We just got home this evening from Orcas but I wanted to take a minute to send a very sincere thank you for allowing us to rent your house on Orcas Island. WOW - what beautiful home - it is truly a 5 star home in every aspect - from the outstanding detail to attention - to the large and functional rooms to the amazing view. We totally enjoyed our stay and had a great and very relaxing time. Your home is nicer than most 5 star hotels and was warm and inviting. You have done a great job in decorating and giving it that very warm - "homey" feel. We were very fortunate to have nice sunny weather for our stay and enjoyed touring the island.
Our dogs loved the great dog run - what a nice way to have it enclosed and attached to the deck. I took them on two large walks every day and they just loved the island.
Hopefully - we can rent your place again in the future.
Once again - you have a beautiful home and our sincere thanks in letting us rent and enjoy it.
Sincerely
Earl & Jan Kosty

| We spent a fantastic week in Orcas the 1st week of June and this house worked out great. We were traveling with our dog and 1 year old daughter and the house was perfectly accomodating for a family. The house is modern, clean, has tasteful furnishings, and an absolutely spectacular view. We've used VRBO a number of times and this is the best value we've seen hands down. We would love to come back and would definitely stay here on our next visit to Orcas. |

We could not have been more thrilled when we
walked in the front door. The home is beautiful and
extremely comfortable. You can't begin to prepare
yourself for the amazing view that awaits you from
the living room, dining room and back deck. We
just loved hanging out in the home, playing games
& watching movies (it was spring break & the
weather was cool & overcast but that didn't deter us
one bit....we still loved it!) Everything you could
possibly need was there....games, movies, books,
soft linens, dishes, cookware. Truly, what a
wonderful place to spend a vacation. We can't wait
to come back! |

| We will definitely make a trip back to this hidden treasure. The home is beautifully decorated - we felt as if we were in a hotel. Very clean and well kept. The view was spectacular from the living room and deck. Quiet is an understatement. Eagles, deer, rabbits - lots of wildlife right outside the door. Great selection of movies and books. We celebrated our 30th anniversary here and we can't think of anywhere else we would have rather been. |

| My wife and I have been planning to go to the San Juans for the longest time. Finally we went and it was incredible. The views are fantastic. This home was so well decorated, very warm and friendly. My kids couldn't believe the deer would come right up to the front door to eat! Very clean and comfortable inside. The island even in Feb. offered hikes, sightseeing, but overall just a great place to relax and unwind. And if we wanted to stay connected to the "outside world" there was always high speed WIFI and Directv. |

The house was beautiful. Very warm and friendly. Very tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the local deer approaching the front door and our kids had a blast feeding them. Very quiet and private area. Great place to hike and sightsee. Very relaxing. Wish we had spent more time. We will definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed this home. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, gets lots of light and sun which we like, and has a quiet location with a great view. We especially like relaxing and eating on the deck. The fenced dog run that joins the deck is also good if you want to bring a dog. It is located within walking distance to the Cascade Lake trail in Moran Park. We are going to rent it again this year for multiple weeks. The weather on Orcas Island is perfect for outdoor activities all summer long.
Recommended things to do:
Visit Cafe Olga – get a blackberry pie – expensive but worth it.
You can also pick blackberries in late August or early September.
Hike the Mountain Lake loop in Moran Park, and Turtleback mountain
Country Corner Cellars is a very helpful and friendly wine store.
