Yakima Bed And Breakfast Guide For WA Visitors

By Shawn Houston


Yakima bed and breakfast stays offer perhaps one of the best ways to experience the serenity and pleasure of a Washington wine country getaway. Imagine a gourmet breakfast spread followed by an afternoon snooze on a countryside porch with the wind rippling across the apple orchard. Another option would be a riverside stay in a winery for a culinary vacation with themed dinners and wine tastings.

The picturesque Yakima Valley provides many more varied experiences like this. There's a lot of demand for tourism here, given the prolific production of wines and huge apple orchards. There are at least 26 B&Bs dotting the valley from Naches to downtown Yakima and all the way up to Prosser.

Visitors can choose from leafy downtown mansions, farmhouses in the Cascade Mountain foothills or isolated homes hidden in a canyon. There are five B&Bs in the downtown area, just a quick hop from the wineries. Guests staying here can expect to be treated like family, with full breakfasts and cupcakes and cookies.

It's quite normal to be enjoying a multi-course gourmet meal with quails and pheasants on the table while watching wild birds frolic outside the window. There are several groups of such B&Bs in every community in the valley, including Zillah, Sunnyside and Prosser. Not to mention the apple country en-route to Naches.

The Old Naches Highway will provide guests with a refreshing apple orchard stay. Rooms decorated just like country homes in the area provide a homely touch, with in-room breakfast and cookies and tea or coffee served throughout the day. A pleasant weekend spent roaming the wineries and orchards and lazing on the porch takes away all the stress of city life and leaves guests yearning for a longer stay.

Wine lovers and those interested in a culinary vacation may want to pencil in a stay in Prosser. To be specific, a stay in a winery alongside the river where they have a tasting room and a demonstration kitchen to keep their guests occupied. All these different types of Yakima bed and breakfast stays will inevitably lead to a happy wine country holiday in Washington. yakima bed and breakfast
