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.

What a great spot! Nestled in the woods in a peaceful and quiet setting this place is truly one-of-a-kind. The house is very unique with lots of character that sets it apart from the usual stays. It was clean and had all we needed. Our host Gramma Rikki was exceptionally warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and we could not take advantage of all the outdoor spaces and amenities. We played pool, sat by the cozy fire and did some island exploring by car. All in all it was a very enjoyable and relaxing getaway despite the crummy weather. We hope to return one day and experience everything this wonderful place has to offer.

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.

Wir haben fünf wunderbare Nächte im Haus am See verbracht. Es war absolut ruhig, die Aussicht auf den See wunderschön. Wir haben unser Frühstück selbst gemacht und abends gegrillt oder gekocht. Dabei bot die Küche alle nötigen Utensilien. Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es fehlt wirklich an nichts! Wir waren uns einig, dass wir noch nie in einem so schönen und gemütlichen AirBnB übernachtet haben. Unbedingt erwähnen möchte ich noch den saisonalen Blumenstrauß, der als Willkommensgruß auf dem Tisch stand. Danke Lindsey!

We loved our stay at Ha’s beachfront cabin. It was so cozy and clean, I appreciated attention to detail so I knew where things were and how things worked. The surroundings are beautiful, quiet and peaceful. We felt very rested and ready to kick off our summer in the best way possible. We would love to come back here!

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 :)

We had a truly wonderful stay at this cozy woodland cottage. The peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking view from the sitting area was exactly what we looked for. After long days of hiking, it was the perfect place to unwind and feel completely at home. The cottage itself was spotless, well-equipped, and felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Anne was incredibly friendly, informative, and made sure we felt right at home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway. Would love to return someday!

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 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!

Amazing location and setting. Place was perfect for medium sized group and lots of available amenities at the house.

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.

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

couldn't have been happier with the place.
