After 14 years of managing the historic Benbow Inn properties, the current managers are ready to sell the business in order to spend more time with family. John E. Porter,managing partner of Benbow Hotel and Resort has announced that he and his partner have signed an agreement with the Passport Hotel Group, a hotel broker located in Napa Valley, to help sell the properties.

The luxury resort includes the golf course, the RV park, the inn and restaurant, and some undeveloped property. Price: $13.25 million.
