Experience this secluded paradise on the west side of San Juan Island overlooking the waters of Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Built six years ago on a wooded hillside for the purpose of being a luxury bed & breakfast inn, the Northwest contemporary style design boasts high ceilings. Enjoy afternoon tea and warm cookies. Each of the two private suites feature a jetted tub for two, steam shower, woodburning fireplace, window seat, mini-refrigerator, CD and video library. Sliding doors lead onto the 88-foot natural cedar covered veranda with incredible views and an outdoor hydrotherapy hot tub. A gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room, on the veranda or delivered to the suite. Relax on the patio area under a 400-year-old Douglas fir, stroll the stone steps to the pond and waterfall.

Amazing suite, disappointing service

I don't think the suite could be any better! It was built to be an amazing bed and breakfast. the host was on jury duty, so instead of having someone else come in to make breakfast for us, she made greasy freezer sausage and eggs and left them in the warming drawer until we were up. the second day she made a gross bread pudding with raisins which I hate, and it was too gooey in the middle and too hard on top. I was looking forward to using the hot tub, so when we asked to use it, she informed us that it had been repaired and she didn't know if it was safe for people to go in it. it was March so definitely cold enough to enjoy it. I couldn't believe that she didn't warn us ahead of time or even check to see if it was safe. we also took some of the pop in the fridge with us for the drive home and realized that it had expired months before. pop doesn't go bad easily so she must have had it in there for a long time. overall, not worth what we paid. this was march 2009.
