Abigail's Elegant Victorian Mansion Historic Inn, Eureka, California

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.

All of the rooms are smoke-free and for non-smokers only. Each of the four bedrooms is filled with quiet, unpretentious luxury. Each immaculately clean room has been beautifully restored and tastefully decorated; its original elegance enhanced with the discreet addition of modern conveniences. All have period furnishings, queen-sized beds (with luxurious new Heirloom mattresses), a desk, and a sitting area. Most have views overlooking Eureka, Humboldt Bay, the Samoa Peninsula and in the distance, the Pacific Ocean. All are colored with history and famous personalities.
