Vacation rentals with a kayak in Orcas Island

I’m in a long distance relationship and my partner and I like to do airbnbs during his visits here to check out different areas-I knew he would love the accessibility to the trails from Dawns house. My 6yr old son LOVED the downstairs and bunk bed despite how cold it was. The pellet stove was a bit intimidating to figure out so we left it alone. Downstairs did have a bit of a cat pee smell-my kiddo wasn’t bothered because his allergies were so bad he couldn’t smell (not a pet allergy, just the wild cottonwood this year), but it was hard for me to stay down there. The hot tub was an added bonus, it probably could’ve been cleaned a bit better before our stay but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall beautiful home and comfortable stay.

Beautiful lake view home - spacious kitchen with sliding door right on to deck that overlooks the lake. Hot tub on deck was wonderful to relax in and enjoy the view and birdsong. Julia was responsive to our questions and her place is welcoming and comfortable. My service animal was welcome and this place allows 2 dogs so that is another plus. Entire downstairs has 2 couches, bed and a fireplace so our entire party had their own space as well as a place to gather in kitchen and living room on main floor. Highly recommend!

Fantastic stay! The property was better than described. Immaculately clean, well appointed. Will definitely stay here again.

This space is so well designed for a family or group get together. The Pokémon kids room was my favorite. Super accommodating for dogs with gates and fenced back yard with gravel area for easy clean up. Perfect umbrellas on the deck and the greenbelt on the side of the house was a magical bird oasis. Host was amazing. Wonderful memories made here.

Well furnished house in a beautiful setting. Access to the dock and lake makes this a great vacation choice. Communication with owner was great. Owner is very respectful of guest privacy.

We loved our stay at Lindsey's place! The location on the lake is stunning and so peaceful. We barbecued on the porch and had campfires every night. Memorial Day weekend the lake was cold but we still enjoyed kayaks and paddleboards. Perfect way to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature.

Cutest place we’ve ever stayed in. The mural is adorable and great for family pictures, and we loved the view of snow-covered mountains from the dining room. Fenced in yard was perfect for our little ones. Amenities were fantastic. We didn’t get to spend much time with them, but the host has board/card games, national parks books, and more for family entertainment. Furniture is very comfortable and nice. Host was responsive and friendly, and you can tell a lot of effort has been put into making this a top-notch experience

We feel very lucky and blessed that we were able to find this place and spend our few days there. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer! It was absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful views, great location, and a very clean house with a well-equipped kitchen. Everything we needed was provided which made it a very comfortable stay. The host was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Would love to stay here again!

Good cozy place. Very convenient for our shrimping week with the dock and location. Our buddies booked their other place right below and we had a great time.

If you want a sweet little respite away from the rest of the world, this is an excellent spot. Cottage was squeaky clean and had gorgeous views of both water and mountains. The market was super helpful, and they have a great selection of VHS tapes and DVDs available to borrow for a blast from the past. Truly one of my favorite stays I’ve ever had.

Perfect location for a trip to the Olympic National Park! It was peaceful and has a beautiful view. Would love to come back and stay again :)

The place was quiet and clean. The host was very easy to get ahold of with questions, and helpful. Overall great experience we plan to visit again someday.

My fiancé and I wanted to get away for the weekend and we loved this place. It was very clean, had a large fenced yard for the dogs to run around in, and we were even given fresh eggs from their chickens. We would definitely rebook in the future!

The Elf House was the perfect sanctuary for my solo retreat. I was able to disconnect and unwind in a peaceful environment that had everything I needed. Including a piano! They were great hosts with plenty of clear instructions to cover any questions that may arise. I wish I was staring out their window at the water right now.

We had a wonderful stay! We're a family with three young boys under the age of 8, and the home worked really well for us overall. A couple of small suggestions that might help future guests: it gets very bright upstairs in the early morning — our kids were up at 4:30am on the first day! Curtains or blackout shades would make a big difference. We ended up using foil as a quick fix, which worked well. The location is fantastic — just steps from the beach. For families with young kids (or older guests), a small set of portable stairs down to the sand would be helpful. We temporarily moved the hot tub steps to make it easier, which worked in a pinch. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked for cooking, and the neighborhood is peaceful with absolutely stunning views. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We had such an amazing, relaxing, and peaceful stay at this little cabin on the lake. Wayne and family were all wonderful and the pups made us feel right at home. If you like lake views out everywindow, cozy fires, sitting in the hot tub as you watch the sun set, and loving on some pups then this the spot for you. It's small. It's comfortable. It's got everything you need and the hosts are lovely. We loved this spot so much we just booked our next visit. See you guys soon!

It was fun watching the tide come in and out. The place wasn't squeaky clean, but I thought it still merited 5 stars for cleanliness. It would have been nice to have stayed longer and to have made use of the boats and firepit onsite, but we did enjoy the nicely decorated interior and the lovely deck.

Incredible location situatuated within the parks wilderness. The small lake adds a different dimension with the wildlife and mountains in the distance. The finishing touches and windows makes this place a true retreat. It might be the best rental in ONP.

Gorgeous location and house with really cool amenities quiet and fun.

Great location with easy access to the beach. Kitchen was very well stocked with items and it felt like Joni spent some good time there. Neighbors were very friendly. I would like to return. The property was super clean and Joni was very responsive and friendly host.

This house was one of my favorite Airbnb’s yet. It easily served our sleeping needs. I liked how there were thermostats in each room, including the bathrooms. The kitchen was well appointed and my favorite - they left a welcome basket with sparkling water and wine. The house is situated only 1/2 mile from a great park for hiking, strolling and mountain biking. As for the beautiful Whatcom Lake, there were some stairs to get down to the sitting area where we could watch the mergansers and even a few loons. We didn’t take advantage of the kayaks and canoe, but one of us took a couple of cold plunges (not my thing). We were there in the first of April and the water was still cold! I highly recommend this house and location.

This place was amazing to stay for the weekend! I loved the privacy the land offered. It felt like a secluded cabin while still being close to towns! The house was so cute and the host was so helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was perfectly located for a day trip to Mt. Baker and less than 10 minutes from Silver Lake Park. The drive was beautiful and the cabin was just as pictured.
