It does not state on line this room is not part of the main house and that we would have a mini lock to open the sliding door. The greeting was not warm another couple arrived at the same time and she would only let one of us in at a time. Breakfast same quiche 2 days in a row. Cutting danish in half and serving juice in mini Dixie cups. The grounds have not been kept up. Did not feel safe in the room. We have stayed at another B&B in Ferndale and had a wonderful experience. Not happy! Gazebo falling apart. I have pictures more than happy to share.

Just lovely

Such a lovely home. Paula gave a tour of the home showing us rooms we could use at our convenience. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The only negative would be if you had a lot of luggage, climbing the steps to the bedrooms might be a little challenging.

Bed & Breakfast Property in Ferndale. Property is a restored mansion converted to a B&B. Generally in good condition; our room was old but worked well. Breakfasts are a treat and should not be missed. Ferndale is an older Victorian town with many buildings restored to their original architecture. The property is well located for walking with restaurants, shopping, and old-town spirit. Overall good experience.

This was my second time here and everything was excellent. It’s a lovely property. The breakfast was small but definitely adequate. The only tiny issue in my room was the difficulty in getting the shower just right. But overall, perfect and not too outrageously expensive.

What a lovely place! Charming rooms downstairs, including a parlor to sit and read, three dining areas to take your breakfast, several outdoor areas with tables and chairs, all with great wifi, so we could catch up on emails in this bucolic setting. Our room (the Shaw Room) featured an enormous bathroom with clawfoot tub, separate shower. Just as charming as all get out, we'd be delighted to return.

Our stay at Show House Inn was a great experience. This old house has its charm and coziness inside and outside. Staff is very friendly and cooperative. Nicole was very resourceful about nearby areas to explore in Ferndale. we had a memorable stay here. Couple of suggestions: 1. Increase breakfast items. 2. Provide 220v, 30A charging plug for EV charging overnight
