    Absolutely loved this property! It's the perfect spot to stay where you're not in the busy town but close enough to drive to. You're in the quiet little bay surrounded by the trees, water and tons of birds singing. We booked the one bedroom suite, the check in and out process was really simple. All the staff we encountered during our stay were pleasant and helpful. The grounds are gorgeous, they keep everything literally perfect. They offer paddle boards and kayaks for the guests that we ended up using. There's a little coffee and guest shop on the property as well. They have fire pits you can use right by the water with the best views. Overall, we're so happy we found this hidden gem!

    This is a great quaint and quiet place to stay. It is located right in the center of San Juan Island so you can easily access anywhere you wish to go while visiting. Awesome staff who were very willing to accommodate us when we were getting in pretty late at night. They have a nice little shop, and coffee shop that will just about meet most of your needs. If you are not a go out to dinner and lunches type of person, every unit has a small kitchen in it and a grill outside. Beautiful morning sunrises easily seen, and lots of wildlife and waterfowl all around. This was exactly the quiet restful place we were looking for on our getaway. We will definitely book here again.

    Kitchen was immaculate.

    Bargain Alert! When I score a home run--I want to tell everyone! Hubby and I booked this for an overnight to surprise my sister from Pasadena. Our two bedroom cabin had a beautiful view of the harbor, and was perfect in every way! Furnishing were upscale, the place was spotless and everything was in great condition--like a new resort! The grounds were immaculate and the office features a cafe and fully stocked small market with gift shop, as well as a lovely meeting space and adjoining kitchen for groups. They have BBQs for you to use, crab pots to cook your crab and fire pits and tables for casual gatherings outside. Perfect for families and gatherings of friends. The price was terrific and this is a place we'll definitely book again; the only question is how soon.

    My wife and daughter and I were cozy in the snowstorm here in our 2-bedroom cabin, despite the beds being a little too firm. The views were magnificent, we had everything we needed for cooking, and the beds were fine. I appreciated the high quality, old school iPod dock/CD player, and the fact that the proprietors are taking COVID seriously.

    This cabin resort was the perfect Covid-safe getaway! The whole resort is so quiet and peaceful. Every room in the cabin (2BRs and living room) had views of the water, the kitchen was stocked with all the cookware we needed, and the beds were cozy! Extra points for the super friendly greeting when we checked in, the cute coffee shop on-site, and the fire pits by the water stocked with firewood. We'll definitely be back!

    This resort is a great getaway for couples, families, or a small group of friends given that every respect social distancing and covid precautions while on the resort. They offer many amenities from kayak, canoe, paddle boards, bikes, crab cages, fire pits, board games, various outdoor seating, and a gym. My friends and I definitely enjoyed our time there catching and cooking some crab in their fully stocked kitchens within our cabin. The staff was friendly and courteous. Everything was clean and we felt safe staying there with covid precautions.

    We have been going to Snug Harbor every year with several families for 4+ years and we have always looked forward to coming. Apparently, there is new management. The Pros - brand new dock (not as many slips), easy to keep boat in marina to fish during the day. Amazing views, five kayaks, two canoes & five paddle boards for guest use. Crab pots (two) to use, but you can only keep it in the bay and only for two hours. Two big pots outdoors to cook the crab in. Coffee shop but depending on who the barista is, depends on how your drink comes out. Not consistent. Full kitchen to use so it makes it easy to make your meals. Fairly well-stocked cabin, although some cabins were missing some things that other cabins had. The cons - bring wasp spray and wasp traps because the place was infested with wasps. We have never had this problem on our previous trips. Out of our party of 14 in several cabins, 6 were stung, some more than once. Each time we mentioned it to management, each time to get ice, they would say "tell those wasps to leave you alone", "it seems to be the complaint today". Thankfully, none are our party has anaphylaxis to bee and wasp stings. Noticed other parties with people getting stung as well. After the first day, we bought a wasp trap and spray. It helped some, but forget eating outdoors until it cools off and they aren't active. Even on the boat at the dock they were swarming us. Another issue - whale watching boats and kayak tours that leave from Snug Harbor gather and take up chairs and sit and use the fire pits, walk down the sidewalk right next to the cabins and look in at us like we're on display. The housekeepers would come at 7:30 am when some of us were still sleeping. The would come back later asking if we needed anything, yet when we told her, she said She didn't speak English. Although, if we showed her what we needed, she went and got it. Housekeeping was very pleasant. The lobby/gift shop is normally open until 8 pm, and it still states those hours on the door, however, they locked it up at 6:30pm. We still had a good time but didn't spend as much time outside as we normally do sitting by the bay. Next year we are talking about finding a large house to accommodate us. This has been a summer tradition but moving on to new adventures. REPLY TO OWNER: Thank you Eric for your response. I agree that the new marina is beautiful. Snug Harbor is a beautiful place. A place where I go to relax and spend time with family and friends. We enjoy playing cards outside, reading, relaxing, barbecuing and cooking crab in the big pots and eating together outside as a group. The whole purpose of the trip is to relax - OUTSIDE. We were not able to do that as we were constantly swatting, and waving the wasps away, or getting stung. We had dinner outside every evening and it was a constant battle keeping the wasps out of our drinks and off the food. I had to get creative, wrapping my cup in Saran Wrap and cutting a tiny hole for a straw. I get that there are wasps. We have NEVER had an issue like this in all of the years we have come. We even started fires early and put wet wood on it to help smoke them away. You need to think about pest control. They are a nuisance. And yes, someone who has a known allergy to wasps most likely carries an Epi-pen. There may be a guest who hasn't been stung before and has a reaction. I doubt you have Epi-pens in your office. It was out of control. When the people in our party went to the office after getting stung, not once did they mention Benadryl in the gift shop. They were kind enough to give us ice. You commented on how many times you and your wife were stung. If that doesn't tell you that there is a problem, then I can't help you. Besides, you aren't the one paying for a vacation. It's your business, own up to it and fix the issue, then perhaps we would think about coming back.

The room was large with a balcony looking out to the lake, mini fridge and a wet bar area. The view on the balcony was lovely but the walls that separate your balcony to your neighbors do not go all the way down. Because we stayed at the lodge, our stay came with breakfast. It was a continental style breakfast with freshly made omelet and potatoes. It was pretty good but the wait can be long. I recommend getting in as soon as they open. The stars from the breakfast were the pancakes and their in-house made granola. They had a pancake maker which made perfect little pancakes. And their granola! So delicious. Full of nuts and fruit pieces. They won't tell you the recipe but you can buy per pound to take home. Around the resort, there were lawn games you could play. Bikes, canoes, and pedal boats to borrow. There was a children's activity area and a general store which were closed when we went.

Spot was pretty right next to the lake. Although we ended up with a good spot we did not get to choose. It would be nice to be able to view open sites and pick which one you'd like. They had bathrooms and showers a short walk from the site so that was convenient. They are a little spendy though in my opinion. $60 for a camp site is a little steep. I'm used to paying $25ish for a spot in National parks, etc. I get it they have bikes and games included to use during your day so you do have more amenities. Overall a fun stay.

The location is great - close to everything in Friday Harbor but not on a street with as much traffic as some others. The customer service is great - just send them a text and you get a response in seconds. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room interior was good - everything looked clean with plenty of toiletries, cozy robes, and a heated bathroom floor. The bathroom in general was dated. We had a non operational jetted tub that had been converted into a duel faucet rain shower. It was rather weird, but it worked. I also really liked the keyless entry, so no worries about losing your key! Now, my one negative. Our room, and I'm assuming all rooms on this side of the building, abut a loading dock and parking lot for an adjacent grocery store. Every morning at 5am, a semi truck, fork lift, and workers unload the truck. In addition to back up safety alarms, truck engines idling, and workers talking, you also hear the constant rumbling of goods being unloaded. This goes on for HOURS.....starting at 5am. The hotel gives you ear plugs and notes that there is no noise ordinance on the island and notes that neighbors can be noisy and the hotel can't do anything about that. I get it...you can't control noisy patrons or neighbors, but the description given doesn't really convey what is actually going on with this side of the building. Constant, very loud noise and alarms for over two hours starting at 5am. All that said, I would stay here again, but I would make sure any room I book has views of the harbor, and not the back side of the hotel.

It has steps, indoors and out (I found the outdoor steps easier on my bad hip) and it's just a lovely place - nicely decorated and SO clean. Our room was Fidalgo, we had a big soaker tub and kitchen area, I loved having two places to watch tv since sometimes one of you can sleep and the other is enjoying vacation insomnia time. ;) Out back, a walk through a parking lot takes you to King's Market which had everything. We did not find the hotel loud, but they offer earplugs just in case. The mattress was great, seriously- firn enough but with a soft topper or something, we both slept so well.

Also, not gonna lie -- accommodations are upscale Best Western level, which again, I have no problem with, but just so ya know, that's 300 greenbacks in high season. Hey, it's an island, I get it, there's not many options; Just throwing it out there.
