Friday Harbor, Washington
Retreat to a 5 acre home site with 11 acres of adjacent forest of quiet, soaring eagles and deer visits. A walkabout nature trail through the woods circles the home site and pond. Dine and relax on your private romantic gazebo as you view the water. This modern style, original art-filled home was completed in 2012 . The house has a very large master with king bed and luxury bath and the upstairs guest room has 2 double beds with bath. The living room sofa sleeps one and there is a first floor powder room. Plenty of driveway to park a boat trailer. This home is fully equipped and accommodating for the best vacation experience. The 1st floor primary bedroom with king bed has a small deck and patio door. The walk-in Elfa furnished closet includes luggage rack. Wall mounted flat panel TV with Direct TV, ceiling fan, in room heat and AC control.
The usual minimum stay is 4 nights, but there are summer dates with a two night minimum when guest bookings leave open dates. Check the calendar for short visit options, or send an inquiry.
The detached garage has an apartment on the 2nd floor, occupied year round by a lovely couple who tend the flower gardens.
the house was impeccably clean and loaded with all the basic necessities; a plethora of dishes, cooking utensils, great fridge and stove and we felt extremely comfortable. I think every neighborhood on San Juan island is excellent and we very much liked the tucked-away location. Communication with the owner was quick, timely and accurate. There were only two minor things I would suggest for the next resident: the directions to the house could be made more clear and 9 remote controls for the TVs (?). I know the local cable companies are challenging and the truth is we didn't watch TV at all but if the next guest wants to watch TV it is a challenge
We really enjoyed this peaceful property. The home was very clean and well stocked with games and puzzles. The kitchen had a lot of odds and ends (don't bring spices - they're pretty well stocked) that made eating in convenient. The walkabout was a lovely addition and we enjoyed the gazebo by the pond. It was nice to have space to unwind after exploring San Juan Island.
The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The location was easy and right in the middle of the island. We all felt so welcome and right at home. We would love to come back again and again!
This home is perfectly situated in the middle of San Juan Island - 15-20 minutes' drive from all points of interest on the island. The setting is private, serene, and beautifully landscaped. The owner has lovingly appointed this home with attention to detail inside and outside and has entrusted her guests with stunning artworks and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is a dream with every conceivable item you could possibly want to prepare a culinary masterpiece. We purchased fresh mussels from Wescott Shellfish Farms (order/pay online in advance and pick up the next day - pay attention to their hours) and found everything we needed to cook several other meals throughout our four-night stay. Beds are comfortable, linens are luxurious. The owner provides valuable information about island access, activities, and other information to newcomers. Great communication via email and printed materials inside the home. We have stayed in various other VRBO units on the island but this one was our favorite - we will return time and again.
My kids and I stayed here for a short trip to San Juan. We could not have asked for anything better. The home is beautiful and comfortable. Everything you could need is provided. The forested setting, art, books and puzzles made me wish we could stay much longer. Staying here is a nice respite from the fun but commercial Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!
beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. Well stocked, everything you wanted was there. Property owner was very easy to get ahold of and great to work with. I would 100% stay here again!
We loved staying at this house!
The property is beautiful with nice big ceilings. It's always nice to have a whole house to yourself and family. This is not however a good property for little ones. It is full of beautiful, breakable objects at their reaching level. The house is full of light and openess but the bedrooms do not have room darkening shades so if you are sensitive to light and want to sleep in on vacation, good luck. Having to drive 15-20 min to get into town can be a hassle too if you need to get anything at the store. The house is very clean and the owner really cares about the upkeep. She is very nice and easy to work with. Check in and out was super easy.
We would highly recommend this home for your next getaway. It was a clean comfortable, artsy place in the woods. It is close to town and all the beaches. The property and walking path are wonderful. So quiet and relaxing. Better then advertised. At the top of our list for a return visit. Becky, Bob and Jill APRIL 2023
This beautiful home is tucked away in the woods. It is quiet and close to town for activities. The best of both worlds, an active get away with lots of comfort for quiet relaxation.
The house was perfect, comfortable, and interesting. A real home with books, art, and all the amenities of home. The location is off the beaten path so no traffic or noise. A great place to come home to after a day of adventure. We loved it!
My husband and I loved our stay here. Easy to get to from Friday Harbor, but quiet and secluded. Would definitely come back!
This home was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the accommodations. The electricity went out but even that was an adventure since there were lanterns provided to help get around. The kitchen had everything for making an evening meal of tacos. The beds were comfy. It was a nice stay in this home.
Peaceful, inviting, stressless and comfortable. We enjoyed the walking trail through the forest too. I highly recommend it!
We love everything about this home. Great location hidden away but still only 10 minutes from downtown (and every other place on the island). It’s very well stocked, has everything one could need. Beds are all very comfortable. Staying here is like staying at your own home or better!
Jeanne’s home is beautifully and peacefully situated, and the interior is a perfect connection to the surroundings. Everything we could have wished for in our home away from home was available, and the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve had in a vacation rental. The quality of the furnishings, art, linens, bedding, and the availability of appliances and technology (when we wanted it), are noteworthy because they all appear to be thoughtfully provided. We loved our time at this home.
Such a lovely home and beautiful grounds! Everything was a delight, from the art-infused gravel path through the woods, to the very (very!) well-appointed kitchen, to the expansive bathroom with new fixtures, to the plentiful board games and nature books, to the comfy bed and fluffy towels. Such a relaxing, restorative few days. Love love love San Juan Island. Perfect. We were sad to leave, but perhaps returning to the purple house in the woods next year?!?
It was an easy process to rent and check into and out of the house.
The house was great and in a beautiful setting - It was so quiet and peaceful. We'd definitely stay there again. Jeanne, the host, was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had,
This home is in an idyllic setting and very comfortable, with everything you need. Wonderful!
Great property- good communcation with owner
Jeanne’s property is a perfect retreat on the beautiful San Juan Island. We enjoyed the property’s beautiful gardens. The house is perfect for our family of four. A wonderfully stocked kitchen, plenty of puzzles and books and the house was full of amazing art. Jeanne was a gracious host and super responsive. We will definitely be back!
The house was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, clean and elegantly furnished. The grounds were immaculately kept with lovely plants and flowers. plants and flowers. The location was perfect. It was in the wooded area but very close to downtown Friday Harbor for restaurants shopping etc. My wife and I highly recommend it. The other couple we were with loved as much as we did.
