Review from Henry C.

My wife and I spent four nights here recently. A friend spent her honeymoon here and insisted that we stay here during our trip. I'm glad we did!
Everything about the stay was wonderful. The room was private, comfortable and cozy. The hot water came slowly, but the host explained it to us up front so it was not an unpleasant surprise. The fireplace was a very nice extra.
Each breakfast was very good and enjoyable to eat in the sunny breakfast room. It's also nice that they provide a limited kitchen for the guests, so I was able to save and eat leftovers from our dining out, which helped offset the cost.
All the staff and the other guests were very friendly. After a couple of nights we were happily chatting with the staff and neighbors like friends, giving and getting suggestions on ways to spend our days. It's obvious The Gingerbread has its regular visitors.
They let us see the vacant rooms in the afternoon which was nice and dangerous since it made me want to return and upgrade...
The only negatives I can think of are:
-weak morning coffee. What gives with the watery brew, guys?? Easy fix!
-somewhat thin walls so you can sometimes hear muffled noises of your neighbors.
-the location is about an hour drive from the Redwoods National Park, so keep that in mind when planning your activities.
Overall it was a GREAT experience -- beyond expectation -- and worth every dollar. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the B&B experience. We will definitely come back! -

My fiancé and I went to the Gingerbread Mansion this past weekend and it was quite lovely. The building and garden itself is well kept, quaint and there were so many small attention to details. We had the garden room and had access the garden on the first floor.
Check in was quick and painless thanks to Vince. He was thorough and very friendly. Breakfast was fabulous and again, Vince worked vigorously to get all he guests situated and served.
We overheard a couple complain that they didn't get their own table for breakfast and it ticked us off because they do warn you if there is a full house and if you want your own table, you have to come early. Besides, this is a bed and breakfast and there will be instances where you have to sit with other people (oh my, imagine that!).
The mansion also provides free bikes and kayaks to borrow. We took out the bikes for stroll along Main Street (small downtown) and loved it. The Victorian buildings in town are spectacular. Overall, I had the best time at this place! -

The Gingerbread Mansion has got to be one of the best B&B I've been to. It 's located in the Victorian Village of Ferndale, Ca.. We stayed in the Empire Suite which was just AMAZING! We had the most amazing, delicious breakfast in our suite and an amazing in room massage for two!

My husband and I took an anniversary trip to Ferndale and stayed in the Fountain Room at the Gingerbread Mansion. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! The garden has lots of cozy spots to sit. Robert gave us the lowdown on the different places to eat in town, and lots of fun tidbits about the community. The Gingerbread is located an easy walking distance from Ferndale's shops and restaurants: no need to drive anywhere!

My husband and I stayed there for 2 days over Easter Weekend. The place was very clean and the owner was very friendly and informative. We stayed in the Rose Room. Highly recommend if your going to Ferndale.
