The Weller House Inn was built in 1886 and is Fort Bragg's most historic building. It is the city's sole residence on the National Register of Historic Places. When Ted and Eva Kidwell bought the Victorian house in 1996 they took on a complete restoration and renovation project, including reconstruction of the historic water tower, the tallest structure in Fort Bragg. Guests can ascend it for whale watching or just for a commanding view of the ocean and mountains.

Along with the stunning Weller House ballroom and statue-filled English gardens, each room is individually crafted. All have private baths and Victorian appointments. Each of the seven guest rooms offer comfort, privacy, and quiet. Hand painted tiles, marble and fireplaces, beautiful stained glass, fluffy down comforters, and other thoughtful details result in a luxurious escape.

Eva¿s Swedish heritage ensures that each guest will enjoy a most sumptuous breakfast. A typical Weller House breakfast might include fresh squeezed orange juice, breakfast pastries and freshly baked rolls, an elegant quiche or fritatta, fresh fruit salad, and plenty of tea and French roast coffee.
