10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The Suite was very clean and spacious. Having a second room with lovely woodwork, table and chairs, a microwave and mini fridge was a real plus. It comes complete with an electric fireplace and two comfortable easy chairs for reading. The suite is within walking distance of the whole downtown area, and yet is very quiet. Being in old house, we could hear the footsteps, but not the voices, of guests in the room above ours.

Everything was very clean & cozy. Perfect location for Friday Harbor - 5 min from ferry. Not far from other parts of the island you’ll definitely want to explore. Walking distance to town for food & shopping.

Very cute and cozy but spacious room within walking distance of just about everything. I will book again next time I'm on the island.

I was concerned for my privacy inside this property. There were no blinds on the Eastern facing windows. This allowed for other suite tenets to see into my room. I made sure to dress in the bathroom. However, this room was super cute and in a great location. You can definitely hear other suite occupants. Super clean, super charming.
