Stunning Views and Perfect Retreat Setting…read more I recently stayed at Sacred Waters Retreat Center for a group weekend retreat, and the location is absolutely spectacular. The property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Hood Canal and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the main hall provided an excellent space for our group activities. The landscaping is beautifully maintained and really enhances the natural beauty of the property. For the price point, this place offers excellent value--you really can't beat the combination of affordability and those stunning water and mountain views. Special shoutout to Lois, the landscaper, who was absolutely wonderful and clearly takes great pride in maintaining the grounds! If you're looking for an affordable retreat space with spectacular scenery and solid facilities, Sacred Waters is a great choice. The natural beauty of the location is truly unforgettable.

Beautiful setting, completely updated 1920s log lodge, great vibe/ambience, and supportive (not smothering) staff. Bonus: Chef Traecy (spelling?) and crew have done their best to serve fresh, local food that accommodates all dietary needs. How does it taste so good? There are foods I have not enjoyed before, but under his capable cooking, I loved them.

But what really makes this place special and different from other venues are the owners. John and Juanita are the absolute best! So accommodating, laid back, generous, fun, etc. I can't say enough about them and how easy they were to work with. Talk about low-stress planning. They made everything easy and fun for us. We all like them so much that we are trying to figure out what else we can book at their venue just to see them again! The upstairs area for getting ready is huge and great for on-site hair and makeup and pre-game photos. Lots of fun props up there. I feel like Capitol City Barn will quickly become the premier venue in Olympia with these wonderful people at the helm. You will NOT be disappointed!

There was hot chocolate, coffee, and a huge bonfire to warm us up from the cold. Plus yummy treats to munch on. The Farm itself was gorgeous with a huge selection of trees. Found a huge tree for my mom and a smaller tree for myself. Then afterwards they bound the trees for us and help us load them onto the car. I cannot express enough how wonderfully welcoming and helpful everyone was! I feel like we made new friends. We will definitely be coming back next year.

It was very clean, the grounds well done, the bathroom was huge in the Wonderland Room and the entire place had lots of fascinating nooks and crannies throughout the house. There light breakfast (pastries, fruit and water/tea/coffee) plus complimentary snacks/sodas in a gorgeous dining room. There was a music room with instruments including a piano and a game room so there were plenty of places to relax in the main area of the home on the first floor. Everything was done with care. The owners were very unobtrusive so it felt more like a hotel stay. It is a gem! (The old-fashioned staircase was steep to the guest rooms so it is not ADA accessible - otherwise the place was perfect and fun!) Will return for another stay.

I shopped around in Seattle and Bothell--and Cherry Falls had far more ambiance at a better price than the big city offerings. We liked the large windows in the back that showed the trees and forest (our family member who passed was an avid hiker and outdoor lover). There is a kitchen that includes a 30-cup coffee maker, as well as two lovely water dispensers, and much more. There is a large screen with the electronics and speakers to show a slide show or movie. The parking lot is huge, the place is easy to find, right off the road, but it feels peaceful and secluded. The proprietor, Autumn, met us there to go through the electronics and the other details, and before I showed with all my snacks and flowers, she'd already put white tablecloths on all five (huge) tables, and pulled out additional smaller tables for pictures and memorabilia. Everything was spotlessly clean, including a large bathroom and cloakroom. Really, we couldn't have asked for more. I whole-heartedly recommend this venue!

Clean, no smell, staff smiling, happy, so welcoming. We sat inside, tables a good distance apart from each other, they clearly value each customer, not each dollar. Nice patio outside over looking the water. Food, we started with artichoke dip, wow so good, cheesy, served with toast, a great shareable appetizer. Dinner I had street bang shrimp tacos, and my wife had the royal with cheese burger. Fresh cook, this is not a kitchen that is reheating or use microwave's. Their cooking staff cares. Fresh, simple and so plated, excellent. Wait staff, friendly, but not hovering, our waitress, amazing. Smiling checking in but not overwhelming. This is a wonderful little gem in Port Orchard, and a nice nod to the movie Pulp Fiction

Whiskey Gulch has some customer service work to do!!…read more The food looked amazing, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try it due to a complete service breakdown. While dining with a friend, I told our server I'd be placing a to-go order halfway through my drink, but he disappeared for over 45 minutes. I eventually had to flag down another server to place my order--an A mushroom burger, a Zeus salad with gyro meat, and a bacon cheeseburger(no cheese) --while also requesting a box and the check for my friend. After waiting another 25 minutes with no updates, we had to ask a third person for the check because my friend's baby was getting restless.Our original server finally returned and casually mentioned he had been on break, never having passed our table off to anyone else. When I asked about my food, he realized the second server never even entered the order into the system. He offered to "rush" the items, but after already waiting nearly 40 minutes for an order that was never started, I wasn't willing to wait another 30 minutes. It was incredibly frustrating to walk away empty-handed after spending 90 minutes dealing with a lack of basic communication and follow-through. It was a beautiful outside and was really nice to sit outside and look at the ocean, not super comfortable seats but the view makes up for it. 2 stars because my vodka lemonade was good, the staff is friendly but just all over the place and such bad communication.

The wine is just average - we did like the white reisling and the malbec, and the port was also good. We ordered the trail mix which is actually a small charcuterie plate. The crackers were stale.

Very good news!…read more This winery has been operating irregularly the last year or so. The owners, who are friends, have been dealing with some health issues. But as I said - good news! They are both past those health issues and now open week ends again. A side benefit (if you can call it that) to their being closed is that much of the wine laid down in barrels before their health issues hit has only become better. It is now being bottled. The Stagecoach blend is better than ever! The Cab is super smooth! Keep an eye on YELP and FB for news about their 19th anneversary party August 8th, by the way.
