About this property

Sea Forever Guest House.Stunning Views of Sea & Mountains. Pet Friendly.Quiet.

Come rest and rejuvenate your soul in this cozy studio cottage, called SEA FOREVER GUEST HOUSE, tucked high up into the side of Buck Mountain. Breathe in the sparkling views of the Salish Sea, home of whales and other marine and bird life, from your own glider bench. On clear days, the snow topped Canadian and US Cascades, featuring Mt. Baker as the special guest star, will take your breath away. On summer nights, relax around a crackling fire in the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a glass of wine and a good book on a sunny day, soothed by the gentle sounds of the nearby brook, water fall and birds. On winter nights, warm your toes near the living room wood stove. Your host, whose home is nestled nearby but buffered from sight by dwarf pines, rhodies and roses, can answer your questions. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with stove, full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee grinder and maker, toaster oven, toaster and a selection of local herbal teas and coffee. The luxurious king bed with pillow top is appointed with a goose down comforter and ultra soft sheets while the bath offers thick, fluffy towels. Soak in the silence in this ultra quiet, forested setting, your only visitors the deer and a mated pair of eagles! Free wireless WiFi keeps you in touch with the outside world should this be your desire. Charming Eastsound, with many delightful restaurant choices and shops, is only a 10 minute drive, as are hiking trails and Moran State Park. Watch the sunrise over the mountains and the sailboats below right from the cozy comfort of your bed. Very dog friendly, but please know dogs may not be left in the cottage unsupervised.

The Sea Forever guest house was very comfortable, with plenty of space for my wife and me and our dog. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The kitchen was well equipped, and we ate all of our meals there. Eastsound was pretty crowded at lunch and dinner, but we enjoyed take-out dinners on two nights. On our previous visit to Orcas Island, we stayed on Rosario Road and spent most of our time in Moran State Park. This time, we saw more of Orcas, including the Turtleback Mountain Preserve on the western part of the island. The road had very little traffic and was good for walking. We enjoyed the wonderful view from the patio, and our dog spent plenty of time watching birds hop around the gardens. She also loved the dog park.In all, we very much enjoyed a relaxing three days.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Bannerman

Host profile image
Living on Orcas is a 50-year-ago dream-come-true for me. In 1964, I landed in Mt. Vernon, a freshman at Mt. Vernon High School after a young life of profound difficulties and challenges. During those high school years, I would visit the San Juans often, and remember in particular a high school graduation bike trip to Orcas. Throughout my life travels, I have thought often about those sweet days on Orcas and wondered if I might live here one day. I've worked hard and dreamed sweet. . . and now, finally, here I am. And I want to share it with you. I've taught high school English for 30 years and now have a private practice in counseling. I adore helping others, caring for the earth, and celebrating the beauty of this island and this home. Life is so full of beauty if we are willing to set aside the hustle and bustle of surviving and live just in the moment. Come here to do just that. Listen to the wind whip through the pines and firs in winter. Steady your gaze upon the purple Cascades in the evening sunset, the distant twinkling lights of a city unaware of us at its feet. Welcome the quiet visit of a doe and her fawn, hoping for an apple treat offered from your hand. Come celebrate the spectacular gift of life with me here in this quiet and very special oasis.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a home with light. I wanted a home with the sound of a tumbling creek nearby and the sight of a mated pair of eagles weaving a magic dance in the sky and using the limbs of a fir tree for rest in sight from my bedroom window. i wanted the charm of a bookstore, filled with the smell of fresh brewed coffee and a choice of books about lofts and Hemmingway only minutes from my backdoor. I have it here and want to share it with you. You who are hungry for quiet and beauty.

What makes this property unique

This, more than any other guest home you will find, offers you spectacular views and profound quiet. Twinkling lights at night. Purple mountain views at dusk or morning. Vigorous walks on a forested road any time of day at all.
