Summary of reviews
The property's location, cleanliness, and comfort were highly appreciated by guests. The suites offer a cozy and homey atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing stay. Convenient walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the harbor.
8.0
The rooms and beds were comfortable. Nice big bathroom. There aren't any microwave dishes, just plates, bowls, etc.
Apparently there's a toaster available on request. The only place that info is listed is on one of the photos. Unfortunately, we didn't find that until the day we were leaving.
Otherwise, we had a great stay!
6.0
Great location. Over priced. Paper thin walls. Not that we watched TV but it was the size of our lap tops!

Clean rooms, good outdoor sitting, great location, walk to all the restaurants, easy parking. Would like to see a hot water kettle added as part of the amenity enhancement.

The Farmer's Suite was a great choice for my friends and me to stay at during our 3 relaxing nights on San Juan Island. There was enough space for all 3 of us and the space was highly functional (nice eating area, plenty of hooks/hanging spots, adequate kitchenette, etc.). Maybe an additional mirror and blanket would've been nice. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay and found it to be of great value! Excellent location as well. We often left our car parked at the place and walked around town from the suite.

This was my first visit to San Juan Island so it was a tough decision while researching where to stay. I finally landed on Acanthus and I'm so glad! Completely walkable from downtown, off street parking, and all the amenities you'd need. This historic house is beautiful and charming, albeit somewhat creaky, but that's part of what comes with an older property.

Loved the rental, it met all our needs with two teenagers who ran to the sea a few times. We were able to walk pretty much everywhere,very close to the ferry lines. The house was sweet and a little fox even came to visit our last evening.

I loves this 2 bedroom suite. It was cozy, had a little kitchen space (sink, fridge, microwave) and dining/sitting area. It was located right behind the San Juan Brewery and is only a 5 minute walk to the ferry dock.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, great. A few nits -- no, wait, I'll call them "suggestions for improvement" -- but on the whole a nice, comfortable stay. A large choice of eateries and pubs within a short 5 to 10 minute walk. The house was our base of operations during a three day motorcycle exploration of the San Juan Islands. Suggested improvements: bathroom fab noisy and ineffective, quits after running for five minutes. Replace the fan. Water is a "precious commodity," yet it take 3.5 minutes of running the hot water tap to get the water warm, let alone hot. Insulate the pipes. Finally, pick up some used books and leave them lying around. It adds to the ambience of the old comfy home, and gives people something to read while waiting for the slow person to take their shower.

We enjoyed our stay in the Farmer’s Suite. Great location, off street parking and friendly and responsive property management.The space was clean and comfortable. We appreciated all of the kitchen and bath items provided an especially the sitting room for planning our outings on island. Be aware that that it’s an historic home and so sounds of other guests may be heard.
8.0
Bedrooms were nice. Front room was a little quirky and tight. Banquet was not that comfortable. TV was size off a computer monitor! Kitchenet was lacking a toaster/toaster oven and counter space. Location was great, close to downtown Friday Harbor. I would still come back to this location.
10.0
Rooms are nice and comfortable. One room needed black out curtains to block out the light. The kitchenette is really not for preparing any food, too tiny. Location is great, easy to walk to town.

Honestly great location, but furniture was stylish but no comfortable, I distinctly remember signing up to pay less than I did for this site, and honestly I would not stay here again for the cost. I will look into staying at a local hotel for about $20-50 a night less.

Great location, very short walk to the harbor and restaurants. We enjoyed the 2 nice sized bedrooms, sitting room, little kitchenette w coffee pot and microwave and bathroom with all the needed amenities. No noise from other guests in other suites, completely seamless online check-in and check out were also a bonus! Would definitely stay here again! Plenty of parking for our rental car which we definitely would recommend to drive to all the gorgeous parks and beaches on the island.

Cute, cozy, had most amenities. Would been great if had more comforable chairs.

If you just need a place to sleep in a downtown location this is your place. Location is great and walkable to harbor and town. But a big disappointment in the kitchen having only a microwave & mini fridge, not even a toaster or containers to facilitate microwave cooking. For 4 people there’s no gathering area to relax or watch tv together, nor do the bedrooms have any tvs. The bathroom door doesn’t lock or even latch solidly, so uncomfortable wondering if my in-laws might walk in on me. We were excited to stay in a historic home, but the furnishings and decor didn’t make sense, completely missing an opportunity for a period home.
10.0
Home was walking distance to town, guest parking was safe and easy, decor was historic and delightful, clean and comfortable accommodations. Great stay!
10.0
We loved this house! Great communication with the owner. So nice to have super easy directions to get to the house. We thought it was even better than the pictures! So nice and quiet at night. Beautiful front porch to start the day on. Walking to town was a breeze. COMFORTABLE beds. Everything we needed to feel at home.
10.0
Cozy house in a good location: near the ferry, parks, shops. Instructions was detailed and understandable. Two details can improve the experience, for example: 1) make it so that the bathroom door can be closed; 2) add a small electric stove, some salt and sugar to the kitchen.

This was such a cute little place to stay while in Friday harbor. Right in town so you could walk everywhere.
10.0
Blocks from the ferry, close to restaurants and coffee shops. The room was a bit too cold even with heaters but it did have enough blankets to keep us warm. Internet was a bit slow but it’s possible it was due to the high winds (early March).
10.0
All of the best spots in town are within walking distance! The house itself is beautiful with lots of classic details you can only find in historic properties: dark wood, gorgeous molding, stained glass accents, tiled shower, copper lined sink, high ceilings, relaxing & spacious front porch. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here if we visit Friday Harbor again (which we'd love to!). Thank you!

My only recommendation is comfy chairs on the porch for reading and enjoying your wine or morning coffee.

The location of this house was fabulous, loved walking into downtown Friday Harbor. Beds were. Wry comfortable. The window situation bothered me a bit. Only a few windows actually opened, and the ones that did would not stay, had to prop them open with something.

Acanthus Farmer Suite, great location for your trip
The Acanthus Farmer suite is well set up with two bedrooms, a small kitchenette, and general room. The weather was warm while we were there, so we appreciated the fans in the unit. We did have some issues keeping the windows open for the fans to pull air, but managed to work around it. The beds were quite comfortable. The Acanthus Suites are in an excellent location. We were able to walk to all the restaurants and sights in Friday Harbor easily. The car was only used when we left Friday Harbor. The big front porch on the Acanthus Suites, was a big hit in the mornings and evenings.

This place is adorable! The beds are really cozy, and I absolutely love all the windows. The bathroom is large, and the kitchenette is perfect for a weekend. There is a little dining room with a few chairs. My only suggestion is to have a small love seat in the dining room for hanging out on cold evenings. We loved sitting in the yard and on the porch when it was warm enough though!
