We've never done a B&B before and my wife and I were very pleased. Linda was absolutely perfect. She is so sweet. The house is beautiful. Breakfast, I'd put up against anywhere. My wife has dietary needs and The first thing Linda asked was if we need anything special...we didn't have to ask. And it was delicious. Last, we stayed in a small cabin that was located a couple hundred yards from the house. Rustic? Yes. Perfect? Absolutely!! We will come back!!|Oh and the Tulips were beautiful too. :) More...

We were lucky to get a booking only a day ahead for one of the two units in this B&B. Knowing that the access road up to the B&B might be somewhat challenging (although we managed fine in an ordinary sedan) we picked up up deli fixings for a picnic supper at the wonder QFC supermarket in Stanwood. Our double queen room opened directly onto one end of a deck running across the entire front of the house. The king room unit opened up at the far end, so there was lots of privacy. We had talked to the hostess earlier in that afternoon, and were warned that she might not be home when we arrived, but she would leave info to find our room, and to make ourselves at home. So this is what happened, and we were greeted with the calmest irish setter you could imagine. We were enjoying the wonderful view on the deck when Linda arrived, and we had a nice chat. She and her husband have run the B&B for (I think she said) 30 years, so have it down pat, and I am sure have seen everything possible in the guests they have had over the years! We loved the view and our dinner, and a soak in the hot tub afterwards. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and a terrific breakfast simply added to that. We were lucky to have a very interesting couple for conversation with at breakfast, and we were dragging ourselves away around 10:00am. It was a very easy drive out to Anacortes, where we were taking the ferry to Vancouver Island. More...

I cannot describe how beautiful and wonderful this place is, nor compliment the hostess enough but I will try!My husband and I had our wedding here; ceremony on the lawn, reception on the porch. The yard is large and lush, with many areas excellent for photographs. A huge porch covered with beautiful planters of blooming flowers overlooks a scenic view around the back of the house. The hostess Linda was lovely to work with. Upon our first meeting she was prepared with a small presentation showing previous weddings that she had hosted there, complete with plenty of photos to showcase the space when it was all gussied-up. Linda's many experiences with hosting weddings are apparent in her supreme calmness, thoughtfulness and well-preparedness. As I was a bride somewhat unprepared and unaware of the task that lay before me, Linda helped to guide me towards priorities and frame a timeline. She was able to meet with us a few times before the wedding to help us work out details and make sure everyone was happy.The venue was very affordable especially compared to places in the Whatcom County area. Furthermore Linda offers catering for weddings, which we opted for, which simplified things immensely. On the wedding day itself, Linda and her staff were very pleasant, professional and attentive to details. The day went very smoothly. The food was AMAZING. It was very flavorful and cooked just right. We had salmon and even my mom, who does not like salmon, went back for seconds. We got so many compliments on the venue. The whole atmosphere was just perfect. I am so happy that we were able to be married here, and I am so grateful for Linda and everything she did to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue in the area, I highly recommend Whispering Firs B&B Lodge. More...

I recently spent five nights at Whispering Firs while attending a painting workshop at Dakota Arts in Mt. Vernon - and I loved it! You need to be prepared for the 1/2 mile dirt road that leads you to Whispering Firs, but let this be encouragement as a unique and wonderful place awaits you! The owners built this place themselves over a lifetime in Mt. Vernon, and they have created a place of extraordinary comfort and beauty. The view is spectacular, the breakfasts are delicious and served at whatever time you request, the beds and down pillows are cozy, and the quiet is a light sleeper's dream! Every evening I felt like I was coming home to friends and family where I was treated like an honored guest. And despite its delightfully off the beaten path location, I could make it to middle of Mt. Vernon in less than 15 minutes. Linda and Vic - I'll be back! More...

I'd like to be able to tell you what the best thing about the Whispering Firs is but given that there are so many great things about it its tough to decide. Linda and Vic are great hosts. We had a tremendous time just sitting around and talking with them throughout our stay. The food was outstanding! We took advantage of their dinner offering, very delicious pheasant, with no shortage of side dishes, to include homegrown corn, and finished off with fresh, warm homemade blackberry pie. Breakfast was equally up to the task, and not your standard B & B kind of offering, but an authentic European dish (forgive me Linda for not remembering what it was called). Our room was large and well appointed with antique pieces (so much so it almost made me a little nervous about touching anything for fear of breaking it), and also had a large sitting area in the bathroom. Then there was the view, just plain awesome! It was actually difficult getting to sleep that night because we really just wanted to sit up in bed and enjoy the view out the expansive picture window out across the bay towards Whibdey Island.
