My wife and I loved our stay at Mystic Mountain Farm. Not only were the room and the common areas…read moresuper cozy, but Chuck and Carrie were a big part of what made our stay special. Sharing great breakfast and talking with them in the mornings were a highlight of our stay. After breakfast, we asked to tag along as they fed their various animals. We bonded with their Sika Deer and almost got the Wallaby to trust us. Carrie would make our evenings great with some fresh baked cookies while we watched old movies on VCR by the fire. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed 5 nights at the Mystic Mountain B&B and lets start this review with 5 stars = 6 stars in hospitality all by itself let alone all the other "make yourselves at home" that came with our experience. Carrie & Chuck, our hosts, were delightful from start to finish. They made sure we had everything we needed and then some. From the amazing from scratch breakfasts each morning to the fresh baked plate of goodies each evening our stay was filled with one smile after another. The B&B is only one of the many things they offer with this special 100 acre property. The property also boasts a full service nursery with some of the best looking hanging pots displays I've seen in years and an assortment of farm & exotic animals that will delight kids and adults alike. The views of the surrounding mountains are amazing as are the walks along the river that runs along the property. The peaceful fresh air feeling and soul recharge that comes with this stay is hard to put a price on. Mystic Mountain Farm is only about a 20-25 minute drive to either Arlington or Darrington (sits about halfway between the two on Hwy 530) and I'd highly recommend you consider a stay here to make any visit an extra special one.

A quick update: Someone said they are pricey. I buy plants from everywhere, this nursery has truly fantastic prices. Example: I just purchased 2 mini dwarf apples trees from a nursery not too far away, they were $94 each. Mcaulliffes has espaliered (very expensive way to grow trees) pears for $64 each! Espaliered! Blows my mind. That is the deal of the century.

My daughter and I visited mcauliffes today looking for a pink hydrangea bush. I've always loved…read moreMcAuliffe's because you can tell it's run by someone who truly loves what they do. It feels like it is someone's personal garden that is shared with visitors. Sometimes it can be a little challenging to find things, but it is usually a fun hunt. After spending 20 min searching we finally found a row of lime colored hydrangea and one pink one. My daughter happily picked it up and loaded it in the cart as it was the one thing we came to find and she was so proud she was the one who spotted it. It takes a lot to get my teenaged daughter to spend time with me, but today I was able to bribe her with a stop to Snohomish pie co as this was a belated birthday gift to me and we also needed dessert. We wondered down towards the trees on our way to check out when an employee an up to us asking if we found the pink one standing with other hydrangeas. We confirmed yes and she said it was intended for someone else. I asked to take a pic of the tag and she then picked it up and took it away. We were incredibly shocked and disappointed. Although we had a few other things on our cart after chatting with another team member we chose to not purchase. That interaction ruined our fun mom daughter date. As I was leaving I happened to to see the employee and after sending my daughter to the car with our pup I approached to just share with "Mikayla" how disappointed and upset we were both leaving. I wanted to express that it wasn't just a purchase today, but us spending some of our last years/months together before she is too busy for me with her own life. Mikayla was not empathetic an all and acted very matter of fact in that she had no control over it. The fact is it wasn't sold, wasn't tagged, not on a cart and no one was near them. I asked her name and she was away sharing over her shoulder while rolling her eyes "have a nice day". I was already on the verge of tears and although my intention was not to be mad and just express how it had really dampened our day I felt completely disregarded and chose to seek out a manager. After approaching another team member he let me know he'd grab someone to speak with me. "Mikayla" approached and offered to see when they'd get more in and I shared I could easily look online myself or go to flower world. I was able to talk with Anne who seemed to understand what I was trying to convey. I just needed someone to listen to my perspective five. She also offered that they could keep an eye out, but because I was crying I shared it wouldn't change what happened. It's just a plant at a store, but it wasn't just that for us and someone walking around with a radio disregarding anyone but her list of things she needed to do really broke our hearts. Lesson learned, not all of mccaulifes employee exude the same helpfulness and care as the others.
