Vashon WA bed and breakfast Inn near Seattle on Vashon Island

Welcome to Artist's Studio Loft.

From the moment you park your car and walk through one of the garden gates, you are transported to an enchanted world of garden paths, ponds, and trees, that is peaceful, quiet, and serene.

About the Inn Keeper

I spent several years traveling; partly for personal retreat and partly to explore the world. My travels have taken me to India, Nepal, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and most of Europe. During this time, I studied 'Go' (an oriental strategy game) and taught English as a second language in Japan. When I returned to the Seattle area, I settled on Vashon Island and later started the Artist's Studio Loft. As a result of my travels, I have an intimate understanding of the needs of travelers and love to meet and talk with my guests.

The gardens here feed my soul and I am happiest pursuing artistic projects, such as stained glass, painting and mosaics, when time permits. It has been a wonderful adventure decorating and developing the cottages, rooms and gardens. The 5 acres that are now gardens were pasture when I moved here in 1983.
