Lovely Comfortable Home

There were three of us staying for two nights. We did not spend very much time here and I wish we could have stayed longer. It is a lovely, thoughtful, clean and well equipped home. This home would be great for a family. There are lots of games, wonderful space allocations and very nice outside spaces as well. We wish the weather had been warmer for that! Good location and close to town. We would definitely recommend.

Very quiet in Winter

I enjoy the off-season in resort areas so enjoy coming to Orcas Island in February. This house is cozy and comfy, and I’ve rented it 4 of the last 5 years, which ought to say something! You can’t beat the location! Note to Sandi , the owner tho: you need to provide a snow shovel and bag of ice melter/rock salt.

Dreamy in every way

Such a beautiful house, inside and out, that is a very short walk (along a path) into town. The house itself was immaculate and such a good layout for our family. The main floor is a big open space with a large kitchen, dining area, and living room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a large bathroom. The basement had another bedroom, bathroom, and living room. My son, who is in college and living in a dorm, was thrilled to have a whole private door to himself. The house was well stocked: games, puzzles, books, movies, and a very well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. The house is in a small community of houses by the same builder -- all are lovely and they are positioned on the property so that you never feel you are looking into someone else's house. The one suggestion I would have is to have someone clean the pots and pans before the next guest. The people who used this equipment before us did not clean them well, and it was kind of gross. We would have probably cleaned everything we were planning to use beforehand anyway, but it wasn't pleasant to see food remains.

Convenient, comfortable, cute place in Eastsound

Stayed here over a weekend in September for a ladies' weekend while participating in a trail running event at Moran State Park. This was a comfortable and cute place and I wish we'd had more time just to hang out here! Check-in and check-out were both easy, the location was great, property was quiet and peaceful, and beds were comfortable. Would stay again for sure!

The Craftsman located in Eastsound , Orcas Island

We loved how centrally located The Craftsman is to East Sound activities, beaches, restaurants, etc. Top priority for us as travelers to Orcas. We also love that four people can occupy with everyone being happy!

Wonderful girls weekend

Friends from grade school, now in our 50’s, enjoyed a quiet and relaxing four days. Nice easy walking path to town, plenty of good restaurants (one person was gluten free and restaurants were knowledgeable!) house was lovely with plenty of room for alone time if needed. Hiking trails and views galore! It was a wonderful time.

We loved the central location on the island as we came to hike. We enjoyed being able to walk into the small village but were disappointed that most things were closed or had very limited hours while we were there. The home is in need of some updating of the living room and outdoor furniture as well as some indoor painting of the woodwork. Cleaning of the floors needs to be improved.

We enjoyed staying at this property very much. The only trouble we had was with the key pad to enter the front door and lock up when we went out. It took several attempts each time we used it for it to accept the code.

Cozy for a winter stay

This was the third time I’ve rented this beautiful home in January or February, which has to say something ! I would buy this place in a heartbeat. With the cozy fireplace, well designed lighting and fully equipped, full size appliances it is perfect even if it’s rainy … but THIS time the weather was unusually nice. I’m sure it’s very nice “ in season” but Orcas Island is much too crowded in summer.

The house was very clean, with nice furnishings. However, the oven didn't work and the outside lighting was terrible. The stone walkway was uneven and the motion detecting lighting is poorly placed, forcing you to walk in the dark across an uneven surface.
