Lilac Victorian Downstairs

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy a stay in historic Old Town at this downstairs apartment of the Lilac Victorian home. Located just a block from Humboldt Bay, you'll also have numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment options, thanks to the fact the center of Old Town is only blocks away. On the subject of being a block or two away, don't miss the incredible Carson Mansion, one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Eureka is about 10 miles from Arcata and Cal Poly Humboldt, 20 miles from the Victorian village of Ferndale, and 47 miles south of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, giving you a plethora of options for family-friendly activities.

Inside your home away from home, the well-equipped, full kitchen features a completely renovated interior from floor to ceiling, while the formal living room doubles as a second bedroom with a comfortable memory foam sofabed. There’s also a formal dining area and a breakfast island for meals or game nights. Immerse yourself in the elegant decor and prepare for a vacation you'll always remember!

To accommodate groups of up to 10 guests, consider booking the entire home consisting of this rental, along with Lilac Victorian Upstairs, as Lilac Victorian.

Bright and Beautiful!

The Lilac Victorian was everything we hoped it would be! Beautifully remodeled, this rental has the classic design elements of a Victorian home, yet includes the conveniences offered by modern updates. It is spacious and full of light, and is the perfect place to come home to after exploring the local state and national parks.One caveat: if there are tenants in the upper floor of the home, you may hear footsteps. We had second floor neighbors who were courteous, but kept much later hours than we did. While this was not a game changer for us, it is something to keep in mind. Regardless, we recommend the Lilac Victorian as a wonderful place to stay!

Beautiful restored Victorian

Spacious kitchen- thoughtfully equipped. Comfortable dining and living room. Bedroom had plenty of drawer and armoire space for our clothes and belongings. 1-1/2 baths w plenty of towels and paper products. Appreciate the complimentary coffee and cleaning products! This home is at a great location to access the waterfront trail and Old Town shops and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!

Walk down memory lane

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean. Loved the mix of old and new furnishings. Charmed by the reading nook. Only recommendation would be to improve the night stand and related electrical access to accommodate C-pap machine. Easy walk to old town and just one block away from the beautiful Carson mansion. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting the Victorian experience within walking distance to old town.

Beautiful space and location

Perfectly pleasant area for walking and viewing local architecture as well and close to shops and dining. We enjoyed the kitchen island space especially and easily played cards at the dining table in the next room. The bed and living room pull out were both very comfortable.

Lilac House is charming.

Lilac House reminded us of a house we lived in during college. Rather what our college rental might have been if we had had the money and imagination to “fix it up.” We didn’t want our weekend stay to end. It was relaxing and just what we wanted: great location; clean, well- appointed rooms; delightful kitchen with everything we could possibly have needed. We want to return and bring family members….maybe rent the entire house for the whole gang, not just the ground floor.

Old Town Gem

This cute little Victorian is right at the end of the street a block from the Carson mansion, which is awesome. And also only a few blocks from the old town area with all the shops and restaurants. Great location. Everything we needed. Only problem was the Internet was slow- but not a dealbreaker for us.

Better location than suggested

The house is immaculate with every convenience. It is large and airy and very comfortable with the pictures very accurate. Location to old town and the waterfront was so much better than we realised. Your are virtually waterfront and it’s only 2 mins to Carson house one way and lovely bars and restaurants, and the boat, the other. It is managed by a company which feels less personal, they didn’t respond with any suggested things to do as an example, but would recommend based on the quality of the property and the location. Groceries are about a 5 - 10 minute drive but choice of great bars and restaurants walking distance. Really easy access back onto main roads so great location to base yourself to explore the surrounding area. Thanks for lovely stay

Short stay

The house was lovely, comfortable and clean. Only issue was the heat was off and it took a couple of hours to warm up. We texted the manager and they responded immediately, offering to bring a second space heater. We went out to dinner and when we got back it was fine.

Our Home for a Week

From the Victorian elegance of each room to the beauty of the location, we were very impressed with our stay. The kitchen became a gathering for visiting friends, and Eureka family want all their incoming visitors to stay there. Only one evening was the children playing upstairs unbearable, and the bathtub drained slowly. Oh well! The kitchen had all the service, we could relax with television at night and there was plenty of room for this tall family. Yes, we truly felt at home.
