Sunnyside Inn Bed & Breakfast

We stayed 2 nights in the Jean room in August 2012. It was a wonderful room, quiet, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and Don was most accomodating. We will definitely stay there again.

My wife and I stayed in the Jean room the night of our wedding. The room was beautiful. The King side bed was so comfortable. The double spa tub was really relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. Kristi made us breakfast the next morning, and if you left the table hungry it was your own fault. Don, Karen, and Kristi are great hosts. I would recommend staying at this bed and breakfast to anybody.

Karen and Don were wonderful during our stay--friendly and attentive, treating us like family. We stayed in the Alice Room, which was comfortable, roomy, and private, but which also had easy access to all of the amenities. After 41 years of marriage, we can tell you that we have never had a better experience at a B&B. When you visit, tell them that Ray and Dorothy from A-Million-Stories, Inc. recommended them.

We chose Sunnyside Inn B&B based on good reviews, central location and reasonable price for our Yakima Valley Wine Tour vacation. Their central location to all the AVA's was our original reason to choose this location, but it turns out we were also pleasantly surprised by the cozy accomodations, the super friendly owners, the wonderful other guests and the quiet town. Don and Karen were perfect - super friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Just minutes from the freeway, the Inn is on a sleepy street, so it was very quiet and restful. Sunnyside itself doesn't have much in the way of entertainment, but it is central to some of the most beautiful destinations in WA State. We would definitely stay at the Sunnyside Inn again!

The only limitation for the Sunnyside Inn is Sunnyside. A decaying farm community not far enough away from the old highway and fast food. However, just enjoying the hearty breakfast made by Karen and Don daily and the comfort of the Jacuzzi and TemprPedic mattress, along with the wineries in the vicinity, all make the visit worthwhile.

The house was attractive, and the rooms very comfortable, especially the bed. It was much better than any hotel in the area could possibly offer for the price. The breakfast was made to order, filling and fresh, the only difference from other BnB's is there were not the lovely fresh homemade pastries you come to expect. If I were in the area I would stay there again, without a doubt. But, they need to work on their customer service. The male owner cooked breakfast, interjecting various complaints about the help, local government, etc. He was busy making your food, but you did not get the sense he was really enjoying making your food: it was a job not a passion. The woman owner, who was very, very nice on the phone...was no where to be found. The place sorely lacked the feminine hostess touch in the mornings. I felt rested, I felt well-fed, I felt I had a bargain, but I did not feel special. And, for the price, I guess that is ok.

I have never stayed in a bed and breakfast before. Upon arriving in town later in the evening, I was a little bit nervous- as I am a younger female who travels alone for work. The room I stayed in was Karen- and far exceeded my expectations. It was huge, cozy, had great amenities in the room-including the great fireplace, and double occupancy jetted tub which I enjoyed to myself! What made this stay so enjoyable was the hospitality of Kristi. She directed me to a great local brewery- Snipes Mountain Brewery, which had great food and good beer. She was very helpful in answering any questions- and the breakfast in the morning was by far one of the best breakfast's I have eaten in a long time- it was very healthy, organic- and FAR exceeded my expectations. I was happy all day long, not to mention she had homemade zucchini bread which is my favorite. She took the time to write down wineries, restaurants and a cheese farm I should visit on the rest of my stay. I HIGHLY recommend anyone staying here while passing through this area, or staying for a while. Will definitely be back!

We arrived a little early for our scheduled check in time, and Karen was right there to meet us. She checked us in and showed us around before taking us to our room. I was impressed at all the little extras available to guests, from the ice cream in the freezer to the microwave popcorn, soda fountain and fresh home-made apple crisp! There was also an entire library of current movies to choose from to watch in our room, board games, etc. We had the Alice room, which was on the lower level. The room was clean, comfortable and well designed. The bed was amazing, and the two person jacuzzi bath was great. Breakfast is in the common area with the other guests, and Don cooked for us. My partner has an endless appetite, and Don kept the food coming til he was full! The food was delicious and prepared with care - waffles with fresh peaches and toasted pecans, fruit, sausage and juice. Overall, this little B&B far exceeded my expectations due to the wonderful service of Don & Karen and the little extra touches they provide.

The owners are delightful and we picked up some great tips (local restaurants, where to get excellent tamales). Great full breakfast with picked-from-the-garden tomatoes. The room was very comfortable and the location is quiet, even though it is in town.

An excellent place to stay, and the hosts are terrific. Highly recommended

We have stayed at the inn on several occasions and found it to be a very friendly and well run establishment. When ever we are in the area, we always stay here. The food is beyond what you normally receive and more than can be consumed. Don and Karen are always eager to please and easy to work with. Overall, a great place!

This is a very comfortable and pleasant place. Don and Karen are very friendly folks and made us feel right at home. At breakfast (varied and delicious), we had the singular opportunity to chat with a winemaker who was also staying at the B & B. We highly recommend the Sunnyside.

We came to wine country to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and chose the Sunnyside Inn because we had stayed there 2 years ago. We loved the quiet, the amenities, and the friendliness of the innkeepers. The room was beautiful and comfortable, the food delicious, and the overall stay enjoyable. When we are in wine country, this is where we will stay.

As soon as we checked in i was told that they were "upgrading my room because the room i reserved was not available". The young man said he couldn't tell me why because he didnt really work there, just helping out. He showed us the room and it was not as nice as the room i reserved. It was lacking the fireplace, private front porch, and it had a smaller TV. I told him that I had confirmed previously that i was getting the room we had payed for, and I'd like to know why it suddenly wasnt available. He said he would make a phone call and find out. He came back a few minutes later and said its available now, and took us to our much nicer room we reserved. Everything else about the Inn was wonderful, but i just felt that that was a very shady thing to do.

When we read the above review, we thought there must be a misunderstanding. You see, we only offer a few rooms to be booked online and Jean, the overall favorite and most requested, is not one of them. When it came time for these guests to check in, it was thought that they would enjoy a larger flat screen TV (50” versus 42“), a wet bar instead of a dry bar, and the generally quieter part of the house Jean is in. The only amenity available in the Karen room not in the Jean room is the fireplace, which doesn’t usually see much use in August (the month of this reservation). Especially in summer, the Jean room is an upgrade over the Karen room and we try to give guests the best available during their stay. As Erik, who is here from the Netherlands, has not been helping at our family-run inn long, he was simply following my instructions. On the busy weekend, I neglected to call the guests to double check the upgrade and I apologize for that. We hope they enjoyed their weekend in wine country after the check in mix up.

I booked this last-minute on the 4th of July, and what a blessing it turned out to be! Kristi, the owners' daughter, took wonderfully good care of us. Scrumptious filling breakfasts (including gluten-free meals for me) served on a lovely-set table in a home filled with palpable love & care. Sheila tidied my room for me, making it so inviting to come to the 2nd night. I highly recommend Sunnyside Inn B&B for a getaway to Eastern Washington it you want to be out of the City (about 1/2-way between Tri Cities and Yakima) and yet still close-in to hiking, bicycling, walking, and wine country. I left to escape Seattle on the 4th (dreary, rainy, cool) and drove East over the mountains into Yakima Valley (aka Heaven!). Stay for a night - stay for a week. Yakima Valley will seduce you!

Great place in a small town. Convenient location to the Yakima Valley wineries. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Would recommend this place and would stay again.

It was very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our morning breakfast was excellent. I would recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

This was a wonderful way to end our tour of Washington Win Country. Our hosts upgraded our room at no charge (It was Monday, and we were the only guests). spacious, clean, accommodations and breakfast not to be forgotten.

never stayed at a B&B before, I didn't know what to expect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great! Lots of tings to do, in-room movies, TV, games, common kitchen amenities, spa tub
