Geiger Victorian Bed & Breakfast

I don’t think there’s enough space for me to post enough positive comments for the Geiger Victorian in Tacoma to do it justice. I grew up in Tacoma and left in 1999. I love seeing my family but never look forward to returning to Tacoma to visit. But our stay showed us how North Tacoma has change so much in the past 20 years. The Geiger Victorian is just another example of how North Tacoma has struck the much sought after and extremely rare balance of quaint and hip. Jane and Skip have a charming place and are the most hospitable hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The Decour is whimsically reminiscent of historic Tacoma, the service sincerely adorable and the breakfast is amazing! We’re definitely going back.

Close to U. of Puget Sound and good, quaint restaurants. Nice area, house restored to Victorian era with many curios, antiques and murals on walls and ceiling. You can see the pride Jane and Skip have in their property and love sharing stories about their work. We appreciated help with luggage up the stairs, the yummy breakfast and afternoon/​evening tea service. What a treat it was to wind down a busy day sipping my tea in the tranquility of the house at night as well as on the porch during the afternoon. Soaking in the iron-​cast, clawfoot bathtub in the spacious bathroom was also a real treat! We enjoyed our accommodations in Amy’s Room. This was my 87-​year old mother’s first stay at a B&B and she is still talking about it!

This is one of the best B&B’s I’ve every stayed at.
— My stay was at Amy’s Room. Comfy bed with luxurious sheets. Unbelievably soft pillows.
— I was greeted kindly at the door upon my arrival.
— There were complimentary, delightful cookies just outside my bedroom door.
— I had the hallway from the room to a large bathroom to myself.
— There’s working wifi and cable tv! A ton of DVD’s are also available.
— There’s complimentary tea downstairs.
— There’s a robe.
— The house is beautifully decorated in Victorian theme and there’s also a miniature doll house in the hallway upstairs and lots of books.
— The water in the bathroom flows like silk.
— Owner showed me how the bath works. The owners themselves are gracious and accommodating.
— Bath ceiling is wood (upstairs, used with Amy’s room reservation)! Claw foot tub to shower in.
The only thing I didn’t like much were the numerous clocks. Though it alarmed every hour, it was charming.

What a great Unilocal find! We were in town for my niece’s high school graduation and wanted to stay near downtown in a B&B instead of a downtown Tacoma hotel. We stayed in «Amy’s room» and the bed was heavenly! We also had our own private bath down the hall. Staying at this Victorian B&B was such a treat! It felt like stepping back into history but with modern amenities.
Most impressive with this whole trip was the hospitality of our hosts — Skip and Jane! Jane’s breakfasts were delicious and made even more delightful when Skip and Jane joined us for coffee and conversation! I’m pretty sure we could’ve talked to them for hours learning about their love affair with this big beautiful home and the family they raised here!
You can’t go wrong by booking a night (or longer!) at the Geiger Victorian B&B!

Beautiful place in the middle of the historical district of Tacoma. Skip and Jane were just as pleasant as could be. We staying the Virginia Mason room and it was beautiful and comfortable. We have stayed in some older homes that were a little creepy but this was very comfortable. Coffee by our door in the morning and a lovely breakfast in the main dining room. Affordable and just plain comfortable! I love it! Close to all the downtown hot spots and parking was easy right in front.

We just spent seven days at the Geiger B&B in the historic area of Tacoma and were very, very pleased with both our comfortable accommodations as well as the warm, friendly hospitality of our hosts, Jane and Skip. The breakfasts were delicious, and our bed in the Virginia Mason suite was really comfortable. The entire suite with it’s sitting area was very cozy and it’s Victorian design was truly exquisite. The entire home is furnished with Victorian antiques, hand painted murals, and the like. It is located in a great part of town, and is very close to the University of Puget Sound. Our hosts were very helpful with suggesting good nearby restaurants as well. Put it to the top of your B&B list for the Tacoma area and you will be very glad that you did!

Please don’t miss out on the opportunity, neigh, the privilege to stay at the Geiger Victorian B&B! Every facet of this home is absolutely charming! I cannot emphasize enough the gratitude that filled me for being able to spend a night here! I was in the Seattle area for a few days to celebrate my third year anniversary. The night we spent here was perfect. The owners were warm, welcoming, informative, friendly, sincere, interesting; go ahead, think of any positive word and add it to the list. I have a restricted diet and the Hostess was so accommodating! She cooks breakfast for her guests and uses fresh veggies from her garden and local produce as well. She really makes you feel like you are a part of her family. She did warn us about the bed we were to sleep in and she was right, it is the most comfortable bed! We totally didn’t even hear our alarm go off because we were lost in lala land. Just writing about makes me wish i was there! The cost per night is more than reasonable. For what they give you, it feels like a total steal. Oh, and the décor, i can’t leave it out! I collect antiques and let me just tell you, they have an amazing collection of trinkets, furniture, paintings, lighting, flooring, everything. They paid total attention to detail. This Bed and Breakfast is a gem! please give your business to this place because it is so deserving. It tops all places i have ever stayed! Thank you thank you thank you to the owners. You are amazing people and we are so grateful that you do what you do. We are already planning our next trip and you better believe we plan to stay here!

Geiger Victorian is beyond a good Bed and Breakfast. The linens are exceptional. Hosts are born to do what they are doing. Great Neighborhood. Absolutely unique furnishings including fine art and some incredible antiques.
The outdoor space cant be beat. Hot tub included. Will forever and always stay at this BnB when in town.

If you’re looking for a great B&B to stay at in the beautiful historic part of Tacoma, this is it. The couple that owns it [not using names for privacy purposes] is super nice and accommodating and it was a pleasure hanging out with them and chatting every morning at breakfast. The house and gardens are beautiful and the yellow room super cozy. A big thumbs up!
