The picturesque web site is hardly what greets one when arriving at Snug Harbor. We rented a "cabin" on the water for 2 nights at $219/night. What we found was a small, single wide mobile home (pocket doors, miniature spaces etc..) dressed up like a cabin right next to the noisy gravel parking lot. The small space had a cute loft for my 3 children to sleep in (it's only saving grace). We soon started noticing ants crawling everywhere inside the "cabin". It wasn't until the 2nd day that I noticed the small "do not drink the water" sign posted by the kitchen sink. By that time we had all drunken the water. One week later, we all came down with terrible symptoms of itching, chills etc. My doctor said that we had contracted parasites most likely from the water on our trip to the Snug Harbor Resort (because of the timeline). We are still dealing with symptoms and I will never go back and hope that everyone take my warning as a travelor and mom. Totally not worth the money or trouble!

If you are looking for a vacation spot to slow down & get away from it all this is it! Beautiful scenery, friendly staff! I was glad we had taken our own groceries. Purchase them on the main land, because the local store is pretty expensive. Don't forget to gas up too. Lots of photo ops. We saw a harbor seal and a bald eagle during our visit. Easy to find, convenient to all the tourist places and to Roche Harbor & Friday Harbor. Visited with several people who have been repeatedly staying at Snug Harbor for years. When I made reservations it was the cheapest place I found to stay on the island. We loved it except the cabin was small for us (2 adults & 2 kids), however they did tell me it was for 2 people when I made the reservations, but it was all I could find at the time. We would stay there again if we could get a larger cabin.

We managed to find some last minute accomodations at the Snug Harbor resort over the July long weekend for a daily rate of over $200 a night, but were not too impressed with the quality of the accomodations. We stayed at a 2 bedroom kitchen suite which was very small and the bedrooms looked like they were built after putting the beds in them as there was no place to move around in the bedrooms. The beds themselves were alright. The property looked pretty old as well.

On the positive side, the front desk staff were very friendly and the cabins were facing the marina with picnic benches just outside the cabins which were very convenient. The place was also very close to whale-watching and kayaking tours at the marina.

Overall the resort is in a good location, but I would have expected a lot more comfortable stay for the price we paid.
