“Recapture the Serenity of Mother Nature.”
A Little Background for A Little Town…
The town of Requa (pronounced Rek-wah) was a bustling fishing center on the Klamath River in the late 1800s when a hotel was first constructed to serve the Klamath’s numerous fish canneries. Although the bustling commercial center is now a sleepy village in the Redwood National Park, the Historic Requa Inn has been a feature of the area for almost 100 years. Built in 1914, the plain, almost utilitarian arts and crafts Bed and Breakfast continues to be a special place today. And this is a very special place. Since time immemorial the Yurok people have had a village at Rek-woi – making Requa one of the longest, continuously inhabited places in California.
An Extraordinary Retreat…
Notably named to National Geographic Traveler’s 2009 “”Stay List”” (a collection of 129 of the must-stay places in the United States, Canada, and Mexico); And earning a 2010 Fodors Choice Distinction from Fodor’s Travel; The tiny Requa Inn was also recently featured as a great Northern California redwoods getaway by the ever popular “”Weekend Sherpa.”” It is certainly the most unique and historical bed and breakfast (B&B) in the Redwood National Park.
A Destination for World Travelers…
Drawing a guest list of hikers, fishermen, paddlers, cyclists, birders, beachcombers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds from all over the world. The inn is also a haven for writers, photographers, dreamers, planners, and those who simply want a peaceful getaway. Built as a 22 room hotel in 1914 after a fire destroyed an older hotel built on the same site in the late 1800s, this old building has a character that is a unique experience.
Dining and Accommodations…
If you are not staying or dining at the Requa Inn, options even at the small, remote nearby town of Klamath are very limited in the off season, with a few more options available in the summer. Crescent City is 25 minutes away and has a few additional dining options. It is not necessary to stay at the Inn to eat there. But call ahead and find out when meals are served and if there is adequate room.
