This is a great place to stay if you want a base while visiting the Red Wood forests. The rooms are lovely and the bed sheets are the best I have ever experience at any hotel, and believe me, I've stayed in many hundreds over the years! The great thin about this Inn is that it also has a great... More

This is a very unique hotel in an early 1900's Victorian. The styling is great and the hosts are very accommodating and friendly. So, if you like unique styling this is your place. The rooms are spartan however. Carpet and bathrooms do need updating. The area is unique and this is a good location in Eureka. I like the restaurant... More

Everyone said such amazing things about this place, so we paid the really expensive price and stayed two nights. It's in a nice area of Eureka, close to old town and other sites. Frankly, for the $200+ a night price tag I was expecting a fancier room. It was a nice room, but small. The TV was tiny, maybe 18".... More

This beautiful inn is not to be missed! It's peaceful and serene yet incorporates modern luxury. The staff treats you like royalty and the food is incredible! They use fresh, local ingredients. The wine pairings were superb. I highly recommend this gem!! Well worth the drive to the Redwoods.

The food and service were great at this inn. I like the Victorians, and this is a really nice example. We stayed in the suite and it was really nice. We had the tasting menu for dinner, and the food and service was excellent. We had a nice stay.

We arrived for just one night in early April - which is presumably the off-season, because the inn and the whole town of Eureka were delightfully quiet. Without request, Carter House upgraded us to a suite - and what a suite it was. We couldn't believe it when we walked in to a jacuzzi in the bedroom and a beautiful... More

A group of us needed a place to stay while filming a commercial in the redwoods and so we went with highest rated on tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed. It was a cold and dreary week in the redwoods but there was nothing cold about this B&B. Each morning and each night we were welcomed by a roaring fire... More

Simply lovely, elegant and charming. Eureka didn't have much to offer but the hotel offered a nice and relaxing atmosphere. A re-invigorating spot mid-trip. Each night you get a complimentary glass of wine and guests are welcome to sit by the fire, drink their wine and enjoy. The hotel also boosts a small hotel bar, a fantastic restaurant and a... More

Recently stopped for one night at the Carter House after driving by Eureka on a few trips up and down the coast. Other than the Carter House there is not a lot of reason to make Eureka a stop unless timing makes it so. First, the Inn. Very, very good service - both on the phone while booking a day... More
