This was such a wonderful old house to stay in. We were there to put on my mother’s memorial and it was a perfect place to come and have some peaceful moments. It was also 2 blocks from town which made it very easy to get around. Also my dogs were happy to come with us on this trip and this house made that easy. Thanks!

The location of this house could not be better. It is a short walk to the ferry and shops and restaurants. The beds and pillows are clean and comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. There was enough space for our group of 8 women. The house did not feel very clean and it is need of some updates and repairs.

Location is great. Walking distance to town and brewery. Large bedrooms and plenty of beds for our group but mattresses could be updated as they were a bit squeaky. The couches also could use new cushions and were not comfortable. The sink in one of the downstairs bathrooms needs to be either be replaced or reglazed and kitchen drawers need fixing as they were a struggle to open and closeThe owner was quick to respond to any questions and overall was good stay

Perfect property for our stay on the island! We had 3 families there for a wedding. 7 adults and 5 children. Great space for us all to sleep and enjoy. The backyard was especially wonderful for the kids and the croquet set was fun for them to learn a new game. Located close to the shopping and ferry dock, yet no close neighbors. Easy check-in and check/out. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Friday Harbor!

Perfect little getaway

The proximity to the town and ferry was a plus. Neighborhood was quiet and safe to walk around. There were plenty of comfy beds but the layout wasn’t great for multiple families or large group. The house was dirty and didn’t have very much toilet paper to accommodate a large group. Would have loved the outdoor space but it was overgrown and unusable. Not ideal for a large group of 13. Better for a smaller group as there is only dining space for 9 -10 comfortably. Overall the place was fine and we made it work for our trip. The host communicated well and made the check in check out process super easy!

Love it...but

The location is great but the lack of cleanliness was noticable. For the price I was expecting more. Wood floor dusty, socks were fifthly after an evening of cards the first night. Two used towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Found a large metal water bottle on back porch. Glass table top in nook wasn't washed (lots of cup rings) Wooden Stair case needed washing, duck tape holding window together in Living room was an eye sore, the area around door knobs weren't clean, couple of coffee mugs found dirty in cabinet, towels upstairs smelt musty, (we appreciate when owners provide them, but not if I have to wash them first) toaster released crumbs constantly. The bedroom off kitchen has no air ventalation it got so stuffy and hot. It was nice to have puzzles but they were all miixed up together and when we finally separated them and put them together they all had missing pieces. The closet.provided in one room was from the 30's and left your clothes smelling old. We ended up hanging them from a shelf in the room. The ceiling fan light in the bathroom was so dirty. Cobwebs are always a sign that the cleaning crew is sleeping while working. Beds were comfortable except the one in the kitchenette room. The backyard had knee high weeds. So we just stayed on the porch. One bulb working in main bathroom but if you want to be in walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor then this is a great place.
Nope not going out there
Hand rail was gross
Stairs where so dusty
Yuck

We traveled to Friday Harbor with our Son, daughter-in-law and our dogs. The house could have accommodated many more that 4 people and their dogs. It was clean and comfortable and very accessible to town. Wish we could have stayed longer . . . next time for sure!!
