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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Not as Advertised

This property is not correctly advertised and I would like for VRBO to contact me regarding a refund. We are 3 adult friends who wanted some room to stretch out, and seeing that this VRBO slept "5", we felt that we would be comfortable. When we arrived, we were disappointed to find only a queen bed and a loft that was marked as off limits to guests. The loft had the majority of the sleeping spots in the property. It was also advertised as having a pull out couch, which the couch in the living room is not. It left us feeling uncomfortable and squished. Unfortunately I can't recommend this property, despite it being in a great area and very cute. Good for a couple but definitely not for more than two adults.

We would gladly stay at this darling place again!!

This tiny home is extremely well appointed. The windows let in plenty of light and makes this place so cozy. The kitchen may be small, but it had everything we needed to cook....plenty of pots, pans, utensils, small appliances, etc. The furnace in this little place keeps the place very toasty and comfortable. The water for the shower and sinks heats up quickly, too. The location is nice and private and was easy to find. The property manager was amazing and helpful. The only drawback to our vacation was when I fell down the stairs and banged myself up badly and the property manager directed us to a local clinic to be seen by a doctor. We loved this place and do plan to come back again. Such a darling little place!

Gifted stay for my son and his wife anniversary. They loved it! Comfortable and cozy. They did say it was small and I thought it was large (sleeps 10) that was deceiving BUT it was nice for their stay!

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.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a friend the cabin ( tiny home) type unit has a wonderfully stocked kitchen with plenty of cookware to cook thanksgiving dinner even a bread maker for homemade bread. It was clean & well supplied with kitchen & bath products, plenty of clean fluffy towels. The heat works great as nights were cold no extra blankets needed. The only little complaint is the queen mattress is old and sinks in the middle a bit. . Very peaceful through out the stay enjoyed morning coffee on the deck to sounds of birds was a great way to start the day. Will definitely be renting this home again soon.

Not as listed!

We booked this place with the understanding that it would sleep our 4-person group. It stated it has a one bedroom and then a loft with a bed. We got an email leading up to our stay that the loft would no longer be available due to safety concerns but were told there would be a pull out couch. That worked for us so we didn’t think twice. Upon arrival we learned that there actually isn’t a pull out couch, simply a couch. One person from our group had to sleep on the floor each night. The owner and management company (Vacasa) nickle and dimed us and didn’t feel it was fair to give us a reasonable refund. The listing still shows it sleeps 5. IT DOES NOT - BEWARE! Would not book this place or anywhere managed by Vacasa again.

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.

Stay at raccoon retreat

Setting, lovely, quiet. House: reasonably clean. Loft area seemed a bit dusty. Suggestions: 1. Clear directions to location. Outdoor light near road or reflective house # clearly visible on road. We got lost. Thankfully, a Vacasa agent was available by ph and used her computer to help us locate the place. 2. All mattresses are tired and need to be replaced. 3. Refrigerator: building up ice along entire back. Also loud. Often indications refrigerator is about worn out. Was that way when we arrived. We did not touch setting. Thank you again for providing housing in a beautiful place.

A place for people who want to come back to quiet after a day enjoying the island. My husband rated this his favorite place we have stayed on Orcas. That said prospective renters should be aware this rental is on a narrow winding road that is not what I would term walkable. You won’t be strolling into town without an intrepid spirit. You can, however, get to groceries in under 15 minutes by car. The kitchen and the grill were clean, well maintained and super functional . I wish I had remembered olive oil but there was vegetable oil on hand. Next time I would bring drinking water. The well water is ok but sensitive palates might balk. The wifi worked without a hitch but if you want watch either of 2 tv’s provided you might want to bring your laptop. We are here for nature but we don’t have kids. All and all a super comfortable space to relax for a long weekend.
