We spent a few days at this B&B to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The property is immaculate and the hospitality was delightful. We were welcomed by Pauline with a little gift of lavendar soap that is made onsite - which was a lovely way to start off the weekend. We stayed in the General Washing Suite which was very spacious and comfortable, and included everything we could need. We were up early on the first day to drive to Port Townsend for our whale watching trip (highly recommended as a fabulous way to see the Sound) and Pauline had a delicious packed breakfast all ready for us. Breakfast on the other mornings were served in the sun room where the view is spectacular and the food was scrumptious. The cookies/muffins that were available to snack on were also divine! We were lucky with the weather and really enjoyed sitting in the sun chatting with Pauline and George, comparing CoVid stories. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and convenient to all the trails, book now. You won't regret it.…
What a wonderful, restful, peaceful place to stay! The building is a recreation of George Washington's Mt. Vernon outside with a gorgeous design inside, including a curving staircase to the upper level that allows a view from the front door straight through the main room and piazza out to Victoria, B.C. and the Salish Sea. In the main room downstairs you can find cookies, biscotti, coffee, tea, and other refreshments in the evening; in the library is a working harpsichord and a collection of books about the first President; outside are beautifully maintained grounds for an evening stroll. Dan personally roasts the coffee (which makes a robust start to the day) and Janet prepared our breakfast. Dan and Janet also oversee a lavender farm operation and craft many lavender products in-house. A perfect get-away!…
We had a fantastic stay at this B&B. The attention to detail and high level of comfort made our stay wonderful. The breakfasts were delicious and our room was finished to the highest standards. We would highly recommend the George Washington Inn
We live in Chicago. My wife Lisa and I spend about two weeks each year visiting my Mom and Family in Port Angeles. About two years ago, we read in Peninsula Daily News about the Northwest Colonial Festival, and its venue, the George Washington Inn and Estate. Intrigued, we decided to stay at the George Washington Inn from the evening of August 12 until the morning of August 14, 2020. We were belatedly celebrating our 35th Anniversary. The George Washington Inn and its premises are quiet and beautiful. The Inn itself is elegant, but in a non-pretentious way that earns the title of its namesake, "George Washington." Artifacts, and reading resources about George Washington and his life and times, abound at the Inn. The entire estate is spotless and comfortable. There is a gift shop in the Carriage House. We were served breakfast on the back porch, as we looked out over the yard and watched big ships sail by on the Pacific Ocean Strait of Juan de Fuca. The breakfasts were freshly prepared, delicious, healthy, unique, and just the right portions. Pauline was wonderful, kind and personable. Great coffee roasted on the premises finished breakfast. We were ready to start our day after a fine breakfast and a “Cup of George.” You could spend all day just relaxing at the George Washington Inn and Estate. The view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca – morning, daytime and especially at sunset – and the mountain views, all show the glory of the Lord's creation. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. This is also a working lavender farm. Bees also work on the farm to make honey. The lavender smells beautiful. We purchased lavender products at the gift shop in the Carriage house. (And some of the George Washington Coffee we were served at breakfast). Not far away are mountain hiking and beaches. If you head up to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park, be sure to stop at McPhee’s on the way there or back. When we go to the beach (we have usually gone to Third Beach, this year we had to go to Rialto) we stop at Three Rivers for a burger and malt. In nearby Port Angeles we shop at Swain’s General Store. The locals do so out of practicality, but for us as visitors, it is a slice of life. When in Port Angeles we enjoy a home-style lunch or a late breakfast at Shirley’s, or a more upscale dining experience at the Chestnut Cottage. There is great shopping in nearby Sequim. Good restaurants at which we have eaten: Hi-Way 101 Diner (great burgers and soups), Black Bear Café, the Oak Table, and the Dockside Grill at John Wayne Marina. George Washington Inn’s owners, Dan and Janet Abbott, are thoughtful, thorough, dignified and kind. The George Washington Inn is also the Abbott’s home, and we are thankful to have been welcomed as their guests. Dan and Janet made possible for us a blessed, joyful, and peaceful few days, and we hope to come back again. Dan and Janet, thank you for welcoming us into your home, and for sharing the passion of your labor with us! Thank you, and God’s Blessings to you! Rev. Mark D. Post Mrs. Lisa L. Post…
This is a remarkable property on every level! Our hosts have created a stunning recreation of George Washington's Mount Vernon, only far better! The historical artifacts and artwork make it easy to imagine that you are actually enjoying a stay at Mount Vernon, but with all of the modern amenities, such as jetted tubs and fireplaces that work at the flip of a switch! I don't know which we enjoyed more...roaming the roomy and well appointed interior rooms and verandas or the beach and gardens! One cannot write a review without also mentioning the warm and inviting hospitality of the hosts. We enjoyed delicious full breakfasts each morning and fresh chocolate chip cookies any time we had an urge! This is one we will definitely do again!
