Whispering Firs B&B is a great small family run b&b. Breakfast is provided every morning and the best apple pie I ever tasted is made from scratch here. It is so serene on the mountain and the view is superb. Lots of things to do on the mountain - fishing, hiking, hot tub, and volleyball. My favorite is the green moss under my feet - nature's carpet and just looking all around at the endless beauty. There is also a plethora of things to do in the valley or surrounding area. Too many activities to pack them all into 1 trip.

Loved our first night in WA. A great stopover at the Whispering Firs B&B on our way to the #northcascades! Comfy everything, welcoming host and amazing homemade breakfast including a new favorite - Dutch Pancakes! #WashingtonB&B #WhisperingFirs #Cascades #SkagitCounty

Looks like a amazing place. The lady I spoke with seemed like a very nice respectful person. Just a heads up this is only for "traditional" weddings. Again she seemed very nice and the rooms look beautiful.

My two kids and I stayed here a few months ago and had a really great experience. Their home and room was warm and inviting. Vic and Linda's hospitality was wonderful and the food was GREAT. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
