A private getaway just minutes from beaches, lakes and town.. We live on beautiful Orcas Island, the gem of the San Juan Islands, off the coast of Washington State. Our cabin is at the foot of Buck Mtn. facing southwest. Our location is private and peaceful. We are minutes from all the amenities of the main village- Eastsound - where one finds the grocery store, organic food coop, restaurants, movie theatre, retail shops, Community Arts Center and more! The property is one of the original homesteads of the island. Our orchard is one of the few surviving from 1895 - most of the apple and pear trees (30+) are still robust producers! The original foundation is just behind the cabin. The family (Langells) abandoned the house when electric power became available. Our new cabin was built by Orcas locals using local wood. We heat with in-floor radiant, as we enjoy the quiet and comfort of it - its wonderful in winter! We also took care to provide all the amenities, such as full size refrigerator, washer dryer, and dishwasher. The beds are very comfy. There is a picnic table for you to enjoy eating in the orchard, a porch to hang out on with outdoor rockers and lounging chairs, and a bbq is available. If your cellphone service is spotty, we have a land line with unlimited long distance. Wireless internet is also available along with a television and free streaming of Netflix, Hulu, HBO and You Tube tv etc. We have lived on Orcas for over 30 years (my husband, Jim, even longer) and raised our two kids here. We look forward to hosting you at The Cottage in the Orchard! We have an active vr permit with San Juan County.
