Inn Details
Bay Views ~ Fireplaces ~ Private Jacuzzis ~ 2 Story Guest Cottage
Surrounded by hundred year old trees, cascading greenery and captivating views of the Sound, you may forget that your hilltop hideaway is actually an urban inn. Downtown shops and theatres, Antique Row and waterfront restaurants are all within a few blocks of this remarkable garden retreat.
Victorian Opulence with Coffeehouse Flair
Chinaberry Hill has been featured in Tacoma's Grand Home Tours and several publications, including Conde Nast Traveler, Sunset Magazine, Travel & Leisure, Amazing Getaways of the Pacific Northwest, Northwest best Places, Best Places to Kiss Northwest, and Romantic Days & Nights in Seattle. The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest tells its readers: "This is one groovy place…from the oval window to the rounded porch… better-than-restored, with décor that’s bold, eclectic, opulent, and inviting. A delightful place, with secluded garden, hilltop privacy, yet great urban access." "Hearty Breakfasts & Serious Coffee"
Breakfast is a multi-course feast, serving up such favorites as buttermilk blueberry pancakes, orange croissant French toast, ham and swiss quiche with mango-peach salsa, garlic potatoes and peppercrust bacon -- and plenty of fresh-ground "serious" coffee, of course. :)
Complimentary cookies, refreshments, video library, free high speed wireless internet access throughout the inn and grounds.
