Loved the location and sleeping arrangements were adequate. Bed in Annex was very hard and that room was very hot even with windows open and fan going. We were so busy we didn't use the tiny TV. Only real sitting area is the dining table. Five of us stayed and it was a reasonable cost.

The Acanthus Suites are just adorable. A historic little spot within walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor. The pictures in the hallway describing the history of the home and the area added to the quaint and homey vibe.
Thanks for a lovely stay!

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!

This was an upstairs studio/attic room called the Miner's Room, and, frankly, it looked like a low class place underground workers would go to for a short sleep before hitting the mines again. Examples:
- The windows were small, didn't open far enough to cool in a hot summer (no a/c).
- The kitchenette was 1970s style with formica and vinyl everywhere. Fridge and microwave were itry bitty.
- Furniture was decrepit. Table was falling apart, armoir could only hold clothes if they went in the wrong way, drawers wouldn't slide right / fell off. These weren't antique, they were low class thrift store quality.
- Throw rug over the vinyl floor was threadbare and very dirty. Bedclothess looked 20 years old - tattered and faded color.
- Bathroom was smallest we've ever had, maybe under 20 sq ft? Motel 6 would've been a big step up. Hot water heater and cleaner stuff were behind the thinnest of curtains was not very clean.
- TV was a joke. My computer monitor at home was a much better quality.

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.

We were very happy with the cleanliness and location of the property. The layout of the Miner suite and Annex is a bit strange and it would help to make a floor plan available for guests before booking. We were also surprised that there were no tea/coffee supplies available.

We enjoyed are stay at the Miner's Suite. It's conveniently located. We stayed with two adults and two teenagers. They enjoyed the own area in the suite down the hall. Bathroom situation was different. No bathroom sink or typical mirror (i.e., kitchen sink doubles as bathroom sink). Putting on the pretty was a little harder in this suite :). Bed were comfortable and suites were clean.

We loved our stay. The house has 4 rooms to rent (plus the annex with the miner's suite) and we thought that would be weird, but we really never saw the other guests and it was very quiet. One block from town and 4 blocks from the ferry, loved the location. Our room (Miner's Suite) was large with two queen beds and the annex was great, but we didn't realize you had to access it from outside our room. Not a big deal, but be aware, the annex is next door. It was a great place to stay for the price, but I have to say the beds were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. Couldn't wait to get home to get some sleep. Would love to come back if they get some new beds that support our backs, otherwise would have definitely given it 5 stars, great place.

Great stay, so convenient!
This was a last minute booking but everything was so smooth and easy. The suite was super clean and the house is a 5 minute walk from all the happenings in Friday Harbor. The kids (10 & 14) found the beds to be very comfortable and "it was great for two nights!" We had a bit of a crunch with the one sink, but it wasn't a dealbreaker! Thank you so much!

Great room within an old family house!
We had a great stay! Clean and comfortable; we even had some friendly chat with other room’s vacationers. Walking distant to Friday Harbor, which offered pretty much everything you need for a couple nights stay!

Rented Miners Suite 2 nights. Easy check-in and walked from harbor area (it is uphill). Narrow stairs up to room. Very private, no AC so windows open so you hear noise of street & garbage truck pick up in the AM. Adequate space but no couch and no sink in the bathroom. TV had netflix access but no local channels. All appliances worked. After seeing beautiful harbor area I would rather have stayed at a location with a view.

Close to town
Pros: The house is very close to town and clean, parking is easy.
Cons: the front door to the home doesn’t lock, which isn’t very secure. The bed in the annex was listed as a queen but it is a full.
