Located on a bluff above Eagle Harbor, there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy the massive expanse of water and sky. A curving set of wood and stone steps lead down to the water where one can barbeque, go kayaking, sit and relax, or walk on the beach. I saw an eagle swoop on some cormorants that were sitting out on a floating dais (they dove and easily escaped him). The view of Mt. Rainier from the beach is unique and if one walks down a ways one can see the Seattle skyline. The place is everything it is advertised to be: the windows overlook Eagle Harbor with the ferries coming and going, the kitchen is well equipped and the stove has gas burners, the bed is very comfortable, the television has more channels than I would ever watch, Wi Fi is free, the bathroom is clean and the showerhead is powerful. The owners were friendly and honored my privacy. Photographers, artists, birdwatchers, couples, small families, kayakers, an individual looking to relax - I could go on - will all find something here. I found true peace and quiet.

I stayed in the Abode four nights last week. I LOVED this place, and in fact I just sent Claes my…read moredates to book it again next year. The view was stunning and I loved watching the ferry go back and forth each day. The weather was beautiful and I was able to sit outside at the cute table and chairs Claes and Jenny have out on the patio. The inside was very clean and cozy and the wood burning stove was awesome! The owners live upstairs but I never heard/saw them, however, they make it very clear in the information they email you that should you need ANYTHING during your stay don't hesitate to just let them know. It was private, quiet and beautiful. For someone who only gets one vacation a year, it was exactly what I needed and as mentioned, I will definitely be back next year!

The cottage consists of one bedroom with a queen size bed, full kitchen, living room with fireplace, hide-a-bed and deck. It is furnished in a comfortable, simple cottage style. Sweeping view of the bay and Olympic mountain range is easily taken in from every window. Perfect for weekend getaways or short term stays in the area. Five minutes to the quaint town of Poulsbo, rich in Scandinavian heritage and filled with shops and restaurants. The communities of Kingston and Bainbridge Island are close by and offer additional shops, restaurants and ferry transportation.

We just returned from a visit at Treehouse Point, completing a bucket list item. To say it was an…read moreoutstanding experience is putting it mildly! It was the highlight of our road trip! When we arrived at Treehouse Point, everybody was so professional and kind! We were given a quick tour of all of the amenities in the lodge and other community areas. Then, we were directed to our tree house, Ananda. Just wow! It was cozy as well as spacious, and it was very well appointed with everything we could possibly need! Even though there were other tree houses around ours, we ALL enjoyed total privacy. A great deal of attention has been made in creating personal experiences while still tending to developing a very unique community. All building materials in our treehouse were the best quality available, and the workmanship is second to none! We walked around the grounds, being respectful of others' privacy. Every tree house was unique and beautiful! We then took the trail down to the Raging River. It was beautiful, but our spring has been unusually dry, and the river a little thirsty. Overnight, a rainstorm came through the area. The sound coming from a refreshed river the next morning was breathtaking! I wanted to wake up so I could experience it all, but instead I slept through it. I guess I slept comfortably! (And I am not young.) The bath houses were beautiful and felt like individual spa rooms. They were supplied with wonderful bath products, and the shower offered a pampering experience. Similarly, special products and amenities were provided in our private unit, including coffee and tea. We were going to wash our few dishes, but no dish soap was found, further demonstrating Treehouse Point's intent to pamper their guests. After waking up in the trees, we prepared our own mugs of coffee, tea, and nibbles. After a peaceful start to the day, we made our way to the lodge for breakfast (feeding the fish along the way). Our own breakfast was absolutely wonderful! The chef and souz chef prepared several wonderful dishes. The selections and quality of preparation were both outstanding! Our visit was so wonderful that we truly didn't want to leave! We made the visit to fulfill a bucket list item, but we are already talking about returning again, this time with friends. I could go on and share more, but I want you to delight in your own experience, just as we had. If you've been considering a visit to Treehouse Point, wait no longer. You will never regret it!

The B&B is down a one-lane dirt road that winds passed a dilapidated barn and a pond that in the spring time is filled with croaking frogs. The B&B is centered around a large house with three suites, and then a separate cabin. Pattie, the owner, is an amazing chef and very chatty -- she's happy to tell you all about the area! The property is lovely with tons of gardens filled with flowers and vegetables. The best part is how, even though you feel like you're tucked away in the wilderness, the Island's best Thai restaurant is only a 5 minute away by car, or 15 minutes by foot.

I had also been feenin' for a weekend trip somewhere I haven't been. As I researched plenty of areas to visit I kept coming back to Bainbridge Island due to the reasonably priced bed and breakfasts they have. I found Holly Lane Gardens on a Bainbridge Island lodging website. From the pictures it seemed like a cute place, was in the woods, and the price was just right. There are two rooms each with a theme, a suite, and a cabin available for stays. There is no minimum night stay unlike so many other places. We arrive at Holly Lane Gardens to a cacophony of animals sounds. There are roosters, chickens, ducks, and even a llama. The house is a spacious wooden structure surrounded by a plush lawn, cheery blossom trees, and a forest in the back. There is a swing to act out your childhood past time. I park and we make our way to the front door. We find numerous Post-Its directing people to their rooms and explaining the owner is either out in the garden or driving the tractor. We enter and to the left is the living room filled with books and a piano. The kitchen is directly in front. We walk down the hall to the right and find our room. I picked the Morracan room based only on its multi-colored bedspread and tried to keep my expectations low. As I entered the room I was blown away. It wasn't huge by any means but it was decorated with an Asian flair and there was burgundy net surrounding the bed. I recognized the brightly colored bedspread. I jumped on the bed and felt like a princess. The bathroom was across the hall and it was a great size and very homey. I was disappointed I didn't meet Patti, the owner, upon our arrival but we left and came back and met the cutest most kindest dog on the planet. We open the door and there is a doe eyed dog looking at us, not barking, obviously knowing we would do no harm. We make our way to the living room to watch some television and here comes the dog, nudging me with its nose to pet it. She gets her fill of admiration and sprawls herself out in the hallway. I later learn her name is Lady. The next morning I meet Patti. She is she cutest nicest little old lady I've met! We have our introductions in the living room as she is preparing breakfast which consisted of egg soufflé, homemade bread, and fruit. At the table we meet the other guests of the B&B and we all make small talk as we consume our breakfast. There is no check-in time according to Patti. I was told we could come anytime. As far as check-out goes, I'm not sure. We left fairly early but I would assume you could leave whenever you want. If you find yourself yearning for a short trip I would suggest going to Bainbridge Island and staying at Holly Lane Gardens. The rates are reasonable, the house is beautiful, the location perfect for rest and relaxation, and Patti is so nice you'll definitely want to stay there again.

Any time we needed to come up and check things out, they welcomed us to visit. The space is beautiful. We had an outdoor wedding, with a gorgeous western view of the Olympic mountains and a reception in the spacious barn. We had no problems fitting our whole wedding (150 guests) while leaving room for a bar and dance floor. The rooms in the B&B are beautiful and spacious. And the breakfast food was amazing. We would absolutely recommend Raspberry Ridge Farm to anyone looking to get married in Kitsap County.

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.
