My boyfriend and I visited The Bluff on Whidbey to run the Whidbey Half marathon. Larry and Kathy were amazing host! The first morning we were there breakfast was clearly made with experience and lots of love, Kathy was happy to meet special needs (I'm vegaterian, and someone else staying that weekend was gluten free). The morning of the race... More

Well, Dave, thank you very much for that extremely nice review.... these reviews are an increasingly important way for travelers to pick and for hosts to acquire future guests, so such a note helps us greatly. Larry More

One of the best B&B choices in our travels coast to coast - Larry & Kathy provide top-notch service and comfort for their guests in a beautifully restored heritage home. The guest rooms are in a new addition with private entries, decks & an immaculate hot tub (robes provided). We enjoyed the fabulous spring bloom at the Tulip Festival in... More

My wife and I enjoyed a weekend getaway to Whidbey Island at our now favorite bed & breakfast. We stayed in the Cicero room and fell in love with the space and the view. It was completely quiet and private, had nice furniture and amenities, and our breakfast was always hot and delicious. We also enjoyed chatting with the owners... More

My boyfriend booked a room at this B&B for the night of August 21, 2012. I knew we were staying somewhere that night but he did not tell me where or why. He proposed on the beach at Deception Pass and then we drove to the B&B for the night. It was the perfect place for a romantic getaway/evening. Larry... More

Convenient to Rt 20, near Deception Pass and not to far from Whidbey Island Winery's (Green Bank Farm is great). Complimentary wi-fi. Very clean. Friendly owners with good local recommendations. The best part...the views from the bluff! I'd recommend to get a bottle of wine and sit on the hammock or chairs and watch the night fall over the waters... More

Pleasant surprise for a B&B. Were able to book the Lynden room (the other room was available too) just 10 days in advance. I think most of the B&B's near Coupeville get booked up pretty quickly, and months in advance, so our expectations were tempered by the availability. No worries though, as this was a beautiful location with grand views... More

One of the nicest experiences we've ever had at a bed and breakfast. The views on the bluff are spectacular and Larry and Kathy are such excellent hosts. They gave us some great tips about hiking in the area and day trip excursions, but the nicest part of the day was when we came back "home" and spent some time... More

The room was very nice with a fabulous view. It was also great to have a hot tub right outside our room to enjoy. My only complaint would be about the breakfast, both mornings we found hair in our food, this is definitely not a pleasant experience. There is more to be desired from the food. Our room also wasnt... More

I have stayed at the Bluff several times now and think that Kathy and Larry Vanderleest are wonderful hosts - great food, lovely rooms AND a magnificient view of the Puget Sound water - you can't ask for anything more from a relaxing vacation. There are also things to do nearby, such as visit Deception Pass. It's an ideal destination... More
