We rate a B&B by how well we sleep and how well we eat. The Trumpeter Inn gets top "zzz's" and top "mmm's!". You will sleep well and eat even better when staying with Larry and Cheryl. Larry goes out of his way to make sure you are well orientated to the Island, and Cheryl makes sure you are well fed to do the exploring. As a bonus, Cheryl did us a huge favor and printed out our boarding passes for our flight home! (Wow, service!) We found these folks by accident (or was it?) and no breakfast or bed since (including my own) meets what we experienced at the Trumpeter Inn. Kudos Larry and Cheryl!

We stayed at the Trumpeter Inn for 3 nights (Aug. 1, 2, 3) and felt completely pampered. Hosts Larry and Cheryl Hoppe went out of their way to meet our needs and treat us royally, from picking us up at the ferry, to finding us a car rental, to guiding our tour of the island, to returning us to the ferry. The location outside Friday Harbor was set among rolling hills and pasture land home to cows, llamas, horses. What a peaceful setting! When we discovered that a walk into Friday Harbor was not going to be as easy as we had anticipated, Larry suggested a car rental company that would bring a vehicle to us -- almost on the spot. It worked out beautifully and allowed us to spend one full day touring the island. The breakfasts were "spectacular" and the late afternoon/evening cookies and cool drinks were also special. We stayed in the "Sage" room and found it very attractive and comfortable as well as nicely ventilated with corner windows. When we left, my husband (who traditionally doesn't like bed and breakfast inns) said, "I think this is the nicest place we have ever stayed!"

This was a delightful three day experience. The Trumpeter is located in a beautiful meadow right outside of Friday Harbor. The accommodations are outstanding. We had the Rosemary room with it's own balcony. Outstanding breakfasts everyday. You can easily go to two meals a day and save money. Cheryl and Larry are wonderful people and try in everyway to make your stay memorable. We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed at this Inn and had a truly delightful experience!

The rooms were spacious, clean and inviting. The hosts, Cheryl and Larry, could not have been more helpful, charming and accommodating.

They are fabulous cooks. Breakfasts were the BEST we have ever had at an Inn!

We highly recommend this as a WONDERFUL experience.
