The view is spectacular. The house is beautifully decorated (and guests are encouraged to use it). The bedrooms are large - extremely comfortable. Bfast was this gourmet experience that involved dishes that looked and tasted like they came out of Gourmet magazine. The innkeepers (Linda and Don) are completely delightful. I went kayaking with Don and it was amazing experience.... more

This is a jewl in the forrest. It's off the beaten path enough that you don't feel there is any other facilities around yet it's only 15-20 minutes to the 5 interstate and another 20 into Olympia. The Inn is totally charming with fully developed landscaping out of an English Country cottage. Linda and Don have the secret of making... more

This B&B is a treasure. The house and garden are beautifully designed and the breakfasts were delicious. The highlight? Kayaking the Nisqually Reach with our innkeeper as our guide. It was our first time and we found that the kayaks were comfortable, stable watercraft. We enjoyed seeing a seal and her pup and many types of birds as we learned... more

From the peaceful surroundings to the kayaks to the homemade cookies and choice of hot beverage at night when we returned - everything beckoned us to stay. Don and Linda provide all the... more

This was our first B&B experience and we were very impressed. The rooms and exterior were actually nicer than they appeared on the internet, as were the gardens and the spectacular view. We enjoyed our visit and plan to return whenever possible. The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully kept--and the breakfast was excellent. I can't think of anything that... more

My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent quality of our room and the common areas as well as the excellent service. Fantastic view of Puget Sound, engaging walk on the beach and the ensuite gas fireplace was an unexpected treat. The Rumford fireplace in the living room was a converation piece all by itself! Kayaking available for those with... more

The Inn at Mallard Cove is more than just a bed-and-breakfast, it is a destination unto itself. The several-acre wooded grounds extend to the waters of Puget Sound, where, true to its name, hundreds of ducks pass the time. Kayaking from the inn's beach is available. The inn itself is a large, meticulously-maintained English Tudor home, authentically decorated in the... more

Well this surpassed all my expectations from the wonderfully appointed rooms and luxurious amenities to the kind and personable owners and great breakfast. I would definitely recommend this inn to anyone without any reservation, and we purchased a gift stay for a friend on the spot we were so impressed. -- more
