Ferndale

Main Street opens onto ranchland and the coast.

Dedicated town story

The Victorian Inn opens straight onto Ferndale’s bakeries, independent shops and historic storefronts. Beyond them, Mattole Road moves through ranchland and hills toward the Pacific. The collaboration holds those two scales together: a town you can cross on foot and a coast that stretches well beyond it.
