Our family of 4 (Two children ages 4 and 2) wanted a getaway from Montana mudseason. We packed up the car and made our way to Orcas. We were so happy to spend 7 nights at the PineCone Cabin. From the beginning, the process of renting from Ken and Karen was smooth. We felt so at home and so relaxed the entire time. No exaggeration, while at the house the only sounds we heard were the ocean waves, eagles soaring, hummingbirds buzzing, seagulls calling, and other natural, peaceful sounds. We were in heaven. The kids explored the beach at various times each day and loved discovering shells and huge purple and orange starfish at low tide. We saw porpoise and seals and watched the resident eagles coming and going from their beautiful nest up the road. Even though it was chilly, we slept with the window open and relaxed to the sound of the ocean. The house had everything we needed... everything. It was so convenient-especially with kids. The location of the house was perfect for our family. We rode bikes, took walks from the house and loved every minute of it... Getting to town for coffee shops, the bookstore, library, stores, and restaurants was so easy! This is not to be missed. A wonderful time! Thank you Ken and Karen!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Most of your week was showery, but it was really great to wave as we saw you bicycling, walking, etc. We always have said, vacations are what you make of them. We knew you were doing just that. It was nice that you took the time to come see us during your vacation to comment on the house and the fun you were having. Sometimes, when we are having to work...we can "vacation" vicariously by knowing our guests are having a good time! Thanks for writing and staying with us.

This beautiful waterfront home is simply the best equipped rental we have ever seen. Absolutely everything needed for a 3 generation vacation is provided, from the baby high chair, dishes and bedding, to the comfy rocker, slippers and luxury king bed for Gramma & Grampa. The place was spotlessly clean, the view just breathtaking. Thanks for a grand time.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Many thanks for taking time to share your experience with us. We want you to be comfortable and appreciate knowing we have succeeded.

Orcas Pinecone Cabin provided a lovely homebase for a group of friends looking to enjoy a weekend getaway. We traveled to the island to participate in the Orcas Island 25K trail race. The cabin was well situated on a quiet road between the town of Eastsound and Moran State Park. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a beautiful view and two complementary bottles of wine. The home was well appointed, clean and comfortable with plenty of space for everyone to relax. We enjoyed the hot tub, exploring the beach and sightseeing around the island. Thank you for helping to make our trip one we will remember fondly.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Your group might be the first group of runners we've ever had stay with us! Thanks for considering us as your home base and we hope the hot tub soothed your tired muscles after such a long run. Thank you, K&K

My family's Christmas present to each other--3 beautiful nights on Orcas together. The house is lovely and in impeccable condition. Every time we needed something we turned around and there it was. Felt like a secluded hideaway even though it was just a few minutes away from town. The kids loved the "games cupboard" and we loved the amazing views from the upstairs master suites. I would highly recommend the house to any family (or famiies) who needed space and wanted to get away.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: The holidays with family are a very special time and we're so pleased they were shared in our vacation home. The game closet now has even more new games, so come back and spend some more special moments with us on Orcas!

My husband and I and our two kids along with my extended family including grandfather, sister-in-law, husband and three teenage niece and nephews, for a total of 10 people, stayed at the Pinecone Cabin and could not have been more pleased! We didn't want to leave :-) The cabin is very well laid out for groups such as this as it has private toilets/bathrooms for all four bedrooms! The bedrooms are large and very comfortable and the bunkbed room off of one of the master bedrooms was just perfect for the two teenage girl cousins to have their own "hang out" area. The cabin is remarkably comfortable and furnished and equipped extremely well. Highly recommend this cabin for its amenities as well as beautiful and convenient location. We look forward to returning!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

We had our family at Pinecone Cabin this past week and it was outstanding. The location is just a couple of miles outside of Eastsound, which is delightful and has everything we needed. The house itself has a stunning view all the way to Canada. It was immaculate and well stocked with kitchen gear, towels, and very nice furnishings. It's the kind of place our whole family would like to go back to!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Your visit is important to us and we're very pleased you took the time to share your positive review. We hope Pinecone Cabin afforded you happy family memories and we look forward to your return. K&K

This is such a lovely, clean and well appointed place to relax, cook gourmet dinners and sit in the living room with friends talking and laughing. The photos attracted us to this place and we were not disappointed. The views from the deck were spectacular and we enjoyed sitting on the logs on the beach watching a few seals swim by. We had a great time cycling around Orcas and shopping in the lovely shops in nearby Eastsound. When we arrived, there was a special treat on the dining room table......bottles of wine! We enjoyed them that night with our gourmet meal. The bathrooms are very clean and huge with lots of towels. The beds are very comfortable. We would definitely return here on our next visit to Orcas Island. Thank you.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Hi there, Thanks very much for taking the time to write and to tell of your adventures while staying with us at Pinecone Cabin. We're glad the seals came by while you were at the beach! Please come see us again. We're having a great Indian summer right now!

My husband and I rented Pinecone Cabin for a family vacation and were so happy with our week there. We had 9 people including 2 young (3 & 6) children. The house was perfect for our group and everyone loved the layout of the house, beautiful views, hot tub and beach. We also enjoyed seeing the eagle each day.....just a beautiful location. The house is centrally located, so it was easy to get to anywhere we wanted to go on the island. The owner of the house stopped by to check on us midway through our stay and to see if we needed anything....a very kind gesture that made us feel very welcome.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Hi, It was out pleasure to have you stay in our Pinecone Cabin. You were great guests and we appreciate you sharing your good times with us! Do visit again and we'll ask George, the Eagle to also stop by again, too.

My wife, two kids and I went with our two friends and their daughter as well as my aunt and uncle. The first thing I noticed when we arrived was the large deck and fabulous view. The next thing I noticed were the two bottles of wine waiting for us (thank you very much for that by the way, nice touch). The cabin was well decorated and CLEAN, not that im a clean freak but when staying away from home i really appreciate it. The rooms are very spacious as well as the bathrooms and we never felt crowded. We fished from the shore and saw half a dozen eagles as well as a dolphin, otters and seals...no whales tho. This really is a nice cabin with lots of privacy and ALL the amenities, in fact we were trying to figure out what the cabin DIDN'T have. Thank you for renting out such a wonderful place. P.S. If your looking for something fun for your kids to do in the cabin have them try counting all the pinecones throught the home.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We are so glad the wildlife came out for your visit. We like to tease folks that we cue the animals to show themselves for guests. The abundant wildlife is one of the main reasons we love the forested north shore. We have tried to be thorough in supplying the home with many things one might want while on vacation. Thank you for your kind words.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2002
About the owner: We moved to Orcas Island in 1985. We rented this rental sight unseen when it was an extremely modest, one story house and lived in it for three years. When a man from Austria purchased it, he hired us to manage it as a rental. The only change he made was to change the carpeting. After about 15 years, we had the opportunity to purchase this house from him. We named it Pinecone Cabin and remodeled the downstairs and a few years later added on the second story. We decorated the house with all high quality furnishings with a pinecone theme. Folks always say the house is much larger inside than it looks. So we always smile when they and we joke about it being called a 'cabin'. We are pleased this house has come 'full circle' to us.
Why the Owner Chose Eastsound:
We have lived on Orcas Island since 1985 and always wanted to own a rental to share with other visitors.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
One can enjoy a soak in the outdoor hotub. Turning off its jets, you'll hear only silence. The rental is located conveniently close to town, but is amazingly private with one immediate part-time only neighbor. The views looking north show islands, ocean, mountains and ski resort lights over 40 miles away. The weather presents an ever changing palette. Deer, eagles and raccoons are often on the property. Many have seem Orca whales and dolphins swimming by.
