The Victorian Inn is a stunning bed and
breakfast hotel located between the Pacific coast and giant
redwoods of Northern California in the Victorian village of
Ferndale.
The building dates back to 1890. Banker Ira
C. Russ used locally harvested redwood to exquisitely craft
one of the region's most notable 19th-century architectural
beauties.
Even today, a meticulously preserved facade
makes the inn one of Northern California's most photographed
buildings as well as a backdrop for major movies. Historic
surroundings complement its nostalgic, postcard-like appeal,
and Curley's, its on-site restaurant and tavern, makes the inn
a hub of activity.
Victorian Inn's three romantic suites and
nine guestrooms are beautifully appointed with 14- and 16-foot
ceilings, luxuriant private baths, and vintage fixtures and
furnishings. Each accommodation has a telephone, television,
and high speed Internet access available, and beyond that,
each is uniquely different, projecting a self-contained
chapter in this inn's storied history.
In the morning, you'll enjoy a full
breakfast. When the sun sets, you'll need only head downstairs
to Curley's Restaurant for fine dining and cocktails.
If you plan to visit with a group, special
catering can be arranged. The inn also accommodates corporate
retreats, and meeting rooms and banquet facilities are
available for reservation year-round.
Ferndale's main local attractions include
the Ferndale Museum and the Ferndale Repertory Theatre, the
oldest and largest performing arts organization in Humboldt
County. This Victorian village also boasts some rather
suspenseful Murder Mystery Weekends where participants comb
through Ferndale's historic Main Street District in search of
clues. And don't forget to visit Centerville Beach or go
hiking in Russ Park or along the coast.
Ferndale has been the setting a a few first
run movies including "The Majestic" with Jim Carrey
and "Outbreak" with Dustin Hoffman. |
You will find treasures and entertainment
on Main Street, lined with eclectic shops and treasure-filled
galleries. In fact, if it's treasure you seek, you'll need
only visit the former front parlors of the Victorian Inn. They
house Silva's Fine Jewelry, one of Northern California's
largest collections of rare gems and specially designed
jewelry from around the world.
Given the region's temperate clime, the
nearby Pacific coast beaches also extend a year-round
invitation, as do several area golf courses and the towering
redwoods. In fact, the world-famous Headwaters Forest, a grove
of recently saved old-growth trees, is just a short drive from
Ferndale.
Northern California's natural beauty
combines with the unique yesteryear charm of Ferndale's
Victorian Inn to create the perfect headquarters for area
traveling, tours, romance, and shopping. Your hosts invite you
to come and stay with them in the lovely town of Ferndale.
