... or a fun filled family vacation ... the Shaw House Inn accommodates it all. The Shaw House Inn in the Victorian Village of Ferndale, California is central to all the Northcoast has to offer. The Redwood National and State Parks - Avenue of the Giants - the glorious Lost Coast - all are within minutes of us. We also have our own stretch of isolated coastline, Centerville Beach, which is as close as a bike ride away.

Our frontier Inn, built in the gold rush era of 1854, was a labor of love dedicated to a cherished fiancée. It was the Shaw family home for more than 100 years and opened briefly as an Inn in 1860. It has always been a place of gracious surroundings and hospitality. Redwood Parks, beach parks, hiking trails, kayaking, birding, shopping - all around us. We have one acre of lushly planted grounds remaining of the original 160 homesteaded acres. Our grounds are dense with mature redwoods, maple, cedar, cypress and walnut. Our apple and cherry plum trees are original plantings as well as a few of our roses. It is a park and sanctuary you can share with our birds, deer and butterflies. We invite you to visit our Inn and garden.

Your comfort is assured in eight relaxing guest rooms, each with a private bath and a unique collection of antiques. Three rooms feature private balconies, perfect for watching the sun rise or set. Four rooms are especially suited to solitude with the added privacy of their own separate entrances. A visit to our three beautifully decorated parlors offers a quiet place to meet and relax. We provide all those little extras that make your stay even more enjoyable. Our guests enjoy a comfortable night's rest on Serta perfect sleeper mattresses with Memory foam toppers. Our Inn offers a choice of Light Breakfast or our delicious regular breakfast in the dining room. We serve a full gourmet breakfast, using fresh fresh ingredients. We buy organic free range eggs, local dairy products, local berries, apples and vegetables. We bake scones, muffins and cookies every day. Our local products may go into a quiche, frittata, croissant bread pudding or simply Parmesan scrambled eggs with fresh basil. The breakfast table is always an enjoyable and "full" experience. Light breakfast's still get to sample our cooking with a fresh baked scone to go with their freshly ground, locally roasted Gold Rush organic coffee and juice. At afternoon tea, you may choose from over twenty varieties of Gypsy and Republic of Tea as well as wine and local cheeses. Please see our complete list of amenities. There is a special quality at the Shaw House Inn, unlike that found at any other Ferndale inn. Come and experience what it is that is making us a favorite vacation destination.
