Beecher Hill House

About 10 minutes from Leavenworth. Very comfortable drive.
My wife and I stayed for three nights (winter) in the Sam Beecher Suite while we were visiting Leavenworth and taking in the surrounding activities. It was something of a mini getaway.
I am clearly no professional reviewer, however I do like to give usable feedback that is beneficial for the business and the customer.
We will start with the bad so we can finish on a high note:
1. Shower/​water pressure: The shower in our room was simply terrible. I mean, visually the bathroom and shower were well maintained, clean, and decorated nicely. But the water pressure and shower head were just awful. At times the shower would slow down to a dribble and at best was just enough to wash yourself. In my opinion, a good shower experience can constitute upwards of 30% of my experience at a hotel/B&B. Would be worthwhile for them to invest in at least some sort of pressure system and some better shower heads. Amazon sells some shower heads that are cheap and utilize low water pressure quite well.
2. The bed: It was comfortable enough but the frame was quite flimsy and super noisy. Frankly, the B&B kind of seems to pride itself on being a romantic getaway. Well, guess what isn’t romantic? Getting… intimate… and having the whole house know it. Enough said. A investment in sturdier and quieter bed frames would be worthwhile.
3. Wine Hour: They have a wine hour/​s from 5 – 7 PM every night. This is terribly inconvenient if you are doing any sight seeing. You are very likely getting dinner or shopping around in Leavenworth every evening during this time frame. If they pushed it back to even 7 – 8 it would be far more useful and enjoyable. Also, during the winter months it would be VERY nice to have hot chocolate available in addition to wine. As it stands it is just wine and cheese/​crackers.
4. Water: I can not say definitively that there was no access to filtered water as they could perhaps have a filtration system built in. But it was unclear. They provided an ice chest but no clear source for filtered water during the night.
5. Breakfast: While the breakfast was skillfully prepared and I don’t mean to take away from it. I must say that it would be a good idea to perhaps discuss with the guests what is on the meal plan. My wife and I enjoy simple breakfasts (bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, french toast, fruit, etc…). The meal plan was more southern (?) with items like quiche, casserole, salsa, spiced sausage, etc… Like I said, it was certainly good if that is your kind of breakfast. Just not our cup of tea. We might have rather gone out for breakfast if we knew that our breakfast would be along this line.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE GOOD:
1. The hostess, Suzie, was super sweet and sociable. We thoroughly enjoyed her company. As well as Cindy who was there serving a couple times at breakfast. Couldn’t ask for better hosts. Good conversationalists, but not pushy. If you want to relax and be reclusive you can.
2. The home was well decorated and warm. There was always classic Christmas music or classical music playing throughout the living, dining, and patio area. Always at a perfect volume. Very enjoyable.
3. The views were absolutely stunning, looking out over the orchards with mountains in the distance and beautiful hillsides.
4. The breakfasts were skillfully made and served in three courses with orange juice, coffee, and water. Different meal each day.
5. The second morning my wife asked for milk and they didn’t have any per their meal plans. But the next day they had gone out and got some for her knowing that she liked milk with her breakfast. We really appreciated that. They also brewed up some decaf coffee for my wife by request.
Over all, I would recommend this place to a friend. However, I hope that they resolve the water pressure issue. That is really the only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars.

This trip seemed like a dream … too good to be true. The gorgeous, stately house was peaceful and cozy with an old-​fashioned charm. We spent a good part of the weekend curled up by the fireplace reading, while snow drifted down outside and soft Christmas tunes wafted throughout the house. Pam and Susie were kind, fun and accommodating. The sumptuous full-​course breakfast made us feel like royalty! The house is the perfect distance from the bustle and energy of Leavenworth. Enjoy the vitality of Leavenworth, then escape back to the peace and tranquility of this turn of the century utopia. Will definitely be returning!

My wife and I were married here July 18, 2015. The staff was so wonderful. They made our day perfect in every way. We couldn’t have gone with a better venue for our wedding! A big thanks to every one there! Highly recommend for wedding or even a weekend getaway.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Pam showed us the venue and was SO kind as to help is through the whole wedding process! I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her!
We love Leavenworth and it’s kind of been our getaway spot since we got together & it’s so beautiful in the summer so we wanted to find a place near there for our wedding. It was hard to plan much of anything because this was basically a destination wedding for us, we had moved across country by the time we got engaged, but KNEW we wanted a venue in or near Leavenworth.
The value of this venue is unmatched! We had our rehearsal and wedding here. The four rooms was perfect for us as well as our immediate family for both nights. It was more than a blessing that Beecher provides the DJ as well as the Bartender! Pam even knocked it outta the park and decorated the tables for our rehearsal as well as the cake table at the wedding!
Pam ran out rehearsal as well as walked us through the recommended schedule of the wedding! I can’t thank her enough for everything that she did for us!
We hope to return to Beecher for a romantic anniversary weekend soon!!!

My wife and I just spent the weekend at this lovely B & B. The accommodations are excellent, the food fantastic, and the surroundings bucolic. Our hostess Suzie made us feel like we were in a 5 star resort.
When we arrived home we realized we had left some things in the room. When we called to let Suzie know she had already boxed them up and shipped them to us!
Could not recommend this B & B more highly.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Beecher Hill House for a little vacation this summer. We had an awesome time. Susie and Cindy were fantastic. So fun to chat with and very accommodating.
We stayed in the Sam Beecher Suite, which was amazing. It was beautiful, large and had a great view of the surrounding pear orchards.
The breakfast was fantastic. Seriously some of the best stuff I’ve ever had.
The location is super convenient for Leavenworth and the surrounding towns.

I’m usually too lazy to write reviews but I had such an amazing time at Beecher Hill House that I thought it would be a huge disservice to Susie and this amazing B&B to neglect them this small token of my gratitude.
My boyfriend and I spent two days here for our anniversary and it was such a wonderful, relaxing experience. The house has a beautiful, old-​fashioned charm to it and the grounds are lovely to stroll through. I booked the Alpine Room for our stay and we loved the rustic elegance in the furnishings as well as the spectacular views of the mountains from our window. The room is fairly small, but it only added to the coziness of it.
Susie, the innkeeper, is an absolute delight. She was incredibly welcoming and kind, and made the house feel like a home. On top of that, she cooked us amazing breakfasts both mornings– I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life.
I don’t think I can rave enough about this place. I found out about BHH from a Living Social deal and I’m so glad I did. I’d definitely go back.

My husband and I have been here twice. The house is a beautifully remodeled mansion from 1910. It has craftsman wood details and is decorated with European richness. The grounds are beautiful and a lot of the original details have been maintained. The new additions are perfectly seamed into the older parts.
The innkeeper, Susie is wonderful! Very focused on making the guests feel welcomed and cared for. She has been there since the place opened and was a chef prior to coming to the B&B — her food is great! We have stayed in two different bedrooms, one a suite and one a regular room — both very nice. The suite has a sitting room attached with great views over the acres of orchards and mountains surrounding the Inn. The regular rooms are in the middle but still have good views.
Things to know:
–The bathrooms are simple, clean and nice. No spa tub or fancy rain shower head. There are heated bars for the towels though!
–The mattress is a little bouncy/​soft but still comfortable.
–The TV (if you care about TV in the mountains) is small and not great but there is cable if you want it.
–The food is fabulous but we were served the same two dishes on both visits. More diversity would be nice.
–There is a wine/​snack hour in the evening which is great!
–You won’t find a place with nicer, more caring people!
ENJOY!

I was so fortunate to spend 2 nights at this B&B and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the service, the food, the friendly staff. Not to mention how wonderful the rooms are. I was fortunate enough to spend the nights in the Queen Marie suite and I truly felt like a Queen. I am sure the other rooms are equally as nice. The grounds and the view were beautiful. Ask the Inn Keeper about the history, it is very interesting. The rates are extremely reasonable for what you get. I cannot wait to go back!

I stayed at the Beecher Hill House for 2 nights, and I must say it was the most relaxing 2 nights I’ve ever had! The breathtaking view overlooks beautiful pear orchards, a small vineyard, and of course the gorgeous mountains surrounding Peshastin. This historic house has a beautiful terrace and grounds to walk around on, and there are many private and quiet places for you to get away from other guests, but it really is not necessary because there are only 4 rooms total in this mansion.
The interior design is just as beautiful as the exterior, and feels very cozy. Each room is gorgeous, and named after an important person or part of history that is connected to the house. I stayed in the Harvest Room, which had a beautiful view and an extremely comfortable bed. Not that you would spend your time watching television, but it is good to know that every room has a television with cable.
Finally, the staff was incredible! They are very attentive and friendly, and the inn-​keeper has a great knowledge about the history of the house as well. Breakfast was delicious, try the fresh fruit and granola parfait and individual apple bread loaves (made from apples that were grown nearby). There is also a nightly wine and cheese hour! Overall, this B&B is great for a relaxing or romantic getaway from the busy city of Seattle, or where ever you are coming from, and well worth the price!

This 100 year old mansion not only host weddings, it’s also an very good B&B. Staff is friendly, rooms are nice. We stayed there for Valentines Day. Nestled on a hillside surrounded by apple orchards. We want to return in the spring and see the surrounding apple orchards in bloom. Was so surprised that they were not in Unilocal.We are afraid to write a review because we do not want to share! The breakfast and staff are first rate!
