If you want to feel as if you have really abandoned civilization â€" without leaving behind your favorite contemporary luxuries â€" consider checking into Friday Harbor House on the San Juan Islands in Washington State. Life moves at a slower, more leisurely pace here and time seems to lose all significance. The 23-room inn exudes personality and warmth against the gray Pacific Northwest skies, and expansive windows frame striking panoramic views of the marina and ferry landing. Uncluttered guestrooms possess a Zen-like feel and lavish whirlpool tubs and lovely fireplaces create a homey feel. Each stay includes a delicious breakfast of fresh-baked goods and handmade granola, as well as boldly-flavored coffee, providing you with the perfect start to an ideal day.

We stayed in a small suite (three of us) and is was wonderful. The staff are simply spectacular-friendly helpful and accommodating in every way. The hotel is lovely and the location allows walking to ferry restaurants, shopping, bike rental. The views form the patio and our balcony were lovely- Our room was spacisou, and the hotel is immaculate. Daily housekeeping is scheduled via text, which is wonderful as you can specify a specific time. Or you can omit it- I always like to have waste baskets emptied and a bir of a refresh, so we had daily housekeeping. The toiletries were L'Occitane and were excellent. We had a whirlpool tub, which we all used daily (as well as a wonderful rain shower). This is a special hotel, in a lovely town and the San Juan Islands are just gorgeous. We enjoyed hiking, biking and kayaking.

We arrived at Friday Harbor for a first time visit to the region and a brief two night stay ( stay longer if you can)! The hotel was amazing. The staff were fantastic, I always forget names but Josh was very helpful and we loved the bar and restaurant staff ( especially the bartender she was from Hawaii). The amenities is what made this stay over the top and I will tell everyone… snack bar in afternoon with Milano cookies, popcorn etc… S Pellagrino drinks in the small refrigerator for your refreshment, coffee in the morning but in your room you have this wonderful set up with local coffee to be steeped along with Specialty oatmeal, reasonably priced wine and for your hair/body is L’Occtaine products. You have a soaking tub with salts ( I didn’t use). Water pressure good and hot water. The bed and room very comfortable and a beautiful balcony with a view of the harbor. Restaurant on site, patio seating) was very good and plentiful portions (we had breakfast) reservations recommended for breakfast and dinner. This was a true gem and I would highly recommend staying here if you can.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and the stay was everything we hoped for. The staff, especially Anda, Heather, Karla, Tina and others were super welcoming and it was obvious they took great pride and care in making us feel special. The view from our room overlooking the harbor was spectacular and the bed was very comfortable. The in-room hot tub was also a great treat.

This is a wonderful property. Only 42 rooms but the location is terrific and the staff friendly and accommodating. We missed the ferry and consequently dinner, the hotel said they would put box dinner in our room if needed. Note that the Resturant (very good) appears to be closed Wed/Thurs but there are lots of alternatives. All in all a great place to experience San Juan Island.
