"We enjoyed the house and our trip to Orcas Island! The house worked out well for our extended family (5 adults and 2 kids)...we enjoyed the decks, garden, horseshoes and wonderful views. Also, it was a treat to watch the pair of bald eagles each day. My husband and I did a short kayak trip with Shearwater and had a great experience. We ordered organic produce from John Stewart, Maple Rock Farm and all was awesome....a great treat for a family of mostly vegetarians. THANKS again for a wonderful vacation home!"

"We had a FANTASTIC time. Your house, location and surrounding property were amazing. The house held our group of 10 perfectly, we had enough room to sleep as well as to sit and connect as friends. The kitchen was fully equipped, so we were able to make huge family-style meals and everyone was able to just relax amongst the beautiful scenery. We found the house to be a great fit for us, and the fact that it was well equipped with everything made our weekend flawless! The Cedar Field House was the perfect setting for our mini-reunion and allowed us to not worry about the logistics, and just relax and re-connect as a group. We definitely plan on coming back next year - in fact, everyone kept raving about the house and telling me that I HAD to get it again next year. Thanks again for everything!"

"We had a wonderful stay at your vacation home. Thank you so much. It suited our needs perfectly for the weekend for our group of 10. We all very much enjoyed the island, the ultra-marathon event, and your home was so comfortable and well appointed. I hope you found everything in order as per your check-out instructions. Our group is already cooking-up ideas for a return trip to Orcas to explore more of your beautiful island. With regards, Sara Pape-Salmon"

"Thanks for a great accommodation for our family. We loved exploring the island and it was great to be able to stay all together in a beautiful location. Your house is wonderful and I actually preferred that it was inland. We saw some great wildlife. Thanks!"

Cedar Field Vacation House on Orcas Island Clean, Comfortable
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Eastsound
Orcas Island is a beautiful location for vacationing. There is so much to offer.... whale watching, sea kayaking, hiking, or simply relaxing on Turtleback Mountain and watching the eagles soar. I stepped off the Orcas ferry 8 years ago for the first time and have loved it ever since. The scenery, welcoming community, and closeness to nature makes Orcas a very unique place to visit. Orcas Island has the right combination of a country, sea side, and local charm without the tacky signage and congestion you see elsewhere.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Cedar Field is perfect for multiple families wanting to spend a vacation together under the same roof or... just the right spot for a couple to stay for a quick getaway from the city as a last minute adventure. It is quiet, full of wildlife (bald eagles, turkey vultures, rabbits, deer and horses and cows in the pastures nearby), and panoramic views with ever changing scenic skies. Cedar Field is arranged for a casual vacation... a full kitchen (two kitchens actually) to prepare meals with family and friends and plenty of comfortable seating for conversation and games. The woodstove and fireplace provide a warm evening ambiance.
Only 10 minutes from Cedar Field, this harbor offers whale watching, sea kayaking, and excellent western views of the Wasp Islands; a smaller collection of islands just outside of Deer Harbor.
West Sound is only a little over a mile away from Cedar Field. A nice walk on country lanes. There is a public dock and a great restaurant, King Fish Inn, that has wonderful evening meals.
The Ferry Landing, where you will arrive at Orcas Island, is 5 minutes from Cedar Field. The Ferry Landing also boasts a variety store, small hotel with restaurant, and assorted shops.
Eastsound is the main and largest town on Orcas Island. It is approximately 8 minutes from Cedar Field. There are restaurants, shops, large food market, library, and great views of the Sound!
Moran State Park is over 5000 acres, the largest State Park in the islands and the 4th largest in WA State. 5 lakes. 30 miles of trails. Mt. Constitution rises to 2,407' and offers 360 degree views!

Place was beautiful!! Both TV's did not work, (all 8 of us tried to figure it out and failed.) Watched movies and played games instead. Wireless worked really well, just at bit slow. Nice little fenced in yard if you have small pets. Did not like having to take your garbage home with us. Still, was a great week-end.
Owner response:Thanks for the positive review. Sounds as though it would be a good idea to have a quick reference guide at both televisions for easy operation. Glad you had an enjoyable time at Cedar Field.

"We had a great time at Cedar Field Vacation house on Saturday. It was a really short stay and we really wished we had stayed longer. It was a real good vacation and we really look forward to doing this again in the future. I’d probably mail you in a while about reservation for next year. The kitchens, fire pit, volley ball courts, indoor games, clean bed and bathrooms were all perfect and all our families really enjoyed the experience. There were hardly anything to complain about as everything was there right where we wanted it. If anything, I’d say we had a little trouble figuring out how the heater worked and it got a bit toasty in the night as the default settings heated up the place to over 75. Didn’t realize there was a time zone aspect to it until next day morning."
