San Juan Island’s only B&B on a working ranch 


Welcome to the Ranch. For over 17 years visitors from all over the world have been coming to stay, enjoy and experience one of the oldest working ranches on San Juan Island.

Near Friday Harbor, Washington, the ranch is a 62 acre working ranch with San Juan Island Lodging in great rooms, scratch cooked breakfasts made with locally grown foods, walking trails, and friendly chickens, sheep, alpacas, and horses.

Accommodations at the Inn range from budget rooms to king size view rooms for that special getaway, and a spacious two family friendly bedroom suite and a fully-equipped cottage ideal for families or couples. Each room or suite has a private bath. States Inn and Ranch is the ideal lodging for your visit to San Juan Island in northern Puget Sound, only 90 miles north of Seattle. Fully accessible accommodations available.


In a peaceful valley a few miles from Friday Harbor our B&B is enjoyed by singles, couples, traveling companions and families from all over the world that come to enjoy the natural wonders of the San Juan Islands. The Bed and Breakfast is only 90 miles south of Vancouver, BC, Canada, and just a few miles by boat or ferry from Victoria, British Columbia.

Read Tripadvisor Reviews about States Inn
This San Juan Island Inn is actually a converted, turn-of-the century schoolhouse that saw use over the years as a dance hall, ranch hand’s house, and finally as a Country Inn. There are gathering places in the large dining room, the sun room, and a comfortable living room with a fireplace for winter nights.

Although we are a working ranch, you get to relax. Visit with our animals, find new birds on our trails through woods and wetlands, read a good book or just enjoy the views across the valley. States Inn & Ranch also features an excellent Natural Horsemanship Equestrian School and training facility. Unfortunately we not able to offer trail rides or rental horses.

Just a note: although we have WiFi and Internet access, we do not have Television or DVD/Video equipment in our Inn or rooms (only in the Cottage). Enjoy the views, the birds, the livestock and the quiet. It's rare these days!
