The Best Western PLUS Humboldt House Inn sits right where Highway 101 and Highway 29 intersect in Garberville, making it a practical base if you’re driving the Redwood Coast or heading into deeper Humboldt County. The location cuts your drive time significantly if you’re planning to explore Avenue of the Giants, nearby state parks, or the winding roads through the redwoods.

The rooms are straightforward and clean with the kind of reliable comfort you get from the Best Western chain—nothing surprising, but nothing disappointing either. Modern amenities are there when you need them, and after spending a day hiking or driving around the region, the simple quality of the rooms becomes genuinely appealing. The inn welcomes dogs, which means you can bring your dog in from the road and not worry about finding an alternative place to stay.

What makes this spot work for dog owners is the no-fuss approach. You’re not jumping through hoops or dealing with complicated pet policies—you just show up with your dog. The inn recognizes that travelers moving through this area often have dogs with them, and they’ve built their operations around that reality rather than treating it as an exception.

Garberville itself is a small town, but it’s got enough going on that you’re not completely isolated if the weather doesn’t cooperate or you want a meal that isn’t from your cooler. The downtown area is walkable if you want to stretch your legs with your dog between drives. The real draw, though, is how centrally located this place is for getting into the surrounding forest and parks without backtracking through town or burning extra gas.

The inn fills up during peak season, especially during summer weekends when people are road-tripping the coast, so if you’re planning a specific date, don’t wait too long to reserve.
