The home is on a nice piece of property with a large patio with a fire pit and hot tub and BBQ. The two bedroom home has one bathroom, a sun room, living room and well equipped kitchen. John, the owner is very responsive if there are issues. That’s a ping pong table and washer dryer. It’s about 12 minutes from the ferry.

Amazing Experience

This is a beautiful cottage stocked with every amenity you might need. Plenty of extra linens, paper products, basic toiletries, etc that are not always provided but that make vacation so much more stress free. John made the entire process, from check-in throughout our entire stay, so seamless, and he made it clear that he was available day or night for any issues that might arise. Definitely one of our best rental experiences ever! If we return to Orcas Island, we will definitely be returning to this cottage!!

Orcas getaway

We had a great stay at the cabin and especially liked the ping pong table and hot tub! Great location -- close to the ferry and town. John was a gracious host who provided clear instructions on how to get to the property (and also to navigate the ferry, which was particularly helpful!) and made himself available for any questions we might have had.

Rustic Retreat with all the Amenities

It's not a fancy place, but it has everything you might need for a lovely stay on Orcas. Vibrant gardens full of hummingbirds, your choice of patios depending on the time of day, great grill, and a resident pair of peacocks who visit every evening. How many places have you stayed with a house rule that says "do not feed the peacocks"? Lovely escape.

The location of the cabin is great! It didn’t take us long to get to the popular are of the downtown area, and some of the sightseeing areas. There’s a nice view of the water from the sunroom and the front side patio of the cabin. We loved the Jacuzzi and the outdoor sitting area. Overall we had a nice stay, but there were some things in the cabin that prevented us from having a great stay. Some small things that can be easily fixed! There was a fair amount of dog hair in the sunroom, the garage where the ping-pong table is located, and unfortunately in the bed of the larger bedroom. The air conditioning, we think it gets overwhelmed easily and just stops working until it has a chance to recover. The cabin can be quite warm, especially in the bedrooms. We couldn’t really open the windows due to no screens. We couldn’t enjoy the garage where the ping-pong table is located due to the overwhelming smell. We knew the cabin would be a bit dated, (although appears well maintained), so we attributed the smell to the heat and that fact. However, when we went to wash our towels, we discovered a fair amount (large chunks) of mold in the front load style washer. Then the smell made sense. The towels also have a leftover smell from the washer, not strong but present. If those things can be addressed and fixed, we would totally come back! When we checked in they were super helpful, and gave us some ideas of what to do and let us know that if we needed anything to give them a call.

My adult kids and I had a wonderful time at this well cared for, thoughtfully appointed property. We enjoyed this house, the hot tub, the views, the stars, as well as the comfort of a home that has everything we wanted. John was a great host. This is a favorite that we’ll return to.

Great vibe, view and amenities

We all loved our time and would come back if we get to Orcas Island. The house is spacious, super clean, comfortable and set up for hang time. We enjoyed our time in the hot tub; sitting in the various outdoor seating spots gazing at the view: playing ping pong; observing the peacocks; and sleeping peacefully. The place is away from the road and peaceful. There is enough room in the house for the three of us to get our own space and also cozy for time together. We enjoyed our stay so much.

Charming, A++ hot tub!

We arrived during a storm in the week during Christmas and NYE. There were some bumps at arrival due to extreme unusual cold — the owners were on sight right away to help us! It’s a very charming comfortable house, a big draw for us was the hot tub and it did not disappoint — steamy hot, right outside the door and tucked into a stone wall / foliage area, it felt like a hot spring. My only tiny minuses were …. Beds were kind of uncomfortable - husband and I both sore backs! (Teens slept great, naturally). And as a foodie - kitchen was stocked but basic only. Wifi spotty could have been weather?? Data worked well
