Friday Harbor, WA Hotels – Tucker House

Monday, April 13th, 2009

We have certainly been busy this summer – putting the finishing touches on our projects as the season is approaching. We painted Evening Star’s bath a lovely warm strawberry color.

Four Winds got a new comforter and some fun new pillows!


This is the living room in Four Winds. While we were taking pictures we gave this one a try. While the sunshine is fabulous it plays havoc with the exposure.


Log Cabin – one of our big winter projects. We painted and put in a new floor. The steps lead to a private fenced deck that is shaded by a giant redwood tree.


The kitchen in log got a new granite countertop. We took down the old wallpaper and gave the walls a soft faux finish.


Dove in the Window got new bedding.

And Castle Wall’s bathroom got a fresh coat of new paint. A historic Jamestown blue.

Here are a few more pictures of our winter renovation projects. This is one of the bedrooms in Victoria’s Flower Garden. It is a two bedroom – two bath suite.

Here is the living room in Victoria’s Flower Garden. There is a wood burning stove and the couch is a sleeper sofa. The Suite can sleep up to 6.

This is the new gas fireplace just installed in the Goose in the Pond Cottage.


This is one of our guest rooms – Patience Corner. It is located in the upper Tucker House and has a great bath with a large 2 person jacuzzi tub and shower.

Jennie’s Cottage has been another one of our winter projects. We just finished a major renovation with new floors, bed and color scheme. It is a stand alone cottage right off the main deck.

It is a cozy studio with a queen bed, mini kitchen and private bath with a tub. There is also a large walk in closet. It is perfect for a couple or a a single traveler.

The kitchen has a 2 burner stove top, microwave and small refrigerator. There is also a guest barbecue on the main deck outside the cottage’s front door. The table and chair inside the suite can be used for enjoying a meal or playing a round of cards. Many guests use the main deck as an extension of the cottage’s living area.

The bathroom in the same earthtone color scheme has a vanity with single bowl sink and tub/shower combination.

Shay has been on a photo tear. Here are some new ones of Patience Corner in the Upper Tucker House.

This guest room is really popular because of the heart-shaped jacuzzi tub.

These are new pics from Evening Star.


Evening Star is down the hall from Castle Wall.

It too has a gas fire place and private balcony. Evening Star also has a king bed.


This 2 person jacuzzi tub is very inviting after a day full of adventure around the Island.

We wanted to share some of the new pictures from the renovations that we have been doing. This is Castle Wall in the Upper Tucker House.

It now has a king bed and fire place in addition to new fir floors. There is a private balcony that has views of the property and the Town of Friday Harbor in the background.

Many of our guests enjoy an end of day bubble bath with our specially crafted private label bubble bath.

Another belated photo from our renovations. This is one of the bedrooms in Victoria’s Flower Garden in the original 1898 Tucker House. This bed, a recent addition to the suite, is a period piece appropriate to the house. We tried to strike a balance between functionality, modern day comfort and historical accuracy. The suite has lots of windows and high seasons and a lovely sun room off the kitchen overlooking a beautiful specimen weeping willow.

We have been a bit remiss in getting the new pictures up of some of our renovations. Thank you to our new innkeeper, Shay, who has been running around snapping pictures so that we can share. This is the new kitchen in Victoria’s Flower Garden at the lower Tucker House. It is a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite with living room, kitchen and sun room. Here is a photo of the kitchen. This house has lots of stories as to what was where. From what we have learned, there was evidence of three different kitchens. The original kitchen is now our guest laundry – still with the original cabinets. Our new kitchen is on the site where another kitchen was.

We have just finished a renovation of our Log Cabin Cottage. It has been a 2 year project and we are so pleased with the results. From what we have learned from some of our guests who knew the Tucker’s, the Log Cabin was at one point Grandpa’s work shop. We wanted to keep the feel of the old but introduce some modern rustic elegance. Here is a photo of the main room.
