Kerby is a little village located on Redwood Hwy (Hwy 199) in the Illinois valley (the valley that is surrounded by Klamath National Forest, section of Jedidah Redwood Forest, Six River National Forest and Seguina National Forest. 199 continue to meet 62 which goes all the way to crater lake. Since we planned to drive from San Francisco-redwoods-crater lake, we decided to stay in the Illionis Valley past the redwoods, before we drive to crater lake. This place is about 9 hrs from San Francisco, an hour from Jedidah Redwood Forest and 2 hours earlier to crater lake.
Kerbyville Inn Bed & Breakfast is a very small, yet cute little B & B on hwy 199. It is conveniently located on the Hwy, but once you drive in the parking area and to your little cottages/cabins, it feels very quiet and beautiful. The rooms have a tiny patio area in the front with chairs and little table and beautiful vines, flower baskets and other flowering plants. The site has beautifully placed garden elements like bird bath, glass butterflies, chairs, swings etc. Besides, there are beautiful views in the background of huge mountains of redwoods.
The interior is cute with beautiful French style curtains, bedsheets, comforter, pillows, wall paintings etc. Our room (Merlot Room) had a tiny tv, fan (no ac), dresser, night stand, 2 shades, eating table and 2 chairs, coffee maker and refrigerator (no microwave). The furniture was all wooden and has beautiful carvings/ nobs. The bed had a metal headboard and footboard which adding to the décor and the mattress was very soft and comfortable. The toiletries were not cheap, infact were spa standards. Our little bamboo basket included honey-almond shampoo, honey-suckle conditioner, French mulled oatmeal soap, chamomile facial cleanser soap, French clarifying bar and lavender scented make-up removing wipes. It is definitely better than any standard hotel in that area. 3 sets of white towels, paper towels, bathroom tissue, hand soap is a default. The coffee basket included 2 packets of signature 100 % Colombian coffee (it was really good coffee), tea, sugar, creamers, alternate sweeteners and protein bars. The refrigerator had 2 bottles of chilled water. Each room has a pair of beautiful water glasses, wine glasses, French designed china cups and saucers, silverware and a wine-bottle opener.
The best part was the complimentary breakfast brought to your room. The manager Claudie is awesome. The day before she asks the time for breakfast and brings it at that perfect time. The first morning we were served Orange juice, toasted bagels, cup of berries, waffles, syrup, jellies-jams butter and cream cheese. The next day we were served quiche and blueberry bread. Claudie makes different things for breakfast everyday, which include omlets, frittattas, waffles, pancakes etc.Shelives on-site and is always accessible for questions concerns and is very pleasing and helpful (it was cold that day and I forget to bring any warm clothes, she even offered to give me her warm clothes to borrow).
If you stay at this B & B, wine tasting is free at the Binneville Winery which is 15 mins drive from the B&B.
For all this we paid $59.95 including tax for one day/night. It was worth the money.
Would have liked: AC and microwave in the room.
