KINGSTON — Debi and Courtland Goetz want to make sure their guests feel relaxed and at peace when they come to visit and revitalized when they depart. A dose of fresh fruit juice, the Goetzes agree, helps accomplish this goal.

The new innkeepers of the Kingston House Bed & Breakfast have made a few changes to the 1913 structure, which has been housing out-of-town guests for nearly a decade.

Debi said the signature item is in the kitchen — freshly squeezed fruit juice. Guests can select items from the fruit bar and Debi or Courtland will whip up a glass of juice or a smoothie in the kitchen. For breakfast, Debi fixes “whatever the cook fancies that morning,” including French toast, omelettes, roasted potatoes, eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh biscuits or toast.

Debi said she eventually wants to get approval from the Kitsap County Health Department for a commercial kitchen so she can start selling some of her own culinary creations.

“I have an excess of fresh fruit pulp (from juicing),” she said with a laugh. “I want to be able to sell fresh fruit bread.”

She describes the house atmosphere to be “just like home.”

“I want it to feel like when you walk in, you want to stay,” she said.

The living room and dining areas are decorated with soft yellows and hunter greens for a Victorian feel.

There are two sleeping areas — “The Garden Room” on the first floor and “The Lighthouse Suite” on the second floor.

“The Garden Room” is a single room with a double bed and “The Lighthouse Suite” has a queen size bed and daybed/trundle bed. Both rooms have televisions, Internet access, foot spas and views of Puget Sound.

There is also a pellet stove that warms the whole house, Debi said.

“Everything from old to brand new — there is so much collectibility, there is so much going on here,” she said about the furniture.

There is also an information center for guests, providing as many tidbits as possible about things to do in Kitsap County.

“I’ve been wanting to do a bed and breakfast for 20 years,” Debi said, noting when she married Courtland four years ago, they both found they had the same dream. “I love the designing aspect of it. I love the customer service part of it.”

The Goetzes discovered the property in January when they learned their realtor owned the Kingston House. Within three weeks, the couple had a business license and the b&b was up and running.

“I just came in and said to my husband, ‘This could be really cute,’” Debi said.

However, she has been planning for this moment for a long time, as her former residence was filling up with pieces of furniture that she hoped someday would fill a b&b. The dining tables and chairs, a couch, chairs and hutch were just some of the things stored in her home, “in anticipation of doing something,” Debi said.

The house is also available for rent for meetings of 8-10 people. “You could do everything from Mary Kay to a business meeting or just a tea,” Debi said. She also plans to hold monthly events, starting with a fashion show in March.

Debi said she feels that the quality breakfast service and warm atmosphere makes the business unique.

“Most serve (breakfast) continental,” she said. “I serve a full breakfast.”

The couple would also like to create a spa area, including adding a hot tub, however, Debi said, “I think I’m for anything that comes my way.”

The couple has learned how to serve their customers better already, such as staying up all night to play board games or adjusting eating times to guest’s schedules.

“I guess I’m just pliable,” Debi said with a smile.
