Eagle Aerie

Eagle Aerie is fantastic! The view from the deck over Admiralty Inlet is breathtaking. The gorgeous property has a number of trails, one of them leading via switchbacks, down the bluff to the beach. I’ve never seen so many hummers, eagles and goldfinches in one place. There is only one room available. It is comfortable and unlike any room you’ve ever rented! The owner serves breakfast every morning, and it was fun to sit with him and hear travel tails — he’s been to 110 countries!

This B&B is in a fantastic location. The views are astounding and the trails are private. It’s also very close to town which is nice.
I took my mom here for her 51^st birthday. I wanted her to relax and recharge. She loved it.
The pros:
no traffic noise or other patrons.
Lots of wildlife and even 2 friendly goats
Hot tub, wood stove, king size bed, pull out spare bed, cooler size fridge, pool table, close to town and ferry
The cons:
jets don’t really work on hot tub. He was planning to have someone out to repair the temp dial– not sure if this will affect the jets. It’s an older tub. Still gets hot though!
Pull out bed was unusable. He made it up nicely, even with a chocolate on the pillow. The frame is just too worn. I paid for the pullout but ended up sharing the other bed for the sake of my back
Conflict– the room is non smoking but when I asked he clarified that my mom could smoke outside if she didn’t leave her butts around. She threw them away inside as there was no outside trash and after leaving I received an email mentioning the smell from the trash. Not sure what else she should have done here?
Also keep in mind his punctuality. We agreed to breakfast at 9:30 and mom went up at 9:33. She tells me he seemed agitated that she was late. We would have skipped the continental breakfast entirely except there is no in room coffee maker. He did lay out a nice variety for us for breakfast foods.
In the email about the smoke smell he also implied that I underpaid. This was frustrating since he seemed fine when we were there. I checked my receipt and had paid what he asked (125/​night+$ 10/​night for pullout). I paid $ 276 to include tax as he asked. From his email I now gather that the tax was $ 26. He said he hadn’t counted my cash but my receipt reflects the total amount so that isn’t the issue.
I’m disapointed to end the trip on this note after enjoying ourselves so much over the weekend. Renting here is like paying to rent a friend’s room. Lots of rustic charm and great view, just seems to struggle with straddling the professional/​friendly line. I appreciate him opening his home. I don’t expect to return after the conflicts.

The most amazing B&B. If you want a weekend away where you will most definitely relax and find peace, this is the place. One of a kind views.

Awe inspiring private get-​a-​way place that lives up to its name. This place is tucked away, surrounded by woods on three sides and the fourth is a view of the Strait of Juan De Fuca. On a clear day you can see the Olympic mountains. Have stayed here several times and we have always enjoyed the accommodations and host. Lots of bird life including several sightings of Eagles up close. Easy hike to Ebbey’s Landing and miles of beachfront. Close to the small town of Coupeville with several great restaurants and enough small shops to make for some fun browsing. We love the area and find this location gives us everything we need for a great escape.
