My husband and I stayed at the Kirk House for several days. The location was great...four to five blocks away from the ferry landing at Friday Harbor. We chose not to rent a car and were still able to do all the things we wanted. Our kayak company picked us up in Friday Harbor and we were able to rent bikes a few blocks away from the hotel. Many great restaurants were within walking distance as well as a grocery store for snacks and lunch. Debbie made great, varied breakfasts each day including granola with berries, quiche, and peach pancakes. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of space to relax in. There is a fridge for guest use and tea is always available. Debbie gave us great advice about things to do around the island. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

In my opinion, this is the best B&B to stay in while visiting Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands! The historical, charming home is maintained beautifully. The home is extremely clean, immaculate and comfortable. It was such a treat to admire the architecture of the home and the beauty of the gardens. Even the pansies that re-seeded themselves and grew up through the front entrance walkway gave visitors a warm welcome feeling. I personally enjoyed the unique birdbaths and tables made of glass vases. The Kirk House is within easy walking distance from Friday Harbor.

Debbie and Allen were gracious and kind hosts. They were helpful when asked for restaurant recommendations and directions, but yet non-intrusive and allowed guests to be alone. Who could ask for better hosts? Debbie's enthusiasm for the love of her home and the comfortable feeling she gave guests, made us feel as if she was a long-time friend. Both Debbie and Allen were quick to help when asked. They live in the cottage next door but are easily reached if needed.

The breakfasts were excellent and filling. We never needed to eat lunch and had a mid-afternoon snack until dinner. The yogurt parfait and entrees were presented beautifully each morning - and with a smile and kind word. Coffee was also very, very good. It was ready for the early riser and it always plentiful. We enjoyed having a cup on the front porch before breakfast each morning. The front entrance porch is actually on the side of the house and delightful for reading the morning paper. The large wrap around porch is very relaxing for reading or enjoying a glass of wine.

The rooms were very nicely decorated and each had an outside entrance. The bed was very comfortable and shower in wonderful working condition. An earlier post mentioned thin walls - but we did not notice this. In fact, we felt as if we were the only ones in the house... it was that quiet. There is a refrigerator for guest use in the common livingroom. Afternoon snacks were plentiful - and there was the large jar of candies and chocolates available all the time.

This was the best B&B experience we have ever had and we would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful charming home and wonderful hosts to anyone. Keep up the good work Debbie and Allen.

Delightful Craftsman style home with beautifully landscaped grounds that is charming, welcoming and comfortable. Allen and Debbie are great hosts and Debbie's breakfasts are delicious!

We spent three nights at the Kirk House in the Veranda Room in late July. It is a beautful, historic arts & crafts home. They even have a ton of documentation on the history of the house in each room, which is interesting. Allen & Debbie were most gracious and breakfast was wonderful. The started each breakfast with a fruit and yogurt parfait, with their own homemade granola. After that, there was a delicious hot entree. A large jug of fresh juice was also on the table with unlimited coffee. The room was nicely sized with a huge shower in the bath. There was a door that opened onto the wrap around porch with loads of seating. They even furnish a refrigerator in the lobby area, if you wanted to keep wine or something else cold. It was great - very convenient to town. We had a great stay.
