Everything from start to finish was smooth and easy. Rebecca was more than welcoming and was always quick to respond for whatever we needed. The cottage is BEAUTIFUL! It is literally right next to the ferry port and it is a couple minutes walk. The location is literally perfect. You have a restaurant, cafe, grocery store, and gift shop right next door. But the best part of it was the view! This cottage has the number one perfect view of the sound. Rebecca provides a lot of things for you in the cottage and lots of information about the island and activities. I highly recommend staying her if she's not booked. We had an amazing time here and enjoyed the relaxation and serenity (hence the name) that this offers. If we come back to visit the islands we are staying here.

A great spot to watch the ferries come and go!

The Cottages on Orcas Island are amazing! We were greeted by Rebecca with a sign with our names on it and taken right into our cottage. Rebecca is so knowledgable about the island and the best places to go and see. She gave us lots of really helpful information that really helped us maximize our time on the island. The cottage itself was great. Fully stocked with everything you could need (I always forget to bring a wine opener, bang it was already there) for a weekend. I highly recommend this place and will absolutely be returning.

The view was incredible! Rebecca was very thorough in explaining every little detail about our cottage and the amenities around Orcas Island. Thank you Rebecca for making our 22nd anniversary a memorable one! We will be back!

Your place was absolutely awesome Rebecca! Thanks for all you did for us and helping with the Ferry on Friday night as well. We so enjoyed your little hideaway right in village. Everything was so cozy. The corner store had great sandwiches and carrot cake ! Got coffee from the hotel before leaving on Ferry. Wished we could stay all week.

It was very cute! Rebecca was friendly and accommodating. The restaurants and store nearby closed a bit early, but they were great to visit when they were open. Watching the ferry come and go from the window seat was awesome.

Had a great time at serenity overlook. It was our first time to Orcas and we loved it. The space had all the essentials and was peaceful.

Our stay at Serenity Overlook was everything we expected and more! Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met and that every amenity was clearly outlined in this cute, cozy cottage. From greeting us with my name on a sign upon our arrival off the ferry to taking the time to show us how the heater worked, she made sure that we were well taken care of and we really appreciated it. Orcas Island itself is of course well worth the visit for myriad reasons, and Serenity Overlook made both a convenient and picturesque home base for our explorations. We loved the view, the vibe, the location, and the cottage. Thanks Rebecca for hosting us!

Cozy cabana, beautiful grounds, and delightful hosts! The pool was fantastic with the perfect view of the water. We will definitely be back!

John and Chris are great hosts and made us feel completely welcome on this sprawling property. John showed us everything about the room we stayed in and even went as far as to run a hardwired internet line into the unit so that we could complete some work that needed a very steady internet connection. The pool and the hot tub were well maintained and we used both of them. We also enjoyed the plum and apple trees that had abundant fruits on them. John brought us some cut up pineapple when we were enjoying the patio and had some fruits picked and ready in the outdoor kitchen area - there was also an indoor kitchen area as well. We enjoyed our privacy at this more secluded part of the island with views of the marina and sound. Wildlife was abundant on the island and on our whale watching tour! I would definitely recommend this beautiful place and the hosts for there warm welcome.

Amazing hosts and location with an incredible view! Absolutely love this place ! One of the best spots on Orcas!

The Cabana is super cute! Small but perfect for a couple. The property is gorgeous, and very secluded. The cons for our stay were that the wifi signal was VERY weak, it was basically unusable when inside the cabana. Also, the hot tub was more of a warm tub - we couldn't get it to heat over 90 degrees, which wasn't warm enough in October. Chris and John weren't there which was kind of a bummer, but overall our stay was pleasant, and the accommodations were nice for the price.

The whole thing went above and beyond our expectations, really excellent. The grounds are beautiful, with a large garden, fruit trees, and a lawn with a wide-open view of the sound. The hot tub and the heated pool were great. They also have a rec room with a huge collection of random funny/interesting objects that John has collected over the years, as well as a high-end pool table. The cabana itself was spotless, the bed was quite comfortable, and the internet was working fine. Next to the cabana there is a beautiful outdoor kitchen with a gas grill and a fridge. One night we grilled a couple of sockeye fillets and ate next to the pool underneath a patio umbrella. This place has a pleasant tropical vibe, relaxing without coming off as cheesy. Location-wise, there is a very good restaurant a couple of blocks away, and the main town of Eastsound is a 10-minute drive. Chris & John were very friendly and happy to help out with recommendations for things to do and places to eat. They have three small, friendly dogs who mostly stayed inside the main house, though we received the occasional visit. The photos on Airbnb don't really do it justice, this is a fantastic rental. I'll be recommending it to friends and family.

We enjoyed our stay at the poolside cabana. The hot tub and pool with a spectacular view of the bay are amazing. The cabana is cozy with a comfortable bed. Chris and John were great hosts.

Wonderful accommodations, amazing view, hot tub and pool, fun and easy to use poolside kitchen. Perfect vacation spot. John and Chris were knowledgeable, welcoming and great hosts. Walk to the beach and kayak or hike Turtleback Mt, so easy and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Wow! Right out of the gate, let’s just say I can’t wait to go back. This was the first stop for my husband and I on our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The cabana is everything that’s advertised and more. It’s cozy, comfortable, and the view from the pool deck of the bay is beautiful. The clubhouse is super cool too, although we didn’t get much time to hang out there since we were exploring the island most of our stay. It’s a wonderful “home-away-from-home” to come back to after bouncing around Orcas all day, and Chris and John are excellent hosts. John met us as soon as we arrived, showed us around the grounds, and was more than accommodating with advice on local must-sees. They even left us some helpful maps and fliers in the cabana so we’d be able to find our way around without staring out our phones all day. We chatted with them a bit more on our second night and they are genuinely nice people with great energy. An extra bonus: they left us fresh, local coffee ground for a French press (provided), as well as oatmeal and tea. We thoroughly enjoyed the apples we picked right off their property's many apple trees. Sitting and watching the gorgeous sunset with a glass of wine, cheese, and fresh fruit was just bliss. We loved cooking in the outdoor kitchen (and wish we had our own). The one and only downside is that the shower IN the cabana is very small (tall people will have to crouch a bit) and there was not enough hot water for two showers back-to-back. There is another shower around the corner in the room that has the pool pump, etc., but, admittedly, there was a spider that disappeared quickly when I opened the curtain, and I was too chicken to shower in there. Most people without silly, irrational fears of spiders will be fine in this shower, which is a normal size! So, the small shower in the cabana is not an issue if you don't mind using the other shower. John did make sure to tell us about the other shower when we got there. The property is super close to Deer Harbor and the ferry, so in addition to being a lovely spot, it’s also convenient. Looking forward to booking our next trip to paradise at the poolside cabana!

We loved Abe & Kate's place. It was so quiet and peaceful. We had a balcony with a view of the water. You'd definitely want a car to be able to get around Orcas. Kate and Abe were around and available if we needed anything, but not overly present. We absolutely loved this place and hope to be able to return soon!

Adorable place right by the water, very comfortable and clean room and delicious breakfasts. We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view and delightful hosts. Very clean roam and house and the light breakfast was delicious.

A lovely place with friendly hosts. The location is fantastic.

What a beautiful spot! Our room was super spacious for 3 of us. The views are amazing. It is a fabulous old house in great shape - has a really warm, homey feel. Their son is ADORABLE and adds to the ambiance. Breakfast was fabulous...maybe the best banana bread I have ever had! Thanks for welcoming us in!

Excellent in every way!

Abe and Kate's home was very welcoming. It was a short drive to town, and has beautiful waterfront views. They were incredibly accommodating and hospitable. Next time I find myself in Orcas Island I will be reaching out to them again.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is a secluded and woodsy cabin, perfect for getting away from it all. The nearby bath house is a lovely way to start your day with a soak in the tub. Be prepared to not have cell service (screen shot the directions or you will get lost like I did), also bring a flashlight to get to / from the outhouse at night. If you like being out in the woods and away from it all this place is perfect for you! The wood stove makes for some great ambience. Bring games and puzzles and you'll have a lovely time.

Ravensong is quaint, quiet and affordable; just the right size for two wanting remoteness and quiet. The hosts are welcoming, attentive and helpful; their garden produce is delicious and plentiful. The bathhouse is clean and tidy. The outhouse is tidy but, it's an outhouse; you'll leave with a greater appreciation for flushing toilets. We appreciated Erin sharing some camp chairs with us for the deck. We do suggest bringing your own reclining camp chairs as the furniture in the cabin does not accommodate reclining.

Exactly what we were looking for on our trip in the PNW. Cozy, secluded, and fun!

Most peaceful place we have ever stayed--simply perfect. Plan to return in the future!

Erin was incredibly kind and available. He also provided us with eggs from his chickens free of charge. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return in the future.

Great little artist-style cottage tucked away off the main road, though not far from the main ferry terminal. Kitchen amenities were useful and bed upstairs was nice size (though I gave that to my mom; I slept downstairs with sleeping bag). Hoped for a peaceful getaway for my mother, but unfortunately this property wasn't her preference--and the rowdy neighbors partying all night long, hooting/shouting, and subwoofers clashed with our expectations (recognize this is out of their control; but worth nothing). Contacted host who also reported the noise complaint, but 11-11:30pm wasn't soon enough when we had an early rise planned. I would consider staying here again, but not with family.

This place was exactly what we were looking for! Erin was prompt getting back to us when we did have a couple questions. The cabin is not easy to find but that was part of the adventure. I would recommend this cabin for sure!!

We enjoyed the forest cabin, and our weekend on Orcas Island. The cabin is cozy inside, warming up quickly on a March evening with either the plug in heater or, the tiniest woodstove we have ever seen! Be prepared for a ladder climb to the comfortable bed up in the loft.

Todd was very nice and it is a great studio place to stay while on Orcas Island. Will recommend to our friends and family!

Todd has a great little guest house on a gorgeous property. The guest house has everything you need including a big slow cooker that works as a replacement for an oven. Todd and his puppy were very welcoming and made us fee at home. The bed was comfortable and the place was warm. Thanks again!

A lovely peaceful retreat tucked away from the tourist areas but close enough to be easily accessible to everything. Well equipped kitchen and cosy studio surrounded by woods. Really enjoyed our stay and would visit again. The bed was very comfortable. Todd was a lovely host, but we were out a lot so did not see much of him.

We arrived on the late ferry and first approached the studio in the dark. It was a cozy relief to this tired mama and her two young children. The beds were comfy and we fell right to sleep only to wake to a forest wonderland. The studio is in a beautiful setting. Quiet with a lovely shady spot perfect for our picnic lunch on our first full day. My kids loved Cash and asked for him every morning. Todd was informative and very, very nice making sure we had what we needed and pointing us in the proper direction for the wedding events we were attending over the weekend. It's about five minutes from the ferry landing and twenty from Eastsound. We can't wait to visit again!

I couldn't have been happier with my visit to Orcas. The studio is truly lovely--cozy, warm and beautifully furnished, with natural light, art, and a shelf full of interesting books. Todd warmly welcomed me and my dog, took us on a walk in the "neighborhood," provided hiking recommendations, and even shared some homemade chicken soup on a rainy evening. Also, the bed is incredibly comfortable! I hope to return.

This was booked on my husband's account. I came to Orcas with a dear friend and we wanted to reconnect. The setting was tranquil (just what we wanted) and although a bit small (but as described) , the accommodations were perfect for what we wanted. We enjoyed our visit to the island and learning about Todd's creative art passion as a sculptor. What a great sculpture garden to enjoy evening wine and cheese in the Adirondack chairs! Very much Recommended. Fredia

Todd's studio was a welcome stay after a long adventure filled week. Both Todd and his canine cohost made us feel most welcome. His cohost, Cash stayed until he was certain that we were all settled in. Loved the tranquil setting in the forest. Studio was comfortable and had everything we needed had we been able to stay longer. Freshly ground coffee beans a real treat!

Todd's studio / guesthouse was a great place to stay on Orcas Island. The place was clean and stocked with all the necessities for an overnight stop. Also, Todd (and his dog) were very friendly and inviting. My only caution is there is limited-to-no mobile reception on much of Orcas Island so make sure you pre-load a map and read Todd's directions very carefully!

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

An incredible location with great views and a great host. Ellen showed us around and gave a guided tour around the area, with Farley (her dog). She had a hand drawn map of the location, since the roads are not on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). The place is a lovely house, was well stocked and comfortable. My only regret is that I stayed just 1 night.

Beautiful craft built house deep in the woods with lots of private trails to hike. So glad Ellen let my parents and I stay in her home for the weekend.

Communication and directions to the cottage we're excellent before hand. The place was as described and Ellen and her dog were there to greet us upon arrival. Everything one could need seemed to be in the house and Ellen was kind a laid back and would have surely been happy to help if we needed anything additionally. The location on the end of a private dirt road is phenomenal with a beautiful garden that ellen invited us to glean from if we wished and direct access to turtleback mtn. literally out the front door: We enjoyed a short (~3miles round trip) but at times vigorous hike with fantastic views. The house was very cozy with a woodstove and ample space for everyone. The loft has a real nice bed. The 2nd bedroom is a pullout full or queen sofa bed with a nice mattress and in the living room there is a very sleepable couch for an individual. Had we been staying for longer than a couple days we would have seeked to clarify with Ellen which of the pantry items were up for grabs. There was some debate within our party about this as many properties like this are strictly Airbnb and anything in them is up for grabs whereas this property is clearly Ellen's home that she graciously vacates for her guests. The positive side of this was that we really weren't wanting for anything and actually ended up over-provisioned. I would stay here again. Orcas island is a special place. Definitely hope to return one day for more than a couple days. Thank you Ellen for sharing your little slice of paradise.

Ellen was absolutely fantastic....great communication, windfall place and shared her awesome dog (Farley) with us. Hard to find a more relaxing and comfortable place than this.

Ellen was there to greet us when we arrived to her beautiful home in the forest. Her place is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need. It also is so quiet and beautiful, we felt very fortunate to be there. It was lovely to take walks around Ellen's home and she provided us a map of area so we could find our way back. Our dog, Charlie, was so happy to roam around with us. Her garden is amazing. We will be back!

Ellen was a great host. The home is warm and inviting. The location is quiet and peaceful. We would be happy to return for a stay the next time we visit Orcas Islands.

Ellen was a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay on Orcas in the cabin in the woods. It was perfectly quiet and peaceful. The cabin was just as described and was very comfortable for us. We would definitely stay there again if we re-visit Orcas.

Lisa and Richard were great hosts. They were thorough with their directions and helpful during our stay. All the amenities they provided made our stay worth while. They provided us with snacks, comfort, and entertainment. The view and hot tub alone were the highlight of our stay. We would gladly come back!

My husband and I stayed in the basement suite of the cabin in early February for the Orcas 50k race. The cabin is conveniently located between Moran State Park and East Sound shops and dining. It was 2 minutes to the park and 5 minutes to East Sound. It is located on a forested hillside with a little view of the water. It was snowing and pretty foggy most days, so we couldn't see much anyway. The basement suite is prefect for a couple. The small kitchen is better stocked than most full sized (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) kitchens we've been in. They had milk, juice, coffee, breakfast items, butter, and snack for free. They also had a really amazing small appliance that makes coffee, is a toaster oven, and you can cook items on the top of it. The microwave was in a cabinet, and it had a small fridge. You have all the utensils and dishes you need. You have to wash your items in the bathroom sink, but that was o.k. by us. It really had everything you could think of (shampoos, conditioners, soaps, towels, hairdryer, etc...) It was a cozy place to stay and much appreciated after running for hours in the snow. The bedroom itself had a king sized bed and we slept well. The main room had so much to entertain you. It had a pool table, a karaoke machine, great movies, a tv in the main room and the bedroom, wi-fi, and a gas (URL HIDDEN) was a big space to just relax in. Very comfortable. Then, of course, there is the hot tub. The hot tub was upstairs on the covered entry deck. We used it a lot. Really was nice on a snowy day. We really enjoyed our short stay here during winter. Seems like there would be a lot to do here in the summer too. It was a serene and relaxing experience.

The most wonderful and magical place to stay on the island!!! I was astounded by the lodge and the views. Close to everything and Lisa was very communicative about anything we needed. I would most definitely stay there again! Thank you so much!

If you're reading this review, look no further for a place to stay on Orcas Island. This house is gorgeous and so clean ! Pictures don't do this place justice by any means. Lisa left a personal note for us on arrival and a special bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday. We had a fabulous time. Careful, there's no service up there so have your instructions saved!

This cabin is amazing. Easy to find, and cooler than we had expected. My wife and I had an incredible time hanging out in the game room. Richard met us and was very informative and gracious. We'll absolutely be back in the future.

The cabin was cozy, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a weekend on the island. Lisa left us a sweet note upon arrival and expedited our check-in, and the couple seemed very willing to help with whatever our needs were. Great stay! Plus, if you're into moose, pool, and/or novelty player-pianos, this is the place for you!

Your space is amazing. We had no idea how lovely our stay was going to be. There are so many amenities beyond what we expected. The karaoke machine was so fun! We want to come back with a larger group but can't imagine you'll have availability between now and ever! Thanks for being so responsive, helpful and offering such a beautiful place for a lovely getaway. Thank you again Lisa and Richard.

We loved Timber Lodge and highly recommend it for couples, families or groups. Couldn't ask for a more picturesque setting or well-equipped rental.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful weekend staying at cozy cottage! It was perfect - everything we needed and so much charm. It was very easy to communicate with our hosts prior to our trip, and once we arrived Jeannie and Arthur made us feel so welcomed. I felt perfectly set-up for a relaxing, beautiful weekend on Orcas Island!

Jeannie was great! Very knowledgeable about the island and happy to help us out planning a few activities. Her home was clean and very comfortable. My sister and I would love to stay here again!

Our stay on Orcas Island was great and this cabin was a large part of it. It is in a wonderfully wooded and quiet part of the island (though that probably describes most of the island). Arthur was there when we arrived to explain everything about the cabin and the island, and brought us apples from the garden. After that, we didn't run into Jeannie and Arthur, but we didn't need anything. The cabin is beautiful and well maintained - clean and stocked with essentials. It was very cozy and warm to stay in the morning it poured rain. Without a stove and oven, the cooking options are limited, but there were plenty of great restaurants and the food co-op. The only issue we had with being on Orcas Island was getting off of it. One of the main ferries was out of service the day we were leaving, which meant the ferry schedule was off and no one knew when the next boat would come. I let Jeannie know and she showed concern and offered help. Luckily, we got home that day and didn't need the help. But it was really comforting that she had our back.

Amazing little cottage. New construction with vintage cabin charm. Super cute details and extremely comfortable. A perfect bed to land on after a day of exploring the island. Set in a pristine and quiet area with only deer and occasional bunnies running around. Hospitable hosts ready to help when needed but non-intrusive. Plan on driving to town for great shopping, food and sight seeing. Would definitely come back to this spot!

Jeannie and Arthur were lovely hosts. They made us feel so at home and welcome in the cozy cottage. We never wanted to leave. They were there for anything we may have needed and were always there for information, suggestions, or just great conversation. We would love to go back and I would recommend everyone stay at this cozy cottage. It is a slice of heaven on Orcas Island.

Great little cabin with lots of hospitality from Jeannie and her husband. I highly recommend the cabin and would stay there again.

I cannot say how much I enjoyed my visit to Jeannie and Arthur's cosy cottage! The space itself was wonderful, and the surroundings were just lovely, as an outdoors enthusiast. Both Jeannie and Arthur were accommodating around my early arrival, and offered great suggestions for making the most of my visit to the island. This is a wonderful spot to getaway from the noise, and experience the beauty of Orcas.

The stay at Orcas Island with Jeannine and Arthur was fantastic. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything that was needed. They even had apples from their orchard, which was so nice. They were extremely helpful and shared places to see and restaurants to eat at. We will definitely be back!

Kari was very accommodating. Our stay was above and beyond what we expected. This was our first airbnb experience, and exceeded our expectations. Her home was very clean and conveniently located. Kari was very helpful with any travel arrangements, dining, and attraction advise. She was also very respectful to our privacy and trusted us with her beautiful home. Her home would be perfect for a family get together, which is what I hope to do in the future. I look forward to returning to Orcas Island and now i know exactly where to stay.

Visiting the island for a multi-day camping event, my boyfriend and I wanted to spend a night in the town of Eastsound -- and I'm glad we chose Kari's place for this purpose. She was an excellent host, had helpful tips about the island, and we had a great time chatting with her our first night there. I would be more than happy to stay here again if I'm visiting the island in the future.

Staying at Kari's was such an incredible experience. She is a great host, always helpful and friendly. The house is a little gem and the room has a super comfy bed and a private bathroom. Location is super, just few minutes walk to main street. Private parking and free wi-fi that works good.

Kari and Jim were wonderful,welcoming hosts. They had a great home which was very tidy and organized. It was at a great location in Eastsound which you could easily walk to restaurants, shops and the seafront. They were very helpful with tips for restaurants and a great whale watching tour which we saw many Orcas!

If only we could have stayed longer! Kari and Jim were lovely hosts and their beautiful home could not have been more perfect for our quick getaway to Orcas. If you're looking for a quiet, super clean, well appointed, fantastically located place, this is it. The queen guest room with adjoining bathroom was like being in our own suite. Extra plus: super comfy bed, nice linens, good pillows!

Kari and her husband are gracious hosts, and very welcoming! The home is beautiful and comfortable, and the location can't be beat. It was great to be able to walk to dinner and shops, and it was such a cozy place to curl up at the end of a day outside.

Nice room and private bath on the main floor off the kitchen. Kari was very accommodating to our travel plans and provided great recommendations for places to visit in the area.

Kari's place was awesome. Just what we needed and within walking distance to the shops/restaurants! Kari and Jim were great hosts.

Suzanne nous a très bien accueillis. Elle a eu la gentillesse de nous prévenir dès que la chambre fût prête. La description du logement correspondait à ce qui a été décrit avec de nombreuses attentions comme entre autres les fruits, le granola, le chocolat. Suzanne nous a aussi donné de nombreux conseils sur les activités dans l'île et plus paticulièrement dans le parc. Un séjour donc réussi sur Orcas.

Our stay at the Harper House was perfect for our short anniversary trip! The hosts were very generous in sharing their home and treats like cider, jerky, and smoked salmon (which was out of this world.) The suite was private, clean, and quiet! Everything that could have been thought of was provided for us! Tillamook yogurt with homemade granola, coffee and milk, shampoo and conditioner, clean towels, etc. We wanted to spend as much time as we could exploring the island and the location of the house was perfectly situated in the middle of the island. After a long day of hiking, the outdoor shower really hit the spot! The only complaint for us was that we wish our stay was longer. We hope to return to the Harper House in the near future!

We loved our stay at Harper House! The space is really comfortable and private, and John and Suzanne's location is super convenient for exploring Orcas and enjoying the amenities of East Sound. Arne was skeptical of the outdoor shower, but we both LOVED it - so refreshing on a warm Saturday afternoon! We would love to return, and will take time next visit to enjoy the fire pit!

Our trip was lovely. I really didn't want to leave. The house was cozy and cute with an amazing bath and lovely outdoor shower. My parents were visiting from Minnesota and I brought them here and they thought it was beautiful and felt more relaxed than they had in years. Suzanne was a great host and a lovely person. I would highly recommend staying here.

The location was terrific, just five minutes outside of Eastsound, making it easy to get back and forth. Suzanne was welcoming even before we arrived offering advice about what hikes to take. The room itself was comfortable and it was nice having both the bedroom and sitting room. As advertised, the outside shower, was really terrific. We were very pleased with Harper house.

Our Orcas Island trip was a delight from start to finish. Suzanne provided a wealth of information before we left about practical things like the hill approaching the property (we were on bikes) to Island events we should check out, including a Burlesque show. The Harper House Suite was just what we needed. Cozy and comfortable with games to play and coffee to drink. The weekend was capped off with fresh dungeness crab for our ferry ride home. Crab has never tasted so good! Thanks Suzanne

I had a fabulous time at Harper House. The space was even better than I expected. We loved the fire pit and the outdoor shower. Suzanne was a gracious host and so helpful. We can't wait to come back!

We arrived just perfect. The stays were very relaxing and my daughter love it. Susanne & John are most welcome host, we were so lucky to stay with them.

The host canceled this reservation 50 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

What a beautiful place! We loved the quiet seclusion. Ryan was a great host but left us alone to relax and enjoy the hot tub with the fantastic view!

We really enjoyed our relaxing stay. We were upgraded to a large 3 bedroom house, which would be a wonderful place for a family vacation or a small group of friends. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We brought our own food and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house has a game room which includes a pool table and indoor basketball. There is a nice selection of board games, large screen TV, vinyl turntable with records, propane and wood burning fireplaces. We enjoyed a leisurely walk to Deer Harbor. Ryan's directions from the Ferry were easy to follow. The bed in the master bedroom had a good mattress and was very comfortable. The house was eclectically decorated which was fun and interesting.

Sweet view

Enjoyed our stay. Very cozy cabin with plenty of space for two adults.

My sister and her 14 year old daughter and I went up to the Gnome House this weekend! After a long drive/ferry ride, it was so nice to walk into the house and feel instantly at home. They had beautiful music playing and the instructions were laid out for everything along with things to do for the weekend (big bird/wildlife festival). So Meg and Bob made us feel at home nearly instantly. The house is amazing - so incredibly cute!!! As described, it is a gnome house and is so intricately built. Everything about it is cute! The kitchen is well stocked, the fireplace worked magically and the beds were very comfortable. We did tell each other ghost stories that (URL HIDDEN) we may have all slept in the same room upstairs :). We used the hot tub once, but really we were so busy with things on Orcas we didn't have much time to use the fire pit. Hot tub was easy to use. Kids love this place too - the alcove where the table in was amazing. Finally - the sunlight coming in the bedroom on Sunday was so beautiful. I didn't want to leave.

Had an absolutely lovely stay at the Gnome House! Bob and Meg have a created a really unique experience that oozes charm and comfort. Massive ceilings, delightful wood burning stove, a sleigh bed and a nook bed as well! The house was well stocked with everything you could need. Clean and well appointed. We took a walk up the hill behind the house for a marvelous view and the resident cat followed us! Made for a great little hike. If you get the chance stay at the Gnome House for a one of a kind experience.

Our stay at the Gnome House was amazing. The house is incredible and a testament to Bob's talent. We had some friends vacationing in the area and our hosts very graciously let us have them over for a night. We'd love to come back! Highly recommended for anyone staying on Orcas Island.

Lovely little cottage tucked away. Not much in the way of shopping, but it is pretty near the DH marina if you come in by float plane.

We arrived in the evening and the home was a bit chilly, so we had to start a fire, which would normally not be a big deal but we were exhausted from traveling all day and there was no paper or kindling. We later found out there was a thermostat but the home instructions only mentioned the fireplace. The place was very charming as the pictures showed, but also very rustic. When I say rustic, I mean I think the place has the same bedding, furniture etc that it had in 1986 when it was built. We had an overall good experience, our son loved the place. You are staying on someones farm, which sounds charming and is to a degree, but you are also walking around junk piles accumulated over 40 years. It feels like a long drive to town (Eastsound). We are not overly picky people but we felt a little disappointed with the overall experience. The surprise $40 tax bill on arrival was rude, that should be disclosed with the rates. Next time we will likely just stay in town.

The Gnome House was wonderful and ready for us when we arrived. It was exactly what we expected and a little more. We didn't realized the second bedroom was in a cute cubby hole. We almost fought over who would stay in it because it was so adorable w/ a full bed! Lots of special touches in the gnome house that make it feel like you're a gnome or hobbit! We hope to visit it again! The hosts were great and weren't intrusive at all. We just met Meg when we were leaving and she was very sweet.

Orcas Island was of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and the Gnome House was the perfect place to stay. Bob and Meg were very helpful and accommodating. Absolutely magical experience!

The yurt was pretty cozy and clean. Our hosts were pretty friendly, helpful and nice. They were very generous to give us fresh eggs for breakfast as well. :) Ken gave me and my significant other some information about the Orcas Island, places to go and all other events in the island. I would definitely recommend them to my colleagues. Check out the cottage that they are renting out as well!

Kate and her husband were very relaxed and welcoming and available . I really enjoyed speaking with Kate about her horses!

The yurt is unique and adorable. We loved falling asleep to the flickering light of the wood stove, being disconnected (electrically), petting the mustangs and being on Orcas Island. The location was less private than we thought it would be judging by the pictures, but it was still a lot more private and quiet than where we live. Beautiful property, we would definitely stay again!

This is a very nice, quiet location that worked well for my needs.

Kate was a warm and fabulous host! We stayed at both the Yurt and the Rose Cottage over a long weekend for a dear friend's wedding -both were magical! Kate was communicative and flexible with check-in times, and welcoming. She and her husband lead a rich island life, and their farm is a little slice of paradise. Both venues were delightful, clean, and just as described. Highly recommend!

Hosts were friendly and the place was clean and adorable! It was a great experience and Orcas Island is absolutely gorgeous!

When else will you have the opportunity to stay in a yurt?! The husband and I had an amazing adventure staying at Kate's property. The farm is lovely as is Kate and her husband, Ken. The listing and information provide are very accurate. We built a nice little fire in the wood burning stove and we're quite cozy all night!

Staying in the yurt was a coming home. That land is so beautiful, and the presence of the horses~ all combined with the amazing hospitality and warmth of Ken and Kate. So grateful.

Bob & Kandis welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour of their property and were very generous w/ their fruit from their orchard. We found the cottage comfortable and cozy and when we lost electricity in part of the cottage, Bob & Kandis had it fixed the next day and all was good!

Very peaceful and serene setting, we had a great time. And thanks so much for the plums!

Bob & Kandis were wonderful hosts. The grounds surrounding the place were filled with apples, plums and pear trees. And there's a quaint and serene pond at the rear of the property with a picnic table that my parents took advantage of for breakfast one morning.

The hosts were very welcoming. They have a beautiful property. I enjoyed walking around and picking fruit trees every morning. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was safe and comfortable for us.

Bob and Kandis were wonderful hosts. They were welcoming and attentive to our questions about activities offered in the area. Their hospitality was exceptional.

What a lovely spot and such gracious, friendly hosts! The cottage was exactly as described and was a perfect launching spot for all of our island jaunts. What was especially unique was the orchard and the gentle grassy knoll behind the cabin. We spent the days near the water then came home to a farm-like feeling each night to watch the stars from the porch. Both Bob and Kandis reached out to us over the weekend to ensure that we were comfortable and the added bonus of the fresh picked fruit Bob offered to us made our stay very special. Any guest staying here will feel cozy and comfortable and well taken care of!

Bob and Kandis were kind and gracious hosts. They took the time to show us all of the amenities of the cottage, as well as their beautiful property, where their fruit trees were in full bloom. The cottage is in a great location, close to the ferry, Eastsound, and Deer Harbor. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, which we enjoyed on the front porch. I look forward to returning this summer, to try the fruit and see these lovely folks again. You should do the same!

What a beautiful place and nice hosts. The cottage is very cute and extremely good equipped with everything you need (and even more). If you are searching for a quiet and peaceful place without cell phone service, but still very close to the sea, hiking trails, grocery stores and downtown Eastsound, this is the perfect place to stay on Orcas.

Great space for our group of 4 with 2 teenagers that loved hanging out in the loft. Charming area of Olga, close to the water, quiet, very well cared for and lovely light-filled home.

Paul's house is beautiful, clean, spacious and in a great location by the water and a close drive to the town & Moran state park. I would stay there again!

This home is in a beautiful location, clean and stocked with everything you need, and very comfortable. The neighborhood of Olga is quiet and there is a beach a minute away for you to explore. This is a perfect home for a small family. We loved our stay and communicating with Paul was very easy.

Great place to snuggle in and find a cozy, quiet place on Orcas. It sleeps four perfectly (two rooms, both with Queen beds), and could easily sleep 1-2 others fairly comfortably, just a little more in the open. The house has pretty much all you need (linens, kitchen basics, wifi, space, heat, electricity). And if you like to wander within the property, bring a good pair of rain shoes (Bogs are my favs) and you can loop all the way around the Dragonfly Pond; quick walk, and worth it. The drive to Eastsound is about 10 minutes, and the Turtlehead Mtn is a worthy hike (also about 7-10 min drive). And Lisl & Joe are very responsive, and both open to helping while you're there, and leaving you alone :-).

We had the very best time at Lisl's place!! The house was clean, super spacious, and the beds were so comfortable! Nice mid century design through out the house and huge windows, lots of deer walking through the yard, fresh cut flowers and herbs in the house too. Lisl was an awesome host and so fast to respond to messages. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Enjoy!!

Had the most wonderful stay at the dragonfly house! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Sitting in the hammock by the pond was an incredibly relaxing experience and the house was perfect- simple, clean and so charming. Thank you for such a great stay!

Very comfortable space, quite, pristine, and relaxing. Wonderful space and centrally located. Lisl & Joe were communicative and very welcoming. I'd stay again!

What a lovely winter stay at Dragon Fly pond. The house is rustic, comfortable and spacious. We had a surprise snow and baked cookies in the big kitchen. Lisl and Joe wrote back almost immediately to questions and shared a visit to their farm next door.

This is a private, peaceful place to stay on Orcas. You can go to sleep hearing the only sound being the wind in the surrounding trees. Nice anytime of year.

Wow, what a beautiful place to stay! The home is in a great location and easy to get to the ferry and to Eastsound. So quiet and so tranquil too. The space flows so, so well and accommodated us three gals perfectly! Great hosts as well which is always a treat. Really looking forward to coming back!

Really loved my stay here at Dragonfly Pond, the location is ideal, the setting tranquil and the value fantastic. Although the pictures made this place seem quaint in size I was pleasantly surprised to arrive and see how tall the ceilings were and the spaciousness of the entire house. Two bathrooms, nearly 3 bedrooms and a big kitchen + TV area were heavenly for the winter months. Did I mention Roku TV because that was the cherry on the cupcake. Would come back here in a heartbeat!
