    My husband and I stayed at the Olympic View B&B recently and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We loved the privacy of the little cottage and the amazing view of the Puget Sound from our private deck and hot tub! The B&B was lovely; clean and the comfortable and always stocked with goodies. Dave and Eileen are the most gracious hosts ;-) We definitely recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a quiet, unhurried, romantic place to stay--conveniently located close to Seattle and the WA wine country!

    We arrived a little early after following the directions given, but were made to feel welcome and shown all the amienities from comfy bed to hot tub on the balcony to washer and dryer which was much needed after we had been travelling for a few weeks. We loved the town of Burien and all it had to offer just a minute up the hill. We found the well stocked pantry with eggs, cheeses, milk and many other items for our use.I loved to sit on the balcony with my cuppa and my book and soak it all up. The views of Puget Sound were beautiful, you couldn't get enough.We had our own private space and weren't bothered by any noise. We would highly recommend it to anyone

    My wife and I stayed at the Olympic View B&B for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. We spent most of our days exploring Seattle and Mount Rainier, however when we came back to the B&B it felt like home. We were always excited to see what fruit, pastries and drinks were stocked in the frig for the next morning. I loved waking up in the morning and going to sleep at night with a view out the bedroom window of the trees, mountains and water. It was asolutely beautiful. The hot tub was a great relaxer for us, especially after long days of hiking and walking about the city. The place is very clean and updated. We hope to come back to visit soon!

    Olympic View B&B 's owners are a class act. The property is meticulously maintained. Their level of presence is just right. David was always available when we needed him, but not intrusive. He & Eileen got our first trip to Seattle off to a fabulous start! The views are breathtaking and there are several very good restaurants nearby(The 909). The quiet residential neighborhood provided a tranquil setting that felt safe. Downtown attractions were easily reachable & our return to this oasis was anticipated daily for hot tubbing & sunset viewing. We hope to return in the future.

    Having been to Seattle numerous times in the past 13 years I was looking for a slightly different vacation, and I can honestly say this experience was beyond my expectations. Convenient to major highways, minutes from Sea-Tac and a short distance from downtown Seattle, easy to find with Dave and Eileen's directions and yet...so far removed from the hustle and bustle as to be nearly magical. This quiet seemingly secluded cottage nurtured my soul with it's views of Elliot Bay, Puget Sound and it's island and the Olympic Mountains backlit by the setting sun. I spent every breakfast on the deck enjoying the solitude and the view and ws there for many of the sunsets as well. Well maintained with a relaxing palette it's hard not to spend all ones time at the cottage. Still, had time to go hikiing on the Olympic Penisula, do the salmon bake at Tillicum Village, ride the new Ferris wheel at Pier 54 and generally bask in the stunning July weather. The notebook of local options is fabulous and I highly recommend the short walk to Three Tree Beach along the Indian Trail + a meal at the Tin Room and Cafe 909.. Both were recommended by Eileen who never steered me wrong. I'd never rented from an internet ad before but I have been telling everyone about this and would happily stay here again. Clean and airy... one of the nicer B&B's I've stayed in. Although it would make a great romantic getaway, I greatly enjoyed it as a single female traveler and look forward to returning on my visit to Seattle.

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Olympic B&B so much that we will no doubt visit again in the future. Dave and Eileen were wonderful hosts! The cottage is very clean, comfortable, and well decorated. We enjoyed the breakfast choices they provided everyday especially the option to prepare what we wanted and when. No early rising for us that week! The desserts waiting for us each evening were a delight. What more can we say? The view- amazing! The food- amazing! The hosts- amazing! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!!

    That pretty much sums up our experience at Olympic View this past week! This B&B is the BEST we've ever encountered. The description on this website is "spot on" to what you'll find at the B&B. Dave and Eileen are the consummate hosts and have thought of everything to make your vacation experience unforgettable. The cottage is first rate, with a private balcony with table, chairs and umbrella and private hot tub. They also have a TV with VCR/DVD combo along with a good selection of DVD's to watch in the event you are tired of enjoying the breathtaking view of Puget Sound! Mornings are a treat choosing from pancakes, french toast or just nibbling on one of the fresh pastries brought in from one of the local bakeries. If you are looking for a quiet, private retreat from the busy pace of everyday life, this is your destination. We can't wait to come back!!

    Owner response: ...and we can't wait to have you back anytime of the year. You both traveled around so much during your stay here. A day hike to Mt. Rainer and Mt. St. Helens. And the memorable Pike Place Market is always an experience. When you come back we have some great restaurants to add to your list and attraction sights that are a must see while in Seattle. Thank you so much for experiencing our little hide-away. Have a wonderful summer! The Schmidt's

    My husband and I were so happy with our accommodations at Olympic View Bed and Breakfast that we were already planning our return trip the first day we were in town. Of all the sight-seeing we did during our week in Washington, our favorite view was from the cottage. We enjoyed watching all the ships travel up and down the Sound as well as watch the sunsets behind the mountains. The Olympic View Bed and Breakfast provided the perfect level of service and privacy. When you stay here, you are the only guests and every space belongs to you: the bathroom, bedroom, living room, kitchen, patio and hot-tub. Dave and Eileen were available for anything and took care of everything we needed. Eileen called us the day we were to arrive and offered to make dinner reservations for us at a nearby restaurant since we would be arriving late in the evening. While the cottage is located in Burien, just outside of Seattle, we were never in the car for longer than ten minutes for anything we wanted to do downtown: Victoria Clippers, Pikes Market, the Space Needle, and Pioneer Square. We also enjoyed the convenience of Burien: we were minutes away from coffee shops, boutiques, and the grocery store. When Dave and Eileen mailed a map to us prior to our stay, I was concerned about how close to the airport the cottage is located, but I did not hear a single plane during our stay. We enjoyed our stay so much that I find it difficult to describe how happy we were our entire time. Joe and I honestly feel like we not only made friends with Dave and Eileen, but we left feeling like family. Thank you so much, Dave and Eileen, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again in the future!

    This is the best little b&b ever, I would suggest to anyone looking for a excellent experience. Dave and Eileen spoil you so rotten you don't want to leave. The fridge is always full, the counter always has fresh pastries, bread,and bagels. They got us hooked on using cinnamon bread for french toast yum. It was nice coming home in the evening the breakfast dishes were done and there was a chocolate by your bed. The view from the hot tub was just gorgeous and it wasn't hard to loose track of time when you were there it was so peaceful. All the reviews you read on this place are so true. We will return and pass this on to friends and family even though we would like to keep it our little secret but I guess we will share. Thanks Dave and Eileen for the wonderful holiday

    We can't say enough about our wonderful stay at the Olympic View Bed and Breakfast Cottage. Dave and Eileen had thought of everything to make our visit comfortable. The cottage is a separate home, independent of any other guests giving us complete privacy. The cottage has windows the full length of the dining, kitchen, and bedroom so we had an amazing view of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountain range. On our private deck, we were able to enjoy the hot tub with a lovely view of the Puget Sound waterways. My husband and I relaxed each night with a bottle of wine and cheese on the patio while watching the breathtaking sunsets. A nice big king size bed with high end, comfy sheets gave us an incredible night sleep. The home is decorated with warm relaxing colors, very tasteful. It was so appreciated to have our kitchen restocked each day while we were away with coffee, fresh pastries, eggs, cheese, juice, sliced fruit parfaits, yogurt, butter, soda, milk and a nice variety of breads. We even were provided with homemade buttermilk pancake mix, granola, and oatmeal. What more could you ask for? If you enjoy antiquing, Snohomish was a great find! Angelo's Ristorante in Burien was amazing. Thanks Dave and Eileen for the perfect 3 day weekend!

    We spent four relaxing days at the cottage and highly recommend it. It is a great base for visiting the Seattle area. We would travel around the area, then return to the cottage to nap, relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the gorgeous view. The accomodations are very comfortable, clean and exactly as pictured. It is perfect for two people. The local area of Burien is delightful and we probably enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed Seattle! The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The towels are nice and thick. the sheets were very soft. The food they provide is replenished daily, and the fresh breads/pastries were tasty. There are plenty of books/brochures on things to do and see. If you go into Burien, we enjoyed Mick Kelly's Irish Pub and the Tin Room. (excellent Lemon Drop Martini's at the Tin Room)

    Dave and Eileen -- thanks so much for the wonderful weekend -- truly a special treasure location in the beautiful northwest. The place was warm and inviting -- the hot tub sweet -- the views fantastic. The walk to the beach and down to the Indian Trail was special to Three Tree Point. The views and sunset were beautiful-- even in February. Thank you very much. Kevin and Melinda

    My husband and I had to stay home during the holidays this year so we decided to find a local B&B to spend time at. We found the Olympic View and are so glad we did! We arrived on Christmas Eve and the innkeeper was so nice! They were having their own Christmas celebrations yet took the time to make sure all our needs were catered to. The seclusion of the cottage from the outside world was wonderful. So quiet and peaceful, we never heard anyone! The hot tub was a highlight! Soaking in the hot water while admiring the night sky was heavenly! On Christmas Day we baked our own Christmas dinner as the cottage had all the pans and utensils needed. Dave called us in the afternoon and inquired on us and wished us a Merry Christmas! That was a very nice sentiment. The view from the cottage is beautiful, watching the fog roll in over the water and watching boats sailing... it was just delightful! We will definitely be going back when we can. Thank you Dave and Eileen! I wouldn't have you change a thing!

    Review: Olympic View B&B is something of a hybrid, neither the on-your-own austerity of a hotel nor the borderline obtrusiveness of some B&Bs. Having the cottage with all the privacy and amenities one could wish made our stay there so enjoyable, and the location, with the beautiful view of the Sound right outside the large bedroom/living area picture windows was incomparable. There are so many things right about this place: close to a nearby town with shopping, restaurants, etc. Close enough to downtown Seattle (within 15 min)with all the attractions to make for a good number of day trips. Close to SeaTac airport to make arrivals/departures easy, and the best view of the Sound (esp. from the hot tub) one could imagine. The proprietors (Dave & Eileen) have thought of everything. The cottage is immaculate and tastefully decorated and fully stocked with attraction brochures/restaurant info, dvd's, videos (VHS), books, even pens & pencils. The kitchenette has everything you need to cook and homemade pancake mix (with accompanying eggs & buttermilk) is supplied; along with staples like butter, milk, juice, etc. Incredible breads, bagels, & pastries appeared like magic when we returned from our day trips; we used them for breakfast and sometimes desserts. The bed has a very comfortable mattress with high-quality bed linens. While accommodating, the owners are very unobtrusive and afford you all the privacy you could wish while being just a phone call (or knock on the door of their adjoining house) away. Oh yes, even a full washer & dryer is provided! Everyone told us we were traveling to the Seattle area at the "worst time" of the year and we had a ball! Pikes Mkt and the Space Needle are a must in our book, as is also a stay @ the Olympic View B&B.

    We spent eight days and nights at this cottage. Dave and Eileen are very gracious hosts, willing to go the extra mile to make your stay a fantastic experience. The views, ammenities, hot tub, and location were all top notch. Breakfast ingredients were always restocked as needed, and use of the gas bar-b-que made for a memorable grilled salmon dinner. Advice on activities, transportation options and restaurant recommendations were all accurate and appreciated. We highly recommend this cottage. Very convenient to Seattle and Ferries to other points of interest.

    We cannot say enough good things about this cottage rental experience. The view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains is outstanding, expecially when viewed from the private hot tub on the deck. Located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, the cottage is a short walk from the beach. However, the hills are steep and steps to the cottage might make it a bit difficult for anyone with accessibility issues. This cottage is by far the cleanest and best maintained property we have ever rented directly from the owners. The owners are wonderful hosts with excellent suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants; they even made dinner reservations for us and provided directions. The B&B concept of stocking the kitchenette with breakfast supplies was an added bonus for us. It allowed us to prepare our own breakfast at our leisure. The kitchen space was sufficient and well stocked, so we could cook other meals when we wanted to eat in. A car is a must as there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance. We have already recommended the cottage to others and hope to return ourselves.

    The Olympic View was just what we needed. After a long day seeing the sights in Seattle, we always looked forward to the quiet comfort of this great b & b. The self-contatined cottage is perfect for a couple - immaculate, airy, filled with light, and with a view of Puget sound that we never tired of seeing. Dave and Eileen got everything right; fresh breakfast supplies every day, a vase with beautiful flowers on our kitchen table, cooking tips for the fresh salmon we picked up, and a willingness to help that is above and beyond what one would expect. When we decided to rent a car (a must to really get out and see the area), they put us in touch with a local company that had great rates. We will recommend them to anyone going to Seattle and hope to have the pleasure of a return visit ourselves.

    My review of the B&B to paste in to the web sites. “This B&B stands out as one of a kind and we relished in our experience so much that we have already decided to return at a later date this year! There is nothing else you need to bring to this wonderful escape except yourself, your loved one(s) and a mind to experience the hospitality provided by this B&B and the beautiful accommodations of the cottage. As the only guests on the property, we benefitted from all of the amenities that this B&B has to offer such as a private kitchen with all appliances and dishes, breakfast foods in the refrigerator and a variety of delicious pastries and coffee, tea, water and soft drink varieties. Not only is this intimate and vibrant space decorated quite pleasingly, but the cozy, warm and inviting private cottage provides you the peace and calm you deserve, where a soulful and tranquil ambient awaits you if you truly submit yourself to relax and allow yourself to be pampered; this is how the best experiences during our stay were created. Unlimited use of your own private hot tub on the deck provides you the opportunity to savor in the panoramic view, which offers scenic water, skyline and mountainous imagery. Watching the sun rise, or set against the splendor of this silhouette is breathtaking and the simplest thing like a falcon flying high in the clouds, or a plane flying high in the clouds while soaking in the steam and jet massagers in the hot tub elevates the value of your experience substantially. This B&B truly went above and beyond our expectations. We can attest that this romantic getaway is better than your typical B&B experience as the innkeepers fully cater to guest needs in a personable and attentive manner, something that has been lost in the hospitality sector where only extra tips buy you the common courtesy that guests receive as a standard at this gorgeous escape. Some people may want to leave and visit surrounding areas, go out to eat, order in, or bring food from surrounding area farmers markets or other grocery stores back to the cottage; Once you settle in and submit to the magic of this B&B, you will find that there is not much else you need, and further, nowhere else you will want to go as your own intentions become positively amplified by the offerings of this absolutely stunning Bed & Breakfast. This was our experience and we highly recommend this B&B, through every season as one of the most romantic getaways in the Pacific Northwest.

    I apologize for the delay, but could not let the opportunity pass to let you know about the wonderful experience I had while at your cottage. Last weekend my boyfriend and I booked a stay with you for our anniversary. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing the time we had there was. From the view, to the privacy, to the unique amenities of your kitchen and being able to add an intimate touch to our meals by cooking for ourselves and having private, relaxing dinners, lunches AND breakfasts. This, to me, surpassed any traditional bed and breakfast in quality and service in more ways than I have time to elaborate on. I wanted to say thank you from the both of us for not only providing outstanding, quality service…but for giving us an experience and a memory.

    Words are not enough to describe the most wonderful time we had while staying at Olympic View. It was all we hoped it would be and more - a private getaway which we will long remember. Our first visit to the Seattle area and we found a place that if we ever return it will be our only choice for a place to stay. Normally we don't do B & B's, but this is no common experience, nor a common B & B.. Private, Romantic, and so relaxing, the best 4 nights of our 3 week vacation. You are the only guests, in a seperate, secluded setting. To call it a cabin experience would be sooo wrong, it was more like having your own elegant getaway home on Puget Sound. The only thing we did find wrong with Olympic View was that they are so far from our home in Connecticut on the Washinton coast, not the Maine or New Hampsire coasts, our normal stomping grounds. Move them to a rocky New England shore location and we would be a twice a year customer.

    We stayed for three nights in this beautiful cottage and we loved the relaxing atmosphere both of the cottage and the small town of Burien which offered lots of choice to eat out and was very friendly. Coming from Wales (we live within a few miles of the 2010 Ryder Cup venue) Burien was facinating for us to explore and take in the small town 'American' atmosphere whilst the nearby city of Seattle was brilliant (great amphibious city tour) if not a little daunting to drive into. Fortunately Dave and Eileen came to our rescue the second day and sorted us out with directions to get into the city by train from the nearby airport. Dave and Eileen have obviously gone to great lengths to perfect their wonderful B&B and we were sorry to leave it and head north towards Vancouver and the plane home. If there had been a vacancy we would have happily stayed longer but we took Eileen and Dave's advice and stopped off at the San Juan Islands on our way north and once again they came up trumps as it was as they advised a wonderful place to visit. If you have the chance to visit Eileen and Dave's B&B grab it quickly, we are sure you will love it.

    We went to Olympic View Cottage to celebrate our 30th Anniversary! We could not have had a better time!! The cottage was even better than it looks on the web site!! The Cottage is Cozy, Spotless, Quiet, with a Comfortable king bed! Great privacy! The hot tub was well maintained and the view from it a feast for the eyes! Dave and Eileen were very helpful giving information if we asked for it, but also sensitive to our privacy. It was very easy to find our way to down town Seattle, where we enjoyed Pike's Place Market, Ride the DUCKS, and Ivar's Restaurant! We'll definitely be back, as there is so much to see and do in Seattle! We have gone to dozens of B&B's over the years in BC, and a few in Washington State, and Olympic View Cottage is in our Top Three List! Thanks for a Great Experience!

    Our stay at the Olympic View B&B 6/15-22/10 was everything and MORE than what we were expecting from their website. Eileen and Dave we so very friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful and was perfect for our 20th anniversary. We were in Seattle to also attend our son’s wedding. The rest of the family were in hotels and were envious of the pictures we shared with them. It was fabulous to come back to such a peaceful and relaxing place with a nice bottle of wine and the hot tub. The views are absolutely stupendous as is the hospitality. The breakfasts stocked in the fridge were delicious. Dave and Eileen also provided items for special requests we had. We are looking forward to visiting our son and daughter-in-law again and will definitely be staying at the Cottage B&B. Thank you Eileen and Dave for being such gracious hosts and sharing your wonderful home! Denise & Stanley B. Lake City, MN

    I found the Olympic View on a vacation rental website back in 2009 when I started looking at places for my now wife and I to stay on our honeymoon in Seattle before our Alaskan cruise. I instantly fell in love with the pictures I saw, and the fact that it was close enough to downtown Seattle, but also far enough away for some peace and relaxation after our long wedding planning and before starting our honeymoon cruise. When we arrived, Eileen greeted us and showed us around the place, and let us get settled in and start to enjoy our stay. It was wonderful being able to get food from the Pike Place Market and cook it there, and eat on the patio overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. I also have to say that Dave and Eileen went the extra mile for us. We had forgotten some paperwork for our excursions on the cruise, and we were able to get it faxed to their house so that we were able to do those tours. This was by far a wonderful surprise for my wife, who had no idea where we were staying in Seattle, and she told me on several occasions during and since that the stay was a highlight of the trip and if we had to do it over again, she would want me to book the Olympic View! Thank you Dave and Eileen for running a wonderful, hidden gem, and if you get the chance to get to Seattle, give the Olympic View a serious look as a spot to stay.

    Our fourth stay at Olympic View . We love the privacy, the hot tub and the easy access to Burien and family ( a great little city by the way ). We can drive into Seattle or take Public transportation and then come home and relax on the deck. I love putting flowers in the livingroom area that I get at Pike Street Market. We already made our reservations for our next visit. Thanks Dave and Ilene for another great respite. P.S. The pastries are awesome!

    Olympic View was so much more than a place to stay, it was a part of our vacation. Spectacular view, peaceful area, friendly innkeepers. The hot tub was great and the cottage charming.
