Photos and Description of the Deer Harbor vacation cottage rental
Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 1-2)

Step through the gateway into the enchantment of the private courtyard of this vintage structure, now a country guest house, part of a locally historic property situated on nearly five acres overlooking Deer Harbor with over 500' of walkable private clam shell beach.

Take in the expanse of lawn leading down to the harbor with its boats resting at anchor and the distant view of the snow capped Olympic Range to the south.

As you enter your cottage through the French doors, the heavy, old beams, Rumford fireplace and many candled wrought iron chandelier may make you feel you've slipped back in time further than the building's early 1900's origins. The furnishings are largely antiques, the fabrics lush and the ambiance comfortable, relaxed and elegant.

The kitchen is fully equipped, from the Jenn-Air cooktop to the ironed Italian linens. Choose eating at the charming gate-legged table in the dining area or on the old fashioned porch replete with early wicker furniture.

Later, put your feet up on the large ottoman in front of a roaring fire. Sip some wine with someone special or just lean back and enjoy a good book. Listen to those special songs on the CD player. And be sure to set the right mood with rheostat lighting and candles.

You can view the 32' LCD HDTV from the king sized bed in the large bedroom area. Better yet, you can view the harbor shimmering in the magic of moonlight.

The bath is a fantasy of old and new, rustic and refined. Luxuriate in the warmth of radiant heated floors, large two-person shower and deep soaking tub overlooking the courtyard and harbor beyond. Indulge yourself with thick bath sheets, special soaps, candles..... The list goes on.

Or maybe you feel like soaking in your private hot tub just outside your door and enjoying the activities on the harbor and the crackle of a fire in the firepit. Grill freshly caught salmon and serve it with a selection from our kitchen garden.

Within walking distance are whale watching and kayak tours, sailing charters, rental boats and bicycles, walking trails and a bird sanctuary. There's also a restaurant, a convenience market and a snack bar.

Turtleback Mountain Preserve is located just two miles from your cottage. With its 1500 acres of rock outcrops, grasslands, wildflowers, Garry Oaks and magnificent views, it is a hiker's dream.

Moran State Park, with over 5000 acres of virgin forest, has many hiking and biking trails, lakes and picnic grounds. It's crown jewel, Mt. Constitution, offers some of the most spectacular water views in North America.

Artists' studios and galleries are favorite places to visit, as are the many shops selling locally made goods.

Don't forget that one of the best things you can do is absolutely nothing! Just sit back and enjoy the views.

The food on Orcas Island is very good! You'll find local produce, meats and seafood at the fine restaurants and markets. Try Judd Cove Oysters or Coffelt Farm lamb, a salad of organic greens or a dessert with wild blackberries. You won't want to miss the Farmer's Market held every Saturday from May through October.

Yes, if you're looking for that perfect romantic hideaway, this is the place!

Magical place!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 29, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
The cottage is a very special place -- beautiful, quiet, private, perfectly appointed. When we arrived , a fire had been laid, soft music was playing, and the view of the harbor was breathtaking. The scent of roses and rosemary was delicious. Flowers and birds everywhere! The bathroom has a big soaking tub under a private greenhouse window, the bed and linens were sumptuous. Can not imagine what could make this place more perfect!

Comfortably cozy

  • Submitted: Dec 14, 2012
  • Stayed: Nov 2012
The heated shower floor, massive indoor soaking tub, outdoor cozy hot tub, huge bed, large porch facing the bay, and the scent of lavender greeted us when we arrived. It was surprising they allowed us to bring our dog because it didn't smell or look like any had been there before us, although they gave us a snuggly blanket for our old pooch to lie on. The best part of the stay for us, avid birders, was opening the front door and seeing so many species of birds just a few yards away. Without leaving the cabin we counted 20 species by sight or sound. We spent one of the rainy days at the table setup on the porch drawing out a new garden design for our home. If we'd been there in warmer weather we would've taken advantage of the secluded patio table for our meals. All in all, a really nice place to stay.

We enjoyed the cozy Garden Cottage. It was cold outside, but warm and inviting by the fire, and a lovely view out the window. We had a couple of really fresh salads from the garden, such a treat! The cottage was clean, and the grounds are beautifully maintained.

The Garden Cottage

We loved our stay at the cottage! It was cozy, quiet, and private. The bed was super comfy and the sheets felt wonderfully soft. We made delicious coffee with the fresh coffee beans each morning. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed - we cooked in every night. The shower was amazing! We were enchanted by the grounds and garden as well. This get away couldn't have been any better!

The Inn at Cayou Cove--Carriage House

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 18, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
We have stayed in the Carriage House at Cayou Cove twice now and enjoyed being able to bring our dog. The cottage is both cozy and elegant--an excellent late winter/early spring getaway. The kitchen is basic but adequate, and my husband, who is an excellent cook, produced excellent meals during both stays. (Since we had the dog and we were staying mid-week in the late winter on Orcas, it only made sense to bring some great food and wine and enjoy lunches out but dinners in.) The dog was ecstatic--burros, bunnies and herons. A feast for the nose, if nothing else. The king-sized feather bed is also sensational and the rain beating on the metal roof was relaxing, given that we were nice and snug inside. I'm sure the place is even better during the summer when everything is green and in bloom, but the off-season rates and quiet environment during March suited us just fine. Orcas is a gem with superb hiking and lots of other outdoor activities such as kayaking, sailing and whale watching.
