Outlook Inn

Set on Orcas Island, often called the gem of the San Juan Islands. Outlook Inn embodies the serene, nature-forward escape Sunset readers seek. Just off the ferry, the pace softens as forested landscapes and coastal views take over, setting the tone for a true island retreat.

Overlooking Fishing Bay in the heart of Eastsound, the 32-room boutique property pairs understated luxury with an effortless connection to its surroundings. Guests can choose from waterfront accommodations or spacious studios, all designed for comfort and calm.

Dining at the on-site New Leaf Café reflects the region’s celebrated tide-to-table ethos, with Northwest-inspired menus highlighting local farms, fisheries, and seasonal ingredients.

Step outside and Eastsound unfolds, independent shops, galleries, and trailheads all within reach, making Outlook Inn a seamless blend of walkable charm, culinary credibility, and Pacific Northwest tranquility.
