The children of Arthur Benbow purchased Script error: No such module "convert". from Ernest Linser and also some land from John Kamper, Jack Bowden and a Mr. Peirce in 1922.[4] It soon became apparent that ranching would not be sufficient to meet their needs so the family constructed the Benbow Inn resort hotel.[4] In the early years the Inn was known as the Hotel Benbow and opened on July 17, 1926.[4] The electricity for the hotel came from two diesel generators until a dam and powerhouse was completed on the south fork of the Eel River.[5][2] The Tudorbethan style inn is still in operation on US Route 101 between Humboldt Bay and the San Francisco Bay Area.[2]
