What an amazing weekend at Crippen Creek Inn! The farm was beautiful, the food was fantastic (had homemade focaccia bread, panna cotta (cooked cream) with fresh berries, pasta Puttanesca Verde, red wine, chocolate croissants, farm fresh eggs!) and the room was better than a hotel. Don & Kitty have made their home into a haven for weary travelers needing to get out of the city and get into nature. I got to feed the pigs, say Hi to the new cows and pet "Bruce" the dog (best dog ever!). The room was spotless and the bed super comfy. I woke up to sunshine streaming thru large windows and......quiet. Awwww. I slept over 10 hrs the first night I was there! The best part about Crippen Creek besides Don and Kitty is the location! It was a quick drive to Astoria, Cannon Beach (in OR) or Long Beach and Disappointment State Park/Ilwaco (in WA) from the farm. I was there on a holiday weekend and traffic was clear and the farm is located up and away from the highway so no white noise. It was just a perfect weekend and definitely will be going back! Don is an amazing chef and has cooking classes for anyone interested in his Italian secrets. Kitty is a super host who can knit, needlepoint and feed farm animals all in the same fell swoop. Thank you for such a great stay

“Again, how can we thank you adequately for providing us with the scarcest resource for city folk…..silence, and not the ‘quiet’ kind of silence, but rather the ‘silence’ that only arises in presence…the pure desire to be in no other place.The cooking class was astounding.
