An authentic logging-camp style cookhouse which still survives, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner family style at long tables with checkered tablecloths. No menu to order from, you just eat what they are serving for that meal, but you won't leave hungry! 10% discount for seniors. This has been a Humboldt County tradition for many years.

The little Victorian village of Ferndale is a storybook village that takes you back to small-town USA of 60 or 70 years ago. It has attracted its share of fame because Hollywood recognized how photogenic it is. Several big-budget motion pictures have been filmed in Ferndale through the years. Now it is a place to have a nice lunch, or a coffee, meander through some art galleries, a blacksmith shop, take in a play at the Ferndale Theater, or go to the Humboldt County Fair, which makes its home in Ferndale every August.
