    "We moved here in 1999 when we purchased our B&B in South Cle Elum. The food, supplies for our mountain cabin adventures, and eventually our home and business won our hearts over," Mary recalls.

Upon their purchasing of the Iron Horse Inn, the Pittis Family continued the legacy as just the third owners since it had become a bed and breakfast. Prior to its conversion in the 1980's by the Moore Family, the Iron Horse Inn existed as a railroad bunkhouse until 1974. Fast forward 18 years and you'll find "seven bright and airy rooms upstairs," each of which is named after a railroad crewman who had actually slept there! Take a tour of these charming little rooms ironhorseinnbb.com now, from the comfort of wherever you are.

The Pittises have completely flourished in their roles as Innkeepers, having the chance to really enjoy the simple things.

    "Our favorite part of the day is serving breakfast to guests who come from all over the world--their interactions in the dining room just confirms the saying 'everyone is connected by six degrees!'," Mary marvels.

Morning breakfast is a truly delicious experience, made daily by Doug himself, is a renowned tradition at the Iron Horse Inn. For that added special touch, breakfast is always served on oval "peacock" plates, which were once used on the Milwaukee Railroad's dining cars. Doug's famous breakfast isn't the only special thing the Pittises enjoy being able to go the extra mile for their guests to truly enhance this one-of-a-kind stay.
