    Morning breakfast served by their amazing staff. Fresh fruits, waffle, bacon and juice of you choice.

    Amazing experience! Will definitely come back again. This place gives you your own privacy of feeling at home. Victorian home with a lot of history that can be felt during your stay.

    Beautiful walls in the Veneto Rm.

    Enjoyed our stay in the Veneto rm. Breakfast was delicious. Stayed another day in a different inn. The Gingerbread was far superior. Wish I could return.

    Beautiful Victorian, very authentic with decor and music. Comfy big room and super friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent. Super close to downtown, like steps away! Would stay again!

    There isn't enough words to say on how much I loved this place. The lady met me and helped me with my luggage to the 2nd floor. Super quiet and homey with fireplaces going. The rooms are amazing. She said I was able to look at any rooms with the doors open and they were so cool unique! So big and nice. My room was so cute and the bed had a stool to get into the bed. They are so high and comfy. I can't tell you enough about how comfortable the beds are. Slippers and robes for you to use. And clean! So clean! Big bathroom. 4-6 is free apps and wine and water. It was so nice . She had it all set up and so beautiful and I sat by the fireplace drinking wine and eating apps. And you can for 2 hours! And lots of appetizers to choose from. Finger foods but couldn't be more perfect. Ferndale is a very small town. One strip of shops and restaurants and one saloon bar. The mansion is walking distance to the strip. Perfect location. All the cable channels you need and I had the best sleep. I can't say enough how homey it is for it being so huge with so many rooms. For breakfast that is included it's all set up in another room with pre set menus . I am dairy free only and saw the menu and thought oh well I will pick and choose what I can eat. She walked up and said I saw your note on the reservation I made you an entire dairy free breakfast with blueberry muffin, eggs with vegan butter , potatoes, bacon etc. I couldn't believe how nice that was that I gave her a tip which I know wasn't required. But it was the sweetest thing. This is well worth seeing and staying . I spent one night at the casino across the river and one night here for a more restful night . Perfect weekend!

    My husband and I stayed in the Garden room this past Friday night. The host who greeted us was super friendly and gave us a brief tour as well a suggestions for restaurants within walking and driving distance. Beautiful Interior and grounds, well kept room and spacious restroom. My only complaint is even though I really enjoyed all of the antique furniture, our bed was Super Creaky! I was scared move at all... it was that noisy lol! And it kinda sloped down so you were sleeping in a V position. We chose the 8:00 am breakfast as we had early plans for the day. There were two other couples seated in the dinning room when we arrived. I did feel like the hostess for breakfast was a little short with us vs the other two couples in the dining room at the time. She seemed very friendly with the other couples, even offering them sausage or bacon with their meal and asking if everything was ok, etc. When it came to us she was super short, clunked our plates down in front of us rather harsh, and that was it. I ran into her again to ask about where to leave the keys when we checked out and was met with the same kind of curt attitude. Overall we had just an okay stay. Not sure if I'd recommend to friends or family given how I was made to feel semi unwelcome. But I am glad we got to stop and see the quaint little town and enjoyed the Victorian architecture.

    Went for my Daughter's bridal shower today. Was a little disappointed as the hostess didn't know much about the different teas and just left us and didn't explain what the food was either. Had to poor our own mimosas as well. Just expected more for the $60 champagne and $50 a person tab...

    10/10 I would recommend !! The staff is so knowledgeable,friendly, considerate , accommodating and hospitable. They genuinely care and made my visit that much more amazing. I can feel the love and appreciation they put into running the gingerbread JUST WOW!! Thank you Olivia and Persia. This mother daughter duo are a pair unmatched in the kitchen and all around the gingerbread. There warm welcoming throughout my stay was hands down the best I've ever experienced. If you have a food allergy or are vegan vegetarian or just love food they make everything from scratch. You can smell and taste the love that the staff brings to the gingerbread's charm. It's so clean and inviting. I felt like I was transported into a different era . Olivia gave me a tour of the historical gingerbread mansion and let me look at all the rooms. Such a unique experience , I cannot wait to go back. I stayed last sept. And am planning a trip as soon as I can. There's so many reasons to check out this amazing establishment

    ...so my daughter got a week off for Thanksgiving break, she is seven, and for a week prior to her vacation we looked and looked and looked for a wonderful place to stay and we have been all over together, I am her father. We found this beautiful place online and checked it out and booked it immediately and we couldn't be happier that we did! wow what an experience what an amazing place, it's absolutely kept clean and organized and fireplaces everywhere that are running that leave you feeling just so comfortable. Plenty of games to play and plenty of rooms to explore, my daughter and I played hide and seek for hours and it was just amazing. And then we had breakfast, and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious, in fact our second day there we were served in the most classy and elegant style the very best biscuits and gravy I've ever had in my life. The mistress of the house Olivia was incredibly classy and accommodating, we will absolutely be coming back to this wonderful Jewel of a place. And there's plenty to do in the surrounding areas, like this amazing rock store only about 10 minutes away, plus you have the bay to play in, plus not too far is a really cool zoo. This is an amazing place to bring kids ... thank you for such a wonderful time!

    Another delicious breakfast at Gingerbread Mansion.

    Today's Breakfast Mother/Daughter Innkeepers Olivia and Persia have created a beautiful sanctuary in Ferndale at the Gingerbread Mansion. This was today's breakfast from Chef Persia Absolutely delicious!

    This place was excellent - from the decor to the top notch staff. The room was nicely appointed and the bed extremely comfortable. The afternoon tea with cheese and wine was a delightful touch. Breakfast was good and consisted of a ham, eggs, fruit, and a biscuit. It was only a few minutes walk from the center of town.

    breakfast at the bed and breakfast

    beautiful, unique stay! tea service was set out when we checked in with complimentary wine and cheese as well, we got to tour the mansion, and enjoyed viewing the unoccupied suites (scoping which rooms we would pick for our next stay). our room was charming and quaint, very clean. the gounds were quiet and respectful. breakfast and coffee was served in the dining room the next morning, very delicious! would love to stay here again next time we're passing up or down the coast! highly recommend for anyone who appreciates old charm and character.

    We drove up from the Bay Area and had the best time. It is a very quiet town, not too much going on, so it's good if you want to get away and enjoy some quiet. There is a beach 10 minutes away with barely any people so you can lay out for hours and just relax with the only sound being the waves. The hotel was so meticulously decorated and also very clean. So much detail went into decorating it, really feels like you step back in time. We came up to celebrate our anniversary and the staff were really sweet and left flowers outside our door with a note. They were also accommodating, as we arrived earlier than the check in time. They put so much love and effort into the snacks at tea time. The breakfast was also delicious. The only downside which was minuscule was that we were on the bottom floor right next to the kitchen so the other guests woke us up early when they went in for breakfast. So if you like to sleep in, maybe request a room upstairs. I can't get over how beautiful this place was. We will definitely make the 5 hour drive again!

    Walk back in time at this quaint inn. We enjoyed our little escape from the Bay Area here. The free breakfast is also quality.

    Had a wonderful stay at the Victorian Inn. We were sad to leave this morning and hope to return…read more The inn is located in the sweet town of Ferndale. The architecture of the inn reflects the charm of the city. The rooms are very quaint and quiet. They may be small but they are very comfortable and well adorned. The only issue is that the inn is not ADA compliant and the stairs are a little steep when carrying luggage. All the rooms are upstairs Jason the owner was accommodating and very friendly Our deep respects and admiration for Lowell at the desk who made our stay so special and was beyond friendly and caring We are both nights in the village pub where both Lili and Andrea outdid the service. Not only was their hospitality and friendliness superior but the food was very good. The fish and chips cooked to perfection, the fries crispy and delicious and the smashed burger perfectly made. Lily was friendly and sure to greet us on her day off ! We can't say enough wonderful words about our experience We just wish that the breakfast service was available before 8am and had a few more substantial choices.

    Such a treat to be transported back in time getting to stay in such an architectural gem. We were…read moreawed by our room, and the gorgeous bar, and all the period charm. The people here were the most amazing part of our visit. They were so warm and friendly and authentic. And so accommodating- we stopped in with short notice and they put us up, when we sat at the bar and asked for some cards they found some for us, and the cocktails were amazing. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. And this place feels very safe - the Inn, the people, the town - I felt perfectly safe going to my car at night after dark to fetch a couple things. Great location for female travelers.
