Reviews of The Bluff on Whidbey

Magnificent view. Quiet/peaceful with attentive hosts. Great breakfast.

As a place to relax in beautiful gardens with views of water and Mt. Baker it was terrific. We did not pay for a sumptuous breakfast but got a pastry which we added to what was ain the room. Just fine.

What was not to like? We did have to drive 20-25 minutes to Anacortes for dinner but Anacortes is fun and has good places to eat. Didn't try Oak Harbor, not as snazzy a town.

The breakfast was delicious and we had a beautiful view.

Everything was perfect

The Bluff had everything...peace, tranquility, quiet, birds singing, beautiful sunrise, ocean view, amazing fresh baked goodie to start the day. Well appointed, very comfortable room with the sitting area looking out at the ocean, it had plenty of space for the three of us. The quality of the supplies provided from the robes and slippers to the toilet paper was top notch!!

Had a hard time figuring out how to plug in the cord for the kettle and toaster as the cords were too short to reach the outlet. A little ingenuity and away we went. Mentioned it to the host so I'm sure it will be easily handled for the next guests.

A cosy room with a great view! The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! We really did get away from it all!

it is a really magical place to stay. Lots of privacy and beautiful views and amazing garden. We loved using the hot tub at night

it was expensive but worth it

This was an introverts dream B&B. I only saw the host twice and only very briefly during the entire stay. We stayed in the Salish room, and while we did not book the "suite", the room had an AMAZING view from the room (from the bed, main room, private deck, etc). It was quite conveniently located on the island and SO nice!! Heated floors in the (very nice) bathroom, remote-controlled propane fireplace, hot tub right outside and stocked kitchenette. I've always avoided B&B"s because of the "personalized" and extroverted services that hosts of B&Bs seem to adhere too. BUT here all communications I had were through text or the app. They asked for basic plans but weren't pushy or nosy. The room hosted binoculars to view the bay (also available on the bluff), woolen blankets for the chilly nights or days relaxing about the property, umbrellas for damp days, and various informational booklets and brochures to acclimate you to the island enjoyments. My name welcomed me to my room via chalkboard We enjoyed an amazing breakfast by them that I'm still bragging about. I honestly cannot wait to visit again. Introverted I may be, it's apparent the hosts were not adverse to the personalized experience. While in our stay, another couple arrived (to the 2 room B&B) and were provided a full tour (noticed while in our booked hot-tub hour; yes again, hot-tub was present). The grounds were welcoming and BEAUTIFUL! The views of the bay, the gardens, and prospect of the home were all elegantly situated for a gorgeous experience. We enjoyed 1 full breakfast with them and it was top-notch. The presentation, taste, and delivery left nothing to be desired. And the baked complimentary pastries we SO good. Truly, this was an experience to enjoy.

I only have ONE complaint. One of their chickens (feathered-feet) on the property has severely under-maintainenced talons. Her toes literally turn out due to extremely long talons which can easily be remedied with trimming or alternated perches (we have cinderblocks which helped the talon wear). They only had a tire for dust baths, which is completely fine, but confined chickens need enrichment and roosting options. The chicken in question was likely an olive egger or Blue Gem, (grey and wary) so really easy to spot. None of the other 10 were bad, but 1or 2 needed talon care. I understand the need to confine the chickens to reduce the chance of predation by arial threats. As a chicken farmer, I struggled with the chicken care.

Huge room, beautiful view, delicious breakfast, owner was wonderful. We were extremely impressed with everything!

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary (weekend trip). The view was beautiful, there’s a large window in the room that we enjoyed every morning while eating homemade pastries made by the staff. The staff was very kind and communication was great. The room was cozy, they had a balloon for us and a small complimentary bottle of wine. The hot tub was relaxing, we enjoyed our stay :)

I was hoping it would be a little more quiet, but there was a dog upstairs we could hear at night and a loud chicken. The hammock was broken as well, which I was looking forward to.

This small bed and breakfast is in a beautiful location, the view from the room is outstanding. The room has everything you need, is very well equipped and pleasantly decorated. It is very quiet and the garden facing the room is lovely. We also got every morning a couple of delicious fresh made pastries which changed daily! The jacuzzi was also excellent.

I liked everything!

Fantastic property in a stunning location. The garden is unbelievable! The owners were helpful and friendly without being too interfering. They also cooked breakfast on a couple of days which were highly recommended.

Nothing but the property is in a peaceful backwater so you need to drive for restaurants etc

Your mom's recipe for that coffee cake was scrumptious. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The view was everything. The room was comfy and cozy and the owners are just awesome. They are close by incase anything is needed of them. They are very kind and welcoming

The view is amazing, close to conveniences, top notch breakfast treats (especially the savory scone). Very much enjoyed the hot tub with view. Gardens weren't blooming yet but the grounds were still amazing. Very relaxing to sit in Adirondack by water. We will be back!

Can't think of a thing!

The property was beautiful, the space restful. The homemade pastries each morning were amazing! Very close to Deception Pass and close enough to town to make a quick trip in to grab dinner.

If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs because of the chickens (no rooster.) With ear plugs it was fine.

My week’s stay at the Bluff on Whidbey was amazing in every way. Robin and Jim were wonderful hosts who made sure that every detail was perfect. The location on the bluff overlooking the water, with Mt Baker in the background, made for some gorgeous pictures. I spent several hours there each day, soaking in the beauty and peacefulness. The location was also perfect because it was close to other scenic spots I wanted to explore….La Conner, Anacortes, Deception Pass Bridge, Oak Harbor and Coupeville. I had the upper half of the house, the Cicero Room, so it had a great balcony that overlooked the amazing garden and the water. Every amenity I might’ve needed was provided, the bed extremely comfortable and a homemade pastry delivered to my door each morning. I couldn’t have been happier or more relaxed!

This is a beautiful BnB! It has a gorgeous view of the water, beautiful gardens, is peaceful, private, and even has a lovely hot tub! We really enjoyed our stay. We ordered their hot breakfast for both mornings, which was absolutely delicious and just what we needed. They delivered it to our room and included a wonderful mango smoothie. We were recovering from the passing of my sister and her husband and it was exactly the beautiful, peaceful place we needed. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely space to share.

The view! The hot tub! The space! The breakfasts. It was a perfect stay. Excellent hosts with a gorgeous property.

Fabulous location, view, quiet, nicely appointed room, beautiful gardens, gracious hosts, hot tub, fire pit with comfy chairs, well placed hammocks under soaring evergreens, soft sea breeze, blazing sun, plump chickens and welcoming dogs. What's not to like?

Every detail from comfort, spaciousness, astonishing views, delicious breakfasts and use of the beautiful gardens were thoughtfully provided. A truly peaceful and regenerative getaway.

No complaints whatsoever.
