Review: Chinaberry Hill Bed and Breakfast

Last summer, Javis and I traveled up to Tacoma for a doctor’s appointment. It was my first time in Tacoma and we stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast called Chinaberry Hill. The house is a Victorian mansion built in 1889 with an amazing view of the Puget Sound. We stayed in the Wild Rose Suite which had a fireplace and an enormous jacuzzi bathtub. It was quite lovely and romantic.

Cecil and his wife were gracious hosts. We spent time chatting with Cecil about traveling abroad and other worldly subjects – at least the conversation made me feel worldly! 🙂

For breakfast we had yogurt with fresh fruit and toasted coconut, blueberry pancakes with whipped cream and more blueberries, eggs and bacon. It was a delicious feast and I wished I could have eaten more than I did.

Behind the house was a carriage house that they had remodeled into a cozy place to stay. There were some vines growing up the side of the carriage house that I thought were interesting.

I fell in love with the lush green gardens surrounding the house and a neighborhood cat.

The back alley that ran behind these houses had such a nostalgic feel.
