Good “old” property which made it fun and unique. Beds could use an upgrade.
Cleaning service was lacking, cobwebs, some dishes in cupboard were dirty, bathroom mirrors full of toothpaste

We traveled to Friday Harbor with our Son, daughter-in-law and our dogs. The house could have accommodated many more that 4 people and their dogs. It was clean and comfortable and very accessible to town. Wish we could have stayed longer . . . next time for sure!!

We have stayed at the Loring House several times now and always appreciate that it is easy walking distance to town, the ferry, and the fairgrounds. And it sleeps 14, which is great for big families like ours to share with friends and relatives!
It is a low-frills sort of place, but that is just fine. It is a charming older Craftsman home, with wood floors and cozy nooks. For big groups you will get to know each other with 4 or more to the room, but the rooms are still roomy enough. There is a spare kitchenette upstairs but we have never used it. There is room to lounge about and to get to know each other around the kitchen table, various nooks, and the nice yard. The charcoal BBQ works well. There is no dishwasher but bonds are made over things like sudsy hands. The water is hot and 3 bathrooms means rarely a wait, even for large groups. The internet is good if you can't pry the phones out of the hands of the younger crowd. The DVD player wasn't working for us - but who uses DVDs anymore anyway?
For bigger groups be aware that dishes and silverware will get tight, and there isn't a table big enough to comfortably seat more than about 8 at one time (but that didn't stop any fun). There were plenty of pots and pans that we needed, and a coffee maker and microwave.
We will definitely be back again next time we take a trip to the islands. Thanks!

Way more value than photos demonstrate. Definitely staying here again

Great location to town! Beds were comfortable and we easily slept 7. (Beds a bit snug to sleep a couple)
Kitchen space was good but but dated. We used it for simple meals, nothing elaborate.
Living room area was comfortable. Wish there was a front screen door to take advantage of good weather days.
Bedroom’s could use better window coverings so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in or go to bed early.

House was accurately described and great for our group, with plenty of space. Walkable to town and right around the corner from San Juan Brewery. Cute little outdoor area

5.0 / 5.0
Although by no means 'fancy' digs, the house and its furnishings were perfectly comfortable and ideal for our group of six. It was a 5-8 min walk to the center of town, so convenient to all activities. We didn't do any cooking so can't speak to the adequacy of the kitchen furnishings, but you do need to provide your own coffee. Simple, reasonably priced accommodations in a beautiful location.

This property was in a great location for what we were there for. It was good for our use and had plenty of room for our family. I would say that the furniture & mattresses could be upgraded at some point to make an even better experience. couches very worn and uncomfortable, mattresses are worn.
everything else was fine.
3.0 / 5.0
The house was clean and the location is excellent — within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal, shops and restaurants. Some things about the property were sub-par, however. The towels were thin, poor quality. The bathroom sink off the main floor bathroom has rust stains and non-mixing faucets. The shower control in that bathroom was hard to adjust. The lawn furniture is old and worn, not appealing to sit on. The chairs at the dining table are too low. We felt the amenities did not match the price paid per night. We made the best of the situation and had a good time anyway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely old house. There were only four of us and we each had our own room. This house would be great for a family reunion, it is huge! Very close to town, food, coffee etc. Will definitely return.

Great weekend until the ferry system broke down on Sunday. I will not return to Friday Harbor because of that, sorry for your little town
4.0 / 5.0
Easy to walk to town. The house is old but kept up fairly well except for the front porch and yard. Furnishings were ok but definitely not enough seating if the house is full except for a bunch of mixed types of dining chairs. We enjoyed our stay and it suited our group well for what we needed.

Overall, a great place for a large group. The location was perfect and walkable to everything in town.

older house with great charm and character. Andrea was a great host and easy to communicate with. Location is about 3 blocks from downtown Friday Harbor and all activities (San Juan brewery is about 1-1/2 blocks away), the house was perfect to host our family for a wedding at Roche Harbor

Well cared for home with lovely old-fashioned character. Quiet home on large lot without close neighbors. Home is within walking distance to downtown Friday Harbor where you can find shopping, restaurants and a grocery store. Andrea responded to questions promptly :)

The property was perfect for our party of 8. We needed separate rooms for family and friends. Property is within walking distance to everyone. Communication with Andrea was a breeze. House is old and creaky but lots of character and fully functional. Some beds were comfier than others. Would totally stay here again!

Our first visit to Friday Harbor -- and we will be back and we will stay here❤️. Many restaurants are closed Tues & Wed so the perfect kitchen saved our bacon (literally!). Each bedroom has it's own fan, windows, heater. Fabulous, interesting, comfortable, adaptable! Great for families. Private yard. SO close to all the fun but totally quiet and private. What more could you possibly want?
4.0 / 5.0
It is a very large home with plenty of room for 6 of us to spread out. As advertised it is rustic including rust in the sink in the tiny bathroom of the master.

Most frustrating and difficult part of process was dealing with VRBO and trying to determine availability of property w/o having to submit credit card number before knowing if property was available at the time we wanted.

Entire family loved our stay in such a comfortable quaint home. Kids ran and play in the spacious yard. We loved the spacious inviting rooms. Walking distance to food, restaurants, and great views of the island. Highly recommend.

This is a great place for a large group. We had two families with 3 teens/young adults. So everyone needed their own space to be. The house is a classic quirky old Farmhouse with unique things, (like cool glass nobs to open the cabinets) so you need to bring some extra patience with this one, the floors squeak when you walk and doors stick sometimes, because hey, it's a little older. That's ok with us, as we like the character it brings. Location is fantastic, walkable to town and ferry so you could definitely leave your car on the mainland if you wanted too. Would love to have a little more soft seating in the family room but we had plenty of tables to use for games and puzzles while we were there. Thanks for letting us stay. - Whitney H.

Home was great, only complaint was the beds were very uncomfortable. Lots of bedding & towels etc, just very uncomfortable mattresses. Definitely worth the money, location etc 😊

Andrea is a fantastic host. Smooth check-in and check-out process. They had snow storm and power outage prior to our arrival. Andrea was very proactive and kept us informed prior to our arrival. Appreciate her hospitality.
