Travel guide reviews

"Attention to detail and a multitude of amenities make this one of the finest bed and breakfasts we've encountered. Resembling a small castle, the main house sits on a landscaped bluff above the sparkling waters of Puget Sound. . . The second-story Penthouse Suite has enough space to live in and enough enchantment to make you never want to leave. . . the other four rooms are amazing in their own right. Separate from the main house, the spacious Honeymoon Cabin and Beach House are actually best suited for families or couples traveling together. We especially like the Honeymoon Cabin, which has been done up in country-style furnishings and features a deck overlooking Puget Sound. Nothing here will disappoint, including the gourmet breakfasts."

"Truly special, elegant retreat has a waterfront setting, exceptional hosts, private-park-style grounds, and a building with a sense of permanence overlaid with the contemporary and the eclectic. Glass-walled, stone-floored conservatory makes a delightful breakfast spot. Each room is loaded with character, belying the home's short life as a bed and breakfast. While the Tower and Penthouse are the most "over the top" guest rooms, each is special: Sunrise has an exceptional view, Library is charming and cozy (with private sauna and Jacuzzi in its detached bath), and Gold's, with its antiques and view, would be the top suite at most inns."
