Make reservations by calling the Willows Inn at 360-758-2620 or 888-294-2620.

Walk our Roads and Beaches
A seven-mile loop provides stunning vistas of Puget Sound with Mount Baker standing sentry and reefnetters dotting the waters just offshore. The surrounding woods offer several trails, including the 1.6 mi. Baker Preserve Trail taking you to Lummi Island Ridge and offering wonderful views of the Sound and Islands. Just step outside our door and cross the road to stroll along the Inn’s (private) beach, and keep your eyes open for whales.

Guests are welcome to bring their own bikes, another great way to tour the Island.

Nettles Farm
Our farm is just 1/4 mi. from the Inn and chef Blaine Wetzel regularly collects the ingredients that will be used to prepare dishes served later that evening. Guests can stay at our working farm, or visit with a short walk or drive up the hill. Ask for directions at the Inn.
