Om boendet

Vackra Mountainwaterview Hem pÄ Gorgeous Orcas Island

Boende: 5 sovrum, 3. 5 badrum, vardagsrum, matsal, gourmet kök, medierum (lite), lekrum, bastu, badtunna, dÀck med utsikt, massor av garderober, verkstad, garage, uthus ... (sover bekvÀmt 10 , kan sova upp till 12.)

Detta Àr ett fantastiskt hus pÄ en underbar ö i en av de vackraste och mest romantiska platserna i vÀrlden. Det tar ca 3 timmar (driv- och fÀrja) att komma dit frÄn Seattle. Eller sÄ kan du ta ett litet plan frÄn Seattle pÄ cirka trettio minuter. Har din semester, get-together, privat tid, eller retrÀtt i detta bekvÀma, tillmötesgÄende hus, som ligger pÄ magnifika, magiska Orcas Island. Ligger pÄ fem tunnland, maximera vyer med bibehÄllen integritet, Àr detta hus rymliga och privat, med hÀnförande utsikt vÀster och norr till Kanada upp sundet Georgien. UmgÄs och koppla av med vÀnner och familj. Titta pÄ vackra solnedgÄngar, observera örnar och rÄdjur, bli underhÄllen av kolibrier, frodas i badtunnan medan du stirrar pÄ stjÀrnorna.

Detta hus har mĂ„nga boende och val. Det har varit smakfullt och omsorgsfullt inredda (av Ă€garen / designer / arkitekt) med komfort i Ă„tanke. Det finns en huvud trappa och en sekundĂ€r trappa. Matbordet plats 8-10 och det Ă€r en charmig, rött, -enameled, gasolspis / vĂ€rmare i rummet. Den öppna planen sveper frĂ„n restauranger till vardagsrummet dĂ€r det finns en katedral tak, stora, vedeldad spis och fönster frĂ„n golv till tak som ramar in magnifik utsikt. Köket Ă€r fullt utrustat med en Sub-Zero kylskĂ„p, huvud diskbĂ€nk och bar handfat (bĂ„da med avyttringar), sortimentet, varmluftsugn, mikrovĂ„gsugn, mixer, vĂ„ffla-maker, och alla redskap och verktyg du behöver för att förbereda hĂ€rliga mĂ„ltider och snacks . Det finns en stor, walk-in skafferi. Den privata befĂ€lhavaren svit har ett sovrum med en lyxigt bekvĂ€m queen size-sĂ€ng. BefĂ€lhavaren Badrummet har en king size-bad, dusch, tvĂ„ handfat och bastu. Garderober i master svit Ă€r storleken pĂ„ en lĂ€genhet pĂ„ Manhattan (ok, nĂ€stan, men en har en fönsterplats och inbyggd byrĂ„). Barnen har en vinge alla sina egna Ă€ven med tvĂ„ sovrum och tvĂ„ twin-size-sĂ€ngar i varje. En intilliggande solbelyst, söderlĂ€ge badrum (med dusch och enorma badkar) och tvĂ„ sĂ€nkor ge barnen gott om utrymme. Medierna rum med soffa, fĂ„tölj, video och cd-spelare och stor TV-skĂ€rm (med massor av CD-skivor, men ingen TV-anslutning), ligger i anslutning till barnens sovrum. I gĂ€strummet har en annan fantastisk, hotell-kvalitet queen size-sĂ€ng, och en intilliggande badrum med dusch. Det finns tvĂ„ rum som vi inte ens vet hur man mĂ€rka (sovrum? Yoga rum? Ballet rum? Lekrummen?) Även tvĂ€ttstugan Ă€r enorm. Under hela huset finns smĂ„ kryp inom garderober. De naturliga ceder dĂ€ck strĂ€cka hela vĂ€stra sidan lĂ€ngden pĂ„ huset, frĂ„n norr till söder. Den privata badtunnan pĂ„ dĂ€ck omges av Madronas och vintergröna trĂ€d, men Ă€ndĂ„ har Peek-a-boo utsikt över Crescent Beach i en riktning och Kanada i en annan. Det finns ett teakbord och stolar med solparaply för fantastisk uteservering och solstolar, bra för solbadning.

GĂ„ ner för berget förbi Crescent Beach till Eastsound Village, cirka en mil frĂ„n huset, dĂ€r du hittar butiker, restauranger, kafĂ©er, bokhandel, och dagligvaror. Ta in en sommar kammarmusikkonsert i stan. Vandra eller cykla pĂ„ nĂ€rliggande Mount konstitutionen i Moran State Park eller vandra den Ă„tervunna Turtle Back Mountain Trail. Paddla kajak, valskĂ„dning, eller bara vandra. Spela spel, avsluta pussel. (Detta Ă€r en Bananagrams vĂ€nlig anlĂ€ggning!) Skicka dina barn till klassisk Orkilla sommarlĂ€ger och vara pĂ„ samma ö, men med vissa vuxna tid av ditt eget. Även, vĂ„gar vi sĂ€ga, gör ditt arbete hĂ€r. Sitta vid matbordet, blicken frĂ„n datorn (med hög hastighet anslutning) till synes oĂ€ndlig utsikt. Det Ă€r inspirerande.

Huset Àr sÄ mycket söt att nÀr vi Àr dÀr vi alltid lÄng tid att stanna. Det Àr perfekt för familjesemestrar, Äterseenden, vÀns tid borta, författarens retreater, eller vad som helst. Det Àr en magisk, minnesvÀrd plats. Kom, njut hÀr.

Our family group of 8 had a wonderful time at Max and Mindy’s home. The house is beautiful, with every amenity thoughtfully provided. The location is perfect for exploring Orcas Island, and we loved sitting on the back deck gazing at the scenery after our busy days. The hot tub was a special treat after long hiking days. Thank you for everything!

Peaceful and relaxing!

We really loved staying at this home. The owners were great and easily contacted when we had a very minor issue and couldn't reach the local property manager. It is a lovely home and very well stocked. Close to town and Moran State Park yet you feel secluded. Next time we come to Orcas we will definitely stay there again!

Comfortable, spacious home with great views

Six adults and one small Shitzu enjoyed this comfortable home with spectacular views to the west of Puget Sound. Both the inside and outside spaces were wonderful. We had 5 nights with beautiful sunsets over the water and were sad to leave. The house is well equipped for cooking and we took advantage of the spacious kitchen for breakfasts and most dinners. The location was great - up the mountain far enough to be away from the noises from Eastsound over the 4th of July weekend. It was still a short drive to town for shopping and conveniently located for a trip to Moran State Park for a picnic and a couple of hikes. It was also convenient for our Deer Harbor whale watching tour (highly recommended). The hosts were responsive to inquiries and the check out drill was less onerous than most of our other VRBO stays. Twelve thumbs up on this stay.

lovely week

We were a couple families staying on Orcas while our children went to a day camp on the island. A workcation! The house was a short drive to town, camp, and Moran. It was so relaxing working with the amazing view each day. The house is huge, and we were quite spread out. The kitchen is well-appointed, the sunsets spectacular. We only used the hot tub once or twice. (I suspect it would have been used more if it wasn't summer.) The kids really enjoyed the jack-and-jill bedroom set-up. The bonus bedroom is really a suite -with a living area (and futon) joined to a bedroom. This suite does not have easy access to a bathroom, which other reviewers have mentioned. But waking up to the views definitely make the hassle of 'middle of the night trips downstairs' worth it.

Great views and spacious. Needs updates.

We just spent a week during the 4th of July holiday at this very spacious house. The views were amazing and the distance to Eastsound was great! The hot tub was our favorite amenity of the place and worked very well. During the 4th of July, we had a pretty good (slightly obstructed) view of the local fireworks show. The house could use some updates. There were curtain rods in many rooms, but no curtains. We had to rig up some blankets on the window to have some additional coverage. There were some holes in the wall, a musty smell in one room and some other aspects of the house that could definitely use some attention. It's clearly been a loved house and a few upgrades could go a long way to make this house truly special. Orcas Island is an amazing place and we are thrilled that we could have such a special time with our family!

Gorgeous views, modern luxuries, and sleep space for 10!

This 5 bedroom property in Eastsound is a dream come true for a large family wanted to vacation under 1 roof. There is sleeping space for 10 people (we had 3 couples and 4 kids). The large and private master bedroom suite on the main floor is absolute luxury, with a sauna, soaking tub, and big shower. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each (joined by a bathroom). The one inconvenience is that one of the queen bedrooms does not have access to a bathroom without walking through the other queen bedroom or going downstairs to a hall half-bath. This may be a privacy issue for some folks. There is also a den upstairs as well as a "bonus room" for exercise, yoga, or just spreading out. The home is equipped with games and toys galor, especially a bunch of stuffed animals hidden hither and yon for the younger folks. The kitchen is large, very well equipped, and convenient for many cooks at the same time and the dining table can accommodate 12 people easily. There were dining room chairs for all. The views from the floor to ceiling windows look out over the sound and are breath-taking - even as the fog rolls in. Sunsets are also spectacular. There is a large hot tub that worked wonderfully and was absolutely clean. The home was spotless as we moved in, and the owners provide more towels and linens than I have ever seen in a vacation rental.

Perfect house for our big family!

Our family summer vacation was fabulous with this wonderful house as base camp. The location was perfect. It was a quick trip down the hill to the perfectly charming town of Eastsound and convenient to Moran State Park. The layout of the house was ideal for us and our five children. The master suite was private and on the opposite side of the house from the rooms upstairs for the children. We loved the Finish style sauna in the master bath. The screened in porch off the master was perfect for leaving the French doors open all night to feel the cool air and listen to the breeze in the trees. The media/game room upstairs was a favorite with our kids. We even watched several classic Disney movies that we had never seen thanks to the wonderful collections of films provided. The outside space was just lovely. Two decks overlook the forest with ocean views. Perfect spot for coffee in the morning and wine at night. We spent lots of time outside, when we weren't away hiking and exploring the island. The kids loved playing in the forest. We found sweet tree frogs, snails, and deer visited daily in the early morning. Orcas is an enchanted place for sure. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The property was clean and well maintained. The property was private which was important to us. We hope to visit Orcas Island again and this would be our first choice for lodging. We wish we could transport this floor-plan to Texas it fit our family and lifestyle so perfectly. If you visit Orcas Island don't miss out on Brown Bear Baking for the best croissants and salmon quiche. Visit Atelier Vintage Market for lovely gifts to take home. And don't forget the Farmers Market to pick up some wonderful preserves from Girl Meets Dirt. And your trip wouldn't be complete without visiting Darvill's Bookstore for great local hiking guides, lovely coffee table books filled with photos of the San Juan Islands, and your favorite book to sit on the deck to read. We look forward to our next visit!

Om vÀrden

Mindy and Maxwell Cameron Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
We purchased this house in 2007 when we walked in at sunset and the view took our breath away. We are a family of four, a mother who is an architect (trained at MIT) and a father who is museum professional. The mother grew up in New Jersey and the father in Texas. We met when we were each living in San Francisco and became inextricably bound by our shared sense of humor and love of culture. For many years, we have run a reasonably successful design business doing educational-purpose projects. Of course, as our kids have grown, we have not gone to Orcas Island as often as we have wished, despite its incredible magnetic draw. Whenever we are there we have a fabulous, memorable time and we hate to leave. Playing, relaxing, or working here -- staring out across the water and islands. It is altogether GLORIOUS. Orcas and the house are magical.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

We live and work in Seattle and wanted to have a remote get-away house. We looked at all of the islands and rural properties we could, and even considered designing and building our own home. But, the nature of building in so remote a place would entail a process that would be excruciatingly slow and we were impatient to have a place. This home was The One that we fell in love with after seeing dozens of other possibilities. So many people we know (and some we don't) have had remarkable moments on Orcas -- life-changing, inspirational, poignant moments. We are convinced that Orcas is the best and most phenomenal of the San Juan Islands. And we love this house and the island.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows in the main rooms that face the incredible view are enough to make us want to stay forever. The spacious, commodious kitchen made me into a cook (previously, I was only a reluctant and occasional kitchen-dweller). The house with all of its rooms and closets within closets is a hide-and-seek paradise for kids, and the house is so large that you can easily find privacy or company. Every day there is something special here. The first night we stayed here, a deer ran across the deck. One day, a bald eagle settled for a while in the meadow below. Hummingbirds visit us often. In winter, looking out over an artist's dream view while being warmed by the heat of the fireplace is the best feeling in the world. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars underscored that we had made absolutely the right choice. I am not kidding. It is a dream come true.
