    Autumn stay on Queen Anne

    A lovely stay at Inn of Twin Gables

    September 15, 2012

    We spent 3 lovely days at this turn of the century bed & breakfast. We were impressed with the home and the surrounding gardens. The owner, Katie, was warm and outgoing. She welcomed us into her home and introduced us to the other guests. She is an amazing chef and each day we were presented with a delicious breakfast. We spent our days exploring the treasures of Seattle and were delighted to return to Inn of Twin Gables in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Katie”-))

    Quiet and Lovely B&B

    September 15, 2012

    We spent three weeknights at Inn of Twin Gables with our cousins. Katie was very hosptiable and kind, letting us use her kitchen to make drinks that we shared on her deck out back in the evening. Our rooms were lovely. Being a shower person, I surprisingly even enjoyed the little bathtub under the slanted ceiling of the gable in our room. The details of the house are time honored and very quaint and pretty. The beds! were remarkable. Let me tell you that no one slid to the middle in our bed which was great. Wonderful sheets and a great sleep! The breakfasts were delicious and on time each morning. Katie is a very good cook and it was evident each day. WiFi a plus, never a problem with connection.

    Refreshing week in Seattle

    August 27, 2012

    I stayed at the Inn of Twin Gables for four nights while in town for work. The service and breakfasts were very good, as Katie, the owner was flexible on arrival time, and both she and Sam cooked up a variety of tasty breakfasts in the morning. The location has good walking access to the ship canal.

    Three nights at the Inn of Twin Gables

    August 06, 2012

    We were very happy with everything except for the shower. There was no shower curtain, no safety rail and only a hand held shower in our room. Without the curtain or the safety rail it was extremely difficult to use the hand held shower without getting water everywhere.

    Great breakfast

    March 07, 2012

    Katie cooks an amazing breakfast. We had two of them and enjoyed them immensely. She is also a very likable hostess. The house is vintage 1915 and a little quirky but interesting and very comfortable.
