In looking for a B&B for a romantic weekend on the coast with my wife, I called many places but this was the first where a person answered the phone. Ginger was very friendly on the phone and I booked. Great decision!
The location is about 3 hours from Tacoma with long sections along very scenic coast line. When we got there, Ginger was waiting for us and showed us everything around the house. There were many decorations and interesting things to look at in the house, which you got free roam of because Ginger lives next door. If you ever need her to ask a questions, you can just ring the door bell and she'll pop right over.
She made reservations for me at local restaurant which I probably would have driven past were it not her suggestion. Then we spent a little time at the tavern down the road and picked up some snacks at the Grocery store on the way back to the Charles Nelson from the tavern. When we got back, ginger had homemade fudge, peanut butter bars, lemon bars, and sugar cookies waiting for us in the living room. There was also some bourbon on the coffee table so we spent the rest of the night talking and listening to music. There was a music player in every room!
The next morning the breakfast was awesome, having 4 different kinds of juice, gourmet tea, a big glass of ice water and fresh fruit cured my hangover. There was so much good food I didn't make a dent in my main course and I think I may have hurt Ginger's feelings.
After breakfast it was a short drive up the road to the Leadbetter Pointe State park, the tip of the peninsula. There is a combination of trails that will take you along the bay side, through dense woods, and out onto the ocean beach. If you go at low tide, you can find all kinds of creatures in the tidal flats on the bay side; sponges, crabs, clams, oysters, mussels, we even saw some large tracks, maybe elk or deer. The whole loop is about 4 miles, and very easy, just be sure to bring rubber boots during the winter months as the trails do flood.
The location was perfect for a weekend away. The service was on a different level. For less money than a night at a Seattle Ramada, with no amenities, this is a great value. The rooms were comfortable and each has its own bathroom.
I would love to return, perhaps this summer.
