What They Say About Us
Adventure!…and fish
This place is gorgeous! Incredible views and incredible fishing! Thanks for the memories! While here I caught a 57 lb halibut for the first time ever and we had great weather. We also saw ocean waterfalls and cannot wait to go back to Namu as well.
Fishing, Sight Seeing, Gathering with Friends
This is an absolute gem of a spot. This is our first visit and we enjoyed every moment of the cottage, the view and the location. We loved the breathtaking scenery, our ocean experience and of course the fishing, whale watching and eagles! There was so much to see and do! We caught so many fish, we had no need to go out! Loved having fresh fish every night!
World Class West Coast Salmon Fishing!
This is beyond anyone’s imagination. Such a gorgeous place. Everything one could ever need to make a perfect stay, the only thing missing was Frank & Janet! We had calm water and the sun was shining most of the time. I would recommend Frank and Janet’s Bed and Breakfast Resort, the best place you could ever stay!
Fishing, Sight Seeing, and Eating 🙂
Absolutely love this place and all that you’ve done to make it feel special! So much space! Felt so spoiled! We loved seeing the whales, dolphins and fish jumping out of the water. And of course, salmon, salmon and more salmon. Plus the amazing fish fry at the end of the week. Definitely the greatest place we have ever stayed at!
Fish, Fish, and maybe a little fishing…
Stunning property – I expected no less from Frank and Janet!! Thanks for all the hard work to make the best fishing lodge on the West Coast. I loved watching Todd catch his first halibut and the scenery.
We had an excellent time!
Thank you so much, we had an excellent time! Fishing, visiting, telling stories…to be continued I hope!
Thanks again!

After taking in the ocean views for the first time I cried because it was so beautiful. Open waters is quite an experience. We had the best weather our whole trip. The food and fishing were amazing! Thank you
