The incredible views are matched by the beautiful attention paid to the smallest detail in both the room and the house. One of the most comfortable rooms we have ever stayed in with both a fabulous steam shower and jetted tub. The attention by Helen was perfect: attentive without being intrusive, helpful in terms of finding restaurants and places to... More

I'm way behind in writing a review for this wonderful B&B. My husband and I spent three weeks on a road trip from central California to the NW May 2012. I did a ton of research to find the dozens of places in which we stayed along the way. Although this B&B had mixed reviews, I chose it knowing that... More

We spent two nights at the Highland Inn this week based on a recommendation in Karen Brown's book on Pacific NW itineraries. When we got there we saw the Inn is on the market for sale by owner & found out it has been off & on for a while. Perhaps that explains some reviewers & our own observations about... More

If you idea of perfection is a quiet two room inn, with a spacious comfortable suite and a 180 degree view up and down the bay with the mountains of Vancouver Island in the distance and glorious sunsets, this is the place for you. The. Innkeeper, Helen King, is welcoming, happy to point out where to go for dinner or... More

My husband and I recently spent 5 days at the Highland Inn of San Juan Island and had the most wonderful time. The Inn is on a forested hill overlooking the Haro Strait with exceptional views of Vancouver Island, ocean views of harbor porpoise, sea birds and orcas. In addition, the Inn itself is beautifully furnished and run by Helen... More

My wife and I selected the Highland Inn primarily based upon TripAdvisor. A good decision for our trip to the San Juan Islands overall. To begin, I do understand how some travelers may view Helen's approach or welcome as distant or unwelcoming, but we felt this was a matter of perspective. She was more than accommodating for our two-day stay... More

We spent three very memorable days. We were greeted warmly and shown to our room. Each morning we were greeted with a warm "Good Morning" and a wonderful yummy two course breakfast. We could choose where we wanted our breakfast served - dining room, our room, or on the deck. After being out during the day we would come back... More

My wife and I needed a trip to relax and reconnect in beautiful surroundings, with no particular schedule or agenda of activities. The Highland Inn was a great choice for this. We got to sample both rooms: they are of nearly identical mirror-image design with some differences in color scheme. We ended up with a slight personal preference for the... More

This is a perfect place to stay when visiting San Juan Island! There are only two rooms so it is a quiet and very serene place to stay. The rooms are large and extremely well appointed. The deck provides even more space plus beautiful views of Victoria, BC., the Olympic mountain range and local birds enjoying the feeders just off... More
