Definitely would recommend this place for a quiet romantic stay for a couple, a great starting off place to explore Brainbridge and the surrounding area for a single too. The big bath was great after a day of hiking, the place is perfectly located with great views of the bay, close enough to walk into town as well as a few places really nearby on the bay, but far enough off the beaten path to be quiet and relaxing. Big bed, big bathroom, and a local coffee ready at the coffee station just down the stairs from the room. A perfect little getaway stay anytime away from the city, just a quick ferry ride away. Will be returning for sure! Happiest Yelps! Cheers!

We stayed for five days at the end of June and the first weekend of July. The guest quarters had…read morejust been completed and they were immaculate! 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!

A tranquil setting between Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island and just 15 minutes from the Seattle ferry, it is a perfect destination for travelers looking for both comfort and adventure. Strike out on a wide variety of outings-from boutique shopping and fine dining to paddling, kayaking and hiking. Historic downtown Poulsbo is a quaint Scandanavian town and home to Sluy's Bakery, Tizley's Europub, and an active waterfront with seasonal festivals. Historic sights, beautiful port towns, and world-class hiking lie just over the Hood Canal Bridge in Olympic National Park.

It was very hard to rest. We also wouldn't mind if they upgraded or enhanced the interior design a bit. It's a bit sparse in the rooms; for instance, it would be nice if they jazzed up the jacuzzi area inside the rooms that have them, and also jazzed up the hot tub area outside (such a PNW thing!). Pluses - great staff, good breakfast, and ample space to walk your pet outside. Convenient.

Two chairs and large TV nice too. Beds seemed really firm upon initial sit test but ended up sleeping fine and room seemed fairly quiet even having someone next to us. Really enjoyed the warm breakfast offering. That morning it was self-made waffles, sausage links, mini cheese egg omelettes, various breads and tasty muffins, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cold cereal, juice, milk & coffee. Perfect before checking out and starting your day. Cons: the toilet and tub were together ( separate from sink counter) and in tight quarters, toilet too low and too tight to wall making your elbow hitting the toilet paper roll and awkward to use. Had a dog, nice they accept but charged $60 (no dog treats) if weigh 50lbs+!! Odd they put dog guests next to others without. Offer coffee in the breakfast dining area all day but was barely warm both times we went. Ended up just warming in our room microwave. Should offer more TV channels/cable etc. Other wise would still stay again, probably without the dog.

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!

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!

I truly can't say enough wonderful things about TreeHouse Point. Our first stay felt like stepping…read moreinto a storybook. Sleeping in a beautifully crafted treehouse, surrounded by towering evergreens and the peaceful sounds of nature, was pure magic. It's such a cool and unique experience -- cozy, serene, and unlike any traditional hotel stay. One of my favorite memories is making s'mores by the fire and enjoying them beside the running river. We loved it so much that we booked another visit -- but unfortunately, we ran into an unexpected childcare situation that meant we had to cancel. It was incredibly disappointing and honestly very inconvenient. We had been so excited to return, and having to change plans at the last minute was stressful. That's where Abbey Rodriguez truly shined. She was so gracious, kind, and understanding throughout the entire situation. Instead of making us feel like we were causing a problem, she stepped in immediately, handled everything with compassion and professionalism, and made what could have been a frustrating experience feel manageable and supported. Her warmth and willingness to help turned a difficult moment into one that actually deepened our appreciation for TreeHouse Point. Exceptional places are special -- but exceptional people make them unforgettable. Abbey's graciousness and care showed us that TreeHouse Point isn't just magical because of the treehouses and the forest (though those are amazing!) -- it's magical because of the heart behind it. We are so happy with TreeHouse Point and so grateful for the way we were treated. We absolutely plan to visit again soon -- and next time, we can't wait to be back in the trees where the magic began.

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.

A certain someone had a birthday coming up and I decided to go above and beyond to make sure his…read morebirthday weekend was worthwhile. 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.

Next she brought me, then we brought our kids, then I stayed here for 10 days while doing business in Bremerton... it has become our regular digs whenever we are in the PNW (Seattle area anyway). Each member of my family loved it from the first night's stay, and our appreciation deepens every time we go back to it. It is aptly named. Weather permitting, the views from "Bird's Eye View" are wonderful. When the place is socked in with drizzle and grey skies, the views are still wonderful-- Darryl and Jody keep the property garden-lovely in all seasons. It is equally lovely indoors, with a cozy Northwestern vibe that makes it good news to "have to" simply relax around the home. Darryl and Jody genuinely make you feel at home, too. Both are great hosts, open and friendly, yet unobtrusive when you need your space. You'll have a lot of space here too. At least one of the three bedrooms was more spacious than our entire 3-bedroom apartment back in LA, without even including the attached full-size bathroom! The main floor of the house is also available to guests, including the family room with its cheery fireplace and the nap-magnet couch. (I'll let you discover which of the couches is the nap magnet) It is easy to find, but the hill getting up to Kaster from the highway is respectably steep. Call Darryl & Jody before you come, if the weather is bad, and they will advise you-- there is actually another way to get up to the top of that hill, a much less steep way, but it requires some careful directions from your hosts. Your hosts, it must be said, are amazing cooks. The breakfasts here are delicious, wonderful, amazing, generous, and served in a dedicated dining room with linen, crystal glassware, candles and silverware, giving it a very formal and Northwest-elegant feel. (So, think cashmere sweater-vest, not tuxedo-vest). All sorts of happy anecdotes are coming to mind but I don't have the time to regale you with all of them. Suffice to say that you will love this place.
