This was such a wonderful old house to stay in. We were there to put on my mother’s memorial and it was a perfect place to come and have some peaceful moments. It was also 2 blocks from town which made it very easy to get around. Also my dogs were happy to come with us on this trip and this house made that easy. Thanks!

The location of this house could not be better. It is a short walk to the ferry and shops and restaurants. The beds and pillows are clean and comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. There was enough space for our group of 8 women. The house did not feel very clean and it is need of some updates and repairs.

Quiet location

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 :)

Love it...but

The location is great but the lack of cleanliness was noticable. For the price I was expecting more. Wood floor dusty, socks were fifthly after an evening of cards the first night. Two used towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Found a large metal water bottle on back porch. Glass table top in nook wasn't washed (lots of cup rings) Wooden Stair case needed washing, duck tape holding window together in Living room was an eye sore, the area around door knobs weren't clean, couple of coffee mugs found dirty in cabinet, towels upstairs smelt musty, (we appreciate when owners provide them, but not if I have to wash them first) toaster released crumbs constantly. The bedroom off kitchen has no air ventalation it got so stuffy and hot. It was nice to have puzzles but they were all miixed up together and when we finally separated them and put them together they all had missing pieces. The closet.provided in one room was from the 30's and left your clothes smelling old. We ended up hanging them from a shelf in the room. The ceiling fan light in the bathroom was so dirty. Cobwebs are always a sign that the cleaning crew is sleeping while working. Beds were comfortable except the one in the kitchenette room. The backyard had knee high weeds. So we just stayed on the porch. One bulb working in main bathroom but if you want to be in walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor then this is a great place.
Nope not going out there
Hand rail was gross
Stairs where so dusty
Yuck

Close In and quirky

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.

A great deal on a place to house everyone

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!

Location is great. Walking distance to town and brewery. Large bedrooms and plenty of beds for our group but mattresses could be updated as they were a bit squeaky. The couches also could use new cushions and were not comfortable. The sink in one of the downstairs bathrooms needs to be either be replaced or reglazed and kitchen drawers need fixing as they were a struggle to open and closeThe owner was quick to respond to any questions and overall was good stay

Perfect property for our stay on the island! We had 3 families there for a wedding. 7 adults and 5 children. Great space for us all to sleep and enjoy. The backyard was especially wonderful for the kids and the croquet set was fun for them to learn a new game. Located close to the shopping and ferry dock, yet no close neighbors. Easy check-in and check/out. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Friday Harbor!

Perfect little getaway

The proximity to the town and ferry was a plus. Neighborhood was quiet and safe to walk around. There were plenty of comfy beds but the layout wasn’t great for multiple families or large group. The house was dirty and didn’t have very much toilet paper to accommodate a large group. Would have loved the outdoor space but it was overgrown and unusable. Not ideal for a large group of 13. Better for a smaller group as there is only dining space for 9 -10 comfortably. Overall the place was fine and we made it work for our trip. The host communicated well and made the check in check out process super easy!
