“Great B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I visited The Moss House recently while in Washington for business travel and thought that it would be nice to stay at a B&B rather than a stuffy hotel. I was right, of course, choosing The Moss House was a great idea!

Becky, one of the owners was gracious and welcoming to me from the start, along with their dog, Bella. Becky helped me to my room, The Estuary, and gave me recommendations for dinner. I had a lot of work to do and their wifi worked beautifully! That is always a fear of mine, especially when staying in hotels, sometimes their wifi works and sometimes it doesn't.

The room was roomy, with a private bath, including anything I may need from toiletries to a sound machine in case I need that sort of thing for sleeping. The area of Washington, and almost all of Washington, is peaceful and quiet so it made for a wonderful night's sleep. The Moss House is a block from the river so it is walking distance to everything, including little boutiques and restarurants.

For breakfast, Becky offered to accomodate my time since I was heading out for business meetings. She had coffee ready for me and breakfast started with a fruit bowl that was literally, the best fruit bowl I have ever had!! It was fresh,tangy, and oh so yummy! Next, was pumpkin spice bread, orange juice, and then came the omelette with toast. I was so full when I left that morning that I wasn't even ready for lunch when midday came.

Before I left, I booked more of my future stays with Becky and am looking forward to continuing my relationship with this house while working in the area. I'm also looking forward to bringing the hubs down for an early start to the beach season!

“Great Stay In a Fine B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Our room was bright and well furnished, with lots of local reading material that helped us when we toured the area around Washington. Our hosts were helpful and engaging and gave us a lot of help in choosing restaurants, and local attactions. The breakfasts were terrific, and Becky and Scot made us feel very welcome.

“Daughter's Wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Our family rented the entire Moss House for our daughter's wedding. Scott and Becky went above and beyond to make our family from California feel welcome. We stayed for 3 nights and each morning we were greeted with wonderful smells and delicious food from the kitchen. What a great idea to have the "family" stay at a place where they felt so at home. Can hardly wait to return for a visit!

“Great accommodations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

The Moss House is charming. The hostess, Becky, was very accommodating about my quirky eating requirements and prepared delicious and nutritious breakfasts while I was there. The coffee is also really good - strong, but smooth and flavorful. Another plus - Becky makes an effort to be "green" - for example, recycling is available and she uses biodergadable trash bags.

“A great spot for a holiday getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We stole away after a hectic holiday and had a wonderful time staying at the Moss House. The Bed and Breakfast was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Scott and Becky are terrific hosts and helped us find Pungo Lake to see the Tundra Swans. Becky should have her own Food Network special on B & B breakfasts. Yumm! Becky also asked us for any special dietary concerns we may have had. The location is perfect for evening strolls along the water and access to shopping and dining in Washington. We stayed three nights and felt right at home.
