About this property

Sea Forever Guest House.Stunning Views of Sea & Mountains. Pet Friendly.Quiet.

Come rest and rejuvenate your soul in this cozy studio cottage, called SEA FOREVER GUEST HOUSE, tucked high up into the side of Buck Mountain. Breathe in the sparkling views of the Salish Sea, home of whales and other marine and bird life, from your own glider bench. On clear days, the snow topped Canadian and US Cascades, featuring Mt. Baker as the special guest star, will take your breath away. On summer nights, relax around a crackling fire in the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a glass of wine and a good book on a sunny day, soothed by the gentle sounds of the nearby brook, water fall and birds. On winter nights, warm your toes near the living room wood stove. Your host, whose home is nestled nearby but buffered from sight by dwarf pines, rhodies and roses, can answer your questions. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with stove, full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee grinder and maker, toaster oven, toaster and a selection of local herbal teas and coffee. The luxurious king bed with pillow top is appointed with a goose down comforter and ultra soft sheets while the bath offers thick, fluffy towels. Soak in the silence in this ultra quiet, forested setting, your only visitors the deer and a mated pair of eagles! Free wireless WiFi keeps you in touch with the outside world should this be your desire. Charming Eastsound, with many delightful restaurant choices and shops, is only a 10 minute drive, as are hiking trails and Moran State Park. Watch the sunrise over the mountains and the sailboats below right from the cozy comfort of your bed. Very dog friendly, but please know dogs may not be left in the cottage unsupervised.

The cottage is clean and is stocked thoughtfully with everything you need, the hosts are gracious, the garden is lush, and if the weather is right you wake up to a stunning view of Mt. Baker! Easily the best VRBO we've stayed in.

The Best On The Island

We've been staying at Sea Forever annually for years, and it feels as much like home as any place possibly could. The hosts are wonderful, warm people who truly care about the comfort of their guests, and the quality of the accommodations they offer. Possibly one of the best views on the island, regularly updated linens, and very well supplied kitchen make this the best choice in the area.

Love this place!

We'd stayed here the first time 2 years ago and forest fire smoke obscured the view. This time the view was fantastic! The place itself is beautiful and super clean. The owners are great and super easy to work with. And now there are goats! :-)

Relaxing place to stay. Erna, Toshi and David.

It is a great place to stay and enjoy the peacefulness and healing power of silence and nature . The view was spectacular from our very cozy studio . Also, It is a dog friendly place . Our dog had a lot of fun and met handsome dog Toby who is the guardian of the house. I wish we will come back in a nearest future .

Lovely view , nice studio

Comfortable weekend stay on Orcas. We didn’t cook much and the kitchen was very well outfitted. Loads of hummingbirds, nice gardens and incredible views. The only thing g I would change was the bed, needs replacing.

View from this cabin is everything

We loved our stay at this little cottage. The views of sunrises were gorgeous. Mount Baker stood proud and tall with sun rising behind it. Cabin is also very well equipped and stocked for kitchen, linens, toiletries and books, board game etc. Hosts were kind and their dog, Toby stole my heart. There is no TV in the cabin or a dishwasher, but it is mentioned in property description. We used our laptop to watch movies in the evening, by the fire. The property is about 4 miles from the main town, so plan your groceries and meals accordingly. Overall a wonderful experience, would love to stay here again.

Beautiful Cottage with Million Dollar view

We stayed 2 nights at this beautiful cottage and it was wonderful and only 10 minutes from Eastsound. Linda is a wonderful host who is knowledgeable of the local area and ready to provide suggestions and recommendations. Even with the house next door it felt secluded and comfortable. The listing pictures are very accurate. The bed was very comfortable and I usually have trouble with beds and my back. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, including local coffee and grinder to make fresh tasty coffee in the morning. Brad was quick to answer any maintenance issues, and Toby is just adorable. We simply loved our stay and if we return to Orcas in the future, we hope to stay there again. I highly recommend for any couple wishing to have a nice quiet get away on the island.

The view from this property is spectacular. You can sit on the porch and see Mount Baker and watch the boats go by. Very relaxing. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed the small yard as well. Our dogs are not diggers though and the fenced yard around the house is a beautiful garden - it could be stressful if your dog has a tendency to dig. We also got visits from owners dog so if your dogs aren’t friendly that can be an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and the lovely gardens are very peaceful. Finally be aware that the gravel driveway is a bit steep and parking spot next to cottage is narrow. Our truck was really tight in the spot and took some maneuvering in and out. We also used 4WD to not spin tires on gravel on the way up.

This stay has been extraordinary. We really enjoyed our time here. Linda has gone above and beyond in providing a wonderful, magical place to spend our vacation time. The view is breathtaking. I grew up in Washington, but the beauty of this country never gets old.The home was immaculate. Pay close attention to her directions to drive there from the ferry.If I had one suggestion, it would be to replace the toilet. It sits so low, it makes it difficult for an older person. Despite that, we would go back in a heartbeat!

Splendid Place!

Linda and Brad's cottage on the side of the mountain is extraordinary. In addition to the view of Puget Sound, Canada, and other islands, it's a sanctuary of wild flowers, giant trees, a small fenced in garden outside the cottage door, and more hummingbirds and songbirds than I've ever seen. The cottage itself has the perfect layout, comfy bed, easy places to hang out, we couldn't have asked for more. The hosts were easygoing, positive, and very responsive to anything we needed. If you want to find your bliss, you'll find it here!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Bannerman

Host profile image
Living on Orcas is a 50-year-ago dream-come-true for me. In 1964, I landed in Mt. Vernon, a freshman at Mt. Vernon High School after a young life of profound difficulties and challenges. During those high school years, I would visit the San Juans often, and remember in particular a high school graduation bike trip to Orcas. Throughout my life travels, I have thought often about those sweet days on Orcas and wondered if I might live here one day. I've worked hard and dreamed sweet. . . and now, finally, here I am. And I want to share it with you. I've taught high school English for 30 years and now have a private practice in counseling. I adore helping others, caring for the earth, and celebrating the beauty of this island and this home. Life is so full of beauty if we are willing to set aside the hustle and bustle of surviving and live just in the moment. Come here to do just that. Listen to the wind whip through the pines and firs in winter. Steady your gaze upon the purple Cascades in the evening sunset, the distant twinkling lights of a city unaware of us at its feet. Welcome the quiet visit of a doe and her fawn, hoping for an apple treat offered from your hand. Come celebrate the spectacular gift of life with me here in this quiet and very special oasis.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a home with light. I wanted a home with the sound of a tumbling creek nearby and the sight of a mated pair of eagles weaving a magic dance in the sky and using the limbs of a fir tree for rest in sight from my bedroom window. i wanted the charm of a bookstore, filled with the smell of fresh brewed coffee and a choice of books about lofts and Hemmingway only minutes from my backdoor. I have it here and want to share it with you. You who are hungry for quiet and beauty.

What makes this property unique

This, more than any other guest home you will find, offers you spectacular views and profound quiet. Twinkling lights at night. Purple mountain views at dusk or morning. Vigorous walks on a forested road any time of day at all.
