The room had a few details that needed attention but were not enough to bring to the attention of the innkeeper. The sink plug did not work (the ring was broken) - so had to use a knife to help the water go down. The curtain in the bathroom was tattered and needed a bit of sewing. The patio could have used a sweep (though it was cold & we did not sit out there). Otherwise, it was above exceptional!

Loved the availability to see the unoccupied rooms, the tea time & the breakfast was delicious!

We loved everything!

The hotel was immaculate and the staff were so lovely and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and catered to our needs (one vegetarian). It was the most special place that we’ve ever stayed and we will 100% be back in the future!

I had hoped there would have been more photographs from Days gone by accompanied by explanations. It seems like it may have been decorated in the 80's-90's and frozen in time, I would love to see some real period art sprinkled in. Being an estate liquidator you can purchase authentic pieces from that time period at estate sales or auction for under value.

I loved the historical story behind the property and the design of the building.

Olivia and her staff were so helpful and genuinely friendly. Really enjoyed meeting the other staffers,Persia and Sayler. she showed use around the house,before settling in and going out to dinner. She suggested a wonderful place to eat.We had 4 bikes with us, and she showed us a location on the property where we could store the bike for the night. The breakfast the next morning was freshly made from scratch.My girlfriend is a Vegetarian so she offered to make her fresh eggs for the protein, instead of the bacon I got. Cannot say enough great things about our completely inpromptu stop on our way to Oregon for Thanksgiving!! THANK YOU!!

Had to lug our luggage up two flights of stairs to the 3rd floor.

It was very heavy - sausage biscuits and gravy. Would have preferred something else.

There was really nothing to complain about the place. Certainly worth a little detour we took en route from Oregon to San Francisco.

The care and love that went into restoring and maintaining the place are evident and it really creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Our room was like a luxury accommodation from one of Charles Dickens's novels. Even the breakfast is served thinking how it could be done in a Victorian era. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

This is an absolutely amazing place! It has 11 bedrooms which are all lovingly decorated in period style with beautiful old furniture. The downstairs is spacious with several lovely rooms for guests to enjoy. Every room has fresh flowers and period decor. The afternoon tea and wine were an added bonus and the breakfast was delicious. In addition, the town of Ferndale is a gem. Don’t miss this place!

It is hard to be critical of anything, but we stayed in the fountain room with side-by-side bathtubs. It would have been nice to have a fan of some kind available after the hot bath.

Breakfast was delicious. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The house was spectacular and spotless. Everything was very nice.

Breakfast was single serving with no suggestion on more to eat.

We didn't really know much about this hotel when we booked but boy we do now. The ladies that ran it were amazing from the breakfasts to the afternoon tea which was fabulous and such a treat (home baked treats were delicious) The Gingerbread Mansion was like going back in time as every room was different from the wallpaper and the carpets and decor unbelievable really. You could go and have a look in other bedrooms that were vacant which was a joy seeing the beds so high as I remember as a child getting into my nans bed and having to jump up brought back lovely memories. Ferndale is a lovely town just 3 minutes walk and you are on the main street where the shops and restaurants are. Its also an easy reach to get to see the Costal Redwoods.

It was beyond all expectations. The staff was delightful. Our room was luxurious and we had several areas that we could sit and enjoy games or just talk. Appetizers and cookies and wine and tea were a nice afternoon treat. A specially cooked breakfast was delicious and we were even allowed to looked at the other sumptuous bedrooms that were not in use. This is a treat!

As advertised! Beautifully maintained 100+ year old mansion, pleasant and helpful staff, wonderful breakfast. Wonderful spot for a couple needing a respite, for a day or multiple days. We'll be going back!

Beautiful house, like a fairy tale gingerbread. Everything is vintage but comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and elegantly served. Olivia is a master inn keeper.

Delicious breakfasts, wonderful wine/tea-time in late afternoon, very helpful & friendly staff. Of course, the Inn itself is gorgeous, full of beautiful antiques & period decor.

Dinner restaurants on a Monday night were very limited.

Great location, a block from the main street. Our room was like a doll house that my wife always dreamed about. We had a nice private balcony. Meeting the other guests was the best part. Breakfast was very good.

The only negative, which could be easily remedied, was we both took cold showers! The water was warm for a minute and then remained cold. I would guess they had no idea the water heater needed to be adjusted! We did not see the innkeeper to relay that message.

The innkeeper at the Gingerbread Mansion was very welcoming and the property was beautiful and clean as could be. The evening reception was exceptional, wine, appetizers and the best homemade cookies. Breakfast was top notch.

Beautiful old place, but big stairs to pull suitcases up

It's not about the accommodation, it's about the experience. I would give 20 out of 10. It was super cool!
