If we ever get back up to the Bellingham area, we’ll be sure to see if we can make a reservation at the Tree Frog Night Inn. It was a wonderful experience.

Kurt and Kara-We had an absolutely magical time here at the tree frog. It was so very wonderful to be able to meet both of you and stay here with you. You have a beautiful Inn and the greenery around it just engulfed us in peace this week. I cannot wait to be able to join you again on another journey of ours!
It was such a pleasure! Bri & Duane

Came for a relaxing night with my man. Such a magical space you have created. The breakfast, warm home and hospitality were very special. I look forward to coming back with our little one. Thank you! Katerina & Josh

Great time here in a very comfortable room and terrific food...great to get to know you. Best B&B we have ever stayed in with the best food and rooms!! Loved it! Jon & Carol

What a wonderful surprise your B&B was for us. We just wanted to get out of town for a day and eat at the Oyster bar on Chuckanut, so our accommodations seemed like an after thought. It ended up the opposite, since dinner was the only time we left the "compound." What a fun and gorgeous place you have created--both indoors and out. This was great, and breakfast was over the top! John & Ahinsam

Another relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful spots we have visited. Thank you for helping us show your special place to our daughter. As we expected, she was as enchanted with the Tree Frog Night Inn as we were. Karl, Kathy & Athena

I just finished an 11 day stay at Tree Frog Night and felt like I was right at home. Kara & Kurt have done such a beautiful job of decorating and furnishing the suite so they are comfortable and welcoming. My little dog, Annie, and I had a wonderful time walking the grounds every morning and evening (we even had a beautiful snow morning). And while I only had the smoothie and Irish soda bread for breakfast, these were the best I'd ever had and very satisfying. I had two great massages while there, also ranking up there among the best I'd had (from Denise). And, if all this weren't enough, Kara and Kurt were wonderful to get to know . They have created an oasis right there off the Mt. Baker highway just minutes from everything I needed to access for my stay in Bellingham. I will definitely go back, until my new house is finished and highly recommend Tree Frog Night to anyone wanting to stay in Bellingham with all the comforts of home. Thanks again, Kara & Kurt, for making my trip so pleasant and relaxing. Karen

Kara & Kurt, What an awesome suite! We were so comfortable. Every detail seemed yet another work of art. The whole suite is amazing and so comfortable. Thank you too for all the thoughtful extras and the use of the kitchen-laundry. We are certainly singing your praises. We shall return. Thanks again. Jacquelene and Bill and David

We had a wonderful stay. The room, breakfasts, massages were just great. We are so glad to have found this place! Kim & Dave

Kara and Kurt, I don't want to leave! We're surrounded by such beautiful trees, furnishings, but most of all, your generous hospitality is what really made the trip. The Inn is wonderful! Thank you for having such a comfy place like "The Frog." The white wine was excellent. I can't wait to be be back here. I can't thank you enough. I look forward to spreading the word about how great our stay was! Mary & Rachel

Dear Kara and Kurt,
You've created a gorgeous inn in a lovely setting. I thoroughly enjoyed the Salish suite. Thanks for your hospitality and the wonderful attention to detail throughout the entire property. Btw, the massage with Denise was one of the best I have ever had! Gretchen

A wonderful relaxing stay for us! Much needed rest in a very beautiful place. We love the room, and breakfast was delightful! Thank you! Paul & Gwen

What a beautiful place! We loved the decor and the atmosphere of the place. Breakfast was delicious. Hope to come again. Carla and Connie

We just wanted to thank you again for your hospitality and let you know that we had a 200% enjoyment of our vacation at your wonderful, beautiful place. Even though we only had a few days, I felt so relaxed by the end of our stay. Your place truly holds some magic calmness, and I really felt it. Thank you so much and we shall be back for more. Angelika and Chris

Located just a few miles east of Bellingham proper, the Tree Frog Night Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Nestled in the cedar woods, its two cabins are very welcoming and finely detailed. Some amazingly ornate tile-work decorates the interiors, and everything else in the suites shows a dedication to fit and finish. The Tree Frog Night Inn truly lives up to its title of "Bed and Breakfast," with a wide selection of appetizers and main courses to choose from, all prepared with care and attention to detail. The owners are very conscientious of the environment too, from the rain-water collection on the suites to the organic fare served at breakfast. My wife and I enjoy going to B&B's for special occasions, and the Tree Frog Night Inn is among the top on our list. Tony & Val

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to return to the Tree Frog! My husband and I enjoyed the relaxing time spent in the Salish! The room is gorgeous and the attention to detail and comfort is impeccable! We love coming here and look forward to many returns! Jon & Sarah

Thank you for the wonderful stay in the beautiful Turkish suite. Your attention to detail is much appreciated. I just wish we could have stayed longer. We will put this on our "must return in the near future" list and tell everyone we know! Craig and Marga

Kara & Kurt, Thanks very much for the exquisite Salish Suite and your warm welcome. I love the beauty and serenity here, and appreciate the many delightful design touches, such as the bathroom cabinet resting on four round coastal stones.

Dear Kurt and Kara, My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Salish Inn. What could you ask for after an exhausting day of driving the byway, enjoying the autumn sight, and listening to the peaceful noise made by the Nooksack Falls? An evening with your loved one in front of the fireplace, wine in hand, and just talking about anything. Wished we could have stayed longer. Len and Faye

From the moment you arrive, Kara and Kurt make you feel most welcome. You can't help but spend some time exploring the suite with its art, superb craftsmanship and great attention to detail (small handcrafted wooden labels dangling from bottles of lotion, unique glass mosaic coffee table etc.). This is a place to relax and treat yourself to all four senses: sight, smell, taste and touch. Breakfast is also a gourmand's treat. Susan

Kara, I just wanted to tell you what a great time we had for our, alas, only one night at the Inn. Kurt was so helpful and provided us with a delicious breakfast. We were on our way to Canada, but my husband's family was from Bellingham and we wanted to do a little digging into the past. You provided the perfect reflection place. Thanks! Marianne

We enjoyed a very interesting weekend in Bellingham for my 39th birthday/our anniversary/end of summer celebration. We are happy Tree Frog played a central role in this merry occasion. The room was warm, inviting and relaxing. Attention to detail and elegant decor were woven into this experience from the cushions and pillows to light fixtures and especially love the tile "rug" in the bathroom. My girlfriend Roxanne could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. We're adventurers and we loved waking to songbirds and light from the skylight beaming in. We will be back--hopefully for a longer period of time. Nate & Roxanne

Eric and I had such an amazing time at the Inn. We have been telling all of our friends and relatives about our wonderful stay. My brother in-law and sister in-law have a five year anniversary coming up and I recommended The Tree Frog Night Inn. Eric and I have decided to make it a tradition to stay there at the Inn for our anniversaries. The room we stayed in was so perfect. Every detail was amazing, you guys did such an great job with the whole design of everything. It was cozy and very peaceful. Also, the breakfast was so delicious. Amy did such a great job making us feel right at home. It was the best breakfast we have ever had, all of it. We both felt our wedding could not have been any more beautiful and gone any more smoothly. And thanks to you guys, our wedding day ended in such a perfect way. We will be coming back again soon.
Eric & Cassondra

My daughter, granddaughter and I were fortunate to stay in the Salish Suite of The Tree Frog Night Inn for three nights. Hosts Kara Black and Kurt Yandell made us feel right at home and served us delicious, nutritious breakfasts to get us off to a good start for each day. The accommodations were not only comfortable, but tastefully and artfully appointed. It was a real treat to be there and we hope to return again soon.
Joan

"What a find! We have always felt the best experiences "just happen" and having this beautiful oasis available to us for an evening was amazing! You made us feel so welcome, ensured a relaxing and decadent day by arranging our couple's massage at the last minute! Your food was DELICIOUS, and the art and all the details gave us a fine vacation if only for one night! Thank you so very much, we will definitely look forward to trying the adjacent suite on our next visit.
Matt & Samantha

"Kurt & Kara, You have an extraordinary gift for hospitality and have the most restful and beautiful setting we have ever stayed in!
I don't think words can adequately describe the wonderful experience we had at the Tree Frog Night. We wish you every success as word of your incredible establishment spreads to the B&B frequenter's "must stay" lists! If we have the privilege of returning to Bellingham, you can be sure we will hope to stay again, and we will highly recommend it to others. Thank you so much!"
