Pinc Lady Mansion

The history of the property was fascinating. Staying in the middle of that history was wonderful. I can't praise our excellent host enough. She was a wealth of local history, and gave tremendous recommendations for local food and sites to visit.

I liked the quaintness, and charm , hostess was awesome, very clean

Great experience a great place to be definitely coming back

The innkeeper was very welcoming and explained the history of the house and area. The house has been recently remodeled and is in good shape and very clean. As you should expect from a historic house like this, there are a few extra house rules to preserve it and there are shared bathrooms for the guests, but they were very clean and it wasn't really an issue. The mattress was new and very comfortable, and I appreciated the California King size as I am 6' tall. Overall a pleasant and comfortable stay in a beautiful and historic victorian house.

Unique, interesting property in an often overlooked coastal city.

Jacqueline, the owner, is so wonderful! She spent time giving me a tour of the Pinc Lady, and I learned so much about the town as well. I’m a history nut, and Jacqueline is extremely knowledgeable. It’s obvious she and her son are passionate about preserving and enhancing the property. My room was beautiful and so comfortable with robes, a mini fridge, and big TV. There are three bathrooms, one with a claw foot tub and one with a huge shower. So grateful I was able to stay in this amazing piece of history! Can’t wait to go back.

So wonderful! The owner definitely puts a lot of care into the property and visitors experience.

Beautiful Victorian in capable hands. Jacqueline has an eye for style and grace, her son has the ability to carry them out. I was warmly welcomed and I immediately asked for a historical tour which Jacqueline obliged with passion. Her knowledge of local history and her dining recommendations were spot-on. I felt lucky to be able to chat with her again the following night. Wonderful host. Don’t be put off by the shared bathrooms. There are four guest rooms and three restrooms. Everything inside and outside were immaculate. There were so much to see and enjoy in and around Eureka, but I found myself heading back to The Pinc as soon as I finished my day’s work. It’s a special place.

Great!

Everything and more! Gorgeous building, simply magical!

First, this IS NOT a bed and breakfast. Expedia needs to change the description. It’s a bed and K-cup coffee. Second, most of the rooms share bathrooms unless you want to pay the equivalent of double the room price. If nobody has signed for that you’ll end up sharing two full baths and a half bath between 3-4 rooms. Third, I was surprised to find that Eureka has a problem with vagrants. While this didn’t pose a problem for this location there is potential. Parking is only on the street. Do not leave anything in your car that may be enticing for a break in. That is a city wide problem. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable and check in was easy. In the end the shared bathroom was a non-issue. Just be aware of the house rules… which again are not listed anywhere in Expedia. I would look at their web site directly. Read all the fine print details and be clear on what you’re getting before booking.

Is this stay worth it? Absolutely. Is it your average experience? No, in the best way. The view? Stunning. The bed? Luxurious. The experience? Unforgettable. Now with all that being said, please read the listing carefully- you have to share restroom/shower facilities unless you book additionally for private. No shoes. Check-in time very particular; must have a mobile phone. You are close quarters with other guests, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a more intimate experience. Communicate with the host, and you will have yourself an unforgettable time in the region- anyone who left a bad review were probably expecting a chain hotel experience- when the best thing about the Pinc is it so very human- which was amazing in this automated/corporate world. Walking distance to downtown shops and dining, some homeless about but they move through the area and don't set up camp, but that is hard to avoid in any city in California. If you're thinking about it; you should go for it! Take advantage of a cool opportunity to have a new memory!

Amazing

Absolutely gorgeous historical value and intrigue. Will never see moldings and doors made of solid burl like that anywhere!!

Homeless zombies all around. 20 narrow stairs to the rooms. Shared bathrooms. Not a fan.

Checking in the owner gives you a tour and provides the history of the property and the area around the property. She is an excellent host. The rooms are clean and comfortable. If you like historic mansions this is an opportunity to stay the night on one. The owner is also looking to open a restaurant and I look forward to returning.

The owner was very accommodating and provided a great tour of this architectural gem. I wish we had more time there but we were on a tight schedule. I'd love to go back when the restaurant is open (currently a work in progress).

The property was historic and the bed may have been the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in!

At the start, had to take shoes off regardless of medical condition. Many rules. Lecture on rules from the start. No food or drink in the room. No luggage on bed or any furniture. Only able to use side door to enter and exit. Makes it seem on website as it’s a bed and breakfast when it says “dine” on front page. Shared bathrooms when it never mentions it prior to arrival. Parking was unsafe regardless of one camera simply recording the crime.

Highly recommend! Lovingly restored, beautiful furnishings, across the street from the historic Carson Mansion, sweet family onsite to make sure you're settled in, right near downtown and the harbor.
