2 reviews for Shafer Baillie Mansion Bed & Breakfast
this is such a grand place!
beautiful and in such a nice neighborhood.
the staff was very nice and helpful.
dual showerheads are neat!
The Shafer Baillie Mansion is an exquisite bed & breakfast located on the original "Millionaire's Row" in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. The facade of the Mansion (the largest home on Millionaire's Row) is attractive, but nothing prepared me for the opulence that greeted us as we crossed the foyer.
The oak paneled entrance hall welcomed us into the old 14,000 square foot home. To the left was a large sitting room, its sumptuous period furnishings just beckoning guests to relax in front of the large marble fire place.
Ana, one of the owners, greeted us warmly even though we were early, and led us up the grand staircase to the Capitol Hill Room, decorated in a striking combination of black and white textiles and cheerful yellow walls.
While the size of our room was moderate, the luxury and comfort exceeded our expectations. The bed was cozy, the large old windows let in the perfect breeze, and the updated bathroom retained its classic style while providing modern conveniences - including a large, glass walk-in shower. My fiance was able to easily get online with the free wireless internet, and I helped myself to a chocolate and a cup of tea from the coffee and tea bar downstairs.
Despite the presence of the other 4 guest rooms, (all of which were booked), we had quiet and a sense of privacy.
After a late night spent exploring the Capitol Hill restaurant and bar scene we walked back to the mansion and enjoyed a restful night's sleep. In the morning we sat in the sunroom, enjoying the 'expanded continental breakfast,' which included cheeses and meats, fresh fruit, and pastries.
5 stars - for comfort, service, and location.

History
Established in 1987
The Shafer Baillie Mansion, a magnificent historic residence on Seattle's original Millionaires Row, began offering bed and breakfast accommodations and event rentals in 1987. Current owners Ana Lena Melka and Mark Mayhle purchased the property in 2004 and have completely restored and updated the interior and exterior. With 8 guest rooms and suites (each with private bath) and both inside and outside party and event spaces, we are ready for another century of Seattle memories.
