If you appreciate the intimacy of B & Bs but aren't thrilled by rooms festooned with Laura Ashley, give the Camano Island Inn a call. Owners Kari and Jon Soth have transformed an historic boarding house into a luxurious six-room bed and breakfast that defies the standards of traditional B & Bs.
A cozy bedroom
Bedroom windows offer spectacular views of the Saratoga Passage, while the decadent featherbeds, piles of pillows and heated tile floors in every bathroom will help you wind down into the rhythm of island life. Need a massage? They have an on-site massage room and a masseuse on call. How about a serene early-morning boat trip? A couple of kayaks wait down by the water, just steps away from the house.
View of the water
Follow the stairs and find an empty beach that invites wandering and explorations into the secret lives of the crabs, clams, snails and barnacles that line its shores. Any chills can be warmed away in front of the fireplace in a cozy living room filled with a Pacific Northwest glass art collection.
Kari and Jon will help you find ways to spend your time, or if you prefer they'll step back and leave everything in your hands. Rooms start at $120 per night; for contact information, go to the Camano Island accomodation page.
