Very cute and homie. The landscaping was very extravagant and nice ! It felt like you were in a garden. We received one of two rooms downstairs. The one room with the large king bed. The other room was not rented. It is one at a time for downstairs. They do also have a room upstairs available for guests. Which was rented already Décor was very cute and woodsy. It was the finished basement of the residence. There was a spacious living room area with a TV and fireplace, full bathroom and fridge/microwave area in the mud room. A coffee station. Very little amenities so bring your own shampoo. Continental breakfast was slim. Juice and fruit. We did have ice cream and banana bread before bed. The hosts were very nice

Great B&B and reasonable price! Bill was a wonderful host. He uses all of his strengths to create a very comfortable B&B experience. He’s an excellent landscaper and chef which shows in his lovely gardens and delicious and generous breakfasts. The upstairs room where we stayed was clean, stylishly decorated, and made us feel at home. Bill seems like a host who would give his guests the privacy they needed. We stayed at a B&B so that we could talk with a local about the surrounding areas for possible relocation. Bill spent time with us when we arrived and again after he prepared breakfast giving us general information about good locations, answering our questions, and also gave us wise advice. Thank you Bill for your hospitality!

I really try not to give out too many 5-star reviews because I’m a cranky weirdo who thinks too many people are too generous with 5-star reviews, rendering the whole system worthless. Anyway: Above the Sound genuinely deserves every star. My in-laws stayed here for nine nights and ten days and their experience was outstanding. They started out in the ground floor suite, which was spacious and cool(very welcome during the heat wave) and very comfortable. Another couple had booked the suite for the holiday, so halfway through their stay my in-laws moved upstairs to a smaller but equally lovely room.(This had all been worked out ahead of time. Bill was gracious and helpful when it came to their move.) The ground floor suite is very groovy and off-beat. It’s full of antiques and taxidermy and I liked it a lot. We joined my husband’s parents there for dinner(cold cuts and salad from a local grocery) and it was just right. The upstairs room is a little more like a traditional hotel room. Comfortable, clean, breezy, and just nice. My husband and my parents and myself all spent a lot of time visiting with the in-laws in both spaces and personally I’d be happy to spend a few nights in either. The breakfasts were INCREDIBLE. My in-laws were generous enough to invite us to join them for breakfast several times. All they had to do was give Bill a heads-up a day in advance and pay a small additional fee to cover our meals – UNBELIEVABLE food, with exceptional presentation and kind, attentive service. The fruit! The eggs! The everything! Bill and Cindy accommodated my weird dietary restrictions(I’m a bariatric patient) without a blink so I was able to join the family in a wonderful meal without compromising my food regimen. Seriously, everything was great about my in-laws’ stay at Above the Sound but the breakfasts were the standout attraction. If my in-laws didn’t want to do the full breakfast on a given day, there was a lovely continental breakfast available. I’m so glad we know about this place now; definitely recommending Above the Sound to future out-of-town visitors.

Bill and Cindy were overly accommodating. Everything they said they would provide they did. It was just the two of us but we had the whole suite making it nice to come«home» to at the end of the day. The décor was definitely lodge-like. They have a certain affection for Moose, Deer, Ducks, Foxes and… a Stuffed Bob cat. They provided free sodas and bottled waters and there is access to a full sized fridge, microwave, dishes and flatware. There was also free wireless. I’d recommend bringing your own shampoo but they put out small samples. The room and towels were cleaned daily. Close to sunnyside beach and the views in this area were incredible. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Our flight out was late in the evening and they let us hang out on the property and use the bathroom until the next guests arrived. They also offered more water for our trip. And the price is definitely worth it.

I stayed here for two nights on a recent trip and was very pleased. Bill and his wife are very friendly and accommodating. The guest residence has a private entrance and has a rustic«moose» theme to it. The family room is comfy with a fireplace and HDTV. Breakfast was DELICIOUS and generous. Definitely recommended if you’re in the area and need a place to stay.
