    My husband and I really enjoyed our weekend trip and stay at The Blue Goose Inn. Sue and Marty were very friendly and made us feel at home and helped our stay to be very pleasant. The room itself was very spacious and nice and the bed and bath were also very nice. We would definitely come again!

    Pleasant, Friendly Place to Stay

    Sue and Marty are great hosts and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We definitely recommend the Mt. Baker room: king size bed, large bathroom with a whirlpool, and an amazing view out of several windows. Price seemed a little high for off-season travel. However, the location is very close to the main street and choices for places to eat. Plus, Whidbey Island is a beautiful place to explore/hike.

    Wonderful stay on Whidbey

    I'm still remembering the great breakfast we had each morning of our stay at The Blue Goose B&B...they were awesome! Lots of great hot coffee and fun conversation served by Marty, and yummy food made by Sue. Our room was perfect too - really large with a comfy bed and all very clean and neat. We were able to walk to everything in town, and there are great beaches and places to explore just a short drive away. Hiking the bluff at Ebey's Landing was our favorite adventure - we saw eagles! The whole weekend was perfect and we'd like to plan another one with friends from out of town next time.

    The Best B&B we've ever stayed in!!

    The Blue Goose Inn far exceeds other B&Bs that we've stayed in. Our stay began with a very warm welcome from Sue, fresh cookies, a crackling fire going in the parlor. Then we went up to our beautiful room, the Mt. Baker Suite...it's huge and bright, with lots of great antiques, a two person tub, and wonderful views out the original panes of glass in this great old home. I think Sue said it was built in the 1880s...really nice! After a quiet night and great sleep in the very comfy bed, we experienced our first breakfast ...what a treat! We had a cheese omelet that doesn't sound fancy until you bite into it...nice light texture with wonderful taste. It was paired with yummy roasted potatoes, fresh scones with homemade jam, and fresh fruit. It was all served with a warm and welcoming presentation and plenty of friendliness. Sue and Marty really know how to make people comfortable, and the other guests were also enjoyable. I really can't find anything bad to say about our stay, except that it was too short! We'll be back!

    wonderful!
