What a lovely place! Charming rooms downstairs, including a parlor to sit and read, three dining areas to take your breakfast, several outdoor areas with tables and chairs, all with great wifi, so we could catch up on emails in this bucolic setting. Our room (the Shaw Room) featured an enormous bathroom with clawfoot tub, separate shower. Just as charming as all get out, we'd be delighted to return.

Our stay at Show House Inn was a great experience. This old house has its charm and coziness inside and outside. Staff is very friendly and cooperative. Nicole was very resourceful about nearby areas to explore in Ferndale. we had a memorable stay here. Couple of suggestions: 1. Increase breakfast items. 2. Provide 220v, 30A charging plug for EV charging overnight

This was an excellent inn. The food was superior. the room was nice. The ambiance was excellent.

Amazing inn in a beautiful location. Super friendly staff made us feel at home and the absolutely terrific breakfast every morning really fueled our site-seeing adventures throughout the days of our stay. Highly recommended!

Nice vintage rooms, tasty breakfast

This house is beautiful, and Paula is a wonderful host. She welcomed us and gave us a tour of the house, showed us all the places we could relax, invited us to enjoy macaroons, tea, coffee, water, sparkling water, fruit in the dining room and to wander the grounds at our leisure. Our room was the Orchard Room which opens on to a small deck with chairs to sit and enjoy the garden, in view of an historic apple tree planted in the 19th century. It has apples on it! Although our room shared a wall with another guest room, we barely heard the guests in that room. So quiet! Breakfast was simple and delicious with perfectly made skillet cornbread to accompany a wonderful Spanish flavored egg dish, fruit, granola, yogurt, juice, tea, coffee, and hot cocoa. There was a large dining table, but also tables in other rooms by windows to look out, and there were tables outside to eat and enjoy the garden. We saw deer in the garden in early evening. It is an easy walk into Victorian Ferndale to browse in shops and admire the Victorian architecture. So glad we stayed here, we want to return as soon as we can.

Loved the charm of the house.

Beautifully maintained historic Inn in the heart of Ferndale. Quality antique furnishings inside. Massive old trees and beautiful gardens. Delicious gourmet breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., French toast was splendid. Friendly chef. Every afternoon the chef prepared a batch of chocolate chip cookies or other tasty snack. Plenty of areas to sit inside the main house. Just a 15 minute drive to the coast and a beach with lots of huge logs to sit on while watching the sunset. A quaint town to stay in while exploring the Avenue of Giants. Negative: our room (Isabella) had an exterior access on the far side of the house from the front door which would not have been convenient if it were raining. I believe most of the other rooms have interior access. The TV in our room was only a couple inches bigger than my laptop screen. We were not able to get it to work either but didn't ask for help and just used our laptop instead. A dog on a nearby property barked steadily ALL night long and kept us awake most of the first night. I'm sure that can't be helped but the second night it didn't bark or was taken inside and our sleep was much better. There was a rocking chair on our porch which would have been lovely to sit in but was so thoroughly covered in spider webs that we couldn't enjoy it.

Overall this place is lovely and the grounds are gorgeous. Small details like the hanging fruit basket in my shower that was to be used for toiletries and the tired looking carpet detracted a little bit from my overall experience. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was great. Would definitely go back.

This was a fantastic Inn in the heart of Ferndale. The host was very friendly, suggested places to visit and the breakfast was excellent. The room was very charming and very clean

This last minute stay in a town we discovered by accident was just lovely! Nice staff, pretty grounds, tasty breakfast— what else do you need!

Highly recommend this Inn. Beautiful location, beautiful grounds and really lovely and welcoming staff. Unfortunately this is an old Victorian building and the water heater broke so we did not have any hot water. The management promptly refunded us $25 for the inconvenience. Thank you. We are looking forward to staying here again. (Ask for the downstairs room if you have problems with stairs. They are steep, authentic Victorian!) Good job, Shaw House Inn!

Propeety was beautiful and bery clean. Staff was awesome.

It was a nice experience . The grounds around the property are well kept. The inside was clean and interesting. People from the property were very nice and helpful. Steeps from town.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food, great location

I liked the fact that it was close to town and that we could walk everywhere. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast and snacks were plentiful and delicious.

Top notch accommodations in a beautiful quiet town. The Shaw House provided exactly what we needed for a beautiful and relaxing vacation. Looking forward to staying here on our next trip.

Very surprised to see how beautiful this house is and how well maintained it is. Owner greets travelers and provides a tour as well as leaving healthy snacks available. Breakfast was delicious, homemade muffins and mini-quiches. Fruit, juice, coffee and tea available. Walking distance to the main downtown area.

This is an awesome property, well appointed and maintained. The hostess was so gracious, make us well totally at home. Definitely a place to visit again in the future.

It was unique and romantic. The room for feminine, pink, and from another time. I took a bath in the massive claw footed tub and it was so relaxing. The bed had so many pillows, that I had more than i needed. The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and hot. I would recommend this place to a couple looking to spend an anniversary together, or celebrate a special event.

The photos online are NOT representing the reality. It was clean but very old and worn in comparison. The check in was good but breakfast and the rest of the staff experience was lacking. Not worth the prices they are charging.

Found the bed to be way to soft and as person with back issue did cause some pain, also getting in and out of deep tub that is slippery with no grab bars was very tricky. But over all liked the Shaw House and manager

Very well kept. Oozes charm. A special experience.

The person that received us was very nice. She took the time to explain everything around the house, and overall a beautiful, peaceful facility. Here are my issues. First, the TV did not work. I tried everything in the instructions with no luck. Breakfast was very limited due to COVID 19. One of the main reasons for our stayed here was due to the great reviews of the breakfast. In my humble opinion, a better breakfast could have been served. Lastly, the room was hot, and it was really nice outside. The window would open, but you had to place a trash can to hold open. Something was definitely wrong with the window.

Just a wonderful location and very nice people (and animals if you include the dear that came through).

A nice old fashioned place to stay. Bacon could have been cooked more.

The house is incredible and the large lot has gorgeous big trees and lovely outdoor space that guests are encouraged to enjoy. The rooms are very pretty and romantic and the breakfasts are delicious. A real Victorian stay in a Victoria town full of history. Definitely worth the trip.

Really amazing! My first B&B experience, and this made me a believer. Really great in every possible way!

Beautiful accomodations, very comfortable, super hostess!

Fantastic house and excellent innkeeper. Delicious breakfast (& cookies!). Totally enjoyed the gorgeous yard & garden. I will be back here!! The various sitting rooms were perfect for reading, or just sitting and looking out the windows reflecting on what life here must have been like when the house was built.

The old-style house was beautiful as were the grounds. The location was within walking distance of "downtown" (it's a small town) where there are several good restaurants and interesting shops. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. Beds were quite comfortable. The house could use some new paint, but that didn't detract from our stay.

Whenever I go to Fortuna I always stay at The Shaw House. Very quaint. Personable and relaxing
