Abigail's “Elegant Victorian Mansion”

Looking for Giant Redwood trees and rugged California coastlines, while enjoying opulence and grandeur in your lodging?  Well, travel to Eureka, a Northern California Victorian Seaport, and the next northward stop after Mendocino, Ft. Bragg, and the Mendocino Coast. As Capitol of the fabled Redwood Empire, Eureka sits on Humboldt Bay, mid-way between Ferndale and Arcata, California, five hours north of San Francisco.

Located in the heart of California's rugged North Coast and giant Redwood forests, here, a magic blend of spectacular natural beauty, colorful history, Victorian architectural wonders, and the roar of the Pacific Ocean all come together. And too, here is located California's most impressive and authentic "Living-History House-Museum" of the Victorian experience - an 1888 National Historic Landmark - Abigail's "Elegant Victorian Mansion," a Northern California lodging experience.  Sharing some of its luxurious bedrooms, it has also become, for a fortunate few, Eureka's most popular and prestigious lodging accommodation.

Economic Stimulus Rates — $115 to $145

Reflecting the financial meltdown of the American economic system, we have adjusted our room rates downward by $40, to match the financial wreckage of our nation's collapsed economy. While still offering the highest quality in a lodging experience, our rates are now the lowest in the boutique lodging industry.

By absorbing more of our costs, and, more importantly, by omitting our breakfasts, we are now able to offer the discriminate traveler affordable room-rates, without sacrificing any of the quality of this unique lodging experience. You may use either a VISA or a MasterCard to book your room reservation.

Interactive Living-History

For those guests who would like to add "spice" to their lives, the Inn often-times has its 1928 Ford Model A available for a ride in its "Rumble-Seat", with an adventurous driving tour of historic Eureka.
