Holiday 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.

Amazing stay with family. Idyllic surrounds. The lake is gorgeous - we swam and kayaked every day - my grandsons loved fishing. Everything is well stocked. Superb setting and host. Serene and family vacation perfection.

Fantastic space, open and airy, and beautifully appointed. Complete privacy- it feels as though you are in the woods- yet the town is a few blocks away. The hosts were attentive to any questions I had, and were inviting and professional. Highly recommend!

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!

Beautiful spot and great amenities. The space is small but well organized and super clean. Plenty of space for our family of 4 with young kids. We enjoyed using the kayaks and getting to hunt for treasures on the beach.

Fantastic stay. Best sunsets. Comfy beds and linens. Well stocked kitchen.

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.

5 stars from me all around! It was an overall relaxing vacation for us. The view is the first thing noticeably unique about this airbnb. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Its even beautiful from inside the room. We enjoyed the massage chair, comfortable bed, tv, portable speaker, and the hot tub. I would recommend this airbnb and would love to visit again!

What an absolute treasure of a location! We had a glorious time & thoroughly enjoyed the beach access & the serenity of the property. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful location. Loved the easy access to the waterfront. Lots of great spaces to hangout as group. We enjoyed having lunch on deck and bonfires at night by the water. The beds were super comfortable too!

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!

Trevor’s cabin was perfectly situated on Magic Lake. The view was beautiful. My family enjoyed the quiet days and cozy space. It felt like a home away from home!

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.

We just returned from a family reunion and our stay exceeded all expectations. The location was stunning, and the home was perfectly stocked with everything we needed—from water play during the day to homemade dinners and cozy evenings filled with games and puzzles. We felt right at home and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped getaway.

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.

We instantly felt at home at Dagny's place. The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated and has cared-for vibe with lots of personal touches. The grounds are extremely private and serene. Our family group included grandma, a teenager and a puppy and everyone found their favorite hangout spot and had fun. The hotub was a great bonus and so relaxing at night while stargazing. We especially appreciated having quality beds and linens, the bedrooms were so cozy and we caught up on much needed sleep.
