Top choice in North Coast & Redwoods
A woodsy country lodge on bluffs overlooking the mouth of the Klamath, the creaky and bright 1914 Requa Inn is a North Coast favorite and – even better – it’s a carbon-neutral facility. Many of the charming, old-timey Americana rooms have mesmerizing views over the misty river, as does the dining room, which serves locally sourced, organic New American cuisine.
The dinners are family-style, and served only from April to October, Tuesday through Saturday. Make reservations.
