This is a working farm that hosts a local cidery and Island Haven Animal Sanctuary, home to horses, cows, goats, wild farm cats, chickens and turkeys. Therefore all farm buildings and fenced pastures are off-limits to guests, unless escorted by staff of the Animal Sanctuary. This is for your safety and the safety of the animals and their caretakers.
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.
Great location, watched fireworks from the upstairs balcony. Nice place to go back to after a long day shopping, whale watching and exploring the beaches
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!
Comfortable, beautiful, and fun. Oils not ask for a better vacation. The house had great amenities, even including books for kids. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed to celebrate my Sister's 40th birthday. Everything was beautiful and peaceful with lots of room for kids to run around.
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!
