... views of the Sound, you may forget that your hilltop hideaway is actually an urban inn. Downtown shops and theatres, Antique Row and waterfront restaurants are all within a few blocks of this remarkable garden retreat.

Chinaberry Hill has been featured in Tacoma's Grand Home Tours and several publications, including Conde Nast Traveler, Sunset Magazine, Travel & Leisure, Amazing Getaways of the Pacific Northwest, Northwest Best Places, Best Places to Kiss Northwest, and Romantic Days & Nights in Seattle.

The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest tells its readers: "This is one groovy place…from the oval window to the rounded porch… better-than-restored, with décor that’s bold, eclectic, opulent, and inviting. A delightful place, with secluded garden, hilltop privacy, yet great urban access."

The inn makes good on its promise of "Hearty breakfasts & serious coffee." Breakfast is a multi-course feast, beginning w/fresh ground coffee, juice and a large fresh fruit dish, serving up such favorites as buttermilk blueberry pancakes, coconut macaroon pancakes, orange croissant French toast, ham and swiss quiche, garlic potatoes and peppercrust bacon, fruit and creme fraiche strattas. Alrighty then.

Be sure to check out the inn's website for more photos and information: http://www.chinaberryhill.com
