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award rating for 2008. Only one lodging has been honored this year with a Four Diamond Award, making the Benbow Inn the only full-service Four Diamond property in Humboldt County. John Porter, Innkeeper, is seen here accepting the award from AAA area Manager, Judy McKinley. We are very pleased and proud to receive this honor.

We're getting spring-like weather right now. The trees are begining to bud, and the hills are lush green. This is a beautiful time to stay at Benbow.
