The home was very unique and a special place. Because of the unique construction it is a difficult to clean home. Spider webs and dust on rough beams and walls. The host did add a screen to the only window that opened to help cool the home at night. The internet never functioned properly during our stay. The host were very responsive to trying to fix the problem and offerd us a free night stay next visit to compenate for the inconvinece. We loved the home and location and the host are wonderful. I hioghly recommend a visit.

Unique and quiet place on Orcas Island

Staying here was very peaceful. Loved the unique architecture of the building. It reminded me of travels in Europe. Perfect for a winter weekend away from the city.

Lovely and private, friendly greeting by two rambunctious but respectful dogs who stay outside. Nice hot tub. Outdoor grill situation needs a bit of improvement, A full-on grill would have worked better. The range is older, not quite fully operational.

We had a lovely stay at this charming and unique home! Our kids especially loved visiting with the two dogs and cat of the owners across the street. Four stars instead of five because some of the linens and the bathroom could use a little refreshing as well as the many eaves and nooks could use a good sweeping. Overall a great deal on the island and would recommend.

Perfect family getaway

The Gnome House was so much fun! Our three kids loved exploring the property, playing with the dogs and cat, and embracing the magical feelings of the house. Meg and Bob were wonderful hosts and the whole family was sad to leave. We will definitely be back!

Sweetest family stay

All of our kids were over the moon to discover the gnome house — we hadn’t told them any details of our planned stay. They loved the cozy, snuggly sleeping spots, the breakfast nook, the playset, the hot tub, the sweet and friendly dogs, the endless opportunities for epic games of Hide and Seek. Eastsound had lovely spots for ice cream and outdoor exploring, plus a phenomenal bakery co-op. The Gnome House was such a wonderful, peaceful place for all of us to connect and rest and we can’t wait to come back. .

Unique cabin on a wonderful property.

We stayed at the Gnome house for my wifes birthday. I wanted something different and the Gnome House has that in spades. The craftsmanship was truly outstanding and as a woodworker i can truly appreciate the effort that went into building it. We will be back again!

Fun cottage with Gnome theme. The grandkids were enammered.

Check in was very easy and we felt very informed. We were greeted by the owner along with Sunny, Shep, and Spanky. The grandkids enjoyed the hot tub and exploring the farm surrounding the cottage. All of us were quite comfortable. Thank you Meg and Bill!

Gorgeous retreat

What a wonderful escape on Orcas Island. The property is just as pictured, if not cuter. A short drive from the ferry though definitely follow the directions from Meg and Bob, not Google. I also really appreciated getting some dog and cat time. This is a great base for exploring the island and a nice retreat with the hot tub and views from the point/play area. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely rent again.

Cozy, relaxing

We had a wonderful stay here. The property is large and serene and we enjoyed taking walks (accompanied by the sweet dogs) in the evenings. The pets were unexpectedly one of the best parts of our stay! Each morning the dogs and cat would be waiting outside our door. I am not a dog person but these dogs are so sweet, calm, and well behaved that we all fell in love with them. The owners were so kind and helpful, providing us with firewood and tips about places to visit on the island. Would love to return!

Birthday getaway

Native Pacfic Northwesterners and had never been to Orcas Island. What a treat! Loved the house from the moment we pulled in at dusk and it was lit up and welcoming. Obvious care was taken to make us feel comfy. Great homebase for day long adventures around the island.

Absolutely Perfect!

The Gnome House was like something out of a storybook, only better. Gorgeous woodwork everywhere, so cozy and exquisite. The hot tub under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day, which we spent exploring the island, and the Connors' property. The kitchen and BBQ were just what we needed, well equipped, and the wonderful bay window alcove dining area was great. We will definitely be back to the Gnome House!

Magnificent

We’ve made it our mission to seek out unique stays. The Gnome House definitely ranks number one. It was even more warm, comfortable and whimsical than we’d anticipated. From the craftsmanship, decor, and scattered gnomes inside and out, there is a wonder to see wherever you look. Sunny and Shep, the dogs, were a delight. Meg was kind, cheerful, and helpful. Lucky us to have found this stay.

Charming Old World Feel

We loved our stay at the Gnome House for our kids’ spring break trip! Our 8 year old believes she saw a fairy in the sleeping nook before she went to bed. The kiddos were enchanted by the magic of the place. The owner’s pets were so friendly and sweet. Our 4 year old was so sad to leave the animals. You can tell much love and thought went into the design and execution of this cottage. The playground was awesome with an amazing view! Thanks to Meg and Bob for giving us a lovely vacation!

Highly recommend for a family getaway!

We recently enjoyed another wonderful stay at this charming gnome-themed cabin, and it was just as delightful as our first visit! The cabin's whimsical structure and adorable gnome decor create a truly magical atmosphere. Our children were thrilled with the small playset, and the hot tub provided a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. The cabin, while older, has a lot of character, and we appreciated the cozy, vintage feel. We did notice some older appliances and a few spiderwebs, but this did not detract from our overall experience. The charm of the place more than made up for these minor quirks. The owners are incredibly responsive and kind, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our kids absolutely adored their friendly dogs, which was a wonderful bonus. This was our second stay with these wonderful hosts, and we’ll certainly be back in the future.

As charming as it looks, but...

The Gnome house is absolutely as charming as the pictures show. It's not a gnome-like facade on a shack, it really is straight out of a fairy tale. The only hesitancy is that appliances and bathroom fixtures have not been updated since ... the early 70's(?). So be aware that the all-electric stove, older fixtures, and no dishwasher may slow you down a bit. But "slow" is likely the reason you're here.
