This was the perfect place for a family to stay. We were a group of 6 adults in town for a wedding, and there was plenty of space for us in both the common areas and the bedrooms. There were many books and games in the back office area, and the cooking supplies provided were higher quality than I'm used to seeing in a rental property. The bathrooms had wonderful lighting for getting ready. Everyone was really happy with the sleep they got in the super comfy beds, and the location was quiet. We even saw some deer in the yard! Would love to come back with bicycles (or rent scooters in town) and explore the island more.

Reviewer Comments:
Disappointed with our experience at this place. Technically you can put 8 people in this place; we had 6 people and it still felt very cramped. Anyone calling this "master craftsmanship" doesnt know the meaning; more like cabin craftsmanship. The stove is broken. There is another house essentially in the front yard and their garage is in your back yard, which makes the site feel small and intrusive. There is no view except trees and fence that attempts to screen you from the neighbor. Not like we could spend much time in the yard anyway, the septic system is failing and the place stunk like a sewer. The property manager sent several texts and emails but answered none. To be fair, the bedrooms were nice and the beds were very comfortable. The common spaces were cramped. The Turn Point Park is about a 10 minute walk, but its tiny; kind of a kayak launch but not much else. You can see lots of people enjoying their waterfront properties from there, which will give you something to think about while youre slapping bugs in the woods smelling the sewer. For what you get, the price is absurd. I would not recommend this place to a friend.

Comfortable for our group of seven adults. Beds and bedding were amazing. Back deck space was awesome and the hammock was a nice perk. Easy walk to the beach. Overall great location for island outings and access to Friday Harbor.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. The location is quiet and serene (including several deer sightings) yet just a quick drive from the charming town of Friday Harbor. The amenities were great and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. We would definitely stay here again.

We landed here for Thanksgiving. It's a charming house not too far from town - but far enough you'll want a car in Fall/Winter. Room for playing games, enjoying an outdoor fire and viewing the wildlife.

This property was a lovely delight to our family. While a close distance to downtown Friday Harbor, this beautiful home is located in a private, wooded location. It was exactly as described and very clean and well maintained. The property management company clearly communicated all details needed for checking in and out. We would highly recommend this well stocked, beautifully decorated and very comfortable home. We look forward to returning to this home on our next trip to San Juan Island.

We loved staying at this house in the woods. Short drive to town and short walk to a little beach. We enjoyed hanging out in the comfortable living room and making dinner here. Spacious 3 bedrooms worked perfectly for our family. We loved all the whimsical features and play house out back (even though our infant couldn’t quite enjoy it just yet!) thanks for the beautiful stay near Friday Harbor!

This property was everything we hoped it would be. Lovely setting, clean, spacious, comfortable and relaxing porch and patio. It did not disappoint. If you go, look for the hidden wooden hearts located around the property.

The house itself was wonderful — Fantastic location, the house is gorgeous and well stocked. The play house was a huge hit for my 2 year old, the back deck was wonderful for meals. We had a great time with our extended family, from 80 year olds to a toddler the house worked great. However, I swear the cleaning fees were not that high when I originally booked. Booking with a management company does not get you the same level of personal service you get from other VRBO-type experiences.

Nice bright clean place. However no view of water. Relaxing cabin in woods. Would have liked coffee filters and body soap available in house. Master bedroom duvet had stain but otherwise house was very clean.

Perfect wooded retreat
Light and updated, cozy and best natural AC. All linens and pillows and blankies were comfy. Well stocked kitchen with dishes n spices. Bring your own shampoo/ all in one body wash. Hairdryer is on site - just check both bathrooms. Streaming movie in evening worked well. Back porch door locks if it closes, so use the rubber dragon head as a door stop :-). House does not have house number on it- it’s the one with the awesome porchswing, and first home in the driveway. Close to town, close to beautiful beaches and parks.

Friday Harbor wedding
We had a great time staying at this property. We were in town for a wedding and the location was great. The beach advertised was not really much of a sandy, lay down beach- and shrunk with the tide- BUT it was a gorgeous place to sit on the rocks and enjoy the view. The house is a short drive to downtown and the ferry. We rented mopeds at Susie’s moped rentals in downtown Friday harbor and did a scooter tour of the island to see the lavender farm, alpaca farm, San Juan vineyards, and a lot of gorgeous outlooks!
The house was well stocked with linens and iron, the beds were really comfortable. There were no shower toiletries so you’ll need to have your own shampoo and body wash.
The neighbors were a lot closer than I thought, but we never saw them.
Overall it was a good stay!
