The Basics

SELECT REGISTRY MEMBER SINCE 2003

The Carter House Inns is an enclave of three magnificent Victorians perched alongside Humboldt Bay in Old Town Eureka. The luxurious accommodations are paired with the sumptuous dining at Restaurant 301 (considered among Northern California's best restaurants), setting an indulgent tone for a marvelous visit to the giant redwood forests, rugged Pacific beaches, and all the other wonders of Redwood Coast. The award-winning wine list and widest bourbon selection make our bar a local gem.

Great boutique hotel close to Old Town. I travel with a dog and they were very pet friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the happy hour and light bites in the lobby bar and the breakfast was very nice. The place has a ton of character and the staff are very friendly.
