Orcas Island, Purdue Lake Retreat

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***

If you are looking for a getaway that offers the ultimate in peace and privacy, look no further than Purdue Lakeside Retreat. This cozy cottage is nestled into the trees high atop Buck Mountain. The secluded and tranquil location is so quiet that the only sounds you will hear are the symphony of bird songs ringing through the forest. Once you settle into this blissful slice of heaven, you won’t want to leave!

The cottage includes two buildings, each sporting a bedroom with a queen size bed and 3/4 bathroom. Step inside the main room of the primary building where the fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to prepare meals sourced from the excellent local grocery stores and farmer’s market. At the other end of the room, grab a book from the shelf and kick back in the recliner for a good read. Though it gets chilly at the top of the mountain year-round, you can take the chill off the room with the freestanding propane stove.

Despite its remote location, high-speed internet service is available to support your browsing and streaming needs. The bedroom in the primary building is equipped with a desk and a television for those times when you want to be connected to the outside world.

Step outside and walk across the deck to the other building where you will find a second bedroom and en suite bathroom providing private sleeping quarters for couples or families who are traveling together.

Out on the deck, relax on the glider with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine while enjoying a lovely, filtered view of Purdue Lake. When it’s time for dinner, fire up the grill and enjoy a meal on the deck.

This unique property is well-suited for two couples or two small families traveling together. Bedding is provided for the full size futon in the living area of the primary building. Families traveling with children should keep in mind the separate locations of the bedrooms when considering sleeping arrangements. Put this one on your list for quiet rentals this summer. Because it is new to the program, you can be among the first to enjoy this brand new home.

Please note this home has two steps to the entrance.
