    An idyllic setting right at the beach, with owners who went out of their way to ensure our comfort and privacy yet were easily available to answer questions, make reservations, or to sit and have a prolonged chat about the meaning of life! My wife and I made friends there and look forward to returning this summer!

    Stayed here twice now, during the wine and mushroom festival and loved it. The hosts are fun, knowledgeable about the area, have anything and everything to make your stay wonderful. Susie makes reservations for you ahead of time and also in room massages. The food is to die for cooked by both Bill and Susie.


    Boreas is simply the best.

    My wife and I have been going to Bed and Breakfasts for twelve years. Boreas was one of our first, and it is the only one we've gone back to. We've tried a lot of others - but always end up going back to Boreas. We've been going there as often as we can afford and fit into our life since. The inn is wonderful. It has all the luxurious amenities you hope for. Pillow-soft feather beds with high quality sheets, beautiful robes, a fresh tray of brownies, a massive jar of pistachios for snacking, a beautiful hot-tub looking out to the ocean. But it's also very relaxed and comfortable. (Some fancy B&Bs feel stuffy, like you are afraid to really sit down and just be.) The location - the long beach peninsula - is wonderful. Long Beach is a much less commercialized beach town. It's small and fun. But you'll be surprised to find a shocking number of exceptional restaurants. I don't know if chefs retire to the peninsula or what, but it's amazing. The beach is beautiful - and best of all - you can drive on it. But most importantly, the innkeepers, are perfect. Bill & Susie have mastered the art of hospitality. They know when to be present and attending to your needs, and when to make themselves scarce. They cook the best breakfast we've ever had, with care for every ingredient. They are fun, and friendly, knowledgable and treat us like long-lost well-loved relatives. If you haven't tried Boreas, you should. It's well worth the cost and the drive. It's an amazing place with amazing people.

    We stayed at Boreas B&B in Long Beach, Washington, for 3 nights in September 2010 and really wanted to stay on for much longer. The welcome was warm, friendly, entertaining, and informative, and that was just the start. The hosts, Bill Verner and Susie Goldsmith are welcoming and gracious hosts who take a pride in the home - and sharing it with their guests. The lounge looks out towards the sea and a walk through the garden takes you to the beach. Relaxing in the lounge or the garden is equally pleasant, and on-tap coffee, tea, cookies and brownies add to the feeling that you are at home and not away somewhere. Breakfasts are a gourmet feast prepared by Bill and cannot be beaten anywhere I have stayed. Plan to stay as long as you can, you will relax and be welcomed. Long Beach also has some great places to eat in the evening, which Bill was pleased to tell us about.

    Susie and Bill made us feel at home right away and provided so many extras I wanted to stay longer. Their breakfasts are incomparable; the most memorable I have ever been served! Susie, please add the almond cake to your website recipes. The location is great-quiet but walking distance to everything. I can't wait to return! Thanks, Donna S.
