    Wonderful Experience

    October 24, 2012

    We visited for our anniversary and had an amazing stay. We loved the room which was bright and clean. And the food was wonderful. I was a little nervous and it blew away my expectations. Great place and we highly recommend it!

    Authentic Vintage House, Friendly Hostess, Posh Room With A View

    June 17, 2012

    This was our first B&B experience so we had no comparison but the women at least are hooked on B&B's now. The home is beautiful, the rooms are larger than they appear in the pictures. Shelley was more than accommodating, she was helpful and friendly. We had to modify our reservation a couple of times and she was very gracious about it. She responded quickly to our e-mails. We had the Ballard View room and woke to a lovely Olympic mountain view on our last morning. The place was super clean. Our bathroom was spectacular, we even used the jacuzzi (with a sunset view). The food was quite gourmet and she used local, fresh and organic ingredients. Our husbands were a little less enthusiastic about the food - they are not gourmands - but if you appreciate something more special than bacon and fried eggs, this is the place. The scrambled eggs with smoked salmon in puff pastry was extra special.

    Signature Dish

    9 Cranes Inn Salmon Scramble
    Wild smoked salmon, cream cheese, spinach, and tarragon combine in a pretty scramble that nests in a homemade puff pastry shell. A side of roasted tomatoes, or maybe rosemary potatoes accompany the dish. This, after a first course that is fresh fruit-based. Juice, coffee, tea are also served.
