Luxury Bed & Breakfast in Friday Harbor
We are Claudia and Tyrone Wilkinson, proud owners of Trumpeter Inn Bed and Breakfast since 2021. Our journey began with a cross-country search for the perfect home, which led us to San Juan Island's unparalleled natural beauty. The Trumpeter Inn, established in 1989, offers six elegantly appointed rooms with modern amenities including private decks, gas fireplaces, and scenic views. Our property spans five acres with panoramic vistas of the Olympic Mountains and proximity to Friday Harbor's attractions. Claudia's background in ecotourism and fine dining, combined with Tyrone's construction expertise, ensures exceptional hospitality and property maintenance. We prioritize personalized service, offering a daily homemade breakfast bar featuring rotating dishes and locally inspired treats.Our location provides easy access to San Juan Island's lighthouses, whale-watching opportunities, and outdoor activities while maintaining a tranquil retreat atmosphere. We actively engage in community partnerships with local wedding planners, caterers, and event vendors to create memorable experiences. Our commitment to guest comfort extends to accessibility features and accommodations for special needs with advance notice. Through continuous property improvements and a focus on guest feedback, we strive to make every visit exceptional.
