Property is as advertised and all around great. We had a full house and everyone enjoyed the stay. The property is well equipped to be a home away from home. Host was great, very responsive, and very accommodating. Great space for a family getaway or time away with friends. Highly recommend. Only complaint is that we didn’t get to see the fox that lives on or near the grounds.

Lovely home for 3 families with 3 kids. 4 master bedrooms with 4 ensuite bathrooms. Hosts were gracious and available. Lots to do on property for kids and 12 minute drive from Friday Harbor. Kitchen well equipped to create big meals for 9. Clean and no googaw clutter. Lovely day whale watching and another kayaking. Sculpture garden fun and great whale museum. Lots to explore with car. Ferry unreliable!! but beautiful ride from Anacortez to Friday Harbor. No kidding about getting to the ferry an hour ahead of time, with or without reservation. Need car on the island.

Absolutley beautiful property! We loved that all the bedroom suites were essentially the same, had very comfortable beds, and each had their own soaking tub (don't bother packing bath salts as you can't use them without messing up the tubs). We REALLY appreciated having some of the essentialls and food already there! We had a lot of fun playing ping pong outside, laying in the hammocks, and exploring through the trees. Truly, truly we had the best time there. We would absolutely stay there again!

We loved having our family reunion at Fox Hollow! Each set of adults had their own bedroom and bathroom, and the kids all stayed in one room together. The lawn games and large grassy area were a perfect escape to the quiet and idyllic property.

Spacious Comfort in 16-Acre Property
We were a group of six seniors, all friends of long-standing who have been gathering once a year for over 10 years. All four bedrooms were extremely comfortable, with individual ensuite bathrooms. We did not take advantage of the Japanese soaking tubs in each bathroom due to senior mobility restrictions. However, we did take advantage of the walking trails on the property as well as a quite well-stocked kitchen. My only suggestion might be a supply of fabric napkins for the dining area. Candice, our host, was very responsive and readily available to answer any of our questions. The property provided us all a very memorable stay!

Beautiful home
The home was perfect for our family vacation. We loved the outdoor games available for us to enjoy. The kitchen and living area were wonderful. Lots of privacy between the bedrooms. Private baths for each room. Unfortunately, none of us slept well as the beds were incredibly hard! We all slept just a few hours each night. One king bed, although hard, sloped to the middle. The days were wonderful, but the nights were long and uncomfortable. Definitely could use some thick memory foam mattress toppers.

Wonderful stay at Frog Hollow on San Juan Island
The property and house were amazing. We were in town for a wedding and it was nice to have such a large house to spend time with family. The property and rooms were fantastic. Our children loved all the games in the backyard. Only complaint was the beds were pretty hard and some creakiness when moving in the bed. Overall the place was ideal for our trip.

Great annual sibling reunion home
The property is just as advertised on Vbro. It has four large bedrooms which worked perfectly for our four couples. The property managers live next door and welcomed us. They provided fresh flowers in the entry and living room, and stocked the fridge and pantry with several items for us to enjoy! There are lots of games inside and outside which we enjoyed as well. San Juan Island isn't huge. We were 11 minutes outside of Friday Harbor with easy access to all parts of the island. We had a great time and highly recommend the property!

Wedding and Family get together
Family members stayed with us at this property and we really enjoyed our stay here. The 4 bedrooms gave great privacy to each of the family groups - each with its own bathroom. The common area including living room and kitchen was spacious enough for all. The kitchen was well equipped and we went through the coffee pretty quick but the onsite manager was easily accessible for coffee refills and to take care of our trash. We were lucky enough to have some very nice warm sunny weather to enjoy sitting out on the back patio and play the lawn games. Cornhole in particular was popular. My only complaint is that we did not have enough time to try out the Japanese soaking tubs! All in all this was a perfect place for family members to stay to attend my daughter's wedding.

Not as private as advertised
The home is absolutely gorgeous. Set up like a spa. Lots of activities to do on site. But there is a family that lives 50 feet from the front door. Not 16 acres of privacy at all. Grandma was coming out of the shower and there was a child playing basketball right outside her room window. Kids staring at us through the window while we are getting in our cars. I use VRBO because of the advertisement saying no owners on site. Very disappointed about that. Everything else was perfect.

Fabulous location - and property! Plus extra bonuses!
House was beautifully kept, and set up (4 suites plus common areas) to encourage both privacy and gathering as a group. Kitchen was well stocked and up to date (we loved the cookware) - we cooked several meals for our party of 7. Best of all was the property itself - having 16 acres of woods to roam in was amazing, and we loved all of the yard games. We had more than one croquet tournament, and had a fire every night. Loved watching the deer that visited the property in the morning and evenings, and the rabbits were simply adorable! Kate was fabulous in answering all of our questions! Would definitely return!
