Here's what Trippy members say about the Gingerbread Mansion:
"I can't advise much as when I went I was visiting friends in Eureka. They chose to take me to Prairie Creek Redwood State Park which was was nice, but I had to wade up it as it was early in the year My pics on Flickr. However they put planks to go along it in summer as seen here I mention it because my friends are locals and that was their choice, so I'm guessing they thought it was better. Didn't stay in any hotels myself but had a quick look and this (View Crest Lodge) looks like it might be good for you, it's really close to the redwoods park and has family cottages, though it also looks like two children may need to share. :" See More
