After 20+ years of visiting inns, I have consumed my fair share of great cookies, but I have never experienced cookies as good as the ones the Wild Iris Inn bakes each day-they even had Mardi trying to get the recipe.
An inn designed to feel like a country manor, Wild Iris Inn presents a picture-perfect place to rest during a full weekend of watching whales in Puget Sound, viewing fields of spring tulips, and shopping and dining in La Conner.
Hosts Steve and Lori became innkeepers thanks to their love of sailing in the waters near La Conner. Lori had been working in sales and marketing in the hotel industry for 25 years, and Steve worked in the food and beverage area of the hotel industry for eight years prior to becoming a lawyer. Their sailing afforded them plenty of opportunities to visit La Conner, and they fell in love with the town's unique character. They soon realized they could use their hotel knowledge and live in a town they truly enjoyed. It took six years to find their ideal inn: the Wild Iris.
We have long been boaters and love to explore the waterways but after a week or so together we need a break. So now on every trip north we tie up in La Conner and stay for a day or two at the Wild Iris. After some great hosting, warm breakfasts and a room with a hot tub and down comforters, by the time we depart we are ready for another week of total togetherness.
