The house was an exciting and relaxing place to be. The Graduate thinks that he would like to open a practice on this island and the 8 year olds did not want to leave.Julie was wonderful with the kids allowing them to assist withh feeding the animals.Shawn was the perfect host for the wine tasting - it allowed all of us to experience an old but new wine with how it is processed - Functional Med Graduate greatly enjoyed this.

We LOVE staying at October Farm. It is one of the most peaceful places on earth! Everything about October Farm is lovely, calm, beautiful, and easy. Getting into the house is a breeze, communication is easy, and Joe is always helpful and flexible. I wish that we could stay for a month!

This was a very special vacation with my family. We ALL loved it. So different from living in a city, like we do. The house was well appointed with everything we might need and very comfortable. So relaxing. And we enjoyed seeing the day to day workings of the farm. It is out in the quiet farmlands of the island, but not too far from Friday Harbor. We will be back!

Our family of 8 .. three generations with ages ranging from 6 months to grandparents in their 70’s … enjoyed a peaceful, luxurious and exceptionally comfortable stay at October Farm. The house is wonderful - larger than the pictures indicate, with a wing of bedrooms/bathrooms on one side and a huge upstairs with the main suite and additional bedrooms perfect for kids. We had enough room for everyone to spread out! The grounds are divine, acres and acres of farmland as far as the eye can see in all directions .. we enjoyed the animal sanctuary, horses, goats and turkeys, and cows grazing, sitting on the wrap around deck enjoying the cool breezes and the tranquility of it all. Joe is a gracious host! We wanted for nothing and had a fabulous time!!

This is our third (or maybe fourth) time staying at the October Farm. We LOVE this place and the host. There is nowhere we would rather be on San Juan Island. Joe is the best and kindest host we have ever had. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!

10.0 / 10.0

October Farm is the nicest and most peaceful place our family has ever stayed. The process of check in, the farm itself, the surrounding area, and the peacefulness of the entire area was blissful. We will be staying there again and again in the future; it is our favorite place to be!

We had the best time at October Farms. The property is gorgeous and the house very spacious. We were on San Juan Island to celebrate our daughters wedding, and the farmhouse was a perfect place for our family to stay. The host was very easy to work with and very responsive. We will be back!

A group of eight friends gathered at the farmhouse. It was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for a crew that enjoys cooking together. We loved hiking around the lake, cool breezes across the fields, sweet, quiet nights. A wonderful get away!

This is a renovated farmhouse in a bucolic setting. Extremely quiet location set among pasture land with a small amount of livestock. Very easy to get to areas around the island. A few miles from Friday Harbor so getting into town was quick.. House is well furnished with upgraded appliances and living spaces. Large open spaces perfect for gatherings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our grandson about to turn 3 is obsessed with farms and this was his gift from us. It was over the top great in so many ways. The animals, the winery there (we are a winery too)., and a house that was easy to feel at home in, all wonderful. We would love to return.

Really enjoyed this relaxing vacation with the family. Kitchen was best stocked of any rental we have ever had! The remodeled house was just the right size for our family of 7 adults and 1 child. Location put us 10-20 min from everything on the island. My 5 year old was in love with all the animals on the property! The Animal Haven Sanctuary Tour was so fun and the staff was so knowledgeable and kind during our entire stay. We hope to be back to this wonderful peaceful farm again!

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed! It's not just that this is a beautiful farmhouse with total privacy, fantastic kitchen, comfy beds, multiple bathrooms, and endless kitchen supplies! It's also that this is a place of peacefulness that is beyond any of our expectations. Being able to be on such a huge property, surrounded by open space, apple trees, friendly cows, eagles, the animal sanctuary, and easy long walks was divine. Joe was a fantastic host who was even able to accommodate the possibility of an extra night if needed. There is a cider press operation on the property and under a beautiful apple tree we were given a delightful cider tasting plus tour. Honestly, I wish that we could have stayed for much, much longer! This farm and the surroundings was the most peaceful place we have ever stayed. You won't regret this experience for a second!

My family truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Everything was perfectly kept and maintained. It was an updated modern home but incredibly cozy with a living room perfect for family entertainment: couches, games, books, and a fireplace. The rooms comfortably housed 8 of us and the bathrooms were perfect. The room upstairs is gorgeous with a huge balcony and a viewing room with a telescope. We couldn't use the telescope this time around (it was cloudy) but knowing it's there for a future opportunity is great. All our beds were comfortable - everyone had a good night's rest. Checking in and beginning our stay with a private tour through the animal haven was so special. The tour guide was very kind and knowledgable and made the experience extra special for our twin toddlers. We got good laughs and great photos with the alpaca, mini horse, baby cows, and goats. The house was very quiet even as winds were gusting outside. Even if we didn't have anywhere to go and just stayed in the home all day - that would still have made the entire trip completely worthwhile for the whole family. We would love to enjoy another stay here!

The property is in wonderful shape. The kitchen is well stocked, the house is clean and well maintained and as described, and the property is soothing. There multiple decks where you can sit and relax with morning coffee, evening wine, a book, or just your thoughts. We had a great time.

We loved staying on the farm. The house can easily absorb 6-8 people. Nice big living room, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, wonderful spots for eating either indoors or out. Communication with owner was easy and clear. Would happily return again!

My family had a blast staying at October Farm. The kids loved waking up to the sounds of Roger the rooster every morning, watching Joaquin the turkey strut his stuff, and taking a tour of the animal sanctuary. Most of all they enjoyed playing outside on the big tree without the assistance of electronic devices. We even spotted a bald eagle several times during our stay. The location was also great - right in the middle of the island a short drive to everything. The kitchen was well stocked and the wifi was fast. Joe was a responsive host.

5.0 / 10.0

What a marvelous house, reminded us of our time staying in the Cotswalds in England. Home was well stocked with excellent appliances, Books, games etc. loved waking up sipping a cup of coffee in the porch. While the home is so close to town , it still feels removed with most of privacy. Great home for a quiet time with family or a larger family reunion.

We loved our time here. The layout was great and lots of space for 3 young children to run arrive safely both inside and out. We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back!
