Ferndale, California
Francis Creek Retreat, built in 1881, is one of the earliest homes in the Historic Victorian Village of Ferndale. Besides being comfortable, clean, and well appointed, our sunny, two bedroom home is steps from Main Street. It is a minute's walk to the town's fantastic restaurants, bars, shops, the park, and even bocce courts! Beautiful and wild Centerville Beach is a scenic five mile drive away. We love this house and are confident you will enjoy your stay in Ferndale.
The space
Francis Creek House is a comfortable and cute two bedroom, one bathroom (shower only) home with a large kitchen, living room, and dining room. The bistro table and propane barbecue on the large back deck are great for enjoying a sunny day and the quiet ambiance of Francis Creek, which runs behind the house. This home is one of the oldest in our town, and we love how you can see the original hand-hewn cedar beams in the kitchen.
The house has wifi throughout and cable television in the living room. The beds and carpet are brand new and the interior of the home is all freshly painted. We have on-demand hot water and forced-air heating. There's a laundry room with a washer and dryer for your use. Enjoy coffee from the Keurig in the morning. The kitchen has pots and pans and a grocery store one block away for breakfast at home, or head out to the local cafes down the street for a hearty Ferndale breakfast.
Francis Creek Retreat is just a few doors down from the largest living lighted Christmas tree, and a cozy place to watch the Ferndale Lighted Tractor Parade, which passes by the front door of the house each December!

A wonderful farmhouse reminded me of my childhood home. Thank you for all the amenities. The town was especially decked out for Halloween. Fall is the best time to visit north coast
Very welcoming. Lots of coffee. Extremely clean
We enjoyed our visit to the town of Ferndale. The house felt like home and was in walking distance to everything. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in a fun Victorian town.
Coming from the mountains of Colorado, we did not expect Ferndale to be such a quiet place. Other than the dogs barking once, you don’t hear a thing from this cute house. It was the quietest place we have ever been to. The natural environment must absorb all the sounds. You don’t even wake up to any birds singing. Unbelievable how you could sleep until noon if you forget to set an alarm. We loved the town, house location and especially the lost coast road. The local beach was also so beautiful watching the seals pop up from the waves to say hi. We are so thankful we did not stay further north by the national park. We want to come back someday and try more restaurants in town. Only negative on the house is the lack of dishwasher. Adding a small one even in the laundry room would make the home complete. Thanks for the fun stay. The house had everything we needed! Picking the wild blackberries everywhere made the trip even better. We needed one more day to make the fresh berry pie. Next time. Cheers.
Everything was really well organized, clean, and easy to find.
Cozy and quiet.
The cottage is cute, clean and comfortable space for 4 people. It's a very short walk to the restaurants and shops. The owner gave clear instructions on how to access the property, however, the key box was a little tricky to open. We enjoyed our short stay in Ferndale. It's a cute town and the people are super friendly.
Excellent house in great location. All amenities were provided and overall exceeded expectations. Only slight negative was size of the bathroom fixtures (all very small).
The house was clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to the classic looking homes. The kitchen cabinets are functional and met my needs, but they are a bit disappointing for a refurbished house. The bathroom sink faucet is missing the flow nozzle, so water sprays in all directions. The kitchen was reasonably stocked with utensils and dishes. Some redneck parked their truck directly in front of he steps to the house even though there were plenty of open spots along the street. Seemed to have been a statement.
We found this cottage to be perfect for us. Warm and comfortable, especially the bed. Quiet and very convenient for a short walk to shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
