There was total privacy and the breakfast was perfect Peaceful lovely rooms with fantastic views on October 02, 2015 My daughter and I stayed at the Inn last weekend. The room with queen bed and loft twin bed was gorgeous and had a spectacular view of the water. Very peaceful, clean, well furnished. Great get away from downtown but close enough to drive in for dinner. Wonderful Inn Keepers with full cooked breakfast. Best of all was the dock out back where we saw otters! on August 16, 2013 This is a perfect destination in Victoria. We had an outstanding time. Tiffany was a gracious host with numerous recommendations for eating and places to visit. We will be back. Kayaking in the lagoon on March 25, 2013
What a beautiful setting and a wonderful place to relax and rest. We enjoyed our stay in room #1, the honeymoon suite for our 1 year wedding anniversary in March 2013. We enjoyed the comfort of the room, the friendly staff at Birds of a Feather, the scenic views... Kayaking in the lagoon and out to the lighthouse was much fun, even in the rain! Matt did an excellent job and was great company. Although a short stay for us, we feel relaxed and rejuvenated from our daily life at home & were blessed to be able to enjoy the beautiful views from this room. Thank you again very much! Hot Stone Massage really hit the spot! on March 17, 2013 Dieter + Co., I would like to thanks you for a wonderful 25th Wedding Anniversary Vacation. The room and location are so beautiful, both Hope and I agree that it is more than we ever expected, your B+B we'll recommend to all that as for a good place to visit. Holly, the breakfasts each day were fantastic and we really enjoyed the conversations that went along with them.
Good luck to you in the future be it here or back in England. We hope that the future is all that you want it to be. Stephanie and Andrea's Hot Stone Massage really hit the spot, and we thank them and we will be calling again when we return. As a bonus we just got a sendoff by a pair of sea otters, this place is so awesome. Thanks for a great time and we will be back. on April 28, 2011 This has been a wonderful place to spend a few days while on vacation. It was a very relaxing place to get away. I enjoy how, even though it feels very friendly, it is run very professionally. It is easy to see that the owner takes a lot of pride in his establishment. I also enjoyed canoeing for the first time. Your place is beautiful and we will certainly be back! Fabulous hospitality at this amazing B&B! on April 27, 2011 Thanks Dieter & Ashley for your fabulous hospitality and amazing B&B. It was such a treat to stay at Birds of a Feather. The location was perfect, the mini kitchenette was perfect for preparing simple meals, and I loved the fireplace and big bath tub.
The view from my room overlooked the lagoon, with spectacular sunrises. The accommodation and environment were so peaceful, that I found I was able to relax and be cozy. All of this was well worth every penny, and I highly recommend staying at Birds of a Feather! The breakfast was amazing in this wonderfully located sea side B and B. The hosts were perfectly charming. Well worth the visit. My wife, small daughter and I spent 2 weeks in the family suite at Birds of a Feather when we first arrived in Victoria and had a wonderful time. The suite was very comfortable with beautiful views of the lagoon and the dense forest surroundings made for spectacular scenic walks. The breakfasts were delicious and Ashley & Dieter are friendly, accommodating and gracious hosts that really helped make our stay there a memorable one. Thanks Birds of a Feather! I had a wonderful stay here in the honeymoon suite for my anniversary and we had a fantastic time. The rooms were great and the food was amazing.
There's lots to do on and around the property, we went for a kayak in the lagoon. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Victoria looking to be close to the city but with the peace and quiet of the country. > furniture in Terrace Get an alert with the newest ads for furniture in Terrace. > beds, mattresses in Terrace Get an alert with the newest ads for beds, mattresses in Terrace.Mattress Collection and Recycling Locations Residents and businesses: search What Do I Do With...? for local mattress recycling locations. Used mattresses destined for landfill disposal. It is estimated that upwards of 40 million mattresses with box springs are disposed in the U.S. each year1, with each piece taking up to 40 cubic feet of landfill space. King County's transfer stations and landfill received about 90,000 mattresses weighing more than 3000 tons for disposal in 2011.2 A California study (external) calculated that the collection and recycling of all of the 4.2 million mattresses and box springs estimated to be thrown out annually in California would create roughly 1,000 jobs, while greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by between 130,000 and 190,000 metric tons (carbon dioxide equivalent).
According to estimates from the mattress industry's International Sleep Products Association (PDF 108KB), landfills lose money when mattresses are landfilled because municipal solid waste compacts much more than mattresses. In addition, Greater Vancouver Regional District (external, PDF), British Columbia, found that mattresses can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage to long-haul vehicles and to transfer station and landfill equipment. Alternatives to mattress disposal include recycling, charitable donation for reuse, and refurbishing for resale or donation. While recycling options are currently limited in the Pacific Northwest, there is great potential for recycling. Mattresses are made up of several recyclable materials, including polyurethane foam, cotton, wood and steel coils (see the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (external) for more on mattress components). Several organizations in Washington State disassemble and recycle mattresses: Spring Back Mattress Recycling Northwest (external) works in King and Pierce Counties and Arlington Recycle Warehouse (external) works in Snohomish County.
(Note that Correctional Industries, of the Washington State Department of Corrections, no longer recycles mattresses as of August 1, 2014, R5 Systems, Inc. went out of business in early 2014, and A Plus Removal and Recycling closed in late 2015.) There are three mattress recyclers in the Vancouver, B.C. area and one in Eugene, Ore. (See mattress resources for more information.) In addition, Parklane Mattresses provides mattress collection and recycling through St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County, Ore., in the Portland-Vancouver, Wash. metropolitan area. To strengthen the mattress collection infrastructure and processing capacity in King County, LinkUp convened a Mattress Recycling Summit in Kent in December 2011 and again in September 2014. In addition, LinkUp partnered with local businesses to form the Take it Back Network of mattress collection and recycling locations. For more on the Summit and LinkUp's activities, visit the mattress recycling project. LinkUp's eNewsLink newsletter regularly highlights current events in mattress recycling, including the Fall 2013 and Spring 2012 issues.
