A wonderful farmhouse reminded me of my childhood home. Thank you for all the amenities. The town was especially decked out for Halloween. Fall is the best time to visit north coast

We enjoyed our visit to the town of Ferndale. The house felt like home and was in walking distance to everything. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in a fun Victorian town.

Coming from the mountains of Colorado, we did not expect Ferndale to be such a quiet place. Other than the dogs barking once, you don’t hear a thing from this cute house. It was the quietest place we have ever been to. The natural environment must absorb all the sounds. You don’t even wake up to any birds singing. Unbelievable how you could sleep until noon if you forget to set an alarm.
We loved the town, house location and especially the lost coast road. The local beach was also so beautiful watching the seals pop up from the waves to say hi. We are so thankful we did not stay further north by the national park. We want to come back someday and try more restaurants in town.
Only negative on the house is the lack of dishwasher. Adding a small one even in the laundry room would make the home complete.
Thanks for the fun stay. The house had everything we needed!
Picking the wild blackberries everywhere made the trip even better. We needed one more day to make the fresh berry pie. Next time. Cheers.

The cottage is cute, clean and comfortable space for 4 people. It's a very short walk to the restaurants and shops. The owner gave clear instructions on how to access the property, however, the key box was a little tricky to open. We enjoyed our short stay in Ferndale. It's a cute town and the people are super friendly.

The house was clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to the classic looking homes. The kitchen cabinets are functional and met my needs, but they are a bit disappointing for a refurbished house. The bathroom sink faucet is missing the flow nozzle, so water sprays in all directions. The kitchen was reasonably stocked with utensils and dishes. Some redneck parked their truck directly in front of he steps to the house even though there were plenty of open spots along the street. Seemed to have been a statement.

We had a perfect stay. The location - Main st extended- could not be better. The beds were comfortable and house well appointed- reminded us of our Summer house in Maine. We were able to cook a nice dinner here with the cutlery and pans on hand and bbq worked well. We would absolutely come back here.

We visit Ferndale regularly, but this was our first time looking for a rental home. We were specifically looking for something with space for our two boys, ages 7 and 10, that was available last minute. This quaint little house has it all. At the quiet end of town (really, though - Ferndale is nothing but quiet!), we loved the ability to walk everywhere yet still be tucked away from it all. Adorably decorated and super cozy - staying in has never been so fun! Whether it was trips to the beach, bbq'ing on the back deck or grabbing ice cream down the street, the Francis Creek Retreat is the place to call home in Ferndale. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need and even those things you may have forgot to pack. The beds were comfy and hard to get out of in the morning, and we loved the regular evening visits of deer. We will be back :)

Delightful Ferndale Getaway
This place was even better than the pictures. The beds were comfy, the house was warm and cozy. I felt like I was at home, The Leonard’s stock this house with everything you need aside from groceries (even some butter and other basics.) We will definitely stay here again when we visit Ferndale, one of our favorite towns on the coast. Thank you for everything!

Kathleen is an extraordinary host, with NO detail left unattended! There is no doubt we will stay with her again next time we are on the Southern Humboldt Coast, such a peaceful and pleasurable experience. Ferndale is just a lovely town as well, Kathleen gives you all the inside track on how best to take it all in.

It was just right...
This home is wonderfully restored from the 1880's and has been kept in the original design and comfort of those days. Close to walking downtown and seeing the sights. Well appointed. A true Goldilock's moment, just right. Highly recommended!
