Quintessential Island Getaway på Orcas Island. Underbar utsikt! Från 199 $

Maggie's Getaway, en av de viktigaste semesterbostäderna i San Juan Islands, på Orcas Island är en solig, älskvärd familjestuga med två sovrum vid vattnet omgiven av spektakulär utsikt över Deer Harbor. Stort kök på 400 kvadratfot mycket välfylld. Stor badtunna strax utanför verandan, med en magnifik utsikt över vatten! Det finns till och med ett piano som du kan använda i det rymliga vardagsrummet.
Maggie's Getaway rymmer upp till 4 gäster inklusive barn; det finns dock ytterligare två sovrum i detta hus och ett andra badrum på övervåningen som kan hyras om en grupp behöver mer plats. Maggie's Getaway har minst två nätter än under Peak Seasons, när det är en minimum vistelse på 3 natt. När större grupper hyr hela huset, finns det alltid en vistelse på minst 3 nätter

Gå ut på den välkomnande verandan eller in i kommandovyn utomhus Spa, där du kan koppla av och titta på din egen bildvykortvyer över de mindre San Juanöarna och de snöklädda olympiska bergen i fjärran eller på nattblick på myriad av stjärnor på himlen och blinkande ankarljus för båtarna i vila i Deer Harbor.

Maggie's Getaway ligger högt över vår privata 300 "breda djupa vatten Deer Harbor strandlinje på 3 ½ tunnland med gott om välskötta gräsmattor. Blötlägg i solen, ren luft och vidsträckt utsikt från de fågelfyllda trädgårdarna. Håll skummel runt utomhuslägerelden medan du tittar på norrsken under den stjärnfyllda himlen på natten. Vandra genom vår privata 110 hektar stora djurliv och vilda naturliga ekologiska gårdar i hjärtat av Deer Harbor och leta efter Great Blue Heron, Bald and Golden Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, Osprey, River Otters, Raccoons, Black Tailed Deer och en mängd andra San Juan Islands vilda djur. En fågelns glädje!

Med detta Orcas Island-boende kanske du faktiskt vill laga dina egna måltider. Oavsett om du gillar att laga din egen krabba, grilla din egen lax, biffar eller gillar att laga varmkorv över öppen spis, kommer du att gilla västra sidan av Maggys utomhusmatlagningsområde och lägereld. Kanske förbereder du en jubileumsmiddag eller är värd för en liten fest eller bröllopsmottagning eller repetitionsmiddag. Det finns tillräckligt med utrymme i vårt kök för många kockar och hjälpare. Med fyra sänkor fördelade på tre separata områden finns det gott om utrymme för att förbereda en festlig gourmetmåltid. Servera på östra däck, västgårdens picknickområde eller matsalen med fantastisk utsikt över vattnet.

I recommend this home if you love a house overlooking the harbor, mountains, with a property to explore. It’s an older home with charm and nice amenities such as a modern kitchen, heat, a hot tub witnessing the stars. We are grateful to have been able to stay here

Quintessential Orcas Island retreat

This sweet, 1930s home is easy to settle into, and sets the stage for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The view of Deer Harbor from the living room and bedroom is spectacular. The hosts are thoughtful and generous in welcoming guests to explore their 100+ acre property. You’ll never want to leave!

Wonderful Orcas Home

We had such a wonderful time at Maggie’s Getaway. The house is beautifully set on the harbor and exudes a loving home. Meg and Bob Connor were terrific hosts! Unfortunately we had to leave a day earlier than expected but hope to come again soon for even longer! Our kids are already asking to return. Thanks again for a great stay on Orcas!

February stay

Maggie’s Manor was perfect for our family of 4. We spent most of our time exploring the island, hiking and boating. It was a great base camp with a huge kitchen to make our meals and a hot tub to warm up and relax in! It has a beautiful view of the harbor. The kids enjoyed walking up the hill to the play set. The dogs do come visit often but are quiet and friendly and the owners asked first before letting them out. The place could use a coat of paint and some updating but nothing that impacted our stay at all. It’s a 15-20 minute easy drive to East Sound where you’ll find restaurants and grocery stores. Meg was very helpful with all of this information before and during our trip. We’d recommend for your next family stay!

Very regrettable. Might have been decent 20 years ago

This place is completely worn down and has been severely neglected for far too long. Very little has been updated for at least 15-20 years, possibly way longer. There are literally holes in the bathroom floor. Holes in the ceiling that have been boarded over. Cobwebs and spiders in most corners. Dirty, dusty, dingy, faded, and outdated. Bedding is ancient, worn and musty. The beds are absolutely horrific -- worse than camping on the ground on my sleeping pad. We all had terrible sleep and sore backs after two nights. The couch and the arm chairs in the living room were so worn down and missing any cushioning that it was impossible to sit on them for more than 10 minutes without discomfort. The hot tub is so dilapidated and grimy that we didn't dare use it. There are no blinds, only sheer curtains in one of the bedrooms, so my daughter woke with the sunrise. The deck boards on the wooden deck are so worn down that my daughter got several splinters from them. This place is a sham and the owners should be ashamed of making money off of this place. It's time for them to either put some money back into it or sell.

Property in disrepair, unsafe, and very dirty

The house, deck, and hot tub are in very bad shape. The paint is peeling inside and out, and it reeks of dog urine. There were holes in the walls and visible damage throughout. There was one smoke detector in the back of the house and evidence where others existed but had been removed. The doors had no real locks just slide latches at the top of the exterior doors. We had some trouble getting a couple of these open, which would be a serious problem in an emergency. There were no curtains in the main part of the house, so there was no privacy. The house was very grimey, covered in cobwebs, and had visible mouse droppings in the bathroom, kitchen, and everywhere in the basement. There were stains all over the bathroom walls, mold growing in the tub and in many corners of the house. The kitchen shelves were covered in grease from cooking and not being cleaned. Hair and dirt in the silverware drawers. The hot tub had a lot of debris in it, including sand, paint chips and pieces of the cover that flaked off. There was a bottle of bleach next to the hot tub and the house instructions indicated that you should pour bleach in if you want to use it. Based on how the tub looked it seems the only cleaning it gets is when bleach is dumped in. We left a day early because we felt too uncomfortable. The house instructions upon check out were to remove the bed sheets and we found the mattress covered in disgusting stains. I would not recommend staying here it is filthy and unsafe.

Fire Safety and Health Concerns - I have pictures if you want them

No smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, you can see where there supposed to be but were not installed. The electricity failed a couple times, had to flip the breaker for no reason. Mold present. The ceiling shows evidence of water and structural issues from rain. They nailed a canvass over it to hide damage. DIRTY. The walls in bathroom had toothpaste splatters on the walls. The kitchen cupboards were filthy with foot splatter on them. Cobwebs everywhere. Live spiders in bathroom - HUGE one. Bedroom hole in wall covered by tape and piece of paper, ugh. No privacy, there are no curtains on any of the windows so you are on display to everyone. They live right above the house so its like living in a fish bowl. The hot tub was dirty and just had a bucket of bleach sitting next to it. They tell you everything has been cleaned and sanatized prior to arrival but it was not. They give you a laundry list of requirements prior to arrival and departure....its a novel to read and is all a disclaimer stating the place has quirks, but that information is not listed on their VBRO website listing. It was advertised as 3 bedrooms, but really only has three beds. 2 bedrooms available, but you would need to pay additional to have access to the upstairs for more rooms. Only one of the door locks worked and none of the windows locked properly. The only "security" you had was when you where there you could use a small slide bolt. They did not disclose their dogs would be loose. BS

No Key Provided. Broken Heating System.

Guests be warned: **You will not be provided with a key to the property, it will remain unlocked.** You will also be met with rudeness. The cleaning requirements at check out are extensive. We also made over a dozen separate trips to the basement to get the furnace rebooted every time it turned off (per the instructions left to guests to do this because their heating system was faulty). We eventually had to contact the owners as it was not working, the outdoor temps were in the low 30's, and we were uncomfortably cold. Really took away from our quality family time. We received a welcome message that said "The door will be unlocked and the key will be on the table." We arrived, went in with our bags, and searched for a few minutes and didn't see a key. The owners listed their numbers on laminated sheets inside. I texted both cell #'s and received no response. I called the home # and the husband answered and I explained we couldn't find the key. He sighed and said, "Well you're inside the house now, so what's the problem?" I said, "Yes, but when we leave during the day we'd like to lock the house with our stuff inside." He aggressively said, "What do you want me to do come sit inside the house with your stuff while you're out?!" I was shocked he said this and told him no, and again explained I was inquiring about the information that they had sent us. He then told me that they've never locked their house, that I'd misunderstood, or maybe that his wife had sent that message not him. He promptly got off of the phone by saying his wife would call me. She and I spoke and she went on about how safe it is where they live and I said that regardless of that it is a liability issue for us to not be able to lock up at the place we're renting. **THIS IS A TOTAL LACK OF TRANSPARENCY TO GUESTS! IF WE HAD BEEN TOLD UP FRONT THAT WE WERE BOOKING A RENTAL THAT WE COULD NOT LOCK (+ fautly heating), WE WOULD NOT HAVE BOOKED IT!** When you're paying someone hundreds of dollars, locking the door is a basic function, not an optional amenity. Any seasoned traveler knows how commonplace it is to forego a key for keyless entry, but not bring provided a key AT ALL is ludacris. The views are lovely and there is dog poop all over their yard. They live up the hill and send their dogs down regularly to potty during your stay, but the dogs were not cleaned up after. The hot tub is nice. BYO shampoo & conditioner, none is provided.

Om värden

Meg and Bob Connor är värd

Värdens profilbild
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 54 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 recently 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.

Varför värden valde detta boende

We acquired this classic island waterfront home from a dear family friend who had lived there for over 40 years. We added the third and fourth bedrooms on the upper floor along with a second bathroom. The original tiny kitchen was enlarged to a gorgeous, modern 400 square foot kitchen. After extensive refurbishing and redecorating, we began welcoming vacationing guests in the summer of 1997.

Maggie’s Getaway is located on our 140 acre estate, near our home, and also near our other wonderful vacation rental an extremely popular chalet, the Gnome House, and now also, our Grandma and Grandpa's Getaway on the lower level of our home. 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 are so thankful that we don't have to leave this paradise! Orcas Island is our HOME.



Vad som gör detta boende unikt

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 beautiful home, please see our other wonderful vacation rental homes: " Grandma and Grandpa’s Getaway for 2 adults + one child, and the "Famous Romantic Gnome House Chalet “ for up to 4 adults plus 2 small children.
