It does not state on line this room is not part of the main house and that we would have a mini lock to open the sliding door. The greeting was not warm another couple arrived at the same time and she would only let one of us in at a time. Breakfast same quiche 2 days in a row. Cutting danish in half and serving juice in mini Dixie cups. The grounds have not been kept up. Did not feel safe in the room. We have stayed at another B&B in Ferndale and had a wonderful experience. Not happy! Gazebo falling apart. I have pictures more than happy to share.

Just lovely

Such a lovely home. Paula gave a tour of the home showing us rooms we could use at our convenience. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The only negative would be if you had a lot of luggage, climbing the steps to the bedrooms might be a little challenging.

Bed & Breakfast Property in Ferndale. Property is a restored mansion converted to a B&B. Generally in good condition; our room was old but worked well. Breakfasts are a treat and should not be missed. Ferndale is an older Victorian town with many buildings restored to their original architecture. The property is well located for walking with restaurants, shopping, and old-town spirit. Overall good experience.

This was my second time here and everything was excellent. It’s a lovely property. The breakfast was small but definitely adequate. The only tiny issue in my room was the difficulty in getting the shower just right. But overall, perfect and not too outrageously expensive.
