Gorgeous, peaceful, and serene getaway!…read more We recently stayed in the suite above the garage, and it was a wonderful experience. The room is incredibly spacious and well-equipped with a king bed, couch, additional seating, a mini-fridge, and an armoire--the perfect amount of space for two people. The bathroom is equally roomy with a great walk-in shower, and Wi-Fi is available. A few helpful logistical tips for future guests: Accessibility: The entrance is up a beautiful stone stairway to a small patio. There is no elevator, so keep this in mind if you are traveling with heavy luggage. Arrival: Pay close attention to the address signs! The driveway is easily missed and the roads leading in are quite narrow. The Vibe: This is a lovely, no-frills accommodation. Communication is minimal and done strictly via email or phone calls (no texting), and it is cash-only. The owners live on-site and whip up a delicious breakfast every morning. Their fresh-from-the-oven popovers were an absolute highlight--we grabbed a handful to snack on throughout the day, and they were just as good cold! My only minor regret is that I would have loved to explore the beautiful property more, but I wasn't entirely sure which areas were off-limits. Next time, I'll definitely be sure to ask the hosts for a quick property tour. The owners are incredibly accommodating, and this location is well worth the stay. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to future guests!

We booked through email and were confirmed for the private suite which was a large room with a King bed, a couch and beautiful handmade furniture by Dal, one of the hosts. The bathroom has a giant (GIANT) shower. The bed was super comfortable and everything was very clean. We walked to the Sunrise Beach for sunset. The breakfast was better than anything I was imagining. We were served fresh popovers and jam, a stuffed avocado half with salsa and egg on top, and a fresh pot of French press. Their dog, Max, is adorable and entertaining. We are moving to the area and we will be recommending to people visiting to stay here.

The last time I visited this place I had an excellent time with Cecil. He gave us a tour and…read moreeducated us on all the history of the mansion. I just visited the other day with my girlfriend and I must say I I am very, very disappointed! I had already reserved the "carriage suite" a week prior. When I arrived on the day of our reservation, there was nobody in sight to help us or give us any information about our room or any other services. Luckly, I had already been there in the past (2 years ago) and knew where my suite was. The door to the suite was open and I found the key lying on a table as I walked in. As if they didn't even care to great us or check us in. Like Cecil did, years ago. It took 45 minutes to fill the jacuzzi tub due to of lack of water pressure. As it was filling, I noticed long blonde strands of hair all over the tub! I had to drain and clean the tub and then fill it again. It had obviously not been cleaned prior to my arrival. As far as bed and breakfast, it didn't get any better! Our bed was absolutely terrible, the mattress was warped and it least 20 years old! The breakfast? Non existent! Apparently their kitchen was closed due to renovation. I saw the kitchen when I went to check out and it looked fine. No construction, whatsoever, and fully functional. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anybody. I will never go back to this once beautiful getaway ever again!

I stayed 1 night in the Hayloft suite. It was cozy, well-decorated, clean, and stocked with…read morestandard amenities, including a new little flatscreen TV, blu-ray player, and mini-fridge. I slept very soundly and comfortably! It was just what I needed to reset. The owner Bev is a very sweet and hospitable person. She got me situated in the suite very quickly, offered me recommendations of nearby restaurants, and was available by phone if there were any issues (which there were not). The breakfast service is currently not available as they are renovating the main house, but I had a lovely tea and chat in the morning before checkout. Will definitely consider returning if I am in the area!

We stayed at Madrona Meadows for two nights this past weekend and loved it! The guest cottage is…read morebeautiful, clean, well-furnished, quite comfortable, and reasonably priced. The owners, Sue and Scott, were friendly, respectful of our privacy, and very flexible and accommodating with regard to our arrival and departure times. When we arrived, we found a welcome basket with fresh fruit, muffins, bread, and chocolate! The fridge was also stocked with eggs, yogurt, and milk. It was lovely to be able to wake up in the morning and make breakfast in the kitchen without having to go to the grocery store first! The property itself is very scenic. We enjoyed visiting with the horse, and also loved the large vegetable garden! Sue and Scott gave us full access to the garden, and our second morning there, we picked shallots and kale from the garden to add to our scrambled eggs! We were fortunate to find this spot for our stay on Vashon Island (we were there for a wedding), and were so pleased!

Clean facility, rooms, and common areas. Nice people working there…read more A few things to be aware of: 1. In the quest to save money on electricity, the hotel has installed brilliant blue-white LED lights in most room lamps and all bathroom fixtures. Terrible idea. Why is this mentioned? If you're waking up, it's great -- but if you're trying to get some sleep, that frequency of visible light screams "WAKE UP!" Even though you're feeling tired, the light unavoidably wakes up your brain and body. Terrible idea. Hint: put warmer (white light shifted toward the red end of the spectrum) in the lights in the bedroom, and perhaps (if equipped) an overhead light in the loo, so your guests aren't robbed of sleep. Did I mention that this is a terrible idea? Minus one point. 2. The parking slots are on a slight incline. Why does this matter? There is no brake on the luggage carts, and if you're there alone (or solo-loading the bags onto the cart), it's exciting to have to chase the cart as it rolls away -- toward other cars. Unload your vehicle at the hotel entrance, or risk your 50-pound suitcases meeting the nearby expensive-to-fix Mercedes or Beemer. 3. The breakfast buffet: very unexciting. The coffee? Mehhh. Condiments? Almost non-existent. The few dollars in the tip jar? Find a Starbucks or Peet's.

We arrived just after 10pm and were promptly greeted by friendly staff who were informative and helpful during our check in. Things were dated inside: carpet, fixtures, and the elevator. Everything felt sticky. When we arrived at our room, there was the most bizarre smell. We immediately had to air the room out. The windows did not have screens and would only open a couple inches, as there was a screwed in metal bar preventing it from opening further. The carpets were crunchy. There was hair on our pillows. Something hit my ankle as soon as I laid down. Based on the cleanliness of the room, we opted not to try the breakfast the next morning and left as soon as we woke up without a shower. The room was basically on the freeway and was incredibly loud. It almost is not noticeable if you have the windows closed and the AC on. The fumes from the freeway come right into the room first thing in the morning, if you crack the windows.

Conveniently located and with a friendly, yet non-intrusive, host Judith, the Farm was a very relaxing and much-needed break from the monotonous stress of Covid life in the city. Five stars all around for me. With that said, I have to STRONGLY take issue with Linda S.'s review below, due to the incredibly enjoyable experience I had. I will address each complaint: a. It does not smell musty. It is an old house, what are you expecting it to smell like, a god-blessed perfume store? b. It's Vashon island. Nobody is gonna steal your stuff, Linda. And if you are so concerned, you can take valuables with you in the car you undoubtedly arrived in while away from the cottage. c. There is most certainly a latch on the bathroom door. d. There is a wall in the closet. Also even if there wasn't, when doors are closed, they are like a wall. The barn does not have people in it while you are sleeping anyways. e. This charming accommodation is run by a single proprietor. I'm not sure why Linda expected meal service in a rustic cottage on an island. Nowhere is the claim made this will be the case. I think the "you make both" joke is hilarious, I wish it were still there. f. Leaving the first dang night? Give the place a chance. Thank you for reading. Judith rocks and the cottage is spectacular, I will be returning.

To get here from Seattle you have to take the Fauntleroy ferry to Vashon Island but we headed there pretty early in the morning and we had no problems getting onto the ferry with our car (On the way back from Vashon however, we saw a bunch of people heading to Vashon in the afternoon. The ferry line for vehicles was crazy backed up, so I would not recommend going too late!) After arriving at Vashon, it's about 20 or so minutes to the Lavender Hill Farm. This place is super cute! From what I could observe, it looks like a beautiful private residence with its own little giant farm attached. What made this place stand out from the rest is that there were so many varieties of lavender that I had never heard of before. They had some interns there, helping to pick lavender and make bouquets/wreaths who did a great job of educating us on the different types of smelling lavender and cooking lavender. They also had a bunch of premade lavender products. Personally, I always go for the little lavender bags and use them in my laundry -- they last forever, and they smelled great. They had these scented roller balls each with a different type of lavender, it smelled absolutely amazing. If I am remembering correctly, there were also lotions, balms, incense, even pre-cut cooking lavender, and I believe there was even lavender soda for sale. I was able to purchase everything easily using contactless pay. I believe I had a conversation with the owner of the farm (not 100% on that though) and she was quite lovely. This place is dog friendly as you can see from my pictures, however, they also have a farm dog of their own so just be mindful of that. If you love to Instagram, or taking pictures, this place is definitely for you -- and if you like lavender, of course, you should definitely come here! It seems like their season has already ended so I'm guessing it's open for a very short window in the early summer, but if you have the opportunity to go next summer, I would recommend it!

It would be nice if they have air refresher. My aunty fell because the floor was too slippery and there was no bath mat. We're not going to come back and not recommended. I don't really want to complain because we got a good price compared to the original price that they posted. I would be so regret if we have to pay that full price because it's not worth it. They charged us 77$ additional cleaning fee even though their instructions were not clear. They also want to charge 15$/dozen of oysters that we took home even though it was not included on house rules. Plus we never get oysters on the day we were there because of high tide. They treated us as thief. Asked if we take their bbq tongs that they missing. We washed and put it in the dishwasher. They should of check first before asking like people are stilling their stuff.
