My wife and I and our son and wife had five wonderful days on Orcas Island. This charming cabin has such gorgeous views throughout the house and from the back deck. It’s a bit rustic which for us was perfect and added to its charm. The younger half of our group went in the 55 degree water a few times but even walking out on the rocky bluff below the cabin offers plenty of great areas to sit and enjoy the waves rolling in and boats going by in Eastsound. We had a deer visitor a couple of days coming all the way up under the deck, for a good vegetation meal. We agree with the reviewers who recommended to stay on White Beach Road-which turns into Evergreen Way and makes a sharp right turn down by White Beach and climbs back up to the driveway to the cabin. Also coming south from Eastsound (lovely village with the main grocery store and nice restaurants and stores), it’s better to stay on Orcas Road all the way and go by Orcas Landing on the way to the cabin. These alternatives give you much more comfortable rides with less bumps and turns. Other recommendations: Deer Harbor Charters for whale watching out of Deer Harbor, hike Ship Peak Loop at Turtleback Mountain Preserve in Westsound for fantastic views, Brown Bear Bakery and New Leaf Cafe in Eastsound for great meals and snacks, and views from the top of Mount Constitution and kayaking on Mountain Lake nearby in Moran State Park. All so beautiful.
