Well known as one of northern California's most photographed inns, the Gingerbread Mansion Inn is a spectacular example of Victorian splendor, both inside and out. The exterior boasts spindlework, turrets and gables, as well as a formal English garden. The inn offers four parlors and eleven romantic guest rooms, all decorated with antiques. Guests are pampered with luxuriously appointed baths (some with his-and-her clawfoot tubs and/or fireplaces), bathrobes, turndown service, morning coffee and a delicious full breakfast. Our grandest guest room, the Empire Suite, offers all of this and more: King-size bed, a large bathing area with a marble and glass shower and clawfooted tub in front of a fireplace; a sitting area with fireplace and dining area (for breakfast served in room) complete the other side of the suite. We consider Empire Suite to be Northern California's most opulent room!
