Comments: We enjoyed wonderful service with friendly live-in hosts at the Shafer-Baille Mansion. These relatively new owners have made staying there a joy. We had 14 family members ranging in age from 2 to 72 and all loved the place.

Comments: Just returned from our 2nd trip to this fantastic beautifully restored Seattle mansion, and would heartily recommend Shafer Baillie to all Seattle visitors. Great price for convenient location close to downtown but tucked away from the maddening crowd on Capital Hill on a quiet street. All bedrooms have been lovingly restored and boast all of the modern conveniences you could ask for. Continental breakfasts are elegant and varied with ample food and beverages, and hostess Ana provides for every wish or need. The house even has wireless high speed internet for keeping in touch.We'll be happy to visit again!

Comments: On a recent trip to Seattle our son recommended that we stay at the Shafer Baillie Mansion board and breakfast. What a delightful stay we had. The owners, Mark & Ana Lena are residing in the mansion with their family and have been restoring the property to its original condition.
Since purchasing the property the entire plumbing system has been re-piped, but all of the antique lavatory, tub and shower fixtures have been carefully rebuilt, polished and are amazing to see and use.
The electrical system has also been re-wired, but again not a fixture or push button switch was omitted when the job was complete.
If you appreciate turn of the century fine woodwork you will find a treasure of hardwoods crafted into beautiful finished paneling, doors and windows, and vaulted ceilings.
The guest rooms are beautifully decorated and all have private baths. The rooms and the other guest areas are kept brightly cleaned.
Breakfast was always a treat with different pastries, fruits and yogurts served daily by Ana. She is very gracious and works hard to please their guests. Anna hired and supervised all the workers in the restoration of the mansion and researched sources for old plumbing fixtures, etc. Mark is a radiologist and practices nights so it is not unusual for him to greet you and offer his help while you are staying with them at the mansion,.
