As Quoted in Publications:
"Surrounded by the warm glow of art glass chandeliers, alluring antique furnishings and local memorabilia, it is easy to slip into a slower pace and forget the world outside… Chinaberry Hill is a must-see destination for history buffs and antique lovers…" --- Tacoma Reporter
"The inn offers an abundance of the unique and eccentric… Multi-room suites are grand in scale, with high ceilings, large windows overlooking the estate gardens and bright, spacious surroundings..." --- Tacoma Weekly
"… an upscale establishment with a tasteful mix of antiques,contemporary artwork and luxuries such as two-person Jacuzzi tubs …" --- Seattle Magazine
"Water nymphs dance in the dining room, solar-powered crystals glitter at the window, a hand-painted five foot pipe rendering of a sleeping Madonna reigns in the bridal suite… and a friendly fishing bear, carved up buzzsaw art-style, greets you at the door. Not your normal B&B fare."
--- Tacoma Weekly
"The interior is enriched by an elaborate oak staircase and woodwork and jewel-toned stained-glass windows." --- Sunset Magazine
“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 Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest
"It’s hard to find view tubs and soaking privacy in urban settings. But the Wild Rose Room comes close. No one can see you as you gaze out at 100-year-old cherry and Japanese maple trees." --- Seattle P-I/Seattle Times
"… original ornate fixtures, hand-carved woodwork, stained glass, leaded windows and Victorian opulence… and something else you don't see too often – a hay chute." --- Tacoma News Tribune
"The house has gas lights converted to electricity; a still-workable ancient intercom once used to summon maids and butlers; a brass sink in the butler's pantry… an extensive collection of period furniture… local memorabilia reminiscent of the lifestyle of 19th century Tacoma upper-crust society." --- The Oregonian
