UnPlugged
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008

This place is a true retreat where you can unplug from whatever you need to unplug from. No phones, (turn off your cell) Internet is available but we prefered to really unplug. No TV. Music is available on the computer, but I listened to my own selections.
My wife and I stayed here for 1 week and it took us a couple nights to really get confortable with being unplugged, but by day 3 we were very confortable and happy. The owner is a lovely lady and made things very easy for us. The place is clean and has airy feel to it.
Biggest regret is not getting a WASU massage at the wellness center attached to the retreat. It looked like a very relaxing procedure.
There is a bus stop close by, which takes you right to the DT core if you like. A breakfast at Portage Bay Cafe is a must, great organic local food. For those not against starbucks, there is one just down by Greenlake park that serves the Clover coffee, a real nice cup of Joe.
There are a couple 24 hour super markets within 2 blocks where you can pick whatever you need.
About the place:
Bed - comfortable and warm - shove a pillow in the window above the bed for an extra long sleep
Kitchen - well equipped and a real delight to be able to go to the market and pick up fresh seafood and cook it yourself. As visitors to Seattle and the coast this is much better than always eating at restaurants.
Shower - So large and roomy and with the tile shower panels, there isn't a cold spot in the place!
Steam and Infrared Sauna - These were used at least 2 times a day and I felt completely cleansed by the end of the trip. My wife even enjoyed the steam room daily!
