Our home is best suited for no more than 7 adults and 2 children.Pets - We may allow pets on a case by case basis, please message us to see if we can accommodate.If an unauthorized event occurs, a $500 fee will be charged.

We are located steps from the dock.Stuga is Swedish for cottage and refers to the many summer cabins that dot Sweden's coastlines, forests and islands and serve as a holiday escape, often hosting their families for celebrations throughout the year.The word Stuga also conjures up lots of evocative feelings for Swedes. These are typically places of peace, comfort, and mysig-ness or coziness, much closer to nature than the city.We hope our Stuga provides the comfort and peacefulness you seek on Orcas Island and in our small hamlet of Olga.Due to the time needed to adequately clean the property, we are not able to offer early check-in or late check-out. Please book an extra night if you would like to guarantee an early check- in or a late check- out.Ask about our guest house (Little Stuga) if you have over 7 adults.Permit # 2005CU020yt
