About this property

Modern House, pet-friendly, walk to Cascade Lake!

Modern home, pet-friendly, onsite parking. Bright and comfortable with new furnishings and efficient heating and cooling. Sunny deck with propane grill, outdoor furniture and mountain views. Remote work with wi-fi and desk.

Walk to Cascade Lake and all of the Moran State Park trails.

Rosario Resort is one mile away, Eastsound Village is a 10 minute drive.

Exciting news on June 22, 2026: The new tiny home that was built next door is complete!! The construction was extremely sporadic and the contractor did not always tell me before he arrived. I did my best to protect my guests from the construction noise.

So grateful that it is finished and my new neighbors can move into their Orcas home.

LANDUSE-19-0166

The terrain of Orcas is gorgeous, but the hills also mean that your cell coverage will be spotty. We have reliable wifi with a local provider. Many of our guests have used it for video conferencing while working from the house.

The driveway is shared with the house next door. This house is TO THE RIGHT.

DOG OWNERS
We welcome your pets in our home and do not charge a pet fee.

*PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE FURNITURE OR BEDS. We will charge an extra cleaning fee of $30 if there is excess hair on the furniture or beds.
*Use the dog towels in the entry closet. White towels are for people only!
*Dogs are not allowed on the sofa or beds.
*Dogs should be left alone only in their crates. Ideally, please take them with you.
*Doggie bags are under the kitchen sink. Put them in the trash, never in the toilet.

Please help us keep the house clean for other guests by keeping your pets off of the couch and beds.

We strive to be eco-friendly and provide as many natural, non-toxic, zero-waste options as we can to help care for the environment. Please be kind to our island ecosystem.

TRIP INSURANCE
A friendly recommendation: please purchase trip insurance!

Fabulous home tucked up in the trees, sparkling clean, modern, minimalist, comfortable. Central location to explore all parts of the island easily, and peaceful Cascade Lake is just down the street. Star gazing on the deck, private and serene setting. One of the best VRBOs we've ever stayed at!

This house was perfectly located and with all of its windows was such a pretty and peaceful view. It was so easy to cook some meals in and located near to shops and restaurants. Our host was excellent! Very communicative and gave us very helpful advice regarding the ferry & special places to visit and eat. We would highly recommend this place to stay! You will be very happy you did!

Cute House, great location

This home was a great experience. It was clean and it had all the essentials. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the view of the lake thru the huge windows. It was a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the state park. Jan as a host was great, providing recommendations for activities on the island and making sure that we didn’t have any issues with our stay.

Wonderful spot! Scented

This was a wonderful spot! Incredible location, so close to the park and easy drive to the shops. Our favorite was walking to cascade lake with our pup!PSA: this location is strongly scented and made us a bit ill. Note that this is not accessible for scent sensitive folks! (Meyer products are SO scented, and all over the house.)

WONDERFUL!

House was exactly as pictured on listing! New, clean, with all the amenities. Host provided excellent directions and points of interest - very good communication. Home is very short walk to hiking trail around Cascade Lake. Steep driveway with some deep potholes to get to the house but other than that minor issue it was one of the best stays we have had.

I appreciate your kind words! Walking to the lake is the highlight of my day when at the house. My neighbor and I so need to fix our shared driveway! We have been calling local contractors for nine months. If anyone on Orcas is available to come regrade our driveway, please get in touch!
