Lovely and private, friendly greeting by two rambunctious but respectful dogs who stay outside. Nice hot tub. Outdoor grill situation needs a bit of improvement, A full-on grill would have worked better. The range is older, not quite fully operational.

We had a lovely stay at this charming and unique home! Our kids especially loved visiting with the two dogs and cat of the owners across the street. Four stars instead of five because some of the linens and the bathroom could use a little refreshing as well as the many eaves and nooks could use a good sweeping. Overall a great deal on the island and would recommend.

Cozy, relaxing
We had a wonderful stay here. The property is large and serene and we enjoyed taking walks (accompanied by the sweet dogs) in the evenings. The pets were unexpectedly one of the best parts of our stay! Each morning the dogs and cat would be waiting outside our door. I am not a dog person but these dogs are so sweet, calm, and well behaved that we all fell in love with them. The owners were so kind and helpful, providing us with firewood and tips about places to visit on the island. Would love to return!

Sweetest family stay
All of our kids were over the moon to discover the gnome house — we hadn’t told them any details of our planned stay. They loved the cozy, snuggly sleeping spots, the breakfast nook, the playset, the hot tub, the sweet and friendly dogs, the endless opportunities for epic games of Hide and Seek. Eastsound had lovely spots for ice cream and outdoor exploring, plus a phenomenal bakery co-op. The Gnome House was such a wonderful, peaceful place for all of us to connect and rest and we can’t wait to come back. .

Gorgeous retreat
What a wonderful escape on Orcas Island. The property is just as pictured, if not cuter. A short drive from the ferry though definitely follow the directions from Meg and Bob, not Google. I also really appreciated getting some dog and cat time. This is a great base for exploring the island and a nice retreat with the hot tub and views from the point/play area. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely rent again.

Native Pacfic Northwesterners and had never been to Orcas Island. What a treat! Loved the house from the moment we pulled in at dusk and it was lit up and welcoming. Obvious care was taken to make us feel comfy. Great homebase for day long adventures around the island.

Absolutely Perfect!
The Gnome House was like something out of a storybook, only better. Gorgeous woodwork everywhere, so cozy and exquisite. The hot tub under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day, which we spent exploring the island, and the Connors' property. The kitchen and BBQ were just what we needed, well equipped, and the wonderful bay window alcove dining area was great.
We will definitely be back to the Gnome House!

Magnificent
We’ve made it our mission to seek out unique stays. The Gnome House definitely ranks number one. It was even more warm, comfortable and whimsical than we’d anticipated. From the craftsmanship, decor, and scattered gnomes inside and out, there is a wonder to see wherever you look. Sunny and Shep, the dogs, were a delight. Meg was kind, cheerful, and helpful. Lucky us to have found this stay.

Charming Old World Feel
We loved our stay at the Gnome House for our kids’ spring break trip! Our 8 year old believes she saw a fairy in the sleeping nook before she went to bed. The kiddos were enchanted by the magic of the place. The owner’s pets were so friendly and sweet. Our 4 year old was so sad to leave the animals. You can tell much love and thought went into the design and execution of this cottage. The playground was awesome with an amazing view! Thanks to Meg and Bob for giving us a lovely vacation!

Highly recommend for a family getaway!
We recently enjoyed another wonderful stay at this charming gnome-themed cabin, and it was just as delightful as our first visit! The cabin's whimsical structure and adorable gnome decor create a truly magical atmosphere. Our children were thrilled with the small playset, and the hot tub provided a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.
The cabin, while older, has a lot of character, and we appreciated the cozy, vintage feel. We did notice some older appliances and a few spiderwebs, but this did not detract from our overall experience. The charm of the place more than made up for these minor quirks.
The owners are incredibly responsive and kind, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our kids absolutely adored their friendly dogs, which was a wonderful bonus. This was our second stay with these wonderful hosts, and we’ll certainly be back in the future.

As charming as it looks, but...
The Gnome house is absolutely as charming as the pictures show. It's not a gnome-like facade on a shack, it really is straight out of a fairy tale. The only hesitancy is that appliances and bathroom fixtures have not been updated since ... the early 70's(?). So be aware that the all-electric stove, older fixtures, and no dishwasher may slow you down a bit. But "slow" is likely the reason you're here.

Very fun place to stay but needs some updating
It is a magical island and this is a very fun place to stay especially if you have kids with you. The people who run it are very kind and when an issue occurred very easy to get a hold of. We had a water issue that was fixed within 24 hours but we were nervous that first night. The oven is old so it just doesn't seal properly so it didn't cook properly, things we worked around. They have a new wifi system but the logging in wasn't working like it said it should. I'm sure we could have asked about it but our phones actually had service there so we just didn't use it. The island isn't that big so even though you are on one side you can still do everything. We went to the other side easily one day. It is a special place and I believe the location, and uniqueness out weigh some of the issues. Also they warned us about the gps so we did what they said but it still took us to the wrong neighborhood (I believe it was trying to take us to the back of the house). I think they need to send step by step directions from the ferry. But once you find the street it's easy to find.

The kids loved the place and the hosts were very friendly, so I gave an OK rather than Poor rating. The listing said the place had two bedrooms and that is a serious misrepresentation. The one actual bedroom had no door, so after we put the kids to bed, the adults could not have a conversation or make any noise, or the kids would be disturbed. The second bedroom was not a bedroom at all, but just a cubbyhole. There was a shelf to put phone and small suitcase, but no floor. I needed a stool to climb up into the cubbyhole and there was no privacy. The second night a swarm of what we thought were carpenter ants flew out of the wall and flew all around my (adult) daughter and freaked her out. When I told the hosts the next morning, they seemed very unconcerned with the the infestation. We left a day early because we couldn't bear the thought of the bugs again, but were not offerred any compensation except for a free future stay. We will not be back. There were two big dogs that greeted us on arrival, and were always there in front of the door. My grandson loved them, but my granddaughter would not go out on her own because of them. Some people love dogs, but not everyone does, so I think the dogs should be mentioned to the guests ahead of time.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Meg and Bob Connor
We have lived full time on Orcas Island since 1975, raising three sons, who are now married with children who love to visit their grand-parents. We have been happily married for 52 years!
We moved up here with a down payment and no jobs and over the years have done many things. We have worked, farmed, been in construction, operated heavy equipment, coached Little League for all three sons, participated in countless community activities, volunteered at the school, run two successful gift and clothing shops, designed and built several buildings including the amazing Gnome House, and remodeled our other vacation rental waterfront home, Maggie's Manor, using the outstanding design drawings of our eldest son, now an Architect.
We are involved in cutting edge restoration of marine habitat and just completed a 9 weir salmon ladder and planted over 1500 plants and trees over our estuarine and riparian areas. If you have a Facebook page, visit the Deer Harbor Stewardship Project page to see some of what we have been doing. We hope you will 'Like' it.
We have extensive backgrounds in skiing, sailing, cycling and mountaineering. We enjoy adventures and vacations with our children and grand-children.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We designed and built the Gnome House as a tribute to our Scandinavian heritage, and as a tribute to the place we first met in Kitzbuhel, Austria. It began as a family guesthouse and now for the past 25 years has been an extremely popular vacation rental, perfect for family vacations, romantic getaways, honeymoons, and special occasions galore.
It is located on our 140 acre estate, near our home, and also near our other wonderful vacation rental 4 bedroom waterfront home, called Maggie's Manor. We wanted to share our Orcas Island lifestyles with visitors from all over the world. We have on-going environmental restoration activities on our 3 streams, several ponds, magnificent 20 acre estuary, and 20 acre wildfowl marsh, as well as beautiful, productive farm and forest land. It is considered the most significant environmentally diverse San Juan Islands' property by local, state and federal environmental agencies.
The beauty and tranquility of Nature inspires everyone who visits.
Orcas Island is the most popular place in Washington to get married, and is the dream vacation spot for people all over the world, and we get to live here! And when visitors leave and we say 'goodbye', we always because we are happy to see them go, but rather because we are so happy that we don't have to leave this paradise!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
In addition to the extraordinary beauty and serenity of Nature,so inspiring to us all, the incredible good weather in Deer Harbor is one of the main reasons for living here. Deer Harbor on beautiful Orcas Island is located in the 'Rain Shadow' area of the Great Pacific Northwest enjoying only 23 inches of rain and over 260 sunny days annually. This means that we can enjoy the great outdoors all year long, hiking, biking, sailing, fishing, etc.
There have been documented over 80 species of birds frequenting the extremely vibrant freshwater marsh. There are a variety of environmental programs in progress. We work with scientists, students, and Native Americans on our restoration efforts. Our property is the site of the first white European settler on Orcas Island, Louis Cayou, who married into the Samish Nation in the mid-1800s. We are working with the Samish descendants of Cayou in our restoration efforts, and hope to have their annual Canoe Journey with about 60 canoes stop here in the future.
Should your dates not be available in this chalet, please see our other wonderful vacation rental homes: " Grandma and Grandpa’s Getaway for 2 adults + one child, Maggie’s Manor for up to 8 people, and in the off seasons, Maggie’s Getaway for up to 4 guests.
