When I'm on vacation, I dread having to stay at one of the chain motels that are typically located along some noisy highway. Sure, it's easy to get to them and then get back on the road in the morning, but when I want something more peaceful or personal, I stay at a B&B. We decided to run away for one night to do 2 days of wine tasting/buying in the Prosser, WA area and needed to stay somewhere. We selected the 4 Seasons River Inn based on feedback from Tripadvisor. Nice move, that.
Nancy runs this "B&B" which is really a very large single level house located a lawn away from the Yakima river. Now, Nancy is one of those super friendly people and you get to know her instantly. Yes, she's very likable too. When we drove up to the house, she came out to greet us, just like another reviewer said, it's like coming to your Aunt's house for a visit.
The house was built in the 1970s, is amazingly well kept and cozy. We stayed in the Cabernet room which is right off the front entrance of the house, which was helpful when Nancy suggested that we put our cases of wine in the house for safe keeping. When was the last time you got to walk on deep pile shag carpet in your bare feet? The Cabernet room was comfortable and super quiet, we slept well.
Breakfast is served buffet style, so you can eat in the dining room or out on the huge deck or down by the river if you want. You won't go away hungry as Nancy prepared coffee, berry smoothie, granola, yogurt, apple crisp, fresh fruit and a nice egg/potato frittata which was delicious.
During the previous evening, after dinner, we sat out on the deck looking at the lights reflecting in the river as another couple who were staying at the B&B cooked kebabs over a small gas fire pit down near the river for a unique dining experience.
We could have easily stayed more than one night since the B&B is close to many wineries. We'll have to make another trip to this area sometime soon.
