About this property

Custom Crafted Unique Home~ FABULOUS group lodging ~ 1.3 miles from Harbor

Juniper Lane Guest House is a hip and unique Guest House nestled on the edge of Friday Harbor overlooking Beaverton Valley. It has a rural feel yet is still close to town. Juniper Lane is a custom-crafted bold mosaic of exotic woods, tile, art, and color. The property boasts a rural feel, yet is just on the edge of town. We take great pride in having excellent quality beds all purchased since 2015, an impeccably clean rental upon your arrival, and really nice bedding that is constantly rotated. We have chilled martini glasses, wine glasses, and Oyster shuckers waiting for you to experience a true Northwest and San Juan delight! There really is magic in the details of this property. Many architects and wood lovers alike have enjoyed the craftsmanship and rare woods used in the interior finish of the house. The property has an additional cabin rental if your group expands. The owners live on site in an adjacent house and are available should you need anything but give you space to enjoy the property as your own.

Our group had a fabulous time at Juniper Lane Guest House. We visited San Juan Island for my sister’s bachelorette trip and we all agreed that we stayed at the perfect place for this trip. Not only is the home unique and beautiful, Juniper is a spectacular host and made sure we had everything we needed. (Bonus points for graciously taking a group photo of us!)One of our favorite parts about the stay was sitting in the backyard and taking in the stunning views - we loved watching the sheep run by and “baa!” in the morning and we even got to see two bald eagles flying & land in the giant tree in the backyard.Truly an incredible experience and stay - I can’t wait to come back!

Ouch! Can't help but feel a sting from a 3 out of 5 star rating....I rated you 5 out of 5 because you were nice guys, but if I were to be honest, it was extremely stressful worrying about upsetting the neighbors with the loud partying, and the disappointment of the way the house and kitchen were left, permeant grease stains down the steps etc....unfortunately it doesn't show us where we have room to improve, just a mediocre rating. Rest assured, you found the most laid back accommodations for your party week!

Smooth check-in, wonderful property. 4 large parking spots for big vehicles. The property itself has an "old" ranch style and decor with lots of thoughtful modern twists. The backyard might be the best part, ton's of room for a big group to spread out and peaceful, beautiful views of the farmland behind the property. The host was incredible, accommodating and made sure we had whatever we needed. Would definitely come back to San Juan and stay here again.

Amazing, Tranquil, Beautiful Juniper Inn

The pictures do not even begin to depict just how beautiful and tranquil this property is. My family (10 of us) spent the most amazing week at the Juniper Inn. The Inn is impeccably clean. The comfort is a level above. You have all the amenities you could ever want or need, and Juniper is the most gracious accommodating host. Looking forward to returning!!

The Dream Wedding

My sister and brother and their adult children, along with my husband and I stayed in the house together for our sons wedding that took place at Saltwater Farms, just a mile from the house. This house exceeded our expectations and is so fun and so convenient to everything. I wish we had been able to chill in the back, but we were on the go with wedding stuff daily. I will say that we could hear the sheep in the morning so sweetly across the pasture, and the hop to the Salty Fox coffee every morning was a breeze. The owner greeted us right away when we arrived. The rooms are so lovely, everything was perfect. I wish I had a reason to have that many people travel with me again - I'd always stay there!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are truly blessed to have guests like you all. When we opened our lodging establishment in 2004, we wanted to create a special place on the island for people to make great memories and we are so happy we did for you and your family, Susan!

Could be my new favorite...

This property is amazing with its pastoral setting, great decor, and convenience to so many things. Juniper is a great host - very accommodating and a great communicator. We enjoyed the fire pit most nights and loved everything about our stay. It was perfect for our group of eight.

Best vacation ever!

We just loved the property and house! It was a superior place to stay for our 6 woman group but also would be equally excellent for multiple families. Every detail was taken into consideration to make our stay very comfortable. Will be coming back in the summer!

Peaceful haven

This was one of very few choices on the island that could house our large family for an island wedding. What a gem! Juniper was accommodating and flexible as our plans were up in the air with the pandemic. She communicated clearly and consistently and was happy to answer all our questions. The property was beautiful, and such a welcomed respite from the hustle and bustle of the wedding festivities. I loved having coffee in the backyard every morning watching the sheep and horses graze. Idyllic!

Wonderful charming place close from downtown Friday Harbor

We were 7 adults and 8 kids for a great week end in May. We came for the half-marathon and we had a great time staying here. Rooms are all different and nicely decorated. The patio outside was the perfect place for us to relax after the race!

About the host

Hosted by Juniper Maas Mercer

Host profile image
Juniper was born and raised on San Juan Island and has family that dates back 5 generations. Her great grand parents were The Settle's family that were the lighthouse keepers at lime kiln point state park. Her Grandmother was raised in the park and had many amazing stories of life growing up on San Juan. Her husband Sean moved here as a child in the early 70's. He left after high school and eventually moved back for a rural lifestyle after years of the NYC rat race! Sean's father is South African and spent his career as a captain at sea, logging more hours of his life on the water than land (so far anyway). His mother resides on San Juan in a little house by the sea, tending her gardens, and being a Nana extraordinaire. Sean is a designer and builder, passionate soul surfer, artist, husband, and loving father to our 3 1/2 son, Salvador. Juniper has worked in various forms of the tourism industry since she was 11 years old. From selling ice on the docks at for .25 cents mark up per bag, bussing tables at restaurants, dispatching taxis, waitressing, port docks, etc.! Juniper spent her 20's working for 9 or 10 months a year and traveling the world for the remaining months until building and opening the guest house in 2004. Her parents are on the island and reside in the home they built in the 80's. Her Dad has the Island's Sawmill that specializes in windfall, beachcomb, and selective harvest timber, and her step-mother was an incredible seamstress for many years, she made all of the curtains in the guest house (there are a lot)!

Why they chose this property

Born here, have traveled all over the world and there is no place we'd rather call home!

What makes this property unique

Impeccably clean, top notch beds, close to town, gorgeous sunsets, departure from the norm, no pre-fab manufactured anything, all hardwood and tile throughout, easy home base for exploring The San Juan's! Innkeepers live on property and are available with a wealth of knowledge for anything and everything San Juan. Summer 2018 will be our 15th summer hosting guests from all over the world!
