We offer standard rooms with queen size beds and kitchenettes with full size beds. All our rooms are equipped with cable TV, Microwave, refrigerator and free wireless internet. The kitchenettes are fully equipped, including full size refrigerators and coffee makers. We offer one kitchenette room that is pet friendly and if it is available, your pet is welcome! We regret that pets are not allowed in the other rooms. All rooms are strictly non-smoking.

Ice is available in the walk-thru area, which also has a bulletin board to keep you up to date with happenings in the area: Washburn is the gateway to the Apostle Islands and great fun in the sun (and in the snow in winter)!

Need to clean fish? We have a fish cleaning station at the back of the motel.

We are down-town Washburn, close to banks, restaurants and stores. All are within walking distance.

Check our Things to Do page for latest information on weather, fishing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. We also provide links to events in the area and other relevant sites.

Domenico is from Italy. Yvonne is from Taiwan.

When Domenico was a dining room captain on the cruise ship that inspired the TV series, "The Love Boat", he met Yvonne, who was on board for a seven-day cruise. It was the start of a relationship that led to being married.

After serving on the ship for 20 years, Domenico felt it was time to settle down and he teamed up to run the motel in Santa Barbara, California, that Yvonne had owned for nearly two decades. After they sold the motel, they moved to Newport Beach.

Even though we were in southern California, we had tired of air pollution and crowds and were looking for a more unspoiled area, rich with natural beauty. Since Domenico’s home port in Italy had been an apartment on the ocean and since our motel in California was close to the ocean, we wanted to be near water.

After a two year search we settled on Washburn and decide to purchase the North Coast Inn and Chalets which was up for sale at the time. We bring to the inn years of experience in both inn keeping and hospitality, and as on-site owners, look forward to welcoming you, and are available to provide you with the personal attention you expect at a country inn.

Your Innkeepers: Yvonne Liu and Domenico Magarelli
We look forward to welcoming you - with a smile!
