Private room with queen size bed in a shared house. This is a great place to unwind after a hike in Moran State Park or day of sightseeing and beach combing. We are 1 mile to downtown Eastsound, even closer to North Beach and just .3 miles from the airport. We have a relaxed community vibe with 3 rooms upstairs that are rented to travelers. This is a private room upstairs, with 2 full shared bathrooms and excellent light. Enjoy a view of the forest, garden and pond and fall asleep to the relaxing trickle of the pond. There is a desk and closet. There are two neighboring rooms that may be occupied by other guests; this room shares one direct wall. Send us a message if you'd like to enquire about a 1 night stay on the weekend, we are sometimes able to accommodate. Please feel free to use all parts of the home and the front fenced garden. The owner lives on site in the back of the property, please respect his privacy. Leesa is the main point of contact for guests, always available for questions. Kit - the owner of the house loves to entertain guests and lives onsite. He has great stories of his world travels; sustainable building practices and loves to share a glass of wine. We are surrounded by quiet natural forest with few direct neighbors. The downtown area is relaxed with an artistic vibe that is great for exploring by foot or bike. Check out Turtleback Mountain, Moran State Park or Mountain Lake for hiking. Wild Island, Gertie's, and The Outlook Inn offer great fresh food with many vegetarian options, as do several others. Island Hoppin’ Brewery is walking distance away and you can borrow our growler to fill or bring your own. The Barnacle is a craft cocktail bar with light food, try one of the ginger drinks . You are welcome to bring one vehicle to our oasis on Orcas Island. However it is highly recommended to take the ferry as a walk on passenger to avoid frustrations with the ferry system - the boat becomes fully booked with vehicles during the summer. With that in mind please book your reservation to bring your vehicle in advance to be sure you have a guaranteed space. Feel free to bring your own bicycle, we are in a great location to bike to town from and many people bike here from the Ferry. If you are riding your bike here we recommend taking Dolphin Bay Road to avoid traffic - it is a dirt road with nice scenery! It's simple and easy to park your vehicle in Anacortes and take a taxi, call ahead to reserve, and for the adventurous – hitchhiking is very common on the island. We also have one car rental agency and scooters are available for rent in town. Permit number 160037
