The inn is the "unofficially official" lodge of Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, so it's surrounded by sweeping scenery and serenity.
It all started in 1907, when Chris Fisher and his son, Edward, built it using logs and stones found in the area.

Since that time it has served as a private residence, a boarding school, a girls' school, and a general store. And while the property has been fully renovated, it still bears pieces of its past.
It's always fun to explore Whidbey Island, but you can enjoy a beautiful weekend here without ever leaving the property.
