Stayed Aug 9, 2025We loved this place!! It was great for our multigenerational reunion. The house is wonderful, the farm is beautiful, and the animals are very entertaining to watch! Joe was very responsive and helpful. We did arrange for a tour of the animal sanctuary - that was great! We did ride bikes from the property once into Friday Harbor. That works for experienced riders and tires that can handle gravel.

Stayed Jun 24, 2025The 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.

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!

Stayed Jul 31, 2024This 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!

Stayed Jul 1, 2024Our 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!!

Stayed Jun 17, 2024This 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!
