Harrison House Suites B&B

So pleasantly surprised. I had bought a Livingsocial getaway deal and wasn't quite sure what to expect upon arrival. The staff was courteous and gave us a thorough tour when we arrived and treated us exactly as if we had paid full price! The Inn is just a few blocks away from the main streets in town, so it was perfect that we were able to walk everywhere. Breakfast was superb; I have never experienced a three-course breakfast before. The granola was to rave about, and even my boyfriend purchased their cookbook. We tried the Innkeeper's restaurant Coho and was recommended one of the best bottles of wine I have ever had. We didn't have a bad meal while we where there. I will definitely be returning, not only for the charm of this little town, but also for the friendliness of the staff and the quaintness of the Inn. Thank you for such a splendid weekend getaway!

This is a wonderful place - close to the ferry and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The ferry ride to Friday Harbor is a wonderful treat - beautiful views. The B&B was charming and the staff very helpful and friendly.

My family and I recently stayed at the Harrison House for a winter weekend. There were 7 adults, a baby, and two black labs and we fit comfortably into the San Juan suite. The suite itself was very nice and cozy with a fireplace and plenty of space for the pups to roam around. The breakfasts were amazing and served in our suite. We also enjoyed a special birthday dinner served on premises so the puppies could join us which was equally delicious. The afternoon baked goodies were also a very nice touch. The innkeepers were very nice and always willing to help with any request. The location is perfect - just about a block or two from the ferry landing and the downtown area. If you're headed to Friday Harbor with a group or just your significant other for a romantic weekend, I definitely highly recommend the Harrison House.

I don't know what else was going on at the time, but we stayed at Harrison House last December, and it was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in the world. Very highly recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to write about your stay with us. We pride ourselves on providing sumptuous breakfasts, luxurious amenities and personalized service with a team of warm and gracious innkeepers. We hope your travels to the San Juan Islands will bring you back to our Inn's "always open" door.

Room not as described, shower filthy, run down. Sugar in Cabinet was used, Lotions and Shampoos in bath half used. Bed unable to navigate into it, placed up too high, literally had to jump up to try to navigate. Bed really hard and uncomfortable. Place looked like it was furnished from a thrift store. Water fountain outside very loud in room, had to call 3 times to get turned off, then did not turn off all way. Would not refund our stay, canceled second night had to leave Island!

The guests asked about the fountain. It is on a timer and would go off between 7:30-8:30 pm. There is a small aerator filter that would continue to run even when the fountain is off. At dinner at the Inn’s restaurant, they requested their entrees be well done. When I asked about their dinners, they said the Black Cod was lifeless. They had barely tasted it before making that determination. We apologized and asked if there was anything else we could prepare. He would share his wife’s plate. We charged for one dinner and applied a discount coupon to both dinners. At 8:00 pm, they called about the fountain. I reminded them it is on a timer and should go off in a half hour. Thirty minutes later he called. We remembered that we had a power outage that reset the timer. We apologized and Dave left the restaurant at 8:40 pm to turn off the fountain. At 12:30 am, the fountain was still off. At 6:45 am, the guests called to complain that the fountain kept them up. I ran to meet them and the fountain was off. I explained that the aerator stays on. I said we would have been happy to have turned that off too, but didn’t realize it was a problem. They had made their decision to leave as their car was in the ferry line. I gave them a courtesy credit and didn’t charge them a cancellation fee for truncating their two night stay. I never had the opportunity to offer alternative accommodations. We noticed that the window on the far side of their suite by the fountain was open. If they had closed the window, they could have had a peaceful night sleep. We have done extensive renovations to the property and suites over the last 6 years. Our housekeepers pride themselves to attention to detail. Each suite’s kitchen is fully stocked. We have private label skin care products in eco-friendly dispensers. Despite our best intentions, this guest felt that we fell short of his expectations.
