Pebble Beach Place is most definitely the home away from home you wish you always had!!…read more It is a carriage house that is located on a hill right by the hood canal. The scenery is incredible even right out the living room window. I have never been disappointed staying here. The hosts are AMAZING! The fridge is fully stocked with breakfast stuff and the pantry is full. Did I mention the hottub?? Sweet! It may be on the deck of the main house, but we always get privacy when we use it. They think of everything you need here and make you feel extremely welcome. I have been 3 times already (I know, slow on the review) and hope to be back very, very soon!

It has a personalized "I'm going to that OneReallyAwesome Aunt's house" bed & breakfast-style feel; a classy and creative getaway! Bring your girls and stay for a night or more in one of the two sleepover rooms... or come just for a day to experience one of the many craft workshops offered. My first time to the Art Cottage was an all day soldering/jewelry workshop with artist Terri Brush. The warm and bubbly owners, Kim & JoNell, planned a beautiful tomato soup & italian panini lunch for us halfway through the day, adding culinary excellence to the already amazing experience. The only thing that could make an art workshop at the Cottage better is plenty of inspiring snacks-- and they had those covered too! They served a caramel apple dessert, coffee, tea, and other refreshments through the art day, including a tray of leaf-shaped autumnal cookies straight out of the oven. The Cottage's class schedule is expanding and it's eclectic, ranging from soldering, jewelry, and photography workshops to mushroom foraging adventures (!!) and full cooking classes and demonstrations. The Queen Bee Art Cottage is a unique blend of creativity, escape, and enlightenment. Go to play, refresh, and let your artistic side come out... all while feeling posh and pampered!

We spent two days and one night at the cottage participating in the French Flea and had many opportunities to observe Kim and JoNell as the organizers and gracious hosts of a major event. The French Flea is an upscale market offering unusual and sought after items to the public with something for everyone. The vendor selection was great and included local and out of state folks. A big thanks to Mary Corso, Courtyard Antique Mall owner, for inviting me. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail makes every event a positive experience. The caterers served creative and ample portions of tasty food at a very fair price. Loved the watermelon water, it was such a refreshing surprise on our 97 degree day!. Another big bonus was the ample parking provided for the vendors and the public. The cottage is easy to find, less then a mile from the freeway but a tranquil world apart. The cottage was open to the public throughout the event and we heard many oohs and aahs as visitors explored the many nooks, crannies and amenities provided for guests. The cottage is a delightful retreat offering custom bed linens, fluffy guest robes, a great shower in the bathroom and several comfortable areas for lounging, reading or cozy visiting as in our case. And pampering begins as you arrive and continues your entire visit. We were welcomed back to the cottage after a long day with wine, cupcakes and candles. However my favorite treat, was fresh brewed coffee which greeted us in the morning , a great start to another day at the cottage. And you ask...would we participate in the French Flea again...am already signed up and preparing for next years event! Again you ask, would we return to the cottage...a resounding yes, just as soon as our schedules permit. Go and Enjoy!

He offered to help me with my bags into the Zen Cabin. The wood stove warmed the cabin with its sparkling flames. He offered me some tea. I had seen pictures on the website- but lo and behold its real! Could it really be more beautiful in person? Yes it can! Erik has created a place that is warm, tasteful, uplifting, sensual, spiritual, comfortable and comforting. I stayed 3 nights. Zen River Retreat helped me to rest, recover from my hectic life---I was thankful for the quiet, the enchantment, the long soaks in the hot tub by the river. Days gave way to solid nights rest in the cozy comforts of a very nice bed's firm mattress. During my stay I was so happy to find the kitchen so well equipped; I had everything I needed to cook up my nourishments. Less than 2 hours from Seattle! I plan on going back in the every season to enjoy newly the place I love to call "my perfect getaway" to see nature's beauty unfurl along that delightful Lil' Quilcene River Erik likes to call The Zen River~~ He really did create a treasure for us to enjoy!

Forget about the paper thin walls, funky 70's decor and smelly rooms- all of those things are true, but if you want to see for yourself the REAL reason not to ever consider staying at this establishment, just read through some of this Micah character's replies to people on here. Rude, combative, & unwilling to take ownership of the issues repeatedly observed by multiple people. 8/5/2026 update: I find it very interesting that this Micah character, that I have never met in person, bloviates & puffs up his chest saying "I stand by my employees 100%", but my question to him is "well, where were you during all this???". According to this maniac I was causing a big huge scene, yet he just hid behind his desk and didn't involve himself?!? LMFAO. Okay, big guy.... Enjoy your pathetic life in your stinky hotel. Make sure you get the last word in every Yelp review left by paying customers, because that'll show 'em to never come back to your place. Wow....

The granite counter tops and tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom were beautiful and the living area was exceptionally clean. Each bedroom was about the same size and had plenty of room for belongings including a good sized closet as well as a large dresser. There is a view of Liberty Bay from the windows and water access from the property, which we took advantage of as crab season opened the weekend we were there. Wade and Julia, the owners, were very accommodating and Wade even pointed us in the right direction to fill our limit on crab that weekend. The Guesthouse is central to everything we wanted to do in Poulsbo. It's a 3 minute drive to downtown, with great shops, especially Sluy's Bakery (the best doughnuts/pastries ever). It's about a five minute drive to to the local casino, where we enjoyed an evening of relaxing, low-stakes gambling and it's about 15 minutes to the ferry landing when we wanted to enjoy a couple of days sightseeing in Seattle. I can't say enough good things about our experience at the Lemolo Greenhouse Guesthouse. Very highly recommended!

Ever since staying at a B&B in Napa, I ended searching for one in Seattle and stumbled upon Greenlake Guest House. I checked availability, what they offer and so forth and grew too love it and wanted to book our stay with them! Julie our host was so amazing! She was kind and attentive! When we arrived she gave us a tour of the house and showed us to our room! There is a community fridge with water and sodas as well as a Keurig for coffee or tea. There was a welcome basket and bottle of wine that was provided with our stay. Julie told us that we can use their contactless app to put in our breakfast order or utilize the sheet that was provided. She told us that we can pick as little or as much as we wanted. I read great reviews on her homemade granola and definitely had to try it! After breakfast they would give you the sheet to choose breakfast for the next day. Everyday there's something different and everything that we had tried has been delicious! They bake fresh cookies everyday and you have the option to request for them on the menu and if you need your room cleaned. Julie and her staff were all so amazing to us during our stay! We really enjoyed our time here and appreciate their hospitality! Will definitely stay again whenever we visit again!

Comfy outdoor furniture and wine chilled in the wine fridge made it perfect. I enjoyed the many features in the kitchen, from chilled drawers and warming drawers, wine fridge and double ovens. But I wish I would have brought my own knives. The master bedroom was comfy and the 4x8 rain shower was refreshing. What we found extremely disappointing was the lack of a sandy beach. The beach was full of very sharp oyster shells and rocks, some 16 inches high. This was a big concern since our grandkids are 3 and 7. Even with shoes we all have sliced ankles. Thankfully the next door neighbor told us we could use the beach in front of his house which we did. After three vacations around the canal, the grandkids are asking for a lake vacation. Guess grandpa and I will enjoy the canal properties ourselves..... That's a good thing! ;-).
