| Introduction |
|
In 1916, when the Sandpiper House was built, Elk was a thriving mill town. The house was built on a rugged cliff above Greenwood Cove. During this era, the cove was a bustling harbor where schooners were loaded with redwood destined for San Francisco. In the late 1930s, the last mill was lost in a fire and the village of Elk became a quiet hamlet perched above the sea. The gray shingled house is surrounded by a perennial garden and a white picket fence. The rose arbor leads to a beautifully tended lawn, embraced by bountiful flower beds stretching out to the edge of the bluff. Garden chairs are strategically placed to capture the breathtaking ocean views. The garden path disappears over the bluff to a secluded private beach below.

The house is decidedly unpretentious, yet was one of the finest homes in town. It is when you step inside that you realize the classic elegance of this craftsman-style house. The living room and dining room, with coffered ceilings and raised-panel walls, are stunning examples of the use of redwood materials and the craftsmanship of the era. Mornings, the tables are set with linens and fine china in the Breakfast Room overlooking the magical Greenwood Cove and St. Anthony's Point. You will be served an exceptionally creative two-course gourmet breakfast. Evenings, guests can enjoy complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres beside the living room fireplace.

The inn offers five spacious guest rooms, each one individually decorated with antiques, comfortable chairs, fresh flowers, and either king or queen-size beds with down comforters, feather pillows, and fine linens. All have fireplaces, private baths and compact refrigerators. We continue to retain the homelike feeling of yesteryear, yet provide the comforts of today.
