Regal Royal room
Emily V.

Absolutely splendid: warm, welcoming, and with so many thoughtful touches. I really didn't want to check out! I'd have loved to spend more time on site but was visiting Friday Harbor for a wedding. Loved every aspect of the Regal Royale room -- especially the window seat for writing and sipping tea. Thanks to Juniper!

Pine room has a 3 level bunk bed
Dianna N.

We stayed in the Pine room which was $149/night. It has a queen bed, and a 3 level bunk bed. There was a also a small sofa. The bathroom was across the way, but the door had a sign that it's a private bathroom for Pine room guests. Your room key has one for the room and the bathroom. For COVID-19, there was contactless check in and check out. I was provided the code to the front door after booking my reservation, and our room keys were inside with a note of where to find the room. I dropped our keys off in the same place when we left. For both check in and out I just sent a Juniper an update via text. Super easy! Kitchen usage was more limited, but we could still use the fridge to store some of our stuff. The room and bathroom were both very clean. It was nice that there were 2 bathrobes for us to use. The bathrooms had towels, liquid hand soap, bar soap, and the shower had a shampoo and conditioner dispenser. The location is about a 5 minute drive from downtown, but we loved that it was away from other hotels and businesses. It was next to farm land so we saw some animals. There are 2 hammocks outside, along with some tables, and a fire pit. It was a fantastic stay and we'd definitely come again the next time we're in San Juan. Hopefully we can bring enough friends with us to rent the whole place!

Organic Green Tea Room

My mom and I stayed 6 nights in the Organic Green Tea Room, and we loved it! The room is so cute and cozy. Love the window seat! Perfect for curling up with a book and reading. The bed was very comfortable. We just loved it! The rest of the inn was great! Clean and cute. I loved the decor. There were yoga mats to use for guests (I teach and practice yoga, so perfect for me). The kitchen was clean and well organized. Sharing with others was fine. I liked that you could just go in there and fix what you wanted. No set times for breakfast like at traditional b&b's. Grounds were relaxing and beautiful. We sat outside one morning to enjoy watching the sheep grazing. The inn is close enough to town, but far away enough not to be touristy or busy. Like going out to the country, but not a long drive. I will be going back! It was wonderful!

This place is FANTASTIC. I had a great feeling about it after reading all the reviews and viewing the website, but it wasn't until we arrived that I truly understood what all the hype was about - the Juniper Lane Guest House is amazing. It is beautiful, it is peaceful, and it has a great energy about it. From the moment we arrived, I just felt relaxed and happy. It isn't too far out of town and is an easy find as it is right along Beaverton Valley Road. The property is great and has absolutely gorgeous views of the San Juan hills. We stayed in the Regal Royale room upstairs and it was so so lovely. The decor is exotic in a unique and laid-back way. The bed was amazing - super comfortable and some of the softest sheets I have ever slept on. It was almost a bummer getting home and sleeping in my own bed because my sheets do not compare to the ones here! There is a standing shower and claw-foot tub in the bathroom. There are areas that we did not use, but are of great advantage to guests. There is the shared kitchen, filled with free coffee and tea, as well as use of the refrigerator, stove, etc. If you buy fresh seafood in town and want to make dinner, you can bring it back here and easily cook it up. There is the backyard with its fire pit and tables, where you can sit out and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the views. They even have hammocks out there, which we tested out after a long day of bike riding. The downstairs common area with couches and chairs is filled with all sorts of interesting books and CDs. The entire property is a unique space and really designed to give the guests a warm and welcomed feeling. Rates are extremely reasonable considering it was the summer peak season. We paid $135 per night, which seemed like a an absolute steal - especially compared to some of the prices of actual hotels on the island. Other rooms have lower rates - due to their having shared baths - or slightly higher rates (only if you have higher occupancy than two people). There is also a cabin available for rent that easily holds a family. There was only one small thing that really bugged me and that was the lack of water pressure in the shower in the bathroom. I am one of those people that likes a strong water flow and this shower head did not do the trick. This probably wouldn't bug most people, but it was my one tiny pet peeve about this place. Everything else was perfection. Overall, we had a really great experience staying here. It was the perfect location and perfect environment for us to really sit back, relax, and enjoy our stay on the island. I would stay here again, no doubt about it.

We stayed in the room on the first floor. Very cozy and clean. Hot shower. Juniper (owner) is very friendly and accommodating. Decor is very cute as well.

I can't even tell you how fantastic this place is. It's magical. It is beautiful, quirky in the best way, peaceful, and- not to sound all new-agey, but- has a really great energy about it. I have met some wonderful people there over the years- I've stayed a number of times, and have great memories from each time. I've even developed friendships with fellow guests that I've continued over the years. Like I said before, I really can't tell you how absolutely wonderful the Juniper Lane Guest House is, you'll just have to go find out for yourself. So... Go- go right now. Or at least drop what you're doing and make a reservation right now and go soon. You will not regret it, you will only regret that it's taken you so long to get there.

Adequate parking provided at Juniper Lane Guest House
Cathy A.

I had never been to San Juan Island, and I'm glad that I read and trusted the Yelp reviews posted... this trip was a girls trip for my daughter and me. I'm very happy that we decided to stay at Juniper Lane Guest House. This is not a B and B; they do have a nice, fully stocked kitchen in case you want to cook... but you might want to choose to bring snacks etc as we did. There is coffee that you can make.. and we did try some of the teas. This is self serve. The microwave came in handy , too. What is very nice here is the retro chic ambiance. It's as if you're staying in a home , with interesting art, decor from many cultures enhance each room to give this place a loved, homey feeling. The exterior is well maintained and the eagles nesting up in one of the trees was an unexpected pleasure. As far as pricing, Juniper Maas has tried to beat her competition... and we arrived on a weds and left to return on a Friday ; but we wished that we could have stayed longer. There are patios and seating outside.. along with hummingbirds enjoying the many attractant flowers. We really enjoyed the fact that we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. I want to return to San Juan Island and when I do, Juniper Lane Guest House will be my first choice. The lower level is ADA compliant. The restroom would need to have grab bars etc to be accessible for elderly or handicapped guests . Most areas , though, are accessible via wheelchair.

Pine Room
Wendy K.

I love this place! Stayed here with some friends for a part of a multi-city vacation trip and this is probably my favorite place to stay at throughout all my vacationing. Ever. It's just outside of Friday Harbor, but not so far that you have to drive far to get there from the ferry landing. Juniper has such an attention to detail with the design and decor of the rooms. The beds are SO comfy and the sheets are like silk. You wake up to sheep bah-ing in the field out back. I wish we could have spent more than just 2 nights here. There is a backyard area with a fire pit and hammocks with hanging lanterns hung all around. At night it looks quite magical. The kitchen is stocked with freshly ground coffee ready to be brewed. The entire house is very very clean. There were 3 of us and we stayed in the Pine room. This is the room with its own bathroom that is just across the hallway. Room had more than enough space for us and our luggage. We traveled to Portland after staying here and had an AirBnb house rented - it seriously felt like we were roughing it after staying at Junipers wonderful Guesthouse (even though the AirBnb house was fine). We wanted to go back!

beautiful!
Rebecca S.

Four of my friends and I stayed here for two nights and LOVED it! We stayed in the Cedar Backpacker and Mandela rooms so that we could share bathroom. The house is lovely and we really enjoyed the location. Woke up to the beautiful farm and spent a night around the fire circle. The room at first was a bit hot but all the windows open and the breeze cooled it off (esp. since we are from Texas). Can't wait to go back to Friday Harbor and Juniper's guesthouse!!! We also loved the friendly yard cat. We name it Cashmere the cat :)

We booked on line and the entire process from booking through check out was very impressive, clean and friendly. They stayed in contact with me via email for updates on their Covid safe check in process and general information about our short stay. They even created a few very informative and cleaver videos to convey this process. We booked Sweet 1 (example of play on words). It was just perfect for us and had harbor front views. They do have several different room types. They have "Euro" rooms that share a common living area and kitchen, with a number of individual rooms connected that have its own sitting space and bathrooms. This would be good for a group of people that want to connect in the shared common space and then go off to your own rooms. Sweet 1 was full of interesting design elements. The bed linens...OMG awesome! I usually NEVER ever like hotel sheets even if it's the Four Seasons. I love my bamboo sheets which are like sleeping on uber soft 1000 thread count. It's literally all I have in my house. But these bed linens are so nice I found out what they were and purchased two sets on line before even checking out of the hotel. The location is walking distance to the ferry terminal. So if you don't want to take your car it is very easy to get around town on foot to some very good entries and shopping. If you want excellent breakfast go to Rocky Bay next to the theater. Yes, walking distance. However, we loved having our car because we spend most of one day driving completely around the island stopping at all the points of interests we could take in. I highly recommend Island Inn 123!!! Thank you to the entire staff there for being so helpful and kind! Kwan PS; If you take your car you should reserve parking space in the Inn's parking garage. They don't have a lot of spaces but if you reserve one you are guaranteed parking when you want it.

Location cannot be beat. It is literally steps from the harbor, and you can step right off of your boat, the ferry or the seaplane. Check-in and quick and easy. I stayed in Sweet 1 which is the 1st room up the stairs. So convenient to going everywhere. Room is super spacious and everything was comfortable. Nice touch with the welcome fruit bowl. Bath was also spacious and toiletries were well-stocked and great quality (all Malin+Goetz!). Super close to restaurants, bars, and the town, where parking is difficult (so being able to walk was a big perk!). Only negatives (and they were very minor) were the missing water and coffeemaker in the room, and the difficulty in understanding the instructions for the shower head.

Oh, man. This is a tough review to write. First off, there are so many things I really like about…read morethis hotel. The location is great - close to everything in Friday Harbor but not on a street with as much traffic as some others. The customer service is great - just send them a text and you get a response in seconds. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room interior was good - everything looked clean with plenty of toiletries, cozy robes, and a heated bathroom floor. The bathroom in general was dated. We had a non operational jetted tub that had been converted into a duel faucet rain shower. It was rather weird, but it worked. I also really liked the keyless entry, so no worries about losing your key! Now, my one negative. Our room, and I'm assuming all rooms on this side of the building, abut a loading dock and parking lot for an adjacent grocery store. Every morning at 5am, a semi truck, fork lift, and workers unload the truck. In addition to back up safety alarms, truck engines idling, and workers talking, you also hear the constant rumbling of goods being unloaded. This goes on for HOURS.....starting at 5am. The hotel gives you ear plugs and notes that there is no noise ordinance on the island and notes that neighbors can be noisy and the hotel can't do anything about that. I get it...you can't control noisy patrons or neighbors, but the description given doesn't really convey what is actually going on with this side of the building. Constant, very loud noise and alarms for over two hours starting at 5am. All that said, I would stay here again, but I would make sure any room I book has views of the harbor, and not the back side of the hotel.

This is a great place to stay. We have been doing VRBOs in Friday Harbor and honestly, in our price…read morerange, we got WAY more for our money at Bird Rock. It has steps, indoors and out (I found the outdoor steps easier on my bad hip) and it's just a lovely place - nicely decorated and SO clean. Our room was Fidalgo, we had a big soaker tub and kitchen area, I loved having two places to watch tv since sometimes one of you can sleep and the other is enjoying vacation insomnia time. ;) Out back, a walk through a parking lot takes you to King's Market which had everything. We did not find the hotel loud, but they offer earplugs just in case. The mattress was great, seriously- firn enough but with a soft topper or something, we both slept so well.

We had a really nice stay at Earthbox Inn and Spa. Right off the bat, they were very polite,…read morecourteous, and cordial via text to get all set up and pre-checked in so that we could go straight to our room when we arrived. I really appreciated that they had free EV chargers for guests, so we could plug in our car after a long day of driving and riding the ferry, at no additional charge. Spectacular. They are centrally located to everything you might want to do in Friday Harbor, so we only had to take our car once, when we went sightseeing around the island. Otherwise, it just stayed parked because we could walk everywhere, which was really nice. Everyone I interacted with during our stay was pleasant and professional. We had a maintenance issue in our room and they were quick to remedy it. I was a little disappointed that our room did not have some kind of fan to move air and the AC only went down to about 67 degrees and the furniture felt a bit...damp, so that is the reason for the 4 stars. I like my room to be cold, crisp, and clean and the one we stayed in just felt a bit...musty. Also, the local lavender farm is closed and the products are now sourced from Whidbey Island, but that was not disclosed to me until I asked, so I might suggest updating the information in the rooms. I was a bit disappointed we couldn't visit the lavender farm on island because it was permanently closed and so the sign in the bathroom kind of set me up for failure. All in all, it was a mostly pleasant stay and I would return the next time we want to visit Friday Harbor.

Not gonna lie -- Earthbox turned out to be a wonderfully refreshing change from a generic hotel…read morestay. The grounds -- consisting of about 4 or 5 separate buildings -- had a lovely chill vibe, lots of greenery around the compound, an indoor pool and sauna and a nice array of separate outdoor seating areas. The separate office/lobby was a large but cozy welcoming space with a fireplace, couches and coffee and a comfy spot to relax in. Also, not gonna lie -- accommodations are upscale Best Western level, which again, I have no problem with, but just so ya know, that's 300 greenbacks in high season. Hey, it's an island, I get it, there's not many options; Just throwing it out there. Our Queen Standard room was on the small side, but the bath/shower was perfectly adequate (if a bit dated), as was the A/C, and the bed and bedding was pretty comfortable. The staff too was awesome, cheery and happy to meet any need. We loved the pool and jacuzzi setup, and there's even a little exercise room in the same building. One thing I could have done without were the 5 or so emails I received before check-in, begging me to complete the online check-in form ahead of time, so I could just go right to the room without needing to stop at the office. Didn't work and I still had to physically check in. So yea, that was a pain. And yet? They still get 4 stars. Our one-night stay may have been expensive but it was very comfortable.

Our room had an en-suite bathroom that was clean and had modern fixtures. Wonderful hosts! Claudia, Tyrone & Sveva. Claudia made an amazing breakfast each morning. She even baked chocolate chip cookies daily, there was also coffee, tea, & hot coco available at any time for us to have from the kitchen. We really enjoyed feeding the Alpacas and Pygmy Goats. The animals were so adorable and friendly. My only con was our initial impression of the room as it did not have a TV. But as our stay went on, we thoroughly enjoyed not having a TV in the room, it allowed us to disconnect more and take in the beauty of the island and surroundings. They do have a family/tv room, but we never felt the need to turn it on. If you are looking for a little peace & quiet, with a great breakfast each morning that is included in your stay, you have to come and stay at the Trumpeter Inn Bed & Breakfast!!
