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.
