For nearly a century, this restored farmhouse has provided unparalleled grace and charm from its vantage point on MacKaye Harbor at the southern end of Lopez Island in the Pacific Northwest.
Our beach front view
Surrounded by the beauty of the San Juan Islands, the MacKaye Harbor Inn is the perfect year-round place for your getaway if you long for tranquility; romance, and a touch of nostalgia, as well as comfort, wonderful meals, and personal service.
MacKaye Harbor Inn has been recommended by Northwest Best Places as "the best of Cape Cod without the crowds," a "step back in time."
We have also received "High Recommendation" from Pacific Northwest Magazine, Sunset Magazine and the Los Angeles Times.
Please join us in this exquisite setting. We want to make your escape to the island very special.
Mike and Robin
MacKaye Harbor Inn was originally built in 1904. In 1927, while the Tralnes couple (the owners) were visiting relatives in Norway, their teenage children dramatically rebuilt the old farmhouse on the bay. It was the first island home to have electric lights.
Hospitality has always pervaded in the home. Its sandy beach was the site of many island picnics, and Mrs. Tralnes kept Norwegian cookies in the entry to welcome those passing by.
The Inn now offers five beautiful guest rooms. Each has furnishings reminiscent of the past, in the same MacKaye Harbor Inn tradition.
The Harbor Suite...
...Full harbor and sunset views with fireplace and a private covered deck through French doors. It is furnished with a beautiful antique Italian bedroom set of golden oak and marble with a queen-sized bed. Private bath.
...Full waterfront views from adirondacks on private covered deck or through large leaded-glass windows. A queen-size bed and maritime motif make this room fit for any captain. Main floor off parlor affords easy access. Private bath.
