    A fantastic old mansion in a great part of Seattle, close to shops, stores and downtown. The rooms are clean and the furnishings wonderful. The maid keep everything beautiful but the Inn Keeper is less than the building deserves.

    The mansion was beautiful, cozy and enchanting. We stayed only one night, but for that amount of time, it felt like we were in a different time or someplace other than beautiful Seattle. The surrounding area was charming and inviting, especially with all the snow that fell during our stay. We wouldn't mind staying there again!


    Brenda and Glen were fantastic, gracious hosts!

    The Shafer-Baillie Mansion is by far the best B&B on Seattle's Capital Hill (we've stayed at at least four others, which shall remain nameless). Entering the front gate, you feel like you're stepping back in time, but the hospitality is all 21st century, from the room amenities to the info on what to do in Seattle to the decadent Dilettante chocolate beans on the sideboard and the always-available coffee, tea, fruit and sweets. And the beds---oh, the lovely silky sheets! HZ, Atlanta
