Though we only had time for one night this year, Hideaway Lodge Bed & Breakfast is one of those places that left us relaxed and happy at the end of our stay. Gary and Carrol are wonderful hosts.

"Wine Down Time" was a nice touch and there were fresh flowers waiting in our room for our anniversary. We enjoyed wandering the property the next morning. Woodenville has some great places to eat and downtown is walk around friendly. I highly recommend staying here if you are in need of a getaway!

Be sure to check out the wine down experience in the evening. You would not even know you're in a big city with all the trees and lush greenery.

We just returned from a visit at Treehouse Point, completing a bucket list item. To say it was an…read moreoutstanding experience is putting it mildly! It was the highlight of our road trip! 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 only wish I had spent another day after the festival was over to enjoy the beautiful lake. Jolee and Dale were considerate hosts who provided a wonderful breakfast each morning in the common area and lots of privacy.

We had a great experience staying at the Grayson B&B and would absolutely consider staying here…read moreagain. We were vendors at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire and needed somewhere to stay for about five weeks. Grayson B&B was by far the most affordable option we found compared with other nearby accommodations, so we decided to give it a try--and I'm really glad we did. One of the best parts of our stay was getting to know Miriam, the owner, and her family. Miriam is genuinely kind, very accommodating, and a great listener. I really enjoyed our conversations and getting to know her over the five weeks we were there. As a newer business owner, I especially appreciated the wisdom and advice she shared with me. I learned a lot just from talking with her about life and business. She was also genuinely happy for us whenever we had a successful weekend at the faire, which made our stay feel much more personal. It was nice coming back and having someone who actually cared about how things were going for us. We also really enjoyed meeting all of the animals on the property. Miriam raises chickens and has ducks, rabbits, cats, and dogs as well. She invited my daughter to come meet the chickens and ducks, and we also got to pet the rabbits, which my daughter really enjoyed. It was such a fun and charming part of the stay and made the property feel even more special. It's definitely not the kind of experience you would get at a typical hotel. Another thing I absolutely loved was Miriam's organic garden. She generously told us that we were welcome to pick anything we wanted from the garden at any time during our stay. We ended up picking some sugar snap peas, and they were so delicious! That was such a thoughtful and unique perk and another example of how welcoming she was with her home and property. The property itself is really special. The house is huge and has so much character, and the grounds, garden, and animals make it a fun place to spend time. You can tell Miriam has put a tremendous amount of care into the property. Because I booked our stay somewhat last minute, there wasn't one room available for our entire five-week stay, so we did have to switch rooms once based on the availability she had. Miriam was extremely accommodating and worked with us to make it possible for us to stay there for the full period. The move was easy, and we were comfortable in both rooms. The beds were very comfortable, and someone came in to clean our room every Wednesday. Each guest room also gets designated shelf space in the refrigerator, which was especially helpful for such a long stay. Saturday brunch was another really nice part of the experience. Miriam is a great cook and was accommodating of our dietary needs. Having brunch included every Saturday was something we really appreciated and looked forward to. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is a shared-space B&B, so the bathroom and common areas are shared with other guests. If you're comfortable with a shared living environment, I think Grayson B&B offers incredible value, particularly for an extended stay. Overall, our five weeks at Grayson B&B were a genuinely fun and memorable experience. It became our home base while we worked the Renaissance Faire, but it ended up being much more than simply a place to sleep. Getting to know Miriam and her family, talking with her and learning from her, meeting all of the animals, petting the rabbits, picking fresh vegetables from the garden, enjoying her Saturday brunches, and spending time on such a unique property made the experience special. Miriam is a genuinely kind person who made us feel very welcome, and I'm really grateful that we decided to give Grayson B&B a chance.

Please do not go to this place! It is nothing like advertised. The hosts were the rudest I've ever…read moreencountered, and the sheets were absolutely filthy. We were so uncomfortable that we decided not to stay, even though it meant driving 2 hours back home, returning the next day for an event, and driving another 2 hours again. We arrived 30 minutes before check-in because it was our first time in town, and we wanted to ensure everything went smoothly. As soon as I walked in, I honestly thought I was at the wrong place. The owner greeted me with a curt "Can I help you?"--as if she wasn't expecting us. I had to ask if I was in the right place, and she just shrugged. She immediately complained that we were early, asking, "Who are you?" and "Have you paid for the pet fee?"--all in a passive-aggressive tone. She told my husband to park "over there, by the pool," but her directions were so unclear that after asking three times, he parked where he thought she meant--only for her to snap that it was her husband's spot. When we saw our room, we were shocked to learn we had to share a bathroom with another guest--something not mentioned in the listing. Our only private area was a tiny bedroom. On top of that, we were hit with endless rules: We could only let our dog outside when her dogs weren't there, using a confusing "light signal" system. Shoes had to be removed at all times. Our dog's food and water had to stay outside. We had to be mindful of her 2-year-old child. The woman we were sharing the bathroom with was apparently afraid of dogs--why stay in a so-called "pet-friendly" place then? To make matters worse, the property is right next to a busy road with no sidewalk--unsafe and stressful for walking a dog. Finally, the bed was disgusting: the sheets were covered in pet hair, and we even found an ear pain medicine packet under the covers--proof they hadn't been washed. That was the last straw. We packed up and left. When I told the owner we weren't staying, she coldly replied, "OK, cool!" When I mentioned the dirty sheets, she just repeated that it was "weird" because they pay someone to clean, without apologizing or offering to change them. I also told her she should disclose the shared bathroom, and she dismissed me with, "That's a B&B thing"--which is false. After reading reviews, I noticed she often claims not to "recognize" guests who leave bad reviews but has no trouble remembering all the 5-star reviewers. Honestly, I don't know how this place gets any good ratings. Believe me--do NOT stay here.

The Ranch itself has two cabins--one big and one small. We've only stayed at the little cabin and it has been perfect for a weekend away of relaxing, reading, and listening to music/radio/podcasts. They do provide a delicious home cooked breakfast, but one down side is that the little cabin doesn't have any cooking appliances, so you either have to bring snacks to store in the little refrigerator or venture out to the Index Cafe for dinner. Overall I'd highly recommend this place for couples who want an easy way to get out of town to relax/be in the wilderness without the hassle of snow tires/chains.

Located on a bluff above Eagle Harbor, there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy the massive expanse of water and sky. A curving set of wood and stone steps lead down to the water where one can barbeque, go kayaking, sit and relax, or walk on the beach. I saw an eagle swoop on some cormorants that were sitting out on a floating dais (they dove and easily escaped him). The view of Mt. Rainier from the beach is unique and if one walks down a ways one can see the Seattle skyline. The place is everything it is advertised to be: the windows overlook Eagle Harbor with the ferries coming and going, the kitchen is well equipped and the stove has gas burners, the bed is very comfortable, the television has more channels than I would ever watch, Wi Fi is free, the bathroom is clean and the showerhead is powerful. The owners were friendly and honored my privacy. Photographers, artists, birdwatchers, couples, small families, kayakers, an individual looking to relax - I could go on - will all find something here. I found true peace and quiet.

The owners live upstairs but I never heard/saw them, however, they make it very clear in the information they email you that should you need ANYTHING during your stay don't hesitate to just let them know. It was private, quiet and beautiful. For someone who only gets one vacation a year, it was exactly what I needed and as mentioned, I will definitely be back next year!

My now husband and I could not say no to a venue that was 1) beautiful 2) great price 3) had a closet full of decor we could use and 4) responsive owners that answered any questions that came their way. The decor planning was relatively easy since we used pieces from the closet for our entrance and reception tables. Most folks said I didn't look stressed throughout the process, and I believe most of that stemmed from Gray Bridge making it incredibly simple for us to use their items. We just had to take care of personal pieces, such as the entrance sign or guestbook. The only downside to this place is the drive, which is roughly an hour away from Seattle (or 1.5X during traffic time). We overcame that by starting our ceremony earlier than usual (330PM) so we could have our guests enjoy the venue for roughly 7.5-8 hours. Another perk to this venue is they allow any vendors onsite. We weren't stuck with having to buy X cases of wines at wineries or sticking with food caterers that were not on par to the quality we were looking for. Overall, I highly recommend you checking out this place and booking ASAP since their dates fill up well a year in advance.

To start with, the venue is absolutely gorgeous (our wedding was in June). We wanted a beautiful PNW backdrop to show our out of state guests and that is definitely what we got - everyone complimented us on it later! Gray Bridge is set up in a thoughtful layout that makes wedding days flow smoothly while also providing smaller, intimate moments for photos, games, mingling, etc. Additionally, Stacy and Matt go above and beyond to make sure everything is on track and the venue is set up to each couple's specific wedding day vision. It took so much of the uncertainty out of wedding planning to know that we were in such good hands and that Stacy and Matt had great relationships with our vendors, which really goes a long way. Finally, all the decor available to borrow definitely kept costs (and stress) down! We definitely hope to be back here as guests someday :)
