Keep Nature Close in Orcas Lodging
If you're a nature lover, Orcas lodging is the place to be. Located on Orcas Island, the jewel of the San Juan Islands in Washington State, Orcas lodging places you right next to the biggest public recreational area in the Islands--Moran State Park--with over 5,000 acres of old-growth forest, hiking trails and beautiful scenery. For any mountain-climber, the view from the top of the San Juan Islands' tallest peak, Mt. Constitution, is not to be missed. If scaling a mountain wasn't how you wanted to spend your vacation, there's still plenty to do otherwise. The park has facilities for boating, fishing, camping, trail hiking and horseback riding as well.
Bring the Whole Family
When you choose to stay with San Juan Islands vacation rentals you often save significant amounts of money over what you would have spent on an expensive hotel or cruise. Saving money is always a good thing; it also enables those on tight budgets to vacation with friends and family because they can afford lodging for more people. Many Orcas cottages can accommodate the whole family. Some of the larger rentals can comfortably sleep 10-14 people. Consider the possibilities; how about a San Juan wedding where everybody can stay for an affordable price--and stay together no less?
Great Attractions at Your Fingertips
Because Orcas cottages and other rental homes are on an island, you don't have to go far to find great things to do while on your vacation. Experience a 3-hour guided kayak tour with Shearwater Adventures or go looking for the island's namesakes with an Eclipse Charters Orcas Island whale watching tour. If you'd rather stay on dry land try a peaceful bike ride through the island's many quaint little villages to meet the locals and enjoy the scenery. If you love nature, especially the ocean, then you're going to love Orcas Island.
