Pinc Lady Mansion

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.

Amazing

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!

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

We booked a room at this place, but things got complicated around our reservation. Instead of letting us know beforehand, they hit us with extra charges when we arrived. The owner gave us two options: pay the additional fees or cancel with a full refund. We decided to cancel and find somewhere else to stay. Right after we cancelled, the owner refused to give us our money back—even though we had their promise in writing via text messages. It was obvious they never planned to actually refund us. Fair warning: Written confirmations and agreements don't mean much to these people. Learn from our mistake.
