Having never stayed in a B and B before, we did not know what to expect. Wow! what a treat. We arrived on the island, called as requested, and confirmed our 2:00 arrival. We were greated with a smile and a plate of warm cookies and tea. The inn keeper, Mrs. King, then showed us to our room and promptly... more

When my husband and I are in need of a get-away, we look for a great B&B. The Highland Inn of San Juan Island was the perfect escape for a weekend away from the stress of work and as a 50th birthday celebration. When we arrived, we were greeted by the innkeeper, Helen, with hot cookies from the oven and... more

The Highland Inn is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed. The room is beautifully appointed, the scenery is lovely, and the view of the water (and a few whales!) was incredible. However, my boyfriend and I tried to talk to the Innkeeper several times, and she was not friendly or flexible. When I asked for a cup... more

The nicest and best designed B&B we have ever found. The two large guest rooms are separated by a huge common area so you will have complete quiet with a great view in gorgeous surroundings. The proprietress is really nice and helpful but also respects your privacy if you want to be left alone. I can't imagine a complaint about... more

My wife and I have stayed in inns all over the world and I can say without a doubt that the Highland Inn is one of the finest. The house is exceptionally charming and set deep in the hills of the island giving it an "otherwordly" feel. My wife commented that it felt like we were in a Tolkein novel.... more

I have stayed in many fine hotels and the accomodations at the Highland Inn rank second to none. Without a doubt you will enjoy the peace and quite this venue provides. The views are breathtaking and the inn has a style to match. Helen is accomodating, yet lets you have your privacy. The meals are outstanding. Where do you dine... more

We had our morning coffee on our deck and watched as the fog lifted and revealed a tree-covered slope leading to the very-near salt water. Before long, my husband was asking, "Did you see that? It looked almost like a fin. There it is again!" We did that for a few minutes until WOW, I saw it too! Then, as... more

I was thrilled to make reservations at the beautiful Highland Inn. And is it beautiful and well appointed. But Helen nearly ruined our entire, and very expensive, trip to the San Juans. She was unaccomodating, condescending and shockingly rude for a high-end B&B hostess with apparant years of experience. We were scolded for watching the whales when we should have... more

Having travelled to the San Juans for the past thirty years I can share with you that the Highland Inn on San Juan Island is by far the best B & B you will find in the islands. It is not the least expensive, but worth every penny for a romantic and quiet place to chill out. Panoramic views of... more
