Tall Trees Bed & Breakfast

Separate from others.

Feels like home. Great service:)

Andrea was a very attentive host and made us all a nice both mornings if our stay:) quiet area close to downtown.

Note on the door on how to check in that was fine. First impression not great, stair case to room smelled musty, line with unfinished plywood. Room was fine other than patio door was open and floor was wet from rain but otherwise clean. Towels were old and bleach stained. In room fridge would fit 2 cans of pop at most. Bed was super soft, sunk right in, not in a good way. Initial text with host was very odd. We arranged breakfast for 8am. She came in to kitchen after 8 in a bathrobe and pretty much glared at me when I said good morning. The breakfast was tasty and she warmed up a bit but it was still a very weird experience. I didn’t feel welcome, more like an inconvenience. It was so odd we texted her later and said we wouldn’t need breakfast the next day. On our first full day we came back at night and went to go to the kitchen to get some ice. There were three small dogs barricaded in the kitchen with a laundry basket. They were so barky and snarly we couldn’t go in the kitchen. I like dogs and tried my best to be friendly but there was no way they were going to calm down. Many of the features it says the bnb has are in the common area but you can’t use it because of the dogs. Glad we hadn’t planed to cook dinner or anything like that. Overall not a great experience. It was inexpensive but I wouldn’t stay there again.

Awesome, nice place and staff friendly!

Great place to stay for any occasion

Well…it started off badly. We called ahead twice for instructions to get access and we’re told there would be a note waiting for us on arrival. Found the note and followed the directions to the unit. At the top of the stairs I heard a voice shouting”who are you and what are you doing in my house?” I couldn’t see anyone yet but replied that we were there to rent her suite. She finally appeared, her hair in a towel, admitted she was in the shower! She said we couldn’t possibly be as she knew who to expect. She told us to get out and she and my husband hashed it out. After dealing with the passive-aggressive hostility, we were given access to a different unit and settled in. Inside the unit we had no water glasses. We had a mug with water still in it and another one with a sticky rim. There was no Kleenex. The 2 steps down to the bathroom was dangerous and another step to the shower area was a construction zone in progress. A long cobweb strung out from the shower light and water was still on the shower step! The bed was saggy and tippy- felt like sleeping in a bucket seat. Finally…sharing the 2- car drive with the owner and two other visitors didn’t work for us as we had an early morning ferry to catch, therefore we had to park across the street.

We liked the unique atmosphere of being in the bush and having a camp fire without having to tent. Host was very friendly and helpful.

The property is tired and needs a lot of updating. Access to our room up a narrow spiral staircase would’ve been very challenging to some guests. Sadly the owner did little to make us feel welcome - as other reviewers have commented, we felt more an inconvenience than paying guests. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean enough, but the communal areas, especially the kitchen/breakfast room, were cluttered and messy.

Andrea served breakfast which is not usual these days at BnBs.
