My wife and I spent 2 nights at the Highland Inn and enjoyed it tremendously. The view from the room and large deck are magnificent - listen to and spot orcas swimming in the straits. The king size bed, plush couch, and sheepskin rug all have views of the wood-burning fireplace. The decor is very tasteful and comfortable. Helen, the... more

I've been to many bed and breakfast inns but none come close to this gem. Imagine lying in a hammock on an 88 foot veranda overlooking Vancouver Island across the Strait of Haro while the whales frolic just past the deck - awesome view. When you tire of the view or the chill of the evening drives you inside, you... more

My husband and I stayed at the Highland Inn for the first time last week. We were treated royally by Helen, the innkeeper who met us with warm cookies. She also made two sumptuous breakfasts, where we could be served either in our room or in the dining room.The Inn is wonderfully appointed with a huge master suite with fireplace.... more

We just returned from spending three days and two nights at the Highland Inn on San Juan Island. I had heard about the Inn several years ago in Coastal Living magazine. There are only two suites both with awesome views of the Olympic Mountains, Victoria, BC and the Haro Sraits. The only sounds you hear at the inn are birds... more

Great suite, SO nice, but the service aspect was awful. Some of the soda in the fridge had been expired for nearly a year. The host had jury duty one morning, and instead of having someone else come in to make us breakfast, she made really greasy eggs, sausage and out of the freezer hash brown wedges and left them... more

I have traveled many places and stayed at many B & B's across the country and I can honestly say that this is by far the best and prettiest place I have ever stayed. If you are looking for a place for rest, relaxation, enjoy nature and to unwind - -this is it. We didn't want to leave - including... more

We arrived a little earlier than planned, and were warmly welcomed by our hostess, Helen King. She made us very comfortable, thoroughly explaining the details of fine attributes of our suite, i.e. gas assisted wood fire, steam shower, etc. She answered our questions about the area and where to dine. In the morning,along with the guests from the other suite,... more

We found this lovely inn via the Internet and were really pleased. It is owned by Helen King, who has a long history of innkeeping and knows what she is doing. Her afternoon cookies are a specialty not to be missed! The Inn has two, almost identical rooms that flank a central living room and kitchen area. A long deck... more

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
