Dreamy dollhouse that you can actually stay the night in! I planned a trip to Eureka just to see this house and I feel it was worth the drive from LA. I truly adore historic homes, specifically victorian houses and this was like a dream come to life. It was clean and incredibly well maintained. The paint is gorgeous just like the stained glass windows. Overall, highly recommend visiting! read more

I generally do not like homes with multiple bedrooms and shared bathrooms, but my girlfriend set this one up. I must admit it was a decent experience. Upon arrival Jacqueline met us at the front door and gave us a very good overview of the history of not just of The Pinc Lady Mansion, but of Eureka and the surrounding area. The room we stayed in was comfortable and the decor appropriate, not overdone. It was clean as were the bathrooms. Note: Be sure to bring your own house shoes. The Pinc Lady Mansion has a no-outside shoes allowed inside policy and the loaner slippers are all in women's sizes. Unless you are a woman or child, they will not fit. read more

This spot was such a meaningful and beautiful stay. Jacquline and Mario are attentive, kind hosts, whose passion for restoring the space is so apparent and appreciated. Walking down the stairs in the house had me feeling like Eliza Doolittle and Pollyanna -- the atmosphere was both elegant and cozy. Highly recommend the turret room -- its front row view of the Carson Mansion was an exciting and captivating perk. They have options for shared or private restrooms. Our experience of the shared restroom with others guests was clean, easy, and completely comfortable. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. Jacqueline and her son Mario have created something truly special with The Pinc Lady. It's not every day that someone creates a business with the intent to make the world a more beautiful place. But that's exactly what they've done. It's all original inside and out and they are meticulous about keeping every detail perfect. All while also being warm in how they welcome and care for their guests. I can't recommend The Pinc Lady more highly. read more

My husband surprised me with an overnight at this beautiful mansion, and I was speechless when I found out that I was actually going to be able to experience this location! It meant so much to me to look across the street and see the Carson Mansion, which I remember visiting as a child. We were welcomed with a warm historical tour by the owner Jacqueline which really helped to acclimate us to the property and appreciate the many unique details of the home. We felt so welcomed, and loved our time there. Already planning to visit again someday. So clean and quite, and close to cute shops and restaurants in Old Town Eureka not to mention view of the water! This place is a true gem, and a perfect get away. read more

The Pinc Lady Mansion - Guest Houses Near Me - Eureka, California

The Pink Lady or "The Pinc" is located on Humboldt Bay near the historic Carson House. It is also a Victorian Queen Anne architectural style home. Carson House owner William Carson gifted this home to his son and wife on their wedding day in the late 1800's. Unlike Carson Mansion, you can actually go inside the Pinc. You can book an overnight stay, a tour, or an event here. This place can accommodate up to 8 guests in 4 large bedrooms. Coming soon will be a lounge room for dining, a gift shop, and a museum. If you don't get a chance to go inside, take a minute to admire the gorgeous architecture of this place from outside. The restoration process of the Pink Lady was featured on Discovery+. Because this place is a historical landmark, there are strict policies that all guests must adhere to. read more

The Pink Lady Mansion belonged to William Carson's son. This mansion is right across the street from the Carson Mansion. Unlike that mansion The Pink Lady you can go in as it is a guest house at this point of time but casual passersby should not get the impression that you can do a tour on demand. You will probably need to make arrangements to see the inside with who owns the building. The mansion fell into disrepair at one point but then got restored. Not sure if it was always pink but it was pink since the restoration. While not quite as noticeable from a distance and not quite as opulent as the Carson Mansion it is still a very unique looking building in the neighborhood and is well worth some pictures and as for seeing the inside best make arrangements for that to happen. read more

My wife and I recently spent five nights at the Pinc Lady over the Thanksgiving holiday. We at first weren't sure if the shared bathroom situation would be comfortable, but it turned out to be just fine. There are two full and one 1/2 baths to be shared by four guest rooms. Each is well appointed, spacious, and very clean. During our stay, we hardly saw another guest using any of the bathrooms. With three to choose from, we never had to wait for access. Our host, Mario, was single-handedly managing the inn while his mother was out of town. Despite checking guests in and out, he was keeping the inn well provisioned with linens, toiletries, coffee bar supplies, and other incidentals needed by guests. He was very attentive to our needs. He provided us a space heater for our turret room, which is at the end of the forced air heating system (it kept us plenty comfy), plenty of towels, and even called us when we were out for a walk when it started to rain to see if we wanted him to come get us. Mario is also in the midst of converting a portion of the basement of the inn into a café/bar, which looks like it's going to be a real cozy attraction, likely to be open this coming summer. He even gave us tours of parts of the mansion, normally off-limits to guests, which was great fun. His ability to stay on top of all this and be a welcoming host was very impressive, and ensures that we will be staying at the Pinc lady the next time we are in Eureka. Our thanks to Mario for a very pleasing stay! read more

The Pinc Lady is an authentic Victorian and it's interesting to experience Victorian living. We booked the light and airy turret room. The turret area itself has high ceilings and wrap around windows. Perfect for reading and gazing at the Marina. The owner gave us a very detailed tour-much appreciated. She is very nice and works hard to ensure the mansion is immaculate. Oh, and our bed was amazing! We didn't realize until after we booked that no breakfast was provided and neither food nor drinks are allowed in the room-our fault for not reading the information carefully. Luckily we have relatives in Eureka and there are enough restaurants so that was not an issue. If you're interested in getting a glimpse into a fascinating era, this is the perfect place for you. read more

We have tried calling over 20x to make reservations. No answer and keep getting the same run around of making reservations online. Except there is no option to make tea only reservations online. Drove 6.5 hours to see if we could make reservations in person and was referred back to the website and turned away. read more

The Pink Lady is a smaller mansion right across the street from the Carson Mansion. Apparently the owner of the Carson mansion built the Pink Lady to give as a gift to one of his children for their wedding (there is a plaque mentioning this in front of the home). Although it's not as large, the Pink Lady is still a beautiful home! When I visited it, they unfortunately not giving any indoor tours (due to COVID). This is still a must-see stop if you're visiting Eureka and appreciate history. read more

I'm deeply saddened by the need to recount our devastating experience at the Pinc Lady, where my husband and I celebrated our wedding on October 13th. What should have been a joyous occasion turned into a nightmare, marred by the unprofessionalism and troubling actions of the new owners, Mario and Jacquelyn. I would have liked to have left a more detailed review with more evidence, however Google only allows so much. Background: Coming from lower Southern California, we discovered the Pinc Lady through a postcard featuring the Carson Mansion. Living 10 hours away, the Carson Mansion's strict "club-only" policies led us to choose the Pinc Lady for its charm and history, though unaware of the drastic changes under new ownership. Despite viewing appealing online photos from the previous owners, the reality revealed itself on their Airbnb page and in-person. Booking and Communication: Booking the venue in early summer for Thursday to Saturday, we paid around $2,000 for two nights. Initial communication with Jacquelyn, Mario, and Gabby seemed promising, with clear expectations for our wedding ceremony and reception. Thursday 10/12: Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Mario, as Jacquelyn was absent. Despite his initial helpfulness, the disappointment began with the cluttered entryway and tacky house slippers setup. The interior tour revealed a lack of cohesion, cheap decorations, and an overall disregard for the historical mansion's integrity. Issues escalated as Mario failed to mention the backyard's demolished state due to renovations, affecting our planned outdoor ceremony. Nonchalantly, he requested a $500 security deposit, catching us off guard, and Jacquelyn's handling of the payment was unprofessional. Darkened rooms with malfunctioning chandeliers and outlets added to our dismay, forcing us to cancel our catered dinner due to insufficient lighting. Jacquelyn promised a 20% discount due to the lack of lighting and usage of two main rooms during our-stay. Friday 10/13: On our wedding day, morning hiccups included missing light bulbs and lamps. Attempts to create light for the ceremony exposed a deteriorated blind due to sun damage. Tensions peaked when Mario and my mother engaged in a verbal altercation over opening blinds for light, resulting in unprofessional threats regarding the security deposit. Later that evening, police presence revealed a woman's abduction in front the mansion, emphasizing the compromised security camera situation. Police expressed disappointment in the Pinc Lady, underscoring safety concerns in the area. Saturday 10/14: We left the Pinc Lady in its original condition, meticulously restoring the setup. Communication issues persisted post-wedding, with no resolution on the damaged blind, the unreceived security deposit, or the promised reimbursement. One-Month Update: Efforts to work with Jacquelyn on the blind issue proved futile, prompting the decision to file a civil case for the promised money. Our wedding day, tainted by regret, serves as a cautionary tale against recommending the Pinc Lady for any event, especially a wedding. The overall experience, marked by a series of disappointments and safety concerns, leaves an enduring sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment. 0/5 stars, do not do business here. read more

What a gem! We had the privilege of staying the night at the Pinc and it was am a great time. The owner and his mother are lovely people. The room we stayed at was beautiful! We opted to hear the historic story behind this mansion and it was very interesting. The room and bathroom are both extremely clean and quaint. We will definitely be back with friends and family. Thank you Mario for your wonderful hospitality read more

Staying at the Pinc made the trip up to Eureka that much better. We came during the kinetic sculpture race and being able to watch them in front of the Pinc was great. Walking down to the dock to watch them pass was great. Close to downtown to walk for ice cream and dinner at the end of the day from the zoo, redwood walk, skate parks was perfect. Everything was extremely clean and well cared for. Nice selection of drinks and snacks for breakfast. Excellent hospitality and local knowledge from the hosts. Would definitely visit again. read more

Before we bought our house the previous owners had, at one point, painted it Pepto Bismol pink. Before they put it on the market they repainted it a neutral beige so I never saw it in it's garish pink glory. Now, our house isn't a Victorian mansion but when I saw The Pink Lady I imagined that, just perhaps, our house wasn't quite so bad that shade. It's actually pretty adorable on the Pink Lady, with its white accents and lead, stained glass windows, it's a stunning home. We didn't go inside but, since we stopped by to check out the Carson Mansion across the street, we encountered the Pink Lady. And, to be quite honest, I preferred the Pink Lady to Carson. It's just cute and far more photogenic than its more masculine partner across the street. It's definitely worth a peek if you're in the area! read more

The Pink Lady, aka the Carson house, is one of a handful of the grand Victorian era homes to survive in old town. Restored and maintained over the years and now back to its former beauty. This grand lady is not open to the public and a multi artist showing afforded us a brief opportunity to explore inside. Every inch of this house has been painstakingly brought back to near original condition. The attention to detail in the woodwork alone is beyond comparison, and a lost craftsmanship you rarely see in today's homes. The high ceilings and windows allow natural light into all of its rooms and makes the space feel warm and bright even on my cool afternoons visit. Stained glass adornments around the parlor glass and stairwell are beautiful details. The door hinges also throughout the entire household are works of art, again a craftsmanship that's unheard of in today architecture. This grand building is available for private venues and as well it can be yours as a vacation rental if you're so inclined. 4 Stars - a unique building with old world craftsmanship throughout, to an era gone by. 00601 read more

The Pinc Lady COMPLETELY exceeded my expectations!! As a history buff, staying in the home was everything I could have asked for. As I told my wife, you can almost hear the stories the place has to tell just by walking the halls. The dining option was something I did not plan to splurge on, however I am glad I did! It is hard to find the core three when at a restaurant (good service, great food, and a remarkable view), yet the Pinc Lady more than delivered. My wife and I will definitely be returning the next time I am passing through Eureka! read more

We stayed in the Pink Lady for a two-night birthday extravaganza. The location does not get any better, as this property is located at the north end of Old Town Eureka--walking distance to all the fun Eureka has to offer. We walked to coffee and bagels in the morning, to shopping in the afternoon, and to dinner and bars at night. The house itself is quirky and adorable. Tons of space. The beds are all very comfortable, and the crazy thing for this old of a house, the bedrooms are completely silent inside--we were a mixed group with someone always coming or going, and I'm a light sleeper. But we just couldn't hear any noise from the house once inside a bedroom--amazing! The kitchen is only lightly stocked--might want to check before planning to cook in. It's also quite small for a home this size. Tons of towels, plenty of private bathroom space for folks who aren't totally intimate friends, and a huge backyard to drink wine in! At this point, there were no patio furniture of any type outside, so we had to sit on beach towels, but I'm sure the new owner will remedy that soon. Seems a shame to waste the beautiful back yard. If you stay at the Pink Lady, be sure to walk around the corner to the Humboldt Bay Bistro--truly excellent food, drinks, and service. Views of the bay! I will definitely stay at the Pink Lady again--hopefully making an annual tradition of this trip! read more
