I made reservation on Expedia for myself and my son (9 years old), nowhere did it state that children had to be >10 years. I also sent a message to the hotel prior requesting confirmation that my 9 year old son was welcome- I received no response. When we arrived at the hotel (after a long drive from San Francisco) we were not greeted with a kind hello but with a mean snear from the InnKeeper. The first thing he did was glare at my son and ask how old he was. My son was afraid and this set the tone for the trip. The Innkeeper was not welcoming and he rushed through our tour of the property. My son was afraid for the entire stay that we would be kicked out. My son is calm and quiet and we mingled playing chess with other guests. We did not feel welcome at all. The \"chef prepared\" breakfast was just eggs, bacon and fruit which took an incredibly long time to make especially considering we made a reservation for a time slot. Eggs were too buttery, fruit was good, bacon was delicious but not enough, coffee was weak. Not sure why the hype on the breakfast. The \"Tea time and wine time\" is only from 4-5 despite the website advertising 4-6. The finicky Innkeeper cleaned it up prompt at 5 which I thought was a little cheap. The wine and snacks were cheap anyway. The property is beautiful but we will never stay there again or recommend it unless we are contacted with an apology for ruining the start to our trip.

Beautiful home, well maintained, and a great experience. We felt at home and lucky to experience staying somewhere with so much character. It really feels like you’re in a different time. The breakfast was delicious and room was clean and comfortable. One slight negative was the water for the shower was temperamental…but everything else was perfect!

We loved our stay at the Gingerbread Mansion Inn. Our room was comfortable and beautifully maintained, and the entire inn had a warm, elegant Victorian ambience that made it feel like stepping back in time. The common areas were full of character, and the morning light filtering through the stained glass created a truly memorable atmosphere.

Breakfast was wonderful. The gluten-free waffles were delicious, and we appreciated that dietary needs were accommodated without sacrificing quality. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and served in a charming setting.

Of all five overnight stops during our six-day Highway 1 road trip, Ferndale was our favorite town. It was cozy, welcoming, and full of historic charm. The beautifully preserved Victorian architecture, quiet streets, and relaxed pace made it feel like discovering a hidden gem.

Gingerbread Mansion Inn was the perfect place to experience it. We would happily stay here again and would recommend both the inn and Ferndale to anyone looking for a unique Northern California getaway.

The property is in great shape, and it is stunning to look at — especially all the little details inside.

The breakfast is very good and served on one plate (egg- based dish, fruit, sausage/bacon). When we were there, the afternoon tea included a nice charcuterie board.

The garden area was closed during our stay, and the mansion didn’t have many guests. We wondered how the small staff could handle a full house when all the rooms were booked as it seemed they didn’t have a lot of time to spare with only a few rooms occupied.

The WiFi on the second floor was not very good, and we struggled to keep the connection/had very slow down and upload speeds.

Lovely place to stay, and with a few tweaks it could be an amazingly memorable place to stay.

There was one main problem with our room - the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, the mattress fell into the middle and the bed creaked loudly every time you moved. We barely got any sleep. Also there was no soap or shampoo for the bath or the shower. The breakfast and hors d'oeuvres were very good. The hot water, shower and towels were quite good.

We loved our time at the Gingerbread mansion. Oliva was an amazing host. Breakfast prepared each day was some of the best we have had. Snacks provided at tea time each day were also a big perk. The mansion was such a cozy experience. We loved our time spent at the mansion as well as exploring the town of Ferndale. Hiking and exploring the town made our time there very memorable. I fear future B&Bs may be ruined for me as this was my first time experiencing a true B&B experience and any future ones will have a lot to live up to! Highly recommend and thanks again to Olivia!

Victorian Stay in Ferndale

Had a lovely stay!! Beautiful victorian house. Bed is extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I just wish it came with eggs :)

The town of Ferndale is cute, but very sleepy….Everything shuts down at 8pm. It would be nice if restaurants stayed open beyond 8pm during the summer season.

I do have to say that Ferndale does not have a lot to offer restaurant wise but we made do with what was open on a Wednesday night. Our room itself, the Lilac Room, was roomy and comfortable although the bed, a queen, was at an unusual height to be able to just simply lay down. In addition to having to decide to roll into or use the provided stairs to get into it, it squeeked anytime either one of us moved in it. This was accompanied by the flooring providing its own squeek tone to the arrangement. On a more positive note, the happy hour of wine and cheese was a nice touch and the place overall was very clean. Thus our middle of the road review especially for the amount we paid.

Beautiful!

This was a lovely stay. The staff was friendly & helpful. The inn was very nice. The scones at breakfast were wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here.
The bedroom was darling the beds were very high but nice step stool was there so no problem getting in/out. The beds were really soft!

We certainly enjoyed the location and the staff.
We checked in and then were welcomed to their tea and wine time with appropriate goodies for each.
Breakfast was yummy and filling with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, english muffins and an orange breakfast cake. We were the only guests for our 1 night.
We stayed in the Lilac room which was lovely. We did find the bamboo sheets to be quite slick and were easily untucked during the night. The beds were raised up, with steps provided to get into and out of bed. This mattress, unfortunately, had that proverbial dent in the middle so that we kept rolling to the middle. We would certainly stay again however not in the Lilac room : )
You should go and enjoy this lovely town.

Always 2 nights OR MORE

Your B&B and your town are a perfect gem.
I've recommended you far and near.
Loved renting The Majestic on You Tube TV
and watching it in room then walking around asking locals where the sets had been built. Never stay here just 1 night. Absolute must be 2 nights or more.

Gingerbread Mansion in December

The personal friendliness and attention of the staff was delightful. The bed was like a cloud, a cozy, warm cloud. Breakfasts were yummy. All the rooms, free wine and tea to enjoy in the evening, and getting to chat with the guests was great.

Great place, funky sheets

All good, except the sheets on the bed in the \"Lilac\" room popped off the corners; had to pull the bed together 3 times in the night... not so good. Also, that mattress has a pretty severe canoe dent in the center, just FYI.

A perfect little place of paradise!

It's everything and more than pictured or advertised! Every room in the house was just simply gorgeous! The service was fantastic. The tea and wine and desserts, cheese and crackers were such a refreshing treat after a long days travel. The rooms were beautiful and private we even had our own little deck a patio. The town was quite and beautiful as we walked around. We had an absolutely mouth watering fantastic meal just down the street. The town people were welcoming and friendly. I would live here if we could, but at the very least we will be back when ever possible!

A Gem

I surprised my wife by staying here on the second day of our honeymoon. Not only is Ferndale a total Gem of a town but the Gingerbread mansion was the prize gem of any place i have ever stayed. Oh, and the breakfast was a big hit with my new bride.

We absolutely loved the Gingerbread House. When we pulled up they were painting the front steps. They apologized for our inconvenience and offered us an upgrade to our room. The bed and blankets were amazing. Best sleep ever!!! The decor in the house will keep u busy checking out every room. We were treated to a glass of wine and tasty snacks when we checked in and a delicious breakfast when we woke. Best night of our 2 week holiday.

DON’T ACT GINGERLY. GO FOR IT!

A pleasant step back in time in the delightful town of Ferndale. We were warmly welcomed just in time for afternoon tea - or wine had we preferred. Our room was comfortable and it was an easy stroll to the restaurant where we’d made reservations. The included breakfast was delicious. Only recommendation: Ferndale’s water is heavily chlorinated; provided bottled or filtered water would be most welcome.

The mansion was incredible and in excellent condition but to be honest the breakfasts were very underwhelming. I’m not sure if Covid it still effecting the service levels but it felts like breakfast on a small budget

Very beautiful place. Staff was nice. Doorbell didn’t work.
Our room was stuffy and could have used a fan.

WiFi was unstable and unusable most of the time.
They need faster better Internet and maybe range Extenders.
The grounds are a little run down and shabby.

The Haunted Mansion

Excellent service from Angel who checked us in. She actually took the time to tell us about the house. Very professional and kind.

The property was fine if you like a super old, dark, and likely haunted. The bed was fine, bathroom clean, no complaints except it was old, which we knew going in. I think we’ve just been spoiled by some pretty incredible experiences at old, revitalized B&B’s, so we were a bit surprised by the overall condition.

The food was horrendous. No words. Would skip and eat in town.

Felt like royalty!

Such a beautiful building in a wonderful location close to everything Ferndale has to offer. The hospitality was terrific, food delicious, and the special touches of complimentary wine and tea and charcuterie much appreciated. We were the only guests so we had the whole mansion to ourselves. Perfect place to spend time together!

The best Victorian home in California.

Victorian home in immaculate condition...superb service from the hostess, high class breakfast (both the food and the setting)...perfect location, just a block from the downtown area where every building is on the Historic Register. All the rooms are slightly different; it is delightfully hard to pick the room you want. Be sure to have a meal at the Angelina Woodfired Kitchen nearby.
