    This was the 6th time I stayed at the Inn of Twin Gables. One of the reasons why I keep going back is that Katie, the owner, makes you feel at home. Her home is beautiful and the food is always delicious! I'll be back!

    Friendly and cozy

    Stayed here for four days in July. The owner is wonderful, friendly, and a great resource for what to do in Seattle. Her breakfasts were also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again.
