Cornelius Daly Inn, Eureka, California

This Northern Redwoods bed and breakfast inn is an exquisite colonial revival mansion built in 1905 by Cornelius Daly for his wife Annie and their five children.

The Inn is located in the historic section of Eureka a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean and a short drive to the majestic Redwoods in Humboldt Redwoods State Park and Redwoods National Park.

The Bed and Breakfast has been lovingly restored to its original elegance with modern conveniences added. Original features include four wood-burning fireplaces and lovely Victorian gardens. The five guest rooms are furnished with queen or twin-sized beds and with turn-of-the-century antiques reflecting the charm of the early 1900s.
