Historic Ferndale, CA is located in the scenic Redwood Coastal Region of Northern California. Situated just 5 miles from the storied route that winds along the northern California Coastline and through the giant Redwoods, Highway 101, this genuine Victorian hamlet has been dubbed "the best preserved Victorian Village in the United States." Rich in original architecture this thriving community has remained virtually unchanged since the 1800s. The beautifully ornate Victorian “Butterfat Palaces” are a by-product of the prosperous 1800’s dairy industry that was the economic base of Ferndale. Flourishing dairy farms and regional agriculture are still strong components of the Humboldt County economy.

Ferndale is located just South of Eureka, about 4.5 hours North of San Francisco, and two hours South of the Oregon border.

Forbes Magazine (via their blogger John Giuffo) just named Ferndale as one of 11 of America’s Prettiest Places -->
“When you’ve had enough of the laid-back side of The Golden State and want to double down on the Western heritage, a visit to Ferndale might be just what you’re looking for. From its well-preserved Victorian-era main street, to its five-minute drive from California’s magnificent, undeveloped Lost Coast, Ferndale is a surprising trip back in time, with just enough modern quirkiness to make it unique.”
