Inn At Barnum Point

Carolyn is an awsome hostess. She makes you feel like you are at home. The setting is beautiful with wonderful views of the beauty of Washington. The Inn at Barnum Point is close to a variety of things to do including beaches to walk on, wonderful coffee shops and really enjoyable back road drives. Close to everything and then a place to relax. Breakfast was out of the world. Very tasty, she even shared a recipe. Enjoy and relax.

Enjoyed all of the necessities of a B&B. Great host, great breakfast, Very pleasant to talk with while enjoying her fresh crab quiche. Room was awesome, view was spectacular and the price was right. What more can you ask for??? Nada!

We were delighted to be upgraded to the Shorebird suite and very much enjoyed the morning view from the four-poster bed in the loft. The over-sized bathtub was a treat and it was great to have a well-stocked fridge for breakfast. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, I hope we can return again soon.

Arrived late due to wedding, but Caroline had room waiting for us. Got us situated very quickly. Next morning breakfast was awesome. Again, a little late but she didn't mind. Will deffinatly be back!

It was the perfect end to a Wonderful Day. The moon rising with the reflection on the hay...

We spent the weekend in the Heron Room. Awesome views of the area & wildlife. Secluded beach access. Carolin provided 5 star breakfasts!! The local eateries well satisfied our needs & wants for lunch & dinner fare. Our bed was a little softer than we prefer, but both of us sleep like babies with the water & wind ambient noise. House pets, Denali & Cat, were as welcoming as Carolin. We will be back.

We went to Barnum Point with our 2 teenage sons and their 2 friends for one night, wish it had been more! The Shoreline room worked out brilliantly for the boys and we had the Eagle room that adjoins it. The Shoreline room has it's own kitchenette and wonderful en-suite with big 2 person shower and huge soaker tub - my 18 year old is 6' 6" and quite broad and marvelled at the fact that he could soak very comfortably in it. The beds are very very comfortable, we all had a brilliant nights sleep. The Shoreline has 2 queen beds and 2 twin roll-outs and the Eagle has a very high queen (steps to get up to it). The mattresses were so comfortable that I wanted to find out what brand they were so I could buy one for home! We saw loads of eagles, deer and seals or otters near the property and llama's, horses and goats not far away from it. It is set in a most idyllic spot, I could have sat and looked at the view all day. There are loads of places to eat nearby or there is a bbq on the deck on the deck if you fancy cooking for your self. Carolin provides breakfast foods and you cook your own breakfast in the Shoreline - an actual bonus for us to be able to all sit around and relax in our PJ's while eating breakfast. One note of caution, if you are looking for high end luxury fittings etc., Barnum will not deliver that. But believe me, everything else makes up for it over and above what you expect - it is just such an idyllic place and Carolin, the wonderful woman, who is getting on in age, cannot do enough for you - we had to stop her a couple of times, she really does want to cater for your every need. We will definitely be back! Family from Vancouver, BC, July 2012.

the location, the view from the room, the peace and quiet, the innkeeper and the food - all wonderful. one of our new "happy places"

The Inn is quite comfortable and Carolin is very hospitable. We loved her breakfast and watching the eagles from any window. The Inn is located conveniently to some of the best hiking and birding spots on Camano Island. Who could want more?

I had a wonderful relaxing time at the Inn at Barnum Point. Very quiet, beautiful place overlooking the Puget Sound. My room had amazing views and set up perfectly so I could wake up and see the Sound. The owner is incredibly sweet and makes a killer breakfast. I recommend this place to anyone.

The suite was an outstanding deal. Two families with kids comfortably stayed in the spacious suite with stellar view. We spotted, and walked up very close to many bald eagles on the beach. They often flew right by our windows, and our little kids were very excited. Kitchen was very convenient to have, and the town nearby had surprising number of good restaurants. Carolin the inn keeper was very kind and offered interesting conversations. I also viewed the other smaller rooms which were very nice, but I strongly recommend the big suite, even for a couple with no kids.

We chose this place because it was so isolated. Great solitude with wildlife and the big water view. And an outstanding breakfast.

We started our first day of vacation on Camano Island by zip lining at Canopy Tours NW, and ended it with a wonderfully relaxing night at the Inn at Barnum Point. We were entertained during breakfast the next morning by a family of eagles eagerly waiting on the tide to go out so they could begin their own breakfast. Carolin is a warm and gracious host, and quickly helps you feel at home. Will definitely be returning for another visit. Thank you Carolin!

Charming friendly owner. Inn location was right by the water lovely view. The rooms were nice and clean, the bathroom was very very nice & big. However the outside of the Inn needs some tender loving care some upkeep and maintenance. All and all I recommend it.

This quaint B&B is located on a bluff overlooking Port Susan. It is a wonderful escape from urban stresses. Caroline the Inn Keeper is a wealth of historical documents and stories about the place and Camano Island. Breakfast is hearty and good. Accomadations are comfortable and clean.

Graciousness, comfort, beauty & peace. Incredible views of ocean from rooms. Charming hostess. Great cook! Incredible.

The area was just wonderful . The owner was a very sweet friendly lady. The view from our room was breathtaking. The eagles flying by and the herons were something to see. Breakfast was YUMMY ! Can't wait. To go again.

This lovely Inn was built specifically for a B&B. It sits just a few hundred yards from Port Susan Bay. We stayed in the Heron room with a spectacular view of the bay--the Cascades and Mt. Rainier. The room was clean and very quiet. (We were the only patrons there this late in the season!) Caroline, the innkeeper, was very accommodating. The breakfast consisted of coffee, fruit, sausage & bacon, muffins and eggs Florentine. Our only complaint about the room was there was only one comfy chair for seating. The room needs another comfy chair or a love seat for a couple to enjoy the view or sit and read by the fire. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, this is the place to stay. We'll be back.

My husband, myself & our two children stayed here for the first time, it was so beautiful & serene I didnt want to leave. Carolin was the best, such a wonderful hostess :) I will definitely go back when we can stay longer. Thank you for your hospitality !!!

Very relaxing. Hostess was accommodating. Room was spacious with great views. Had full kitchen, so could have made own dinner rather than going out.

This B&B is a great place to relax and enjoy country life the way it used to be. I was fascinated listening to Carolin tell of her family homesteading on Camano Island.

this older lady has a history and love for her b&b that is unrivaled and she is a great cook!

Everything was lovely about this place: the room, the view, the very friendly atmosphere which was mainly due to the warm welcome given us by our hostess, Carolin Barnum. Not to mention the fantastic breakfasts cooked to taste...

awesome view from the room .bald eagles flying by all morning then had a great breakfast would stay their again if I ever go back 5 stars. thank you, harvey tigue

Location, location, location. We stayed in the Heron room with 180 degree views over the sound. Carolin will make your stay stress free with a lovely breakfast to your liking. And, you get to hear about the history at Barnum Point. The shared fridge outside our room was a nice touch to keep your beer or wine cool.

My Husband and I spent our first weekend as a married couple here and loved it. We couldn't have been happier. The Views were AMAZING. On any given day we saw between 6 to 10 Eagles. We want to make it a yearly trip.

Rooms are very comfortable, have gorgeous views, and the inn keeper, Carolyne, is a sweetheart. I love the apartment, and attached bedroom. The refridgerator comes fully stocked with a variety of breakfast choices. The beach is amazing, and at low tide the eagles are plentiful, easily 10-15 will be hanging out on the rocks looking for seafood goodies.

We had the most amazing stay here at the Barnum Inn. It was a perfect honeymoon getaway. The Innkeeper, Carolin, was amazing. We will be back!!

Carolin was such a wonderful host. She has a very comfy inn on a beautiful property where you can watch eagles soar by and herons seeking fish. Her breakfasts are quite a treat; not only are they very delicious, but if you are interested she'll tell you about the island and her families history there. The Inn is a extremely peaceful place to rest for a weekend.

The room was very nice with a fantastic waterfront view. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was so delicious and filling. My lower mark on cleanliness only had to do with the dogs in the same area as the dining room. They are very nice big dogs, but they were shedding and that was hard to overlook.

Needing a quiet place to relax and regroup, I definitely found it at Carolin's B&B. After sitting on the rocky beach for several hours, I went back to my room and spent the evening listening to the waves and watching the birds while sitting in a comfortable easy chair. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was very tasty, and I really enjoyed getting to know Carolin and the history of the inn and barnum point. I will most definitely return!

This was a quiet, out-of-the-way spot on the edge of the water. The setting is peaceful and serene. We had a sunshine-y weekend complete with a full moon over the water...lovely. It was comfortable, clean, and had beautiful views out our room.

Very cordial host. Quiet peaceful property. Noisy fireplace

Unique and amazing place on Camino Island -- very rare situation and place to stay. The owners were incredible and provided a great breakfast. We felt very lucky to stay there!

It was a nice close get away for our anniversary! Nice hospitality and a beautiful view to enjoy.

A beautiful, tranquil location, with lovely rooms and great views. Our hostess, Carolin, was delightful - and an excellent cook. We enjoyed our conversations with her and walks about the place. We hope to return some day

Visiting with Carolin is learning Camano Island history firsthand. All that she has witnessed and enjoyed on the point is fascinating. The setting is wonderful, with views of mount Rainier, Cascades and Olympics. From your windows you can enjoy birds, the view of the cove and stars at night. If you get up before the sun rises you will get some amazing pictures.

It couldn't have been better. Excellent!

We enjoyed the excellent breakfasts and being able to sit and chat with our hostess. The view of the bay and being able to watch the bald eagles and blue herons was extraordinary.

We recently stayed at the Inn At Barnum Point. We loved the Shorebird Room it was awesome to get up in the morning and walk down to the beach and watch the eagles flying around. The sunsets were out of this world too. This place i s awesome and you have to visit!! Trevor and Monika

Carolin goes out of her way to see that your stay is pleasant and worthwhile. Good Breakfasts and Great Waterfront View(s). Keep up the Good Work, Carolin!

A very lovely quiet place for a little get away. Peaceful and Beautiful, couldn't be more relaxing.

Fantastic view, fantastic value, very friendly hostess very private. We saw deer, eagles, rabbits, birds but very few people.

Fantastic view, fantastic value, very friendly hostess, very private, we saw deer, eagles, rabbits, and birds. Phenomenal people.

The inn sits on top of a bluff overlooking Puget Sound with a view of Mt. Rainier in the distance. One morning we walked on the beach and watched a couple of bald eagles in a tree. After hiking at Camano Island State Park we came back to our room to relax. Looking out the window at low tide there were about 6 bald eagles on the rocks by the water. As we sat in our room the eagles flew by just out our window! It was so peaceful.

The innkeepers were exceptionally nice. Wonderful food and service. The house was beautiful and warm. The beds were GREAT! We consider this place a second home.
