Sweet hidden cabin

Overall this property fit our needs for a couple nights. It had basic necessities in a private woodsy location. Not as clean as we would prefer, but our family was happy for beds, a bathroom, and kitchen amenities on Orcas!

Lovely private cabin, fairly close to many things to do. The refrigerator is small and noisy and full of frost.

The view from outside was really nice, but the whole cabin smelled like old dog piss, especially in the bedroom.

We had such an amazing stay.

Last weekend I stayed at the Racoon Retreat with my girlfriend and it was amazing. The house was very clean and the surroundings were quiet and beautiful. We were worried by some bad reviews on the site but that was not in our experience. I would recommend this to couples and couples with children who can sleep on the attic.

Beautiful location, but the smell is unacceptable

Such a beautiful location. Small, but perfect for my husband and I. The only problem is the smell is unacceptable. My husband isn’t a plumber, but has done some of our own dyi and thinks it’s a ventilation problem with the pipes. This is unsafe to breathe. I’m glad we didn’t stay any longer than a few days and we were gone a lot, or I count not have handled the smell. Something needs to be done before anyone else stays here.

quiet, simple, really pretty, plus there’s Enya

Easy to get to, easy to access, and more than spacious enough for two humans and a dog. It was clean, well-stocked, and there was an Enya CD that added to the magic. There was an odd smell (dead animal somewhere?) but Enya made even that better.

Cozy Cabin

My sisters and I enjoyed our stay at your Raccoon Retreat. It is in a nice spot, easily accessible to Eastsound, Olga, Mt. Constitution, and surrounding areas. One downside is that the beds in the loft were quite uncomfortable, so we ended up sharing the master bed, and with one sister sleeping on the couch downstairs. Overall, we had a lovely time.

Great for families!

We loved Raccoon Retreat! Perfect for our family of 4 with the kiddos (both 5 years old) having a blast in the loft area. That area would definitely be a bit small (height wise) to comfortably navigate by anyone over 5 foot, but was wonderful for the boys to have their own space. Management was very responsive to the only issue we had.

Well-appointed, convenient and cute.

Well-appointed and clean except for the urine odor in the master bedroom. It’s an adorable little cabin, but too bad about the smell. It wasn’t constant, but when you walk past the entrance to the ledge and also when passing through the hall. Linens, dishes, bathroom all clean. Convenient location.

Great Spot/Bad Beds

Great location, clean and warm. Had everything you need for a perfect tiny home/cabin stay on the island. The only complaint here is that there are several bed options and they are all bad. Worn out old mattresses that only provide a rough night sleep and some morning back pain. Update the beds and this place would be a perfect spot.
