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.

Guest Reviews

The bed was comfortable. The service was very personable. It's more interesting than just staying at a modern hotel. And, while it's not modern, you can still they keep things up. I've stayed in classic hotels before where it was cool, but certainly could use some tiles replaced or a counter redone. No such concerns here, what-so-ever. We were quite pleased and would return. Oh... and their breakfast, which...See More

LOVELY, COMFORTABLE PLACE TO STAY We stopped in Eureka on our way to a graduation at the University of Oregon for our grandson in Eugene. Our stay in Hotel Carter was just terrific. The 'innkeeper' was delightful and helpful and gracious, as were all of the rest of the staff we interfaced with. Our room was very nice...spacious, clean, well appointed. And surprisingly, we had an absolutely 5 star...See More

The rooms and inn are very clean and well-kept, which is very important for me to feel comfortable. The inn is incredibly cozy and romantic and the rooms are well-appointed with convenient amenities. We...See More

We recently hosted our daughter's wedding in the Redwoods, and stayed as a group of 30 at the Carter House Inns and Hotel for the wedding weekend.
