Cute rooms although ours could've used a dusting. There were a few cobwebs in the room and bathroom which lowered the overall appeal. Listing on Expedia said we would have a King bed, but our room actually had a Queen.

We reserved this place sight unseen! This was my first trip to Orcas, there's not alot there but that was the idea. EVERYWHERE we ate was amazing, this "inn" will be our home away from every time we visit the island!

Rooms are cozy and just enough for two guests. I was in Room #7 but the TV was not working during the time I checked in. The shower is also kind of "fixed". It's setting is always hot, but too hot for my scalp and face.

Remote from Eastsound but has presence it’s own. Cliff side bluff room was cozy, warm, and relaxing. Hot tub has a wonderful view. Easy stay, little to no interaction from host, great restaurant on site for bbq lovers.
