About the Owners

 

Proprietors, Doug and Roxy Kasman, spent 30 years in Spokane, Washington prior to making their dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast come true. Their children, Kyle and Emily, encouraged them to change up their lives and give “island time” a try. Doug worked as an architect doing primarily commercial projects like schools, recreational facilities, and higher education buildings.  Roxy, a CPA, was Controller at Gonzaga University and, prior to that, spent 10 years in Public Accounting. Kyle manages a banking branch in downtown Spokane. 

Emily is a Yoga instructor and Health Counselor throughout the Seattle area. All four have degrees from Gonzaga University and are avid fans of the Zags, Gonzaga’s basketball teams. Dylan and Joplin, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, round out the family.  Doug’s hobbies include running and gardening while Roxy loves to read and entertain. The Kasman’s look forward to meeting the wonderful Kirk House guests and helping them enjoy all that Friday Harbor and the San Juan Island have to offer.

 

About the Bed and Breakfast

 

The Kirk House is a craftsman-style home that was built in 1907 as a summer retreat by Seattle industrialist Peter Kirk. Located just minutes from the Friday Harbor ferry terminal, The Kirk House provides close access to one-of-a-kind shopping, wildlife watching excursions, kayaking adventures, and many restaurants located in the town of Friday Harbor.

 

You can also simply relax in our parlor in front of the fireplace. In warm weather you can read a book, enjoy a glass of wine or cup of tea, or even take a nap on our wrap around veranda.
