The Tucker House is actually a couple of houses perched on a hill overlooking Friday Harbor. Our family just stayed there - two adults, and a 13 and a 10 year old - two weekends in a row. We are on the island for work and we had meant to splurge only for the first weekend and to camp the second weekend, but it was so lovely we couldn't help ourselves and came back again right away.
We have now stayed in two different rooms at the B&B. They were really different, but we really enjoyed both, for different reasons. The first weekend we stayed in the 4 Winds, an elegant suite, light and airy, with vaulted ceilings, that is sort of perched on the top floor of the house at the top of the hill. It has a jacuzzi which was really nice after a cold day out in the rain.
The little touches are also extremely pleasant - cookies brought to you in the late afternoon, one of those gas-fired stoves that heat the room and are beautiful to look at, a video and dvd library. But the very best thing were the breakfasts.
We've now had amazing lemon ricotta pancakes, crepes, omelettes, always a fresh fruit cup, homemade granola (I liked it and I don't even like granola) and dessert(!) after breakfast. Once we had almond cake with berry sauce and whipped cream another time we had tiramisu and another time key lime pie. There's coffee of course and tea and juice. It was really just super.
The second time we stayed in the Middleton Suite, which was more casual and actually worked really well for us as a family because there was a kitchen in it and so we could have dinner there and also it made it possible to have breakfast served in the room. Relaxing!
Another nice thing for us, though it doesn't say so on their website, they have wifi. It's also just on the edge of the little downtown and it was nice to be able to explore the shops and poke around without having to get into the car.
