The Lakedale Resort is not your grandfather's campground. In addition to a lakefront location with picnic spots, this 82-acre property offers everything from an airstream trailer to canvas cabins and canvas cottages that can accommodate larger groups. The lodge rooms definitely have the most conveniences -- bathrooms with flat-screen TVs and patios -- but they are also the least outdoorsy. The Canvas Cabins are no-frills -- but in a good way -- sporting charming rustic decor and comfy beds. The hotel room-style Canvas Cottages, added in 2016 for summer stays, include an extra daybed and en-suite bathrooms with showers and running water, and larger accommodations can sleep up to four. The property is best suited for visitors looking for an upscale camping experience, although poor cell phone reception may be a nuisance for some.

The 15-room Bird Rock Hotel, housed in a historic building, is a quaint, bare-bones bed & breakfast. The small, earth-toned rooms are cozy (low lighting gives them a Zen-like vibe), and there's a lovely deck for enjoying some fresh sea air. The hotel's central location, though, is definitely the highlight -- just a block from the ferry landing, and within walking distance to plenty of shopping and dining in downtown Friday Harbor. The hotel lacks on-site amenities like parking, a restaurant, fitness center, and pool, but breakfast is free and guests have access to the sister property's parking lot, fitness center, and pool, less than three blocks away. Those traveling on a tight budget can get a lot of bang for their buck by staying in a simple room, but these rooms have communal bathrooms down the hall.

Located on a bluff overlooking the marina in the heart of downtown, the 24-room, upper-middle-range Friday Harbor House is a beautiful, intimate inn catering to couples. Rooms are spacious and cozy, featuring gas fireplaces, big windows offering sweeping views (in most), two-person jetted tubs, and an array of excellent amenities, including pour-over carafes with fresh daily ground coffee, L’Occitane toiletries, and lavender pillow sprays. The restaurant is popular among locals and visitors alike, and it has a beautiful deck and lawn with panoramic vistas and fire pits. Rates include continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking, but are some of the highest in town. Couples on a tighter budget may want to consider the Earthbox Inn & Spa, a value property located just a few blocks away and offering a wider range of on-site amenities.

The 67-room luxury Hotel Bellevue is set on nine secluded acres with trees and gardens in Bellevue. It's a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bellevue and Seattle, and the location offers ready access to the I-405 freeway.

Guests enjoy free use of two competition-quality indoor lap pools, tennis and basketball courts, a top-notch fitness center, full-service spa, and yoga and fitness classes, and the hotel should suit fitness fanatics and recreation lovers, though there are added costs for some of the services and facilities.
