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!

We came to San Juan island to elope, my family joined us. We found Joe’s place and absolutely loved every bit of it!! We didn’t want to leave.

My family truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Everything was perfectly kept and maintained. It was an updated modern home but incredibly cozy with a living room perfect for family entertainment: couches, games, books, and a fireplace. The rooms comfortably housed 8 of us and the bathrooms were perfect. The room upstairs is gorgeous with a huge balcony and a viewing room with a telescope. We couldn't use the telescope this time around (it was cloudy) but knowing it's there for a future opportunity is great. All our beds were comfortable - everyone had a good night's rest. Checking in and beginning our stay with a private tour through the animal haven was so special. The tour guide was very kind and knowledgable and made the experience extra special for our twin toddlers. We got good laughs and great photos with the alpaca, mini horse, baby cows, and goats. The house was very quiet even as winds were gusting outside. Even if we didn't have anywhere to go and just stayed in the home all day - that would still have made the entire trip completely worthwhile for the whole family. We would love to enjoy another stay here!

The property is in wonderful shape. The kitchen is well stocked, the house is clean and well maintained and as described, and the property is soothing. There multiple decks where you can sit and relax with morning coffee, evening wine, a book, or just your thoughts. We had a great time.

It was as advertised

My family and I had a wonderful stay on the October Farm in San Juan Island. The kids loved the animals there!

What a great experience. Our first time to Washington & the Seattle area. The San Juan’s are absolutely beautiful. Friday Harbor is adorable. The week was planned around a wedding at Roche Harbor. Be sure to add this location to your must-see locals.

My family had a blast staying at October Farm. The kids loved waking up to the sounds of Roger the rooster every morning, watching Joaquin the turkey strut his stuff, and taking a tour of the animal sanctuary. Most of all they enjoyed playing outside on the big tree without the assistance of electronic devices. We even spotted a bald eagle several times during our stay. The location was also great - right in the middle of the island a short drive to everything. The kitchen was well stocked and the wifi was fast. Joe was a responsive host.

We loved staying on the farm. The house can easily absorb 6-8 people. Nice big living room, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, wonderful spots for eating either indoors or out. Communication with owner was easy and clear. Would happily return again!

What a marvelous house, reminded us of our time staying in the Cotswalds in England. Home was well stocked with excellent appliances, Books, games etc. loved waking up sipping a cup of coffee in the porch. While the home is so close to town , it still feels removed with most of privacy. Great home for a quiet time with family or a larger family reunion.

We loved our time here. The layout was great and lots of space for 3 young children to run arrive safely both inside and out. We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back!
