The story
Tucked into a peaceful pastoral setting just outside Friday Harbor, Trumpeter Inn offers a rare opportunity to step into a life shaped by connection, hospitality & place. Named for trumpeter swans that winter nearby, the inn has welcomed guests since 1989 & has grown into one of the area’s top-rated boutique accommodations, known for its warm, personalized experience & loyal repeat clientele. Set on approximately five pristine acres with views of the Olympic Mtns., the property blends the charm of a boutique retreat with the privacy & scale of an island estate. The 3,414 sq ft inn features well-appointed guest suites and inviting common spaces, complemented by a separate 1,232 sq ft owner’s cottage for private living. A proven income-producing property, the inn generates over $300,000 annually, creating immediate income potential with opportunities for growth. A 1,200 sq ft accessory building, currently leased at market rate, offers supplemental income or flexible use as a studio, workshop, or expanded guest amenity. The grounds include open lawns, mature trees, and an orchard, creating a peaceful setting just minutes from the ferry and town. With its thoughtful layout & generous acreage, the property offers exceptional versatility—suited for continued inn operation, a retreat or event-based business, multi-generational living, or small-scale farming or equestrian use.Seller is a licensed real estate broker in the State of WA & has an ownership interest in the selling entity.
