Hi, I am Clare Monnin, owner and steward of The Dungeness Barn House Bed and Breakfast. I like to say that this property found me: I first fell in love with this place 30 years ago before it was on the market. The beauty of the land immediately drew me in, but it wasn't a B&B yet...it wasn't even for sale. 

​

I was crazy about the Barn House from the start, but I was scared I was too young to retire and leave a good job with benefits. Berta (the previous owner) and I reconnected years later when she was ready to sell: she also felt that this place was meant to be mine - even though she had an offer from a couple in Seattle, she held off until I was ready to sell my place and finally make Dungeness Barn House my home.​​​​

​

Since I moved into the space in 2015, I have poured so much of myself and my energy into the gardens, home, and land. I worked with my son to create the gourmet kitchen of my dreams, restored the landscape, made structural improvements, and upgraded all the suites to reflect my clean, coastal farmhouse vision.

 

I wake up with gratitude every day: as I continue to welcome guests in my home, I am expanding my business to include events, retreats, and workshops. The Insider's Club launches in October 2024: artists, creatives, and practitioners are welcome to pitch their ideas and work with the Barn House team to bring their events to life on the property. Dinner parties, book clubs, meditation retreats, game nights, and much more. ​

​

Intention

The intention for the Dungeness Barn House at Two Crows Farm is to provide a unique and memorable retreat for guests, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the rustic charm of the farm. The Barn House aims to offer a peaceful and rejuvenating experience, allowing guests to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.​

​

Mission Statement

May this business always be a sanctuary of peace and serenity.

May all who visit here be lifted in spirit, and calmed and nourished in mind and body.

So may it be that I contribute to this healing with my efforts and my resources. 

As steward of the property, I will continue to be committed to this special place and move the business forward with purpose.
