About this property
A private peaceful getaway in the middle of a 5 acre historic orchard from 1895.
Our location is private and peaceful, yet close to all the amenities of the main village of Eastsound. The property lies at the base of Buck Mtn., and is one of the original homesteads on the island. Our orchard is one of the few surviving from 1895 - most of the apple and pear trees (30+) are still robust producers! The original foundation is just behind the garden. The cottage was finished in 2016 by Orcas locals, using local wood. The heat is radiant in-floor- we appreciate the quiet and convenience of it . We also took care to provide appliances: full size refrigerator; full size oven w/ stovetop; full size washer dryer; dishwasher. For babies: high chair and Graco Pack n Play. Bathroom amenities include: towels, TP, hair dryer, liquid shampoo and conditioner. The beds (queen downstairs and king upstairs) are very comfy. Extra sheets, throws and blankets are stored in the downstairs bedroom closet. There is a picnic table for you to enjoy eating in the orchard, a porch to hang out and watch the deer graze; outdoor rockers and lounging chairs, and a bbq. There are games and badminton games in the outdoor storage bin next to the cottage: bocce ball, corn hole, etc. Wireless internet is also available, as well as a TV for streaming. We have lived on Orcas for over 30 years (my husband, Jim, even longer) and raised our two kids here. We look forward to hosting you at The Cottage in the Orchard, happy to share our knowledge of our community! We have an active vr permit with San Juan County.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Catherine Ferran
Jim and I met here on Orcas in 1991. I was a "Hollywood Refugee" and he hailed ten years prior from So Cal, as well. Before we knew it, we were raising 2 children together in what we consider to be one of the best places in the world to do so. After downsizing from a home on the mountain side above us, we built the main log home (behind the cottage) and moved in 2006. We had an opportunity to start building the cottage and completed it in 2016. We’re both retired now, and our cottage revenue helps us stay on this beautiful island!
Why they chose this property
The building of our cottage was a dream fulfilled, that only took us about 10 years to complete! We love living in the middle of a historic orchard.
What makes this property unique
The cottage sits in the middle of a 5 acre plus apple and pear orchard that was planted in 1895, when Orcas was the hub of fruit production for the region! Our trees still bear fruit- enough for us to host a cider press every year! This is a quiet, private and overall peaceful setting that is conveniently located near the main town of Eastsound and its amenities.
