I had an absolutely amazing and serene stay at the Sehome Garden Inn. The room, living space, and bathroom (as well as the entirety of the home) are all beautifully designed and curated. Walter and Joseph are incredible hosts. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to return.

Definitely worth experiencing this place.

One of the best BnB inn I have stayed in for a while. I am from California and I was worried if this would be a good inn but the owners, room, and the property was mesmerizing. The owner was very friendly and had organized their place really well. I am coming back again with my husband.

Such a relaxing stay in an absolutely beautiful setting with two of the nicest hosts I've met. I'm really hoping my daughter picks Western Washington so we can stay here each time we visit. It feels off the beaten track but there are walkable restaurants, hikes and the school nearby. The friendly pets were an added bonus. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The hosts provided excellent customer service, very caring to my disabled mother and my dog. The unit was quiet, clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Loved the walk-in rain shower. The location is walkable with restaurants nearby. I hope to return in the summer to see the gardens in full bloom.

A wonderful stay

The proprietor was lovely and so welcoming. He had the house wonderfully fixed up for the holidays. Everything was top notch. We were not able to take full advantage as we were only briefly in the area to visit family and hope to go back.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sehome Garden Inn. The home is very comfortable, and the room is nicely equipped and private. The bed was super comfortable! Breakfast was delicious, definitely a highlight of our stay, and the hosts were great. The location is private but very easy access to local amenities. Definitely would stay here again.
