Family & Pets Stay at the Loring House
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!!

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!

Fabulous location!
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.

Comfy home in ideal location
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.

Wedding stay
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.

Could be great with some simple improvements
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.
