This is a beautiful historic home in an absolutely charming little town. We loved our stay here. As a bonus, the breakfast was delicious! The eggs had a fantastic, fresh herbed flavor and the gluten free waffle was the BEST waffle I’ve ever eaten!

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.

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.

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.
