Bedrooms were nice. Front room was a little quirky and tight. Banquet was not that comfortable. TV was size off a computer monitor! Kitchenet was lacking a toaster/toaster oven and counter space. Location was great, close to downtown Friday Harbor. I would still come back to this location.
5.0
Rooms are nice and comfortable. One room needed black out curtains to block out the light. The kitchenette is really not for preparing any food, too tiny. Location is great, easy to walk to town.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, based on both the house and its excellent location and walking access to so much of Friday Harbor. The space has historic interest, and is also well-organized, clean and with all the amenities. We would definitely stay again.

Honestly great location, but furniture was stylish but no comfortable, I distinctly remember signing up to pay less than I did for this site, and honestly I would not stay here again for the cost. I will look into staying at a local hotel for about $20-50 a night less.

The location could not have been better. The property manager made sure we had information before we knew we needed it. Really hope to go back someday.

Great location, very short walk to the harbor and restaurants. We enjoyed the 2 nice sized bedrooms, sitting room, little kitchenette w coffee pot and microwave and bathroom with all the needed amenities. No noise from other guests in other suites, completely seamless online check-in and check out were also a bonus! Would definitely stay here again! Plenty of parking for our rental car which we definitely would recommend to drive to all the gorgeous parks and beaches on the island.

If you just need a place to sleep in a downtown location this is your place. Location is great and walkable to harbor and town. But a big disappointment in the kitchen having only a microwave & mini fridge, not even a toaster or containers to facilitate microwave cooking. For 4 people there’s no gathering area to relax or watch tv together, nor do the bedrooms have any tvs. The bathroom door doesn’t lock or even latch solidly, so uncomfortable wondering if my in-laws might walk in on me. We were excited to stay in a historic home, but the furnishings and decor didn’t make sense, completely missing an opportunity for a period home.

Home was walking distance to town, guest parking was safe and easy, decor was historic and delightful, clean and comfortable accommodations. Great stay!

We loved this house! Great communication with the owner. So nice to have super easy directions to get to the house. We thought it was even better than the pictures! So nice and quiet at night. Beautiful front porch to start the day on. Walking to town was a breeze. COMFORTABLE beds. Everything we needed to feel at home.
5.0
Cozy house in a good location: near the ferry, parks, shops. Instructions was detailed and understandable. Two details can improve the experience, for example: 1) make it so that the bathroom door can be closed; 2) add a small electric stove, some salt and sugar to the kitchen.

This was such a cute little place to stay while in Friday harbor. Right in town so you could walk everywhere.

Blocks from the ferry, close to restaurants and coffee shops. The room was a bit too cold even with heaters but it did have enough blankets to keep us warm. Internet was a bit slow but it’s possible it was due to the high winds (early March).

All of the best spots in town are within walking distance! The house itself is beautiful with lots of classic details you can only find in historic properties: dark wood, gorgeous molding, stained glass accents, tiled shower, copper lined sink, high ceilings, relaxing & spacious front porch. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here if we visit Friday Harbor again (which we'd love to!). Thank you!

This property is in walking distance to all shops, restaurants and harbor. The rooms were cozy, clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
My only recommendation is comfy chairs on the porch for reading and enjoying your wine or morning coffee.

The location of this house was fabulous, loved walking into downtown Friday Harbor. Beds were. Wry comfortable. The window situation bothered me a bit. Only a few windows actually opened, and the ones that did would not stay, had to prop them open with something.

The Acanthus Farmer suite is well set up with two bedrooms, a small kitchenette, and general room. The weather was warm while we were there, so we appreciated the fans in the unit. We did have some issues keeping the windows open for the fans to pull air, but managed to work around it. The beds were quite comfortable. The Acanthus Suites are in an excellent location. We were able to walk to all the restaurants and sights in Friday Harbor easily. The car was only used when we left Friday Harbor. The big front porch on the Acanthus Suites, was a big hit in the mornings and evenings.

This place is adorable! The beds are really cozy, and I absolutely love all the windows. The bathroom is large, and the kitchenette is perfect for a weekend. There is a little dining room with a few chairs. My only suggestion is to have a small love seat in the dining room for hanging out on cold evenings. We loved sitting in the yard and on the porch when it was warm enough though!

Overall, Farmer's Suite is a great two bedroom rental. It is clean, has super comfortable beds, is very convenient to downtown Friday Harbor, and management is available and quickly responsive to requests.
The bedroom in the rear of the house is much more pleasant than the front bedroom, which did not have a dresser or even a hanging bar in the closet. It did have a low two shelf (shoe rack?) which I used to stack my clothes and personal items on however a tall dresser could easily fit in the same space and provide much more. It also is quite bright in the room at night.
The kitchenette has a small (but perfectly adequate) refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and other basic supplies. The toaster, although crumb free, does however set the smoke alarm off. We moved it over to the area next to the sink further away from the smoke which didn't completely resolve the issue but definitely helped.
Regardless of the things I found to be negative, I would not hesitate to book another stay in Acanthus Suites in the future.

3 of us stayed for 3 days and it was very enjoyable. The beds were super comfortable and the location wa great. Everything was as described in the listing.
My only question would be why the small gathering room is not set up better to accommodate guests more comfortably. A small couch and a chair with the TV on the other side would have been much better in the evenings.
But all in all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
