Wonderful! When we found out Ferndale and Eureka had these well kept Victorian B and B’s we knew where we would be staying when we visited the Redwoods. Ultimately we decided on the Gingerbread Mansion based on reviews, the safety of Ferndale, and the themed rooms. We stayed in the Veneta which boasted amazing mural paintings and nice views of the surroundings. The entire place was immaculately kept. The service provided by everyone who worked there was friendly and attentive. We were offered wine and snacks 4-6pm which was extremely pleasant. Breakfast was an elevated experience and Kelsey was great to chat with. Wish we had more time to enjoy the place, but the coast and redwoods were calling. Until next time.

This is a magical place, during our stay I felt transported to another time. My daughter and I stayed during our road trip and were met with warm hospitality and left with lifelong memories. Thank you!

We visited end of May-early June 2023, literally just got home. The staff are so very sweet and focused on providing the "you're home" feeling. Other than no chores..

Thank you Ladies for everything you did to ensure a special Birthday Celebration.

Cozy inn, great staff. Great place to stay at when there is a local event. Town is very small/limited.
