  We had a great stay! The two rooms were bright, inviting, and impeccably clean. Property management was quick to respond, and the housekeeper was especially friendly. The location was ideal—just a short walk from the ferry and a perfect home base for exploring Friday Harbor.

  Multi unit place. 5 different units. We had no issues with noise. We stayed in the Miners room, there are stairs to this room, again no issue for us. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, microwave and fridge. Room is perfect for two people. We loved the close proximity to town, it allowed us to explore the town. I would recommend.

  We had a great time visiting Friday Harbor for Christmas! The rental/property were just perfect for what we had planned. The location is close to town and the ferry, making this a great place for those walking on, while the oversized parking lot makes it great for driving in as well. We would 100% book with SJPM again and again!

  We had a very nice time staying in Miner's Suite. It was perfect for the two of us on a girl's trip and then we used the Suite a few nights for my friend's sister that came in for the weekend. We could walk to everything, the area was safe, and the place was clean. We will stay here again.

  THe Miner's Suite at the Acanthus House was perfec - plenty of sleeping space, a small kitchen, plenty of storage for all of our gear. Also, the house has a lot of architectural character. The price is great, and the location is about a five-minute walk to the main part of town.

  The Miner Suite was perfect for our annual girls trip! It was walking distance to everything in town and the brewery was right around the corner! It was clean and cozy with plenty of towels and linens! They had a few board and card games at the entrance which we liked since it rained the whole weekend. We would definitely stay again!

  We had a very pleasant weekend in Friday Harbor. The property is very clean and well maintained. The property manager was great - I couldn’t find the code to the annex (it was sent, just disappeared somewhere in my email) and my call was answered immediately and the problem resolved. They even checked in with us midway through the stay to make sure there were no problems (there wasn’t) which was appreciated.
