About the Owner.
Welcome to Queen Anne’s Inn. I’m Lela Bones—the owner, innkeeper, and creative mind behind this little dream come to life. With a background in mathematics and computer science, I’ve spent much of my career in the world of software engineering. But as an extrovert in a deeply introverted field, I often found myself craving deeper human connection, beauty, and tangible creativity in my daily life. That yearning led me here—to a stately 1890s Victorian home that I’m lovingly transforming into Queen Anne’s Inn. This space is more than just a place to stay; it’s a heartfelt invitation to step back in time, savor elegance, and feel truly welcomed. Queen Anne’s Inn is where my technical mind meets my love for people, hospitality, and historic charm. From the thoughtful details in each room to the warm conversations over coffee, my hope is to create a space where guests feel both cared for and inspired. My long-term dream is to transition fully from software to innkeeping—devoting my time to growing this space, connecting with guests, and making each stay special. I’m so glad you’ve found us. I can’t wait for Moose (german shepherd) & Noel (golden retriever) and I to welcome you. With warmth, Lela Bones
