Serene & comfy

I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The setting was exactly what I hoped for and the cottage itself was beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean, private and quiet- and the gas fireplace was perfect. It was a very short drive to get anywhere I needed to go in town. I can’t wait to book another stay sometime soon!

Beautiful woodsy cottage

This is where you want to stay on orcas Island. Centrally located and secluded. Easy to get to and the accommodations in the cottage are spectacular. Everything you need in the kitchen to make a nice meal. The garden provided us with an onion and celery. A really nice treat.

Wish we had time to stay longer!

We stayed at the cottage-in-the-Barn for a couple nights with two college age kids and dogs. We loved the quiet setting and found it to be a great base for exploring Eastsound and other parts of the island. The cottage was clean and light and charming. It was beautiful in late winter but with the gardens and greenhouse, it must be wonderful in spring and summer!

Idyllic cottage in a barn

Our family had a great stay at Dragonfly Farm. The cottage in the barn was very cute and comfortable. The kids loved paddling around in the kayaks and seeing the frogs and dragonflies on the pond. The garden was beautiful, and we harvested some kale and snap peas for dinner. The host was very responsive. We'll be back!

Fully equipped cottage with convenient access to both Eastsound area and the ferry terminal area. We found it easy to prepare a few meals with the full kitchen or go out when desired. Mid-vacay laundry “at-home” was also a plus. My only quibble was soft water at meh water pressure in shower made rinsing slightly more lengthy. I almost hesitate to bring it up bc it was otherwise a highlight of our Pac NW vacation!

Lovely spot for a perfect fall weekend

This place is cozy and truly felt like home-away-from-home. The ladder to the loft is steep, the kitchen small, but it's a lovely spot for a small cozy group and perfect for our family trip. We had a fantastic time on the island and using the cottage in the barn as our homebase - enjoying the fresh veggies from the garden, the fireplace, cooking fresh crab in the kitchen, walking the grounds - couldn't have been more lovely. Things are well designed and appointed. Beds comfortable, and communication with the host was easy and quick. We'll be back!

Beautiful, peaceful getaway

This is a beautiful, peaceful gated property that has a pond with kayaks, TONS of dragonflies (at least there were 2 weeks ago, when we went), and everything you need for cooking at the property except they were out of black pepper. :) We had only a weekend stay, but I genuinely enjoyed our time there and would love to spend some longer time there. The owner's house is on the property, hidden behind trees up the hill, so you really feel you have the run of the area around the cottage. One note: not wheelchair accessible and would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues, as there are sort of large rocks in a slight incline that function as stairs, but nothing you can roll luggage over. Also, the ladder to the loft area is very steep - wouldn't be good for small children. We were adults and able to manage just fine, however. It's super cozy, too! There's even games, some movies, and books to read for a rainy day. We enjoyed cooking our dinners at home each night instead of jockeying for a dinner reservation, which pretty much none of the local places have available anyway, in my last several visits to the island. Basically, if you don't book ahead of time, only bars are available, which was not our scene. There's a nice grocery store in Eastsound that has high quality food, including bulk food section, and is much cheaper than eating out! We found it's easier to eat out on the island without a reservation during breakfast/lunch. Hope this helps!

Wonderful getaway in a lovely cabin

Spent two beautiful days here for our 12-year-old‘s birthday between enjoying Seattle and travelling towards Yellowstone. Loved everything about the property and the pleasant communication with our hosts. We used the kayaks and enjoyed sitting anywhere in- and outside. Very calming!

Sweet, little cottage with a lovely view of the garden. Wonderful for sleeping in, reading books and watching birds. The hummingbirds are not messing around. This was a good size for a family of three. Our dog loved the onsite walk to the pond and short path around the barn.

Very charming

We stayed 3 nights for a weekend wedding. The setting was quaint, quiet and enjoyable. The house could easily be perfect for 4. Kitchen well stocked, as was bathroom.The furniture was cozy as was the overall feel of the 'cabin'. We really enjoyed the hummingbirds at the front porch. We were 12 minute drive from ferry dock, and a bit closer to Eastsound. There is a great winery 2 minutes drive towards town. We really enjoyed the island and spent a lot of time seeing different areas-the opposite side of the island was a 30 minute drive.I would highly recommend this rental!

Really liked the gas fireplace! Warmed up the place in no time. We played some of the supplied games nightly. Loved having a Bluetooth speaker too! The pillows and comforter were all wonderfully soft though the mattress was hard. One night I dozed on the couch, which was more comfy.The garden across from the cabin is charming. Only downside was that it was being worked on by a team of landscapers midday Saturday (complete with something motorized…a chainsaw? Maybe a leaf blower?) so my plans to read a book on the porch were quashed. But if you’re staying in a popular rental, thems just the odds. Yardwork’s gotta happen sometime. Orcas Island Winery is only the way into town from this direction. Was nice having an excuse to stop by!
