We loved our time at the Gingerbread mansion. Oliva was an amazing host. Breakfast prepared each day was some of the best we have had. Snacks provided at tea time each day were also a big perk. The mansion was such a cozy experience. We loved our time spent at the mansion as well as exploring the town of Ferndale. Hiking and exploring the town made our time there very memorable. I fear future B&Bs may be ruined for me as this was my first time experiencing a true B&B experience and any future ones will have a lot to live up to! Highly recommend and thanks again to Olivia!

We always stay here when we come to Ferndale for concerts at The Olde Steeple. It’s only a block away from the concert hall and off the beaten path. Staff is extremely cordial and spends time conversing with guests. Tea time from 4-6 pm with extremely sufficient which includes wines and or champagne with th delicacies. It’s just a delightful place to stay and has become a tradition for us.

We’ve stayed at a competing B&B nearby and the Gingerbread Mansion was far superior. Every detail is meticulously maintained. The staff is helpful and friendly. The daily wine and snacks as well as breakfast are delicious. We will make sure to stay at this property every time we are in the area.

Although a very cute home, the property does need some attention on both the building and garden. The food in both afternoon happy hour and breakfast Seems like more staff is needed to provide more timely service.
