Artist's Studio Loft Bed and Breakfast

From the moment you park your car and walk through one of the garden gates, you are transported to an enchanted world of garden paths, ponds, and trees that is peaceful, quiet, and serene. This is a place for personal reflection, rekindling romance, honeymooners, nature lovers, birdwatchers, or for those just needing to break away from the daily grind. Enjoy and be nurtured by relaxing in the outdoor therapeutic spa. Unwind in the hot soothing water and let the jets massage your cares away while you listen to the sounds of frogs and night birds.

We are located on beautiful Vashon Island, just minutes from downtown Seattle, Tacoma, and the Kitsap Peninsula. Enjoy a beautiful ferry ride from 3 different points of departure, West Seattle, Point Defiance in Tacoma, Southworth on the peninsula.

Enter through just one of the many artistic gates and arbors and discover the magic and the peace of the garden. Sit or stroll while you unwind and enjoy the graceful shapes and forms of the arches, stones paths and trees. Bird watch from your favorite bench or simply close your eyes and soak in the sounds of nature. Stroll under the romantic vine covered arbors, that are a favorite spot for the song birds to perch. Relax on a bench in the flower gardens and beside the pond and watch the birds bathing and splashing and the dragonflies landing on the water lilies and ornamental grasses. If you're lucky, enjoy the splendor of visits by the Blue Heron and King Fisher. Later in the year listen to the rustle of the giant ornamental grasses and take in the brilliant fall colors.

The island boasts several galleries, great restaurants, and shops perfect for browsing. Artist's Studio Loft B&B is just one mile from Vashon's shops. There are three lovely public beaches providing an excellent setting for a picnic, beachcombing and exploration.
