Wonderfully quiet and scenic stay. The unit is on the smaller side, but it's fine for a couple. Just be aware that if you have issues with climbing stairs, the second bedroom may not be usable for you. The hosts are wonderful.

What an idyllic location! Such a cute farmhouse on the owners property. Felt private because how the cottage was situated. Super close to Eastsound where the action & food are. Close to Moran State Park and lots of places to explore. King bed in loft super comfy and firm just how I liked it! Queen bed downstairs comfortable as well. Hosts were super responsive & very friendly! Would stay again. Could use a deep clean & couch upgrade but this wouldn’t deter me from another stay at this relaxing sanctuary.

This property was lovely and quiet. We especially appreciated the natural setting (great for birding) and the fully functional kitchen, which allowed us to cook full meals when it was hard to get dinner in town.A surprising hit was the puzzle toy Horse Academy, which entertained our kid for hours. There were many other games and toys as well. The lack of AC wasn't a problem, but we had to make sure to remember to open the windows in the evening to cool off the loft before bed. The beds were very large and comfortable.The hosts were friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated tips about navigating the ferry system ahead of our trip. Thank you to Cathy and Jim for a great stay.

Very pleasant stay

The cabin has everything we need. The bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and secluded and yet is not far from Moran State Park, north beach and the town. The only thing I would make suggestion is perhaps to change out the towels as they seem to be old.

Great for our Family

We really enjoyed our stay on Orcas Island! Perfect spot for us and our two kids (4-years and 10-months). It had everything we needed for the kids (high chair, travel crib, toys, etc.) and they loved seeing the deer and owl that came to visit in the evenings!

Absolutely loved every bit of this property and hospitality of the owners. Nothing like being in middle of beautifully groomed grounds, wildlife, games under the tree on table..then making meals inside. I only pray I can enjoy this place again!

Beautifully Quiet Retreat

I stayed here with my mom and we both loved it! The property is quiet and set back from the road for privacy. The owners live nearby, and are very responsive via text. Eastsound is a quick drive away, maybe a 30 minute walk for the adventurous. We loved having this little spot to retreat to at the end of the day. Thank you!

Orcas Island Getaway

Our stay at Jim & Cathy’s place was wonderful. The cabin is located in one of the most tranquil parts of the island. It is a very relaxing place that will surround you with nothing but nature and beautiful scenery. The cabin is spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped, great for cooking. Jim & Cathy made us feel welcome and were kind enough to offer us apples and pears from their orchard. We Highly recommend and would book this place again.

Loved our experience!

It was an ideal place for our Family. We came with two toddlers one in a crib and one still co sleeps. We really loved the experience of viewing the deer so close. When we got there there was no grill but we just communicated that that was how we were planning to feed ourselves the next two day, and one was brought out for us.

The perfect Eastsound hideaway

We had the most delightful and relaxing stay at Cathy and Jim’s cottage. Their property is secluded, quiet, and a perfect spot for solitude. It’s minutes away from the heart of Eastsound. We traveled there with our toddler and were pleasantly surprised at all the kid friendly additions - pack n play, kids’ books, toys, etc. Cathy and Jim were so lovely and generous. They checked in on us and provided some kitchen items when we realized we didn’t have what we needed. We felt so welcomed and taken care of while there. This was our first trip to Orcas and whenever we come back, we will definitely be staying here!

Relaxing stay with wildlife

Great stay for our first time on Orcas Island. Place is immaculate. Not too much decor on every surface like some places, so we could easily put our books on the night stands, binoculars on table, keys and wallet on kitchen counter, etc. Wildlife was the best part. Our 2 year old loved the caterpillars (we consider this wildlife! Ha ha) Really loved the addition of travel coffee mugs, thought that was unique. Beds are so amazing, we all slept like babies...even our actual infant baby! Jim and Cathy are so sweet. They felt like family that we hadn't seen in a while!

A Perfect Stay in an apple orchard

We loved our stay at Jim and Cathy's place. It was perfect. 1. You are close to town. You can walk there. 2. The house and space feel quiet and private. It is like an oasis on the property. 3. The house itself its lovely. Its very peaceful. The upstairs bed is really nice and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. 4. Jim and Cathy are great hosts. 5. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Great quiet place

This place is only a few minutes from the town, but a world away. It is in an old apple orchard. The unit is a separate building from the owners, but you won’t see their house u less you’re loooking out of the back windows. There’s a great porch with 4 chairs to relax and watch the many deer that visit the yard. The interior seems to be new, with a farmers sink and induction stove. The bathroom is very modern too. We had 4 adults staying, and the only downside is that it was a little tight for the 4 of us in the common areas. Still, it was worth dealing with that for the peace and quiet of this lovely cabin. I hope to return to Orcas Island and to stay in this great rental again.

The cabin is lovely! We really enjoyed relaxing on the porch and observing the deer. The hosts were also very nice and communicated well with us; they reached out beforehand to offer suggestions & met up with us so we could find the cabin and introduce us to their property.
