My girlfriend and I stayed in October and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our host Michael was terrific and an provided outstanding personalized experience. The gourmet breakfasts were to die for. The accommodations were great, down to every last little detail that made the experience feel very unique. We fell in love with San Juan island - so much to do! Roche Harbor is a must!! We both highly recommend and look forward to returning to Wildwood Manor :)

I recently had the extraordinary experience of a three day stay at Wildwood Manor. I discovered that there are certain things that a brochure or review cannot capture:
~The magic of walking in and knowing immediately that you'll
never want to leave
~The smell of warm fresh baked cookies
~wamth and graciousness
~enchanting surroundings that words cannot describe

We booked our stay at the Wildwood Manor as a girl's weekend and couldn't have been more delighted. From the moment we arrived when Michael, innkeeper extraordinaire, met us in the driveway, we knew this was going to be a very special experience. The attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. From the color on the walls to the luxurious thread count of the sheets, everything is top notch. We stayed in both the San Juan Room and the Shaw Room and both were perfect. The view of the water from the San Juan Room was phenominal, and while in the Shaw room we were able to look out the window in the evening and gaze upon the deer and their fawn that came up to dine on the dinner that Michael was so gracious to provide. Breakfast was another experience altogether with fresh fruit smoothies and waffles, to an omlette that I still dream about. One of our party was glutin intolerant, and Michael prepared a special breakfast just for her. He has the gift of making each guest feel special... something else a brochure or review cannot quite capture. We arrived as guests, but left as friends. I will never forget our stay there, Michael, the deer, the wonderful breakfasts, the lovely rooms, and the magic that I hope to someday come back to again.

My wife and I stayed at Wildwood in September and we really couldn't have been happier. So many reviewers have pointed out how wonderful the accommodations are, how wonderful the food is, and have mentioned the neat little surprises (deer in the front yard, snacks, DVD collection, etc). We agree 100% with those reviews but what really made our stay special at Wildwood was the personal attention from our host, Michael. He really went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of our time on the island. He made dinner reservations for us while we were out exploring, he gave us advice on the best routes to take to see the various sites, he gave us advice on the best places to get "lunch on the go", he recommended restaurants(and specific entrees) for dinner...I could go on and on. Our stay at Wildwood was the highlight of our two week tour of the Northwest and it was made all the more special by our fabulous host. When we return to San Juan Island there is no question of where we'll be staying.

I booked this B&B based largely on reviews from this and other sites - we couldn't have been more pleased. An idyllic setting of 11 heavily wooded acres with an unbeatable view of the San Juan Channel. The inn is absolutely beautiful and meticulously clean. Our room (Lopez) was very comfortable and offered a great view of the grounds. I didn't book early enough to capture a room overlooking the water, but we really didn't miss it, as the great room, dining room and grounds offered such magnificent views.
Most impressive to me was the balance between feeling like a welcome guest in a friend's home and enjoying our privacy as a couple. Michael made dinner reservations (don't miss The Backdoor Kitchen), day trip recommendations (the sculpture park was really cool) and even took care of our online check-in and printed our boarding passes for the return flight.
Karen requests that I mention the cookies were really yummy (I'm not editorializing here) and adds her thanks for a perfect weekend.
If you miss this place, you're crazy. We're already planning our next stay.
