We had a wonderful time. Such a cute little town and the house was close to everything. The house was great and super spacious! Would for sure stay again!
Great space! Huge kitchen for helping fam with turkey day prep. Everyone could spread out and relax and also come together with ease. LOVED the fireplace, such a cozy vibe and the hot tub was beautiful and well placed. Dogs were very happy to have the yard
We stayed at the Sweet Retreat for a family wedding in Ferndale. The house was well stocked, beds were comfortable. Location was perfect. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood, easy walking distance to Main Street. Would definitely stay here again!
Absolutely loved our stay! The house was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The large kitchen was especially impressive—well stocked and perfect for cooking and conversation. The location couldn’t be better—just a quick walk to Main Street with shops, restaurants, and more. Highly recommend!
The house is wonderful, fully equipped, comfortable and close to downtown. The only downside was the lack of TP in the bathrooms, we had to go shopping. Would stay again.

Sorry about that Peter , we wanted to let you know, you left the gas turned on. On the stove top, it’s all ok. But scary for housekeeper . Just thought you should know .
Great place to stay while in Ferndale! Home is very tastefully decorated and well equipped. Walking distance to downtown Ferndale, we would definitely stay again. Only negative were the Buda figures.
This property is one of the nicest and best equipped rentals we have ever stayed in. Beds were comfy, fireplace was wonderful and there was planet of wood. Magnificent kitchen with all the stuff you need to cook a great meal.
This was a lovely property. It came with many amenities. The beds are very comfortable, and the location was perfect! We would definitely stay here again.
This house was genuine a delight. It had everything we needed and was located in a charming friendly town. I would thoroughly recommend this house to any family wanting to explore the area.

About the host
Hosted by Toni Collenberg
I was born and raised in Humboldt County, I grew up on a dairy farm and I spent a lot of my childhood in Ferndale , it's always been a very special place for me when this home came up for sale I knew it was meant to be , I live approximately 35 miles away and own a restaurant , that I've owned and operated for over 47 years. I travel a lot so I appreciate a plush clean well kept accommodation. I have brought all this to Ferndales Sweet Retreat by providing top of the line bedding, leather sofas, five flatscreen TVs and a well-maintained hot tub. If you like to cook then you will appreciate having all the tools and equipment and basic condiments that you would possibly need , if you don't want to cook than you are just a short walking distance to some really great local restaurants.!
