The cottage was perfectly laid-out and had everything one could need. It’s a perfect spot for two people. The view was amazing and can be seen from bed.

This little cottage made for a lovely stay on Orcas Island. Views through the trees of the sound, with great light and an airy space. The cabin was cozy and very tidy. Walkable to the town and great restaurants (walk is on the main road which can be a little busy) We recommend this place as a quaint & cozy getaway.
