Getaway

Loved our stay. The Library is so cozy and comfortable. We did a lot of exploring of the surrounding area while we were there and it was so nice to come back to this little retreat to relax after a long day. It’s also just a short pleasant walk into town and we loved walking around the cemetery and seeing the view of Ferndale from up on the hill.

Always happy to be in The Library

I have lost track of how many times we have stayed at Bluff House Library Suite over the years. The property is comfortable, Sylvia and Sharon are friendly and helpful hosts, and we do so enjoy Ferndale's Victorian and agricultural ambiance. And of course, there are the books! What a unique vacation experience. Much recommended.

This was our second time staying here. It is a very peaceful area and beautiful setting in the country; a nice respite from the city, and appreciated after a long drive. The room was perfect and we enjoyed looking at some of the 3,000 books in The Library!

Peaceful, bucolic setting!

Our second time staying at this property. It's delightful! Small town peacefulness, with hiking and a gorgeous beach in your backyard. Property doesn't have a TV which should be a standard amenity in most rentals. Also, beach towels or chairs would be a nice addition since there's a gorgeous, unspoiled beach a couple miles down a quiet farm road. The suggestions above do not dim my HIGHEST recommendation for this lovely, well-maintained property.

Kinetic Sculpture Race Holiday

The Library is in a beautiful, bucolic setting on the outskirts of Ferndale. We enjoyed being in the dairy district, with cows munching the pasture grass right outside the kitchen window. The high ceilings, the 3,000 books, the abundant daylight, and the quiet of the location "outside" of town added to the delightful stay we enjoyed.

The Library is unique & special

We loved our stay in the library! Browsing the wide variety of books was quite fun. We love being a little bit out of town and walking in to the sweet town of Ferndale. Our second stay at this property, but first at the library. Our go to place now when coming to Ferndale.

Always happy to be back

There is no place like the Library Suite at Bluff House! We have been coming back twice a year for the last several years. We love the rural atmosphere; the friendliness of Ferndale; the closeness to the redwoods, Lost Coast, Old Town Eureka, and the lovely back roads of Humboldt County; and, of course, the unique book-lined space with its soaring windows and walls of books. Sharon and Sylvia are thoughtful hosts. We will keep coming back for as long as we can.

Quiet Library on the edge of town

The Library is a quiet studio on the outskirts of town. We had a great stay. We cooked a few meals in the sparse but adequate kitchenette. The book collection is amazing. We were close enough to bebop into town in about a minute but had deer and turkeys wandering outside our front door. If you're a early riser there are big windows aplenty to let in the morning light. Our teenager stayed with us and had a roomy futon that he slept comfortably on. He was NOT as excited about the bright morning sun.

Nice little place

Our 7 years old grandson really enjoyed the ping pong table and fooz ball table. It was very quiet, other than the wild turkeys in the morning, lol. There wasn't a TV which is disclosed on the listing but I overlooked it. One of the rituals we have with our grandson is a family movie before bedtime so we ended up buying a small TV and brought our ROKU so it worked out.

A favorite spot

I've honestly lost track of the number of times my wife and I have stayed in the Library Suite at Bluff House--four or five, I think. We always come back because we love Ferndale and the accommodations are absolutely unique: the soaring ceilings, tall windows, and walls of books. Last year, there were heifers in the meadow below the kitchen window. This year, the yard was regularly visited by eight or ten wild turkeys. The place is always spotless, and Sharon and Sylvia have been thoughtful hosts over the years. Close to the redwoods, the coast, and Ferndale's Victorian downtown. We will be back.

Best Retreat Space Ever

This space is quiet and private. It is great for a getaway on your own or to reconnect with someone special. The fire pit is a great element in the evenings, the space is comfortable and inviting, and the kitchen allows for you to prep good food at home if you don't want to eat in Ferndale. My partner and I have returned a handful of times. We plan to stay at the Library again.

Always enjoyable!

This is our third stay in Library Suite at Bluff house, and we will be back as soon as we can. Sylvia and Sharon are thoughtful owners, and the place is always immaculate. Soaring windows fill this book-filled building with light. This trip, the meadows outside the windows featured flocks of wild turkeys and young deer. And so close to downtown Ferndale. A delightful place to stay.

Great little place, but feels bigger then it is with very high ceilings and lots of natural light!

We really enjoyed the Library House. Cozy, homey, and great location within easy walk to downtown and Russ Park. It was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Loved all the books!

Perfect for people who love the outdoors. And books!

It was the perfect little house for a quiet couple days after dropping my child off at nearby Humboldt State. Very peaceful and so much fun animal life! There were a dozen wild turkeys in the yard, with sheep and cows in the neighboring properties. The pathway from the property to the historic downtown was adorable, but wear hiking shoes and long pants.. I even sampled some wild blackberries along the way. The owners left detailed instructions and the house was clean and well stocked. The only warning I need to give is that if you are NOT a morning person, the bright morning light pouring in the two story windows might be a problem.

Charming Local Spot

This suite is just minutes from the Main Street of Ferndale and close to Eureka. It’s a small house off a large farm with cows in view of the windows. Note that there is a game room adjacent to the suite and no television is available. It’s clean and the hosts are easy to communicate to. It was a nice place to lay our heads before our trek on the Lost Coast trail.

great place, comfortable with that farmstead feel. You get a birdseye view of Ferndale from here. Highly recommend. Nice that one of the cabins allows dogs, nice fenced in areas. Trails right next to the property, just a few miles to the beach.
