House was very clean and comfortable, and a nice quiet location. We appreciated the good communication with the hosts and the hot tub was a bonus. Plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen.
What stood out most was how well-equipped the kitchen was; we were very comfortable cooking at the house.

It was a beautiful home. We had a peaceful stay! Everything was well kept and their instructors were clear and easy to follow. Bed was very cozy! Such a nice view from the hot tub.

This home is a literal dream come true and the host was great. The home is perfection. Impeccably clean, everything in working order and in excellent condition. There are a few homes next door but if you don't like that, go get a 2000/night rental. Only
Once we turned off the highway onto the packed dirt road leading to the home we knew we had made the right choice! The home was perfectly sized for a family of two children and two adults. The kitchen was easy for two people to work together in and the big couch provided plenty of opportunity for relaxing between dips in the hot tub. The hot tub was absolutely the highlight of the trip. With a beautiful view and located only steps from the warm house.

Thank you so much, Scott! We’re thrilled to hear you knew you’d found the right place the moment you arrived. It’s great to know the home worked well for your family and that the kitchen, cozy living space, and hot tub all played a part in a relaxing stay. We’re especially glad the hot tub and view were a highlight. We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back on Orcas Island!
Couldn’t say enough great things about this place! Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, great shower and amenities and a gorgeous water view. Highly recommend, may make it an annual trip!
It was lovely to stay in this home. It had a nice view and deck to sit out on. It was very peaceful and nicely decorated. The kitchen was wonderful for cooking. When out on dog walks I often saw deer in the woods, and it was an easy walk to the Doe Bay Resort, where I grabbed dinner one evening. All around a great stay.
The property is as described, and then some. A beautiful, quiet, clean, and very well stocked vacation home. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather to go along with this quaint little cabin home.
Thank you!!

Thank you for taking a moment to review your stay at the Cottage Jon! We're so happy the weather was nice and complimented your visit to Orcas. Thanks for being a wonderful guest, we look forward to hosting you again!
Lovely place, very quiet and serene. The olive oil, salt, pepper, coffee seem like you can count on them being nicely stocked which is nice. The shower and toiletries were great. My tips for a good stay would be to bring a robe as there aren’t window treatments for the walk from the larger bedroom to a bathroom and be advised there are stairs to get to the various rooms if that is an issue for you. There isn’t an ice maker. This part of Orcas is very seasonal so make sure the things you want to do are open.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for staying with us! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the well-stocked kitchen essentials, and the shower/toiletry setup.
We also appreciate you sharing helpful tips for future guests. The listing does note the bedroom/bathroom layout and the stairs between levels, but your insights are always valuable. Regarding the ice maker, while the home doesn’t have one, we do provide plenty of ice trays and make sure they’re filled prior to each guest’s stay.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We’d love to host you on Orcas again in the future!
Our Doe Bay stay was wonderful especially with the location of the house. Close to Doe Bay resort and their fabulous restaurant, this house was cozy without being tight, had lovely dark skies, and was in a very quiet location. Not interested in eating out? The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, silverware and knives.
We spent a wonderful week at this rental and can’t say enough great things! The location is beautiful, the house is so well appointed, and the owner was really communicative and helpful. We especially loved the relaxing vibe (great decor!) and the well stocked kitchen. It was great to have the Roku TV, too. This was the perfect home base for us and our pup for a week of exploring beautiful Orcas. We loved it so much, we asked to add on a night to our stay! Highly recommend this property - you won’t be disappointed!
We stayed at the Cottage at Doe Bay for about a week in late September and had such an amazing time. It was so peaceful and quiet. My husband and I enjoy to cook and thought the kitchen was well stocked. The bed was also comfy.
The cottage is within walking distance to Doe Bay Resort and that was also an amazing little spot. It has a nice farm to table cafe and we had dinner and happy hour while we were there. They do have limited days and hours. But I think that’s just island time.
Would definitely come back!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a peaceful and relaxing week at the Cottage at Doe Bay. It’s great to know the well-stocked kitchen and comfortable bed made your stay even better, especially since you enjoy cooking.
We agree—being able to walk over to Doe Bay Resort is such a bonus, and their café is a special spot. The limited hours definitely come with island life, but we’re glad you were still able to enjoy dinner and happy hour there.
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back anytime!
This quiet home had beautiful views of the puget sound from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. One evening we went on a walk and we saw dolphins and otters swimming around, just walking on the cul de sac. The house was very well stocked. And I'm not just talking the kitchen, but the whole house. Books, board games, first aid kit, multiple flashlights - even a set of binoculars!! Which we totally used hoping to see whales (sadly, not this trip). The location is a bit far from town, but the restaurants nearby were great and it wasn't far from Moran state park. I would recommend staying here for a quiet weekend away.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the beautiful water views, and the wildlife right in the neighborhood—dolphins and otters are such a treat to see.
It’s great to know the home’s amenities made your stay comfortable and fun. We put a lot of thought into stocking the house—from kitchen essentials to books, games, flashlights, and the binoculars—so we’re glad you were able to enjoy them (and hopefully spot whales next time!).
While the home is a bit outside of town, we’re happy the nearby restaurants and easy access to Moran State Park worked well for your trip.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another quiet Orcas getaway!
The house is very comfortable with a good view of the sound except keep in mind that there is a house in front but to left which can be seen in the pictures on the website. There is a great view looking to the right from the deck and living room and from the loft. The kitchen is nicely equipped with the items that you need to cook with and spacious. The bathroom for the guest who sleep in the king bed in the loft is down a small flight of stairs which I misunderstood when reading the description of the house but it wasn’t a problem. The bedroom with the bunk beds has a nice bathroom adjacent to this room. The place was easy to find - would suggest arriving initially in the daytime. There were neighbors close by but they were very quiet. The island is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay .

About the host
Hosted by Alainah Betts
I'm a longtime Orcas Island local who loves the rhythm of island life — the quiet mornings, the ferry boats passing by, and the endless places to explore. When I’m not working with guests or tending to our properties, you can usually find me out on the water in my C-Dory, exploring the islands with my family, or hiking the trails around Moran State Park.
Why they chose this property
I love the Doe Bay area because it captures everything that makes Orcas Island special. It’s peaceful, scenic, and full of that quiet island magic you don’t find anywhere else. Here, mornings start with incredible water views, fresh ocean air, and the sound of wildlife moving through the trees. The area feels beautifully remote, yet you’re still close to some of the island’s best experiences—like the soaking tubs and café at Doe Bay Resort, the trails and lakes of Moran State Park, and the laid-back charm of the Olga community.
There’s a sense of calm and connection in Doe Bay that makes it easy to slow down, reset, and enjoy the simple moments. Whether it’s watching the sun rise over the water, spotting eagles overhead, or exploring the coastline, this part of the island always feels restorative. It’s a place I genuinely love, and I’m thrilled to share it with guests.
