Coffee, hot chocolate, and tea were a bit stale and old. No AC these days in the summer is unbearable. At least install mini-splits in the rooms. Insect control was not good either. For the price I'd rather stay at a more modern/luxury-oriented place

We were met at the main house at the entrance by the staff who told us we need to see Sarah to show…read moreus our accommodations of the house next to us. She was very gracious and showed us around plus, she showed us little special items that she had for us on arrival which included cookies for my wife and I a nondairy cupcake for my daughter and two pet friendly cupcakes for our puppy. How cool is that? They put a lot of thought into the design of this place and it is truly a wonderful bed-and-breakfast situation. All the little details have been thawed out from the entryway right to the bathroom. We are in Friday Harbor Friday. Harbor has a reputation and it is not inexpensive to be in this area so don't be surprised by price stickers if you shop around. You get what you pay for here they give you a lot of class along with a good product. I would like to stay longer if I could, but our time is limited and we have to go home and the weather has been perfect.

We cannot recommend the Discovery Inn in Friday Harbor of San Juan Island strongly enough. What a…read morebeautiful retreat they've created just blocks away from the downtown. We never used the jacuzzi but playing table tennis and cornhole and even badminton (although we had to use the volleyball court for badminton). The rooms were tastefully decorated and well stocked with vital supplies. The best part of staying at Discovery Inn, however, has to be the people working there. We were so impressed with Mel just talking with her and making our reservation. And what a delight to discover that she was even more gracious and kind and knowledgeable about the island and where to go in person. And everyone we met at the Inn was just as nice and accommodating. We can't imagine finding a better spot to stay when vacationing on San Juan Island.

Stool to sit on while putting on shoes. Extra ottomans that luggage can be placed on. Minuses: Would have preferred medium roast coffee (not just french roast), more outlets for chargers, a hand wand for the shower, and an elevator. (Mobility challenged should get a ground floor room.)

My friends and I were visiting Friday Harbor recently, and they booked a suite for us at the Tucker…read moreHouse Inn & Harrison House Suites, part of the San Juan Island Inn Collection. We were given the San Juan Suite. What WONDERFUL accommodations! The suite has two full bedrooms and a small room with a double bed on the renovated side porch (I chose that room, because of all the windows), two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, dining room, and deck with a private jacuzzi! WOW!! I felt so pampered! Every morning, Gene brought breakfast to us in bento boxes, and everything was so yummy! My favorite was the poached egg and Canadian bacon with tomato and baby asparagus on thick toast, accompanied by granola and peaches with yogurt. We had ordered milk and orange juice for breakfast, and when we arrived found that the refrigerator was stocked with a fresh quart of each for us. There was also ground coffee for the coffeemaker and a fine selection of teas. We dined well! The furnishings in the suite are elegant and retro without being dated, while the kitchen and bathrooms are completely modern. Even with four people, we felt that there was ample space for us all. Our beds were all quite comfortable, and the temperature controls could be adjusted room by room so that each of us were guaranteed a pleasant sleep. The grounds around our lodging were gorgeously landscaped and beautifully maintained. It was wonderful to wake up in the midst of loveliness every morning! The Inn & Suites are just a few blocks from downtown Friday Harbor and the ferry landing, so we were able to easily walk to all the local attractions, shopping, and restaurants. That was a hidden benefit because parking downtown was often scarce. To say our stay in the San Juan Suite was idyllic would be an understatement. It made a wonderful vacation even more wonderful by giving us a place to return to and relax in comfort and elegance. I am DEFINITELY returning to the Tucker House Inn & Harrison House Suites! Thank you for a truly fabulous time!

We stayed in the Lopez Suite at Harrison House in early October. What a lovely place! This suite…read morehas a view of the bay, with the ferries coming and going, and other windows that look out into the tree tops. There's a full kitchen, very well equipped, and a comfortable living room. It's all very cozy and home-like in a historic house. We could walk downtown within minutes. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. We hope to return soon!

Reserved a room for a special trip this Spring. Some time later they decide to have a "policy" of a…read morethree night minimum (even though it's not mentioned literally anywhere). They emailed to cancel our reservation. If the 3-night minimum had been a condition listed in the booking, we would understand. But it wasn't. When we told them it's not written anywhere and they had already accepted our booking, they changed their strategy and said they now (suddenly) can't rent the room we want due to CoVid. (Even though it's still posted as available). They blame the county health dept. we were unable to find any information about this restriction and still can't find a place (other than their email after we booked) that lists a three night minimum. Although they were cordial about it, I can't recommend doing business with them, since they change their policies at random. Hard to plan a trip when it seems like they will cancel your reservation to chase a bigger check.

My husband surprised me by booking two nights at the Wharfside B&B in Friday Harbor. I was not sure…read morewhat to expect and I was delightfully surprised by a wonderful experience! Laura owns and runs the B&B and she is so kind and an amazing cook! She cooked us two of the best, most delicious breakfasts I have ever eaten. Her berry stuffed pancakes with her grandmother's special cream syrup is absolutely delicious!! My husband and I highly recommend a couple of nights on the boat. It's an adventure and out if the ordinary. Laura is a great hostess and you will have a memory that will last a lifetime.

Our family of 3 stayed in the Studio Suite for 4 nights during the month of July…read more Pros: -Booking was easy online & the owner was easy to deal with. -The suite is advertised, clean with adequate kitchen supplies. I would have preferred a new bar of soap to a large bottle of body wash in the shower, but that may be personal preference. -Location, location, location. We walked everywhere in town except one day; there was a car rental place within walking distance & we were able to explore the rest of the island. There is no denying that the Courtyard Suites have a fantastic location! -The owner allowed us to store our luggage in the suite before check-in time as the Clipper arrived very early in the morning. She provided the same courtesy during the day we checked out. This was much appreciated. Cons: -I hardly slept well at all during our 4 night stay here. -There is a trash dumpster right outside the window by the bed. Three of the four mornings, a loud truck came & emptied the dumpster before 7 a.m. It's possible one of the trucks was a fuel truck as well, I was too tired to look out the window. There was no way to sleep through this racket. -We attempted to keep the windows open to allow a breeze at night since there is no AC. The suite has casement windows that swing out, with mini blinds for privacy. Whenever the breeze came through the windows, the blinds would bang against the window frames. Several nights my husband & I couldn't sleep from the blinds banging, & ended up having to be hot with no cross ventilation just to stop the noise. -By the time tax was added & $12/night for my son to sleep on the futon, it ended up being pricier than we expected at $255 per night. Overall I would recommend the Courtyard Suites, especially if you are a heavy sleeper!

I'm sure this place could have been awesome. Hence why I said "could have". The owner emailed me…read moreabout what dogs I have to bring with. I initially said that I have a Lab and a pit bull. I got a response that big dogs were not allowed especially the pit bull. Only small dogs are allowed considering smaller dogs are much more aggressive and annoying. The best part is that I have contacted the owner about getting my deposit back. 4 days later, no response. Go figure. I wonder how long I'll get a response. Save your money, chill at another place.

Quite possibly one of the cutest places I have stayed! The Ferry Landing Suites looks directly over…read morethe ferry terminal and as you sit on the deck, or hang out on the couch you can watch the ferry's come in and out of the dock. We stayed in the Yakima suite which is on the very top of this classically fun looking building. The suite was equipped with a kitchenette, wrap around deck with sun chairs, fireplace, and entertainment system. And if that wasn't enough, the bed was tucked away in a cove that has a skylight for looking at the stars. One of the best things about this suite is that directly below the room is a bakery and cafe that serves fresh pastries and coffee from early in the morning till the evening. All the perks of a bed and breakfast without having to check in and out with anyone. I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend getaway with your loved one, or rent out the site below as well for a big group of friends to enjoy all that Friday Harbor has to offer.

This is seriously my new favorite place on the San Juan's, and I've been up here a thousand times…read more Can't believe it took me this long to find Snug Harbor! This is a beautiful quaint little family run oasis on Mitchell Bay. There are hotel style rooms, and private cabins. We stayed in a private cabin on the waterfront for our anniversary this year. The cabins are stunning. Everything was super clean. You have a full kitchen and appliances should you want to cook, even equipped with a BBQ outside! There's a small living space, and the bathroom felt like a luxury spa! The shower had pebbled floorings which were so nice. The bedroom was cozy and comfortable and not to mention pitch black which was amazing for sleep! We slept with all windows open at night and slept great with the cool air and again I can't stress enough how quiet the property is. My favorite part is the windows at the front looking at the water and the little sitting nook by the kitchen. I sat there or in the chairs out front for most of our trip just admiring the water and stillness. So pretty! There's a little greenery area for sitting, play lawn games, or fire pits for smores. They also have kayaks and paddle boards for use during the day which was a nice amenity. They also have a general store and coffee shop on property with everything you might need. My favorite part is their water system that's fully treated and maintained by them. Because of it the shower water is so soft and serene, and the drinking water is amazing straight from the tap! This was a 10/10 stay from top to bottom, and we already can't wait to come back!

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at Snug Harbor Resort while visiting Friday Harbor…read more We reserved a one-bedroom waterfront cabin seamlessly online. Our total cost was $607.19. Check-in was done at the lobby. At the lobby one will also find a store and a coffee shop. Complimentary movies and games can also be checked out at the lobby to enjoy back at your lodging. The store offers a little bit of everything, from clothing to snacks. Complimentary ice machines are available. Bagged ice can be purchased though. Lower-level parking is limited and was completely full in the evenings. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot every time we returned from playing. Wheel barrel type carts located at the gate make transporting luggage effortless to rooms. Adirondack chairs are scattered about the edge of the property to enjoy sipping a beverage, reading or admiring the view. A fire-pit, community BBQ, picnic area and kids play area help pass the time while on-site. The paly area is at the lobby end for those who do not wish to have quarters near noise. The cabin we were given was number 10, a handicap unit. The very first cabin upon entrance and the furthest from the lobby and play area. Our cabin was clean and well equipped. Snug Harbor provided us the peace that we were seeking at the time. My one suggestion would be to offer fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby to establish a more personal touch.

Bed and pillows were comfy. Pack and play for toddler was way too hard so we had to stuff it with towels to make a softer surface for her to sleep. Cute fireplace. Nice balcony. I'd come back but bring an eye mask. Location can't be beat! Nice staff

Plenty of outdoor activities, boats, bikes, hikes, and plenty to do near by on the island. -Rooms were beautiful, bed was tall, bed was big, but bed made noise (iykyk) - Bathroom was clean, spacious, and was well lit. -Closet and amenities were on point. Robes, cups, steamer, lantern, and coffee. But no tv or mini fridge. They had plenty of golf carts to get you around the town.
