The Five Seasuns Bed and Breakfast Inn
About Us
We both love meeting people and enjoy making them feel at ease and comfortable in our inn. We both like to cook and try new recipes. Bob actually used to make up to 30 pies a day when we owned a sandwich and pie shop in Boise, ID.
Now he takes it easy and just bakes cookies—over 47,000 at last count since we opened the B&B in 1996! Jan is a Master Gardener and loves to share ideas and information about her garden and yours. I call it a passion, Bob just says “she thinks she’s having fun and doesn’t know it is work”.
It is our goal to make sure that every guest can totally relax and find a peace within that sometimes gets lost in the hustle of today’s world. Pleasant Memories are our Specialty and we do everything we can to make sure every guests leaves with a fond memory of a special part of their trip to the Olympic Peninsula.
It may be a scenic, out of the way place that only the locals know about, a fantastic dinner at a local restaurant, a wonderful glass of local wine, a nap in the shade of the garden, an unforgettable breakfast and almost always one of Bob’s cookies, but we will make sure our guests have the opportunity to experience them all!
We hope you will join us here at Five SeaSuns B&B and rediscover the way life should be on a sunny afternoon when all is right with the world.
About the Historic Five SeaSuns Bed & Breakfast Inn
This historic home was built in 1926 by attorney, Thomas F. Trumbull, as a showcase in a new era of construction. The Dutch Colonial design provided for more open stairways and plentiful windows allowing natural lighting throughout the home. It was one of the first homes in Port Angeles to boast of having two full bathrooms in the upstairs.
The pergola on the south side of the home was a part of the original construction and provided the perfect spot for Mrs. Trumbull to entertain the society ladies of Port Angeles for afternoon tea. You can still enjoy a cup of tea and one of Bob’s cookies under the pergola today while enjoying the waterfall and fish ponds.
Mr. Trumbull came to the Olympic Peninsula to work with the timber and railroad industries in the expansion of the railroad to the west end of the peninsula to meet the demand for timber in the war effort. A part of that railroad bed still exists on the north side of Lake Crescent, know as the Spruce Trail.
He later became a circuit judge and we are told was always uncomfortable in owning the home, feeling that it was too ostentatious for his position in the community since the home was completed shortly before the Great Depression…
The home sold in the mid-40’s to the Smith family who owned the “Soda Pop Factory” and the ice plant. They continued to be a “place to be invited” in the community with large backyard barbeques for their closest 100 family and friends.
The home remained in their family until 1994, when Bob and Jan purchased it and lovingly restored it to once again be “the place to be” in Port Angeles. They opened their home as a B&B in 1996 and continue to share its elegance and charm with their guests.
