8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Our stay unfortunately turned into a very unnecessarily stressful stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and the view was over the top amazing. I organized this trip for my family... my siblings, their spouses and my mother. We have not been all together like this in over 10 years. We planned carefully and have had our reservation for over a year. We all flew to Seattle, rented cars, drove to Anacortes, and took a ferry to Orcas Island. We loved the island and our experiences there. My troubles began with a 3 to 4 hour ordeal to get the pass code to enter the property. We received verification the week before that we had paid all necessary fees and we were given the address, etc. But the night before our arrival, we had still not received the entrance code. The morning of our arrival, we spent 3 or 4 hours trying to get our management company to accept my drivers license photo for their last level of security before they would unlock the access to their entrance code. On Tuesday, the very next morning our host's management company texted me to tell me that they had scheduled a large event "some time ago" that overlapped with our reservation and we would need to leave Friday morning rather than Saturday morning. We explained how difficult that would be for our group of 15 to find other accommodations for that last day and that we did not want to leave early. They continued to harass us with new texts each morning for the next 3 days until they stopped.

Really neat home that fueled lots of fun and even a ghost story or two from my kids. Great for families wanting to do reunions etc as multiple masters are there. Town and supplies are less than 10 minutes away but its very private. Beautiful star gazing

The house is just as pictured, with a little pond with koi in it as you walk up to the door. You feel like you’re walking into a castle! You have an adventure inside and outside the house - there’s so many rooms to explore with the perfect views. Walk out on one of the 3 decks and you have amazing views that are never ending across the area. We saw eagles and hawks every day, we even had visits from the deer right next to the house. Relax in the hot tub or sauna and enjoy trails right on the property. Billiards table provided extra entertainment. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, amazing views - this is the place for you. Christopher was always quick to respond, if needed. Would love to visit again once work starts to slow down again! Thanks for having us!

The property is amazing. It’s a huge home with an amazing view!! The layout is weird with the bunkbed room only accessible through the king-size room. Most of the outlets in the kitchen do not work, the grill on the patio did not work. The oven did not work well. The refrigerator in the garage is disconnected and smells quite terrible (luckily the fridge and freezer in the kitchen are quite large). The beds were reasonably comfortable and the property is pet friendly. I have not had worse customer service with any other stay. Very quick responses when I was deciding to book the stay but in the week leading up to the stay, I could not get a response at all. Check-in required 3 phone calls only for them to say that the reason they never sent me check-in information was that I filled out the wrong form (I filled out and returned the one form they sent me). They never reached out to let me know that the reason they were not sending me check-in information, or the reason they were not responding to my messages was that I had not filled out the appropriate forms. I have never had such an unpleasant start to a stay. I probably would stay there again - the view really is amazing - but I hope to never have to interact with the property manager again.
