Although a very cute home, the property does need some attention on both the building and garden. The food in both afternoon happy hour and breakfast Seems like more staff is needed to provide more timely service.

This house is just the cutest thing ever. Only my second B&B I've stayed in but I really enjoyed it. I did feel like we had to be so quiet or else I would wake the spirits in it. Was fun to explore the rooms that weren't booked, especially the Grand Room upstairs. Wow!! The water was hot and plentiful, the ambiance was peaceful, the breakfast was Delicious and not too much which I appreciate. Wish I lived closer because I would stay here just for the fun of it!!

Magical Stay at the Gingerbread Mansion
Our stay here was a delight. The attention to detail given to the property is remarkable and made for a magical stay here. The customer service, cocktail hour and breakfast were equally impressive. Our evening walk through Ferndale was enchanting. This place makes the endorphins flow!!!

You must stay at least 2 nights. Watch Jim Carrey's The Majestic 2002 movie in your room on your computer.
Ask which road straight off main street gets you to fabulous deserted stretch of ocean in 15 minutes.
This place is fabulous. only a couple ghosts.
