I had the unfortunate experience of going to a retirement party at Heavenly Rooted Estate several…read moreweeks ago. The parking was atrocious. I had to park on a dusty hillside and got stuck (but didn't realize it until after dark!). someone with a 4 wheel drive truck pulled me out, but my car was filthy and covered with dirt and weeds. Other cars were stuck too. The party was loud and crowded and there weren't enough bathrooms for everyone. The bathrooms smelled like urine. The music was way too loud, so loud in fact, that the sheriff showed up. After the sheriff left, the music was turned up even more which made me very uncomfortable. I couldn't even talk to anyone because of the volume. I do not recommend this place for parties. It was poorly planned, very unprofessional, with no respect for our hard working police. Do not book a party here. Do not go to a party here! It was a complete disaster!

3 stars...... 2.5 isn't an option…read more Overall experience: It ended up being an acceptable time here. There are positives and some negatives that I will explain. Main concerns: * Overpriced for overall stay / experience * Unpleasant, extremely outdated decor; hard to ignore Positives: * Beautiful ocean view * Nice garden * Close to trailheads * Communal fridge filled with cold drinks; breakfast (I know it's a B&B but for this price, in-room coffee would've been nice.) * Very clean rooms * Hosts were kind, pleasant, informative Negatives: * Decor: The first impression was alarming at best. Online photos do leave you with the impression that the decor is dated but it is overwhelming to actually see once there. I had to walk back to the car and process whether I could actually stay here. After looking up availability of neighboring lodging and seeing no options (and considering the loss of money already spent here...), we decided to go inside. Instead of walking in the door, you have to use the old, outdated intercom where you're asked if you have a reservation. After being let in, we were still experiencing a lot of feelings ("creepy" is the word we kept repeating to each other and "Grandma's estate sale".). While the host was polite and informative, the environment / decor was so outdated, it was hard to get past or ignore. I spent half the day working to force myself to not feel uncomfortable here; I should feel good about the stay - not spend considerable vacation time talking myself into not feeling grossed out by it. * Cost of stay: Considering this was the most expensive option in the area, I expected more / better. Besides the overall decor, our bath towels had bleach stains on them. And be sure to bring your own bath supplies. The ones provided that are boasted about on the website.....looks like they bought Dollar store products, stuck old-fashioned-looking labels on and have refilled over and over. I did not feel comfortable using them at all. Summary: * Nice hosts. Great view. That's it. * Would I stay again or recommend to others: Hard no. You think it's obvious to want an ocean view but I'd easily pass on the view for a more comfortable place to stay. We actually left a day early. Could be good if recommendations here and in other reviews are taken and implemented. Relying solely on "the view" isn't cutting it.

They have all the sodas you can imagine in the fridge along with Coffee, fresh fruit and homemade baked goods all day. I almost forgot: Roger makes one hell of a cooked egg breakfast every morning. Make sure not to miss it. The rooms are large and spacious with fantastic ocean views. It can't get any better than this. I personally worked out every morning (we stayed 3 nights) in their beautiful backyard overlooking the Pacific ocean. The air was so clean and refreshing. I loved every minute of my stay at this Inn. We will certainly be back sometimes soon.

They were also very nice and kind to our son who just wants to climb stairs and get into everything.

Overall if you're looking for a relaxing place to stay or an insanely beautiful wedding The Lost Whale B&B is a very special and solid choice.

Our orca whale room was small, but will organize for a family of four. The bathroom had mold on the corners of the ceiling and some of us suffer from asthma, so that wasn't too great. We tried having the sliding door open as much as we could during the day and close during the chilly night. The bathroom has no windows. On the wedding day, we had a breakfast buffet set up downstairs for the guest in nearby close family members. We were already having our meal when the bride and the house manager came towards us asking if my daughter had eaten the waffles. Gladly she was eating the sausages first. The house manager added almond flour on the waffles. She denied she was not aware of any food allergies when the bride responded back that she gave them the food survey. The survey had a question about food allergies and we added tree nuts a two months before the wedding. The house manager did not seem apologetic at all, this is the reason why we decided to review this place. Beware if you have family or friends with food allergies especially during events for this location.

I have been coming to Redwood acres for over 50 years, ever since our family moved to town in 1974…read more They keep up the grounds very very well. As for events, You name the event, I've probably been to it. Auto racing, the circus, I saw the lippizaner stallions here the Sunday flea market. The annual Redwood Acres Fair, (it's a small fair that runs for about a week, but it's always fun.). And one of the funniest shows I ever saw here, was called "extreme midget wrestling." I recently attended one of their summertime monthly events, called "acres of eats." a good sized selection of food trucks/trailers, entertainment, activities for the kids, etc. It was a wide selection of food. I had. A stew and an empanada from a Colombian food trailer. It was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. If you have a chance to go to this event, or anything else else at Redwood acres, it's worth it. I hope Redwood acres lasts for a long time coming. It's a wonderful asset to Eureka.

Redwood Acres has a series of buildings which accommodates to various needs…read more I have been able to attend the Humboldt Roller Derby, Healthy Humboldt aka Festejando Nuestra Salud (both as a participant and a volunteer, assisting a Doctor give shots to low income families), volunteered with Elders Inner Tribal Dinner (where yummy Wiyot Tacos are sold) & have came here on a field trip with a school to look at heavy machinery (bulldozers etc.) laid out inside where cars usually park while people are having wood cutting competitions and animal demonstrations are being held next door to the brewery. Additionally, the event (forgot the name) allowed the students to go on a hay ride and sit inside of a parked helicopter where race cars /monster trucks arena is usually held. Overall, it is a nice place to experience large events to small events like the county covid testing area.

Let me just start off by saying this is a BEAUTIFUL venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding…read morereception here. Everything turned out beautiful, it was a fun space, lots of parking, and super affordable. My wedding was straight out of a fairytale...except the hall manager. Our whole experience trying to rent this venue was a bit difficult. The hall manager we worked with was extremely scattered and stand-offish. Unfortunately, I wish I would have seen these as red flags. After a magical night, we returned the next morning with a crew of 20 to help us clean the facility. We took all of our trash to the dump and left the facility looking better than it did when we arrived. We did leave something there accidentally, called the hall manager and arranged to meet her there to pick it up. When we arrived (exhausted from cleaning all morning and returning rentals all day), the manager proceeded to accuse us of breaking two carts (both of which my caterer notified me were broken before our rental of the space), being "thoughtless and disrespectful" and overall "terrible people". She then proceeded to yell at us for moving the stage lights (something we were unaware were separate rentals and did not come with the facility rental), not sweeping the bathrooms because there was two quarter-sized scraps of clean toilet paper near the ground (which we did sweep every room before leaving!). Oh, and the piano is apparently supposed to stay on top of an ill-fitting scooter (a serious liability) which in the hustle and bustle, our group of guys took it off the scooter, thinking that was the safe and appropriate thing to do. Anyway- long story short, she continued to complain about how she doesn't get paid for this job, how we ruined her day, and how we were going to "pay" for all of this (we did not get our $300 security deposit back, which is fine) The security deposit is supposed to cover things like that, so it really was inappropriate to threaten us and make us feel terrible, when the security deposit is meant for this exact reason. So, I would say just proceed with caution when renting this venue. If you can deal with a demeaning and scattered hall manager, then go for it. It really is a beautiful venue.

The rates they charge for events are very reasonable. Reaching someone from their office is always fairly easy and they get back to me very quickly, whether I'm using email or phone. I book the Wharfinger for a winter dance at the end of each January. Staff provides me with a layout of their venue along with a list of the furniture items they have available for my use. I then create a layout design using their template explaining what tables and chairs I would like to utilize and where I would like them placed. I usually take a group of students with me to decorate the venue about 5 hours or so before our event is set to begin. Staff always has my requested layout design ready to go, allowing me to just show up and decorate. I opt to pay a bit extra for use of the kitchen facility. I put all drinks and perishable items in their industrial refrigerators, giving them plenty of time to cool before the event, alleviating the need for me to deal with ice. One less thing to do while chaperoning! There are small hooks around the ceiling trim of the building, which makes it very easy to string up lights. We are allowed to tape items to the walls as long as we use painter's tape, and we are also able to string up lights around the patio rails of their back deck. This allows us to create an ambient atmosphere behind the venue overlooking the water. Students often enjoy taking breaks from dancing and hanging out on this patio area to cool off. Staff on hand during events are always incredibly helpful, and assist me in anything I need. Explanations are very thorough when I'm signing off on forms at the end of the event, and they make it very clear what is expected of me during cleanup in order to get our security deposit back after the event. Staff has also been happy to let me borrow a ladder or an extension cord if I needed one, and it's wonderful to have employees on hand in case I have any questions or needs that arise. This is a hassle free venue that I will continue to use year after year.
