Perfect property for our stay on the island! We had 3 families there for a wedding. 7 adults and 5 children. Great space for us all to sleep and enjoy. The backyard was especially wonderful for the kids and the croquet set was fun for them to learn a new game. Located close to the shopping and ferry dock, yet no close neighbors. Easy check-in and check/out. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Friday Harbor!

Walking distance to lots of stuff.

6.0 / 10.0

The proximity to the town and ferry was a plus. Neighborhood was quiet and safe to walk around. There were plenty of comfy beds but the layout wasn’t great for multiple families or large group. The house was dirty and didn’t have very much toilet paper to accommodate a large group. Would have loved the outdoor space but it was overgrown and unusable. Not ideal for a large group of 13. Better for a smaller group as there is only dining space for 9 -10 comfortably. Overall the place was fine and we made it work for our trip. The host communicated well and made the check in check out process super easy!

The location is great but the lack of cleanliness was noticable. For the price I was expecting more. Wood floor dusty, socks were fifthly after an evening of cards the first night. Two used towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Found a large metal water bottle on back porch. Glass table top in nook wasn't washed (lots of cup rings) Wooden Stair case needed washing, duck tape holding window together in Living room was an eye sore, the area around door knobs weren't clean, couple of coffee mugs found dirty in cabinet, towels upstairs smelt musty, (we appreciate when owners provide them, but not if I have to wash them first) toaster released crumbs constantly. The bedroom off kitchen has no air ventalation it got so stuffy and hot. It was nice to have puzzles but they were all miixed up together and when we finally separated them and put them together they all had missing pieces. The closet.provided in one room was from the 30's and left your clothes smelling old. We ended up hanging them from a shelf in the room. The ceiling fan light in the bathroom was so dirty. Cobwebs are always a sign that the cleaning crew is sleeping while working. Beds were comfortable except the one in the kitchenette room. The backyard had knee high weeds. So we just stayed on the porch. One bulb working in main bathroom but if you want to be in walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor then this is a great place.

Good “old” property which made it fun and unique. Beds could use an upgrade. Cleaning service was lacking, cobwebs, some dishes in cupboard were dirty, bathroom mirrors full of toothpaste

We traveled to Friday Harbor with our Son, daughter-in-law and our dogs. The house could have accommodated many more that 4 people and their dogs. It was clean and comfortable and very accessible to town. Wish we could have stayed longer . . . next time for sure!!

10.0 / 10.0

We have stayed at the Loring House several times now and always appreciate that it is easy walking distance to town, the ferry, and the fairgrounds. And it sleeps 14, which is great for big families like ours to share with friends and relatives! It is a low-frills sort of place, but that is just fine. It is a charming older Craftsman home, with wood floors and cozy nooks. For big groups you will get to know each other with 4 or more to the room, but the rooms are still roomy enough. There is a spare kitchenette upstairs but we have never used it. There is room to lounge about and to get to know each other around the kitchen table, various nooks, and the nice yard. The charcoal BBQ works well. There is no dishwasher but bonds are made over things like sudsy hands. The water is hot and 3 bathrooms means rarely a wait, even for large groups. The internet is good if you can't pry the phones out of the hands of the younger crowd. The DVD player wasn't working for us - but who uses DVDs anymore anyway? For bigger groups be aware that dishes and silverware will get tight, and there isn't a table big enough to comfortably seat more than about 8 at one time (but that didn't stop any fun). There were plenty of pots and pans that we needed, and a coffee maker and microwave. We will definitely be back again next time we take a trip to the islands. Thanks!

Great location to town! Beds were comfortable and we easily slept 7. (Beds a bit snug to sleep a couple) Kitchen space was good but but dated. We used it for simple meals, nothing elaborate. Living room area was comfortable. Wish there was a front screen door to take advantage of good weather days. Bedroom’s could use better window coverings so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in or go to bed early.

House was accurately described and great for our group, with plenty of space. Walkable to town and right around the corner from San Juan Brewery. Cute little outdoor area

10.0 / 10.0

Although by no means 'fancy' digs, the house and its furnishings were perfectly comfortable and ideal for our group of six. It was a 5-8 min walk to the center of town, so convenient to all activities. We didn't do any cooking so can't speak to the adequacy of the kitchen furnishings, but you do need to provide your own coffee. Simple, reasonably priced accommodations in a beautiful location.

This property was in a great location for what we were there for. It was good for our use and had plenty of room for our family. I would say that the furniture & mattresses could be upgraded at some point to make an even better experience. couches very worn and uncomfortable, mattresses are worn. everything else was fine.

6.0 / 10.0

The house was clean and the location is excellent — within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal, shops and restaurants. Some things about the property were sub-par, however. The towels were thin, poor quality. The bathroom sink off the main floor bathroom has rust stains and non-mixing faucets. The shower control in that bathroom was hard to adjust. The lawn furniture is old and worn, not appealing to sit on. The chairs at the dining table are too low. We felt the amenities did not match the price paid per night. We made the best of the situation and had a good time anyway.

Easy to walk to town. The house is old but kept up fairly well except for the front porch and yard. Furnishings were ok but definitely not enough seating if the house is full except for a bunch of mixed types of dining chairs. We enjoyed our stay and it suited our group well for what we needed.

Overall, a great place for a large group. The location was perfect and walkable to everything in town.

older house with great charm and character. Andrea was a great host and easy to communicate with. Location is about 3 blocks from downtown Friday Harbor and all activities (San Juan brewery is about 1-1/2 blocks away), the house was perfect to host our family for a wedding at Roche Harbor
