Secluded Romantic Getaways in Washington State For Winter
If you’re looking for secluded romantic getaways in winter, there’s no better choice than an island – or perhaps a chain of islands. The San Juan Islands are a sought-after destination in Washington state. Their pristine beauty and untouched wilderness are unmatched. Though many think of these islands largely as a warm-weather destination, we believe winter is the perfect time to seek out a bit of solitude and romance at our cozy Friday Harbor Bed and Breakfast.
The San Juan Islands are a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts, art lovers, wine and beer drinkers, foodies, and more. There’s certainly no shortage of things to do in the San Juan Islands, so it’s easy to see why it’s a great getaway destination. Adventure aside, though, the San Juans also happens to be one of the best places to enjoy secluded romantic getaways in Washington State.
Finding unique things to do is just a small part of the picture, though. To have a memorable getaway, you must start with exceptional accommodations. Our Friday Harbor Bed and Breakfast fits that bill perfectly. Here, guests have a range of accommodations, including cozy guest rooms, larger suites, and private vacation cottages.

Romantic Meals at the Best Friday Harbor Restaurants
One of the best parts about getting away for secluded romantic getaways in Washington State is the chance to try new restaurants. Luckily, there are plenty of fantastic Friday Harbor restaurants to choose from. None, however, are as well-regarded as Coho Restaurant. Coho is our signature restaurant with the same dedication to high-quality ingredient sourcing and farm-to-table style that you’ll enjoy for breakfast at our Bed and Breakfast.
Coho Restaurant is often regarded as one of the best Friday Harbor restaurants for romantic meals. It does a fantastic job of highlighting Washington State’s diverse agriculture industry by offering a seasonally driven menu highlighting the region’s freshest local ingredients. Pair your dinner with a wine from our award-winning cellar, which features small, handcrafted producers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Our professional staff offers personalized and careful service to create a complete experience—it’s more than just a meal!
If you happen to be staying at our Friday Harbor Bed and Breakfast or visiting on an evening when Coho Restaurant is closed, there’s a lovely selection of restaurants to choose from. Most of these selections are within walking distance of our Inn (or just a quick scenic drive). Below, you’ll find four more fantastic Friday Harbor restaurants.
- Downriggers: Located right on the port of Friday Harbor, you can gaze at the ferry from the windows (or seasonal patio) at this longtime staple. The menu focuses on Pacific Northwest cuisine with fresh seafood dishes, oysters, and creative scratch-made cocktails.
- San Juan Island Brewing: For a casual meal and a delicious pint of craft beer, the brewery is a short walk from our Friday Harbor Bed and Breakfast and features a casual pub-style menu.
- Friday Harbor House: Grab dinner from on high at this local eatery. This is one of the best Friday Harbor restaurants for a spectacular view of our charming downtown area and the surrounding islands.
- Vinny’s Ristorante: For fresh seafood, steak dinners, and Italian classics, head to this locally-owned Friday Harbor restaurant. They support island farms and goods, including Wescott Bay Shellfish, Mama Bird Farm, and Jones Family Farm.
