Our stay here was a birthday gift and I have to say that I don't think I could have had a better birthday. It was absolutely amazing. We stayed in the Lodge and had a truely magnificant time. The place is quaint and beautiful, clean with wonderful accomidations and amenities. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a really relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We stayed in the "Log Cabin", one of a handful of private free-standing cabins on the 25 acres or so of wooded property Guest House owns. It was an absolutely charming place, with wood-burning stove, fully stocked fridge and equipped kitchen (meaning we could make our own snacks like popcorn to have while watching a borrowed DVD in front of the fire, and our own breakfast in our PJs at our leisure the next morning - no alarm setting or hobnobbing with other B&B guests at a predefined early hour). This "make your own breakfast" approach, however, could easily be a negative - breakfast fixings were basic: cereal options, fruit, pre-bought backed goods, but with a nice, homey touch: fresh eggs from their own chickens. Those wanting to be waited on with a typical gourmet B&B breakfast, will not find that experience here. You also have to wash your own dishes - again, not the "norm" at a $200+/night inn- this expectation is more along the lines of hostelling rather than upscale inn! I didn't mind, and frankly, preferred making my own coffee given that I was able to wake up late. The cabin felt like a true home, and was ultra-cozy with one of the most fluffy and comfortable beds I've slept in. The loft space (for the kids, or kid at heart) allows you to play "Little House" with verisimilitude. The pond outside, deck right off the bedroom, and beautiful grounds all would contribute to my return, though I think the price was a tad on the high side.

Once upon a time people dreamed of romantic places like this one... but thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Creger Family, they invite us to step into their fairytale cottages and create magical memories all our own.

I am a professional photographer and world traveler. My husband and I have stayed in numerous B&Bs in various countries and write to say, "Guest House Log Cottages are exceptional!" Our first stay was in the Kentucky Pine Cottage which we thought was the grandest place of all until we revisited and stayed in The Lodge. Each cottage has its own unique charm and lacks of nothing a guest could need. Ambient lighting and tranquil music greeted us as we walked in. We were seriously impressed with how immediately we felt relaxed and at home. We loved every inch of antique history we discovered at each turn and felt privileged to be trusted with such treasures. I was so impressed with the decor, I photographed every room to preserve the beauty in print. (See attached photos.)

Our intention was to dine in the cabin, so we purchased groceries for our 2-night stay. We were stunned to find how well stocked every drawer and cupboard was (more spices than we have in our own kitchen!) and discovered the refrigerator contained many of the items we'd brought. The dining room table (overlooking the deck and duck pond) and the kitchen table had been beautifully set...fresh fruit...lovely china and stemware. The staff is to be commended for their artistic decorating talents and their obvious attention to detail.

Our stay here far exceeded our expectations. While some visitors may not have enjoyed this unique style of accomodation, we loved it and playfully considered barricading ourselves in until the Innkeeper forced us to leave.

We have never posted a comment for any other B&B but felt compelled to do so here simply because it is such a unique and exceptional place . The negative comments posted surprised us, as our experience was quite different. We hope you will overlook those complaints and give the Guest House Log Cottages the opportunity to pamper you exquisitely. While some consider their rates a bit high, the quality and service is higher.

One last comment: We give a most heartfelt "Thank you!" to Doug Creger for discovering and returning my delicate diamond and pearl necklace left in the pocket of a robe. How ever did you find it?!

"Every detail.... " that was how.

We stayed in "The Lodge," the largest log house in their collection, and we loved every minute! The woodsy setting was beautiful- feeding the ducks and geese on the pond from the deck was a treat! The house is full of unusual antiques, conversation starters! My spouse and I spent our two night stay enjoying the fire in the fireplace, the huge jacuzzi upstairs next to the very comfortable bed, and the peace and quiet. We only saw another couple once and only for a couple of minutes. (We hate staying in places where we can hear other guests slamming doors, walking down halls, and otherwise impinging on our solitude.) This retreat was full of peace and tranquility! We were very comfortable, the refrigerator was well-stocked with a variety of breakfast foods, and we hated leaving. We can't wait to go back! While you are there, have lunch at Whidbey Pies Cafe at Greenbank Farm, just down the road! Take a pie back to the log cottage! Scrumptious!
