I absolutely loved this place. I wanted to stay in a Victorian home for a writing and hiking retreat. One of the books I'm writing I've set in this area in a Victorian home and this really helped me envision what I set out to do. The home is tastefully decorated with a modern kitchen but with some of the original amazing workmanship preserved. It was so clean. Thank you for that! Also, the washer and dryer is a nice touch and so needed. This space is way roomy for two people. I didn't use the fold out couch but it is in the front sitting room and could be private and quiet for those wanting an extra bed. The proximity to Old Town and restaurants is amazing. I loved walking to the restaurants and going on a self led walking tour of the Victorian architecture through the neighborhoods near Old Town. There are quite a bit of homeless in town and one morning they shouted at each other outside the window which was a little scary. However, I walked everywhere as a solo female traveler and never had problems. I would just suggest keeping items secure while walking like not carrying a wallet in a back pocket The proximity to the Redwood Forest is amazing and I was able to do some awesome hikes. Overall, I couldn't have found a more perfect place that was clean, comfortable and so historic.

We loved this home! Peekaboo views of the water, full kitchen for cooking, and cozy and quiet at night. Great spot to come back to at the end of the day :) we would absolutely book again!

Just like home! Beautifully furnished and supplied, comfy bed. Lots of space to visit with family. We were also very thankful for the washer and dryer too. We'd definitely stay here again!!

Loved staying in this historic Victorian home. Very close to all the things to do in Old Town Eureka.

Great experience, would definitely return to this B&B

Size price and location

From the Victorian elegance of each room to the beauty of the location, we were very impressed with our stay. The kitchen became a gathering for visiting friends, and Eureka family want all their incoming visitors to stay there. Only one evening was the children playing upstairs unbearable, and the bathtub drained slowly. Oh well! The kitchen had all the service, we could relax with television at night and there was plenty of room for this tall family. Yes, we truly felt at home.

Really nice and clean Victorian house.

This cute little Victorian is right at the end of the street a block from the Carson mansion, which is awesome. And also only a few blocks from the old town area with all the shops and restaurants. Great location. Everything we needed. Only problem was the Internet was slow- but not a dealbreaker for us.

Great stay quite comfortable

We loved the location of this home and the ease of coming and going while we were on our little vacation.

The home was impeccable …well furnished, beautiful furnishings, well maintained, spacious, great placement…would highly recommend. We will be back!

Beautiful place near Carson Mansion and the historic old town district - charming! Had a great stay there.

Loved the property. Super clean. Cute. High quality. Plan to return next time we are in town. My children loved it. Walked a few blocks for coffee and bagels in the morning. Lovely.

The house is beautiful! We stayed the the bottom unit. It is welcoming and full of natural light. If you love old homes and appreciate the details of old Victorian homes you will not be disappointed! The house is walkable to all of the historic district. It is a block away from the Carson Mansion!

The house was super nice. We had wonderful time there. It ws very clean and very spacious. The bed was really comfortable. Very close to the beach. And don't miss on the fantastic Barista coffee place nearby!

Overall very positive stay. Only hiccup was never receiving the key box code via text and having to scramble to get that upon arrival. Would highly recommend this rental to others.

We loved our accommodations! The only complaint was slow wifi, and no bath products.

Very charming, well-appointed space! The unit is much larger than expected. Super clean and fresh. Walking distance to downtown shops and boardwalk. It's unfortunate that Eureka is very depressed right now, due to Covid I suspect. Lots of homeless and transients in this area. Store clerks are all zombies.

Great property with outstanding amenities. A place to really relax after spending a day on the beach or hicking the redwoods.

We loved our stay at the Lilac Victorian. Will definitely come back.

The Pros:
- gorgeous interior with original Victorian mouldings and floors
- impeccably clean
- well appointed with thoughtful details throughout
- super comfy bed, bedding and towels
- tons of space
- extremely well stocked kitchen, including basic pantry items, makes it easy to cook and enjoy meals at your home away from home
- full sized laundry (including detergent) in unit was super convenient, especially for longer stays
- two blocks from shops, cafes, restaurants and waterfront
- easy and free parking

The cons:
- spotty wifi. Tried watching Netflix and movie kept buffering, even after resetting the router.
- We stayed in the lower flat, and you can definitely hear the guests on the hardwood floors above if they are heavy walkers and/or boisterous.
- The flat is definitely in the neighborhood you want to be in for Eureka. It is close to all the sites and convenient for everything. However, it should be noted that there is a bit of a homeless problem in Eureka and that is quite visible and present in this neighborhood.

Large space, beautifully remodeled with original charm. Great stocked kitchen had all we needed and more.Bedroom doesn't get very dark due to the outdoor flood lights and thin screens. That's our only con!

Great location, excellent amenities! Would definitely stay here again.

Loved staying at the Lilac Victorian downstairs! Beautiful place exactly like the photos.Spotless! Very easy checkin and so close to downtown it was great for walking to everywhere we wanted. Had everything we needed for cooking on our own/ making coffee. Could see the water from the living room( There is a park community center blocking some part of the view ). Internet had some issues but I think it was an outage for the area, not just this place. Overall excellent experience-Would absolutely stay again!

This is one charming house with a fully stocked kitchen, which we were able to use very comfortably. The home was clean and orderly. Plenty of towels and linens. Thanks for the cozy short vacation!

Awesome place. Very clean, in Old Town. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay. Close to shopping and restaurants.

Loved it. Would not only stay again but would recommend it for anyone visiting Eureka, CA.

This review was submitted before the home was managed by Vacasa. My daughter and I cannot begin to thank you both for opening your beautiful home so others may be gifted with the magic that exists here. We are ever grateful to have spent time here leaving footprints on the sand and sharing wishes with the ocean. We look forward to returning to this secret bit of Heaven on Earth!

This review was submitted before the home was managed by Vacasa. It was great time. Love the location, big home with lots of space. Close to lots of places to check out, such as beaches & Redwood National & State parks.
