This colonial revival mansion was built in 1905 as the family home of Cornelius Daly, a prominent Northern California businessman. Today the Daly mansion is a beautifully restored bed and breakfast inn that recaptures the charm and elegance of the early 20th century. Located in the Historical District of Eureka, the Inn is within walking distance of Old Town and our beautiful Victorian Seaport on Humboldt Bay.

Our Town A leisurely stroll through Eureka’s Old Town is a pleasant way to spend a day. Our many antique stores, historical buildings, quaint shops, museums, and varied places to eat offer something for everyone. Eureka's people are among the friendliest, most helpful folks you'll ever meet. Can't find that antiques store you're looking for? Just ask a passerby and you'll get directions, if not an escort! After your day visiting the Old Town area or perhaps taking a self-guided tour of local Victorian homes, it's time to come back to the Inn and enjoy a lovely

cup of tea in our parlor next to a crackingfire in the fireplace during the winter, or in warmer weather at a table on the patio in our beautiful Victorian Garden that has been here since the days of Cornelius Daly and his wife Annie.
