This hotel was a one of a kind experience from the start. The owner, Doug, makes you feel welcome even as you contact him over the phone to make the reservation. The Victorian Mansion was even more beautiful than we expected.The decor amazing in all its detail and done in very good taste. Doug's wife Lily was warm and interesting... More

Enriching our guest's stay is our most important objective. Our Historic Victorian Mansion is NOT for everyone - but for those who value and appreciate a small unique lodging experience, this may be a place for the weary traveler to 'de-compress' from a long drive. The rich and colourful decor of the Victorian 1890's interiors help lift the spirits and... More

A wonderfully decorated home! Very nice innkeepers. No breakfast, but we went to Cafe Marina, and had a great meal. Our only gripe was the louvered door on the "private" bathroom had had NO privacy, it was our own bath, in our room, but a solid door would have been nicer. There was also no TV, if that is a...

We are delighted to have helped enrichen our guests lodging experience. Our historic 1878 Inn has many unique features that are seldom found in today’s modern motels / hotels. And too ofcourse, there are some short-comings. As the reviewer mentioned, our upstairs bedrooms have no televisions. However in one of our three down-stairs parlors we do have a 32” viewing... More

My husband researched locales for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, knowing my love of Victorian era decor, of the coast, and our interest in exploring the Redwoods together.

We stayed at Abigail's for two nights on a birthday/vacation trip to northern California October 8-9. We only wish we could have had a whole week to explore the premises and surrounding area. Abigail's is a treasure, located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our hosts, Lily and Doug, were extremely interesting and informative. We were treated more as friends than... More

One of the things that we delight in sharing with our guests, especially those from outside the Northern California Coastal area, is the variety and splendor of the North Coast’s majestic outdoor wonders. Everything from the world-famous Giant Redwood trees, to the spectacular coastline of the Pacific Ocean, to white-water rafting, to horse-back riding on Ocean beaches. Then there is... More

My Husband and I stayed in this B&B for one night only but we had a wonderful time. Owners were very welcoming, always open to have a little chat. The whole mansion is decorated with taste and pride. It is the first time we slept in a real victorian and victorian decorated house. I strongly recommand this place.

It is always a pleasure to expose those who are interested in Victoriana, to a “Class Room” of great interest and fun. Because we follow the 1890’s interior decorating philosophy of “Too much – is not enough”, our Inn’s interiors are filled with an enrichment of art and culture from around the world, circa 1890. It is a visual song... More

Amazing house & decor. You need to allow an hour or two each evening just to enjoy the antiques, art, etc. "Clutter" to the max in a very interesting way. Lots & lots to look at, and plenty of interesting books & magazines too. Allow time to sit & read & look up at the room around you, then move... More

Our reviewer is quiet right in noting that one of our rooms faces the street and that it can be an occasional issue for a light sleeper. If this is an issue for the traveler we hope that it is mentioned at time of reservation so that we can make a more suitable recommendation, either another of our rooms or... More

Beautiful house with a surplus of antiques in pretty Eureka. Host and hostess are very kind and have taken great pains to make the home as Victorian as possible. We stayed two nights, which wasn't enough. Depending on your budget/timeline/interests, I would stay longer next time. Very nice and relaxing space and adorable town. House has lovely garden as well!

Service to our guests begins way before they arrive at our Inn. When making reservations on the phone, we ask about their route in order to provide insight into what they may want to be aware of on their journey, particularly highlights and points of interest ("Avenue of the Giants", for example). At the moment we would alert them to... More

We decide Eureka would be a great place to stay for a night on a long road trip before heading south down to Yosemite for a few days. The hotels and motels in the area seemed like boring choices so when Abigail's popped up here and had great reviews we jumped on the opportunity. After camping for a few days,... More

And too, knowing our area intimately, we work especially hard at providing our guests with a highly focused selection of places to visit in our area, based on their interests.... More

This place was amazing, history stood still in this mansion, thanks to Innkeepers and owners Doug and Lily. The rooms are private and comfortable, there's no breakfast, but they are many options for food in Eureka. They keep menus and brochures for many of the restaurants and attractions in the area.
