This full kitchen has a dishwasher, 4 burner range/oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and barbecue on the back deck – perfect for preparing a simple snack, steaks on the grill or Thanksgiving dinner.

Vacation Destinations San Juan Island Washington

Here are a few pictures sent today from our whale watching buddies, Bill and Colleen, at San Juan Safaris. Dave and I are pictured visiting with their llamas…the dark brown one in the background is Montana. We so enjoy the rare occasion when we can drive out to the ‘country’ of the Island to hang out at their farm.

There are rare occasions when we get the pleasure of reciprocating the hospitality with Bill and Colleen and hosting them in our Garden Cafe at the Harrison House in the booming metropolis of Friday Harbor – a township of only 2,000 residents and about 500 homes.

Dear Anna Maria & Dave,

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your beautiful B & B. It was such a treat getting your delicious breakfasts every morning and your location to Downtown was perfect. We had a perfect vacation with our kids and they really enjoyed it. Especially Mollie and Tucker. Even though the weather wasn’t the greatest and it snowed the day we left!! (We’ve had our fill of snow for this year) we had a very relaxing vacation on your island, it is so beautiful and peaceful. We loved your inn and will definitely be back(in the summer this time) Thanks again to your and all your staff, it was wonderful.

These are the sailor sentry bears that great guests in the Shaw Suite. The Shaw Suite is decorated as a boat so they are so appropriate. Last week’s guests were so enchanted by them that they renamed them Gaye and Carlton, their own names.
