The property is an awesome apartment unit above the garage. It’s well maintained and well kept. Best of all, it’s one block from downtown Ferndale, within walking distance of everything. Stuart, the host, was very communicative, helping us from booking time until check out. Would recommend!

We totally enjoyed our 3 day stay at Peaceful View, coupled with our visit with family in Ferndale.Our host Stuart communicated with us from the start, was present upon arrival, provided brief information about the property and Ferndale. An annual event (Bargain Lovers Weekend) was in progress, which allowed us to meet many neighbors and shop the area. Our vacation rental exceeded our expectations. We will return and highly recommend Peaceful View!Thank you Chris & Yvonne

Peaceful and wonderful location!

GREAT location, WONDERFUL host (Stuart), loved the local vibe!!! IMO the property was quite spacious and the private hot tub was an added bonus. Yes, the property is next door to Stuart, but privacy was never an issue. Stuart provided a wealth of information re the property, neighborhood, restaurants, attractions and for Memorial Day weekend, Ferndale featured the Kinetic Grand Championship - FUN and crazy people with their theme-oriented, creative power-sculptures that raced down onto Main Street!

Nice stay in beautiful Ferndale

This is a well kept property just a short walk from Main Street in Ferndale. It is attached to a house, but it has a private feel. The hot tub is in a nice private fenced in area. The kitchen is well stocked. There is a large deck with a nice view. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Birthday retreat

This was the most relaxing and "forget your troubles" vacation I've had in a long time. This studio was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The jacuzzi was clean and a great way to relax after sight seeing and hiking the beautiful trails in the majestic redwoods. Best of all was Stuart, our host. He made sure everything was up to snuff and was available when we had questions. Top notch!

Amazing Stay!

I needed a place to stay for a few days while moving my daughter from her dorm in Arcata. This was an ideal location. It was a very easy drive to shopping in Fortuna and Eureka. Two blocks to Ferndale downtown which was super cute! I would suggest the restaurant Tuyas, excellent Mexican food. Some huge pluses staying at this place were: fully stocked kitchen, blow up mattress, easy access parking on site, quiet neighborhood, outside deck seating, shower water pressure was intense, and an Amazing hot tub! I would definitely stay again!

Lovely central Ferndale studio

We were a family group of 4 adults, thinking we were staying in a 1-BR apt. The apartment is more properly characterized as a STUDIO. Very nice, clean, and functional. A short walk to main street, a welcoming, polite, and helpful host, but very cozy for 4 adults. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our stay!

Birthday Celebration

Pros~Clean, Good location. Con~Not enough comfortable seating to unwind, relax or watch tv either inside or out. No coffee, tea or welcome basket. Outdoor flower pots had all dead foliage in them, not very appealing.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar, 2020
Respectfully, I would like to respond to the issues mentioned in this review. As for a "welcome basket", none of the other vacation rentals that I checked with in Ferndale provide one either. When asked about coffee and tea, I offered to provide this for the guests when they asked but they told me it was OK since they brought it with them in their cooler, like most renters do. (there is coffee and tea in the apartment now). As for the chair, there is one very comfortable easy chair in this large Studio apartment and no place to add another. In 9 years of renting out this apartment, I have never had complaints like this. In fact, the guest book is filled with glowing comments and have had many return guests. As for the flower pots on the deck, it is true. When they arrived, the pots were not looking very good, sad to say. I had already scheduled a local person for the days after these guests left to completely redo the pots. You can tell from the pictures on my listing. I should have explained that to the guests and it has been corrected. I know you will enjoy the rental a great deal. It is near Main Street and the private hot tub is enjoyed by many. I am very accommodating to the needs and requests of my guests and I invite you to find out for yourself just how pleasant and relaxing the apartment is. I have had nothing but great reviews on another site and I am sure you will add your own here after your stay at Peaceful View Vacation Rental. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Stuart

About the host

Hosted by Stuart Altschuler

Host profile image

I am “big city” born and raised. I grew up in New York City and, after graduate school, lived 11 years in West Palm Beach, Florida before moving to Los Angeles in 1986. I realized that 21 years in LA was more than enough when I first set foot in Ferndale in October, 2006. One day was all I needed to realize that Ferndale was my new home! I put an offer on a fixer up-er, went back to LA, put my house on the market and told clients and friends that I was gone as soon as the house sold. I was living in Ferndale by the following Memorial Day, May 2007. I restored the 1896 Victorian. I settled into a small town routine and became a part of a new small town “family” as if this has been “home” all my life. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA License #MFC22030). I found a great job at the local community college, College of the Redwoods, where I do crisis intervention counseling, and started a private practice in Ferndale. I love it here and I know you will enjoy your stay in Ferndale. I am here to help make your visit in Ferndale a pleasant one, and I hope you enjoy your stay at Peaceful View Vacation Rental.

What makes this property unique

Nestled between the two redwood forests (The Sequoias to the North and the Coastal Redwoods to the South) is a thriving dairy community, and Northern California's best-kept secret, The Victorian Village of Ferndale. 'A genuine Victorian hamlet' (AP reporter Jennifer Marin), Ferndale has been dubbed 'the best preserved Victorian village in California,' by Los Angeles Times travel editor Jerry Hulse. Sunset magazine confirms that 'you can immerse yourself in Ferndale's Victorian spirit.'
