About this property
Deer Harbor Cottage on the Bluff
Your stay at The Cottage on the Bluff will be the highlight of your Orcas Island experience! This charming home is separate from the other Deer Harbor Cottages, perfect for those who want a little more privacy. Enjoy a lovely view of Deer Harbor, a handmade log bed, and log furnishings. The kitchenette has a mini-fridge, stovetop, toaster oven, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Outside, there are two decks facing Deer Harbor, with a four-person hot tub on the upper deck overlooking the Olympic Peninsula. The wildlife is abundant here, with deer, eagles, and hawks calling this property home.
This cottage enjoys a great location, with beautiful views of Deer Harbor, the Olympic Mountains, and the Lagoon. The historic Matthew’s Smokehouse is a short stroll across the property. The stunning landscapes of Moran State Park are 14 miles east, with the always-quiet Obstruction Pass State Park six miles beyond. Deer Harbor Reserve and Marina are only half a mile south.
