Greenhouse Inn by the Bay

Beautiful inn / room overlooking the bay! Well appointed. Comfortable bed. Big shower. Close to good restaurants and Olympic National Park. Friendly owners. Easy to book and great communications before, during and after stay. Highly recommend.

We stayed in the Seascape Room for three nights. It was not what we expected from the photos and description on the website. This room was previously a ground floor bedroom on the front of the house. It is now entered through some sliding doors off a very small deck with a ramp. The bed is in the middle of the room so that it faces the sliding door. To say you can lay in bed and see the water is the first exaggeration. The water is across a road, behind a large hedge and in a cove well below the level of the road. The only water you can possibly see is pretty far off. We could see the sails from the parasailers on the water sometimes. there is one small nightstand on the wall side of the bed. You need the space on the other side to walk behind the bed to the "kitchenette". This is the previous closet which has had the doors removed so that it contains a small refrigerator with a coffee maker on top and a microwave on a shelf over that. The is a super small sink on one end of the closet. Since no breakfast is served, there were some granola bars and yogurt furnished. The bathroom is just as pictured as long as you realize that it was taken from the "walk in closet". The closet in reality is a 3' wooden bar for hanging clothes on one end of the bathroom with a three drawer dresser against one wall. Not a closet by any means. We asked for a few more hangers and got them promptly. One plus was the comfy bed with quality linens. However, the rest of the furnishings consist of the two chairs and a very small side table between them - see photo on the inn's website with two chairs at the foot of the bed. My husband had some work to do but there was nowhere to set up his laptop and some papers. He ended up trying to balance it on the folding luggage rack. There are two deck chairs but the area is very windy and cool even in June and July so sitting outside wasn't possible. Overall, if you want to be in a quiet residential area and don't mind a 20 minute to an hour drive to get to points at Olympic National Park, this might work for you. But overall, this was not what we expected and we will have to look more closely at photos and disregard descriptions in the future.

Whether you want to unwind or have a base for exploring Olympic National Park, Greenhouse Inn by the Bay is the ideal place to stay. We stayed in The Perch, a two-story building. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Additionally, there was a large room where we could watch Netflix in the evening and keep a cold beer in the refrigerator. What a luxurious stay! Our hosts, Craig and Michele, were very friendly and always available to help us with any questions or provide restaurant recommendations. The surroundings were stunning, whether you're a fan of water or mountains. As we enjoyed our morning coffee on the terrace, we would see deer wandering in the backyard. We stayed here for two days and were completely rejuvenated before heading to Seattle. This accommodation comes highly recommended, and if we ever find ourselves in this region again, we would love to return without hesitation!

We spent 3 nights in this place, and after having not so good of experience with other B&B in Washington, we were concerned about how this would be. Our first experience with them was when I called to let them know we were going to be there after the check in time, and they were very accommodating and helped us get into our room at the time we arrived. The following morning we were surprised with an amazing homemade breakfast that was done to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The house was extremely clean and in order. Our room was large and with great amenities. WiFi was fast. The view from our room was the best. The house is located about 30 minutes from Port Angeles but is in a very quiet and centrally located area. On the day we had to check out, we could not wait for the breakfast to be made as we needed to leave earlier, and Craig had a to-go breakfast prepared for us and left it in our room refrigerator. That was such a nice touch. Craig and Michele were great hostesses. They love to share about the activities to be done in the area, and also allow you to visit their greenhouse and property. I would return here next time we are in the area. It was one of the best B&B we stayed in.

Great location and welcoming host Craig, who had just the right recommendations for activities and restaurants. The Greenhouse Inn is a lovely home that has been turned into an inn with views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Delicious wholesome breakfasts were served to start our day of discovery. The Dungeness Spit is a short drive away with several lavender farms nearby. Check out the tour at B&B Lavender Farm. A great place to stay!
