Very Nice …

The house is pretty much perfect. Clean, well decorated/layed out, supplied, organized and location is spot on. You have options to many indoor or outdoor seating to retreat to having your own space or lounging about with who you’re traveling with. All the bedrooms are cozy and are supplied about the same. The only draw back I saw was getting to the house. Driveway/parking area is below the house. You will need to haul your bags UP to the house. Which is a lot if your staying a week and have 3 bags pre-person. Or have ANY medical limits (at the time I had a broken ankle & was in a boot). Although in the property description it does mention rocky stairs. Take into consideration you’ll be ready for a chilled beverage after you unload the car. And if coming home late…. It’s DARK! Over all - the house is lovely. I’d stay again. We had everything we needed. It was close to town, not noisy, trees kept you nestled in with wildlife (mamma doe & fawn) walking about property, hummingbirds buzzing and the whispers above from the branches. Very relaxing…. Ya just gotta get there😉

Company Office Staff Retreat

Amazing place. The only negative thing at all was that we typed the address into Waze from the ferry and it had the location fairly wrong, but we found it eventually.

Gorgeous weekend getaway spot

What a beautiful home! Worked as a great spot to sleep, eat and lounge for a long girls weekend on Orcas. Four beautiful bedrooms w comfy beds. Two entire kitchen and living room sections. Could easily accommodate two families instead! Fantastic home w beautiful style and convenient amenities. There are somewhat steep stairs to enter, so not for the handicapped or terribly infirmed, but totally manageable even w a bum foot. Hosts were great communicators and so lovely!

Island Adventure

The property was first rate, well kept, centrally located. There is a good deal of traffic noise during the daytime, as the house is on the main road from the ferry landing to Eastsound, but traffic quieted down in the evening, never affecting our sleep. It was ideal for our group of eight adults. There are two distinct living areas with fully equipped kitchens, as such the upstairs could be rented by one group of four while the downstairs could be another separate group, with the stairs locked off. Or in our case, the stairs were opened and we used the whole house.

Beautiful tree house

This well designed beautiful home was perfect for our family group of 8. The kitchen is well equipped; we had everything we could possibly need- all essentials! Comfortable beds and bedding, outdoor seating on two levels. We enjoyed the fire pit! The location is good, walkable to town but I wouldn’t have been comfortable doing so due to traffic. We would love to come back.

Lovely treehouse getaway

This two story, with two apartment like floors were beautifully done with room for everyone to relax inside and out. We cooked all week and the kitchens had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking to town and the Judd Nature Preserve is just a 5 minute walk away. Bring a chair and a book , it’s lovely. It was our first time on Orcas and Eastsound was centrally located to reach all our activities. We hop we’ll be back!!!

Secluded two unit home Near Eastsound, well configured for several couples or two families with both

Beautifully decorated and well appointed with both indoor/outdoor, public/private spaces. Conducive to cooking/dining activities. Several sets of stairs indoors and outdoors. Property is just off main road and walkable to town if you don't mind walking along roadway. Trees and screening makes it feel more secluded. Grills, porches, and outdoor spaces make it easy to enjoy the natural setting. Never did figure out all of the light switches.
