Dog friendly hideout next door to Doe Bay Resort on Washington's Orcas Island

Nestled in the quiet community of Doe Bay lies a charming craftsman 2bd, 2ba cottage you can effortlessly retreat into. The tasteful updating is done with propane fireplace, new king sized REM bed with adjustable base in the master bedroom, one side of the bed has a softer mattress while the other side is firm-take your pick. All brand new living room furniture, tasteful decorating , cozy dining area with bench seats and surround windows and the spacious master bedroom has vaulted ceilings displaying vintage SE Asian oars. Andrew Gath design of Seattle helped us with the interior, it is warm. comfortable and classic. Enjoy dining or morning coffee on the New large south facing deck with beautiful water views. High speed internet and Rocu Direct TV in both bedrooms. Wake up to a sunrise over the Salish Sea. Your Island home is part of a small close knit "homestead" community-originally a fishing camp at the turn of the century. Their are 3 full time neighbors and 3 ocassional weekenders-thus are home is more of place to go to savor the peace of the Islands. If having a good ole fashioned whoopee party on the deck until midnight is your idea of a vacation (and who doesn't like that occasionally) than this location is probably not for you. Sound carries and this home has neighbors. I have mult bird feeders around the yard and when one gets quite and still, birds of all sorts will fly right up to you, along with our resident Doug Fir squirrels, Island deer and raccoon although we ask that you not feed the deer or raccoons. River Otters frequently swim by the house! We now ALLOW one small fur baby. The dog must be no greater than 15lbs. The dog is not allowed in the backyard garden and is not allowed to run freely in the neighborhood. The dog is not allowed on the furniture (unless it’s on the deck) or bed. Strongly recommend getting the extra insurance when bringing a dog.

Great getaway if you want some quiet time. Loved looking out for porpoises and whales. The house was a good fit for 4 people and had a perfectly stocked kitchen. Happy we got to see Orcas Island!

Perfect Orcas Island stay!

Our family of 4 stayed three nights, and wished we could have stayed longer- the house was beautiful and had everything we needed (including family games and comfy beds!), and we loved the deck with water views and heat lamps for at night.

My family and I loved staying in this location. It was tucked away from everything, but had easy access to all the great parts of the island. The house was very well equipped and very well planned out. We can’t wait to come back and visit again soon!!!

Nice place to stay very secluded and quiet. close enough to town that everything is in reach. Very nice furnishings and very accommodating. My 4 year old had smores for the first time in the back yard fire pit and loved his special chocolate sandwich.

Anniversary getaway

We had a lovely stay in Doe Bay. Rob was a fantastic host, communicated diligently, and ensured that we had everything we needed. Orca's has some incredible restaurants, hiking, kayaking, and views. It's an easy place to get around and it was an ideal time of year to visit. The location is fairly remote, which was exactly what we wanted. Night bring many deer onto the road so it was necessary to go slow and be very cautious driving to and from the house.

Beautiful home

This is a lovely home with a beautiful view. The owner was easy to reach and helpful. The outside lounge area is fabulous and heated/covered so can use anytime. It is very peaceful on this side of the island but a bit farther from town if you want easy access to restaurants and groceries. We had a very relaxing getaway.

We recently stayed at Robert and Kim’s home with our family and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The home is beautifully appointed and exceptionally well cared for. The spacious deck, with its generous and comfortable seating, quickly became a favorite spot. The overhead heaters were a thoughtful touch, allowing us to relax and enjoy the water views in the early mornings and late evenings.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and cook meals, the beds are cozy and comfortable, and the bathrooms are beautifully updated. Everywhere you look, it’s clear how much love and care Robert and Kim put into their home—the details are impeccable. The gardens in the courtyard are simply breathtaking and add to the charm.This is truly one of those rare listings where the photos don’t do it justice. Robert and Kim were also very responsive and helpful during our stay. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Orcas Island!

I cannot say enough about Orcas Island, this home, and the owners/hosts. Wonderful all the way around. While the property is a bit out of town, it is not that far and is in a lovely spot. Great views. The amenities are nice, with great beds and bathrooms, a wonderful deck to relax on, and a well supplied kitchen. Also, there is a beautiful garden to enjoy. The hosts are generous and very easy to work with. If you are going to Orcas, this is the place to stay.

This was a wonderful experience. Our family enjoyed coffee and talks on the large deck, a well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed, lunch (fried halibut, fries, and cherries) at the local Buck Bay Restaurant, boating tour, and a 1000 piece puzzle at the house. We also had cool nights, great weather, and a fun hammock to boot. The hosts are outstanding; a lot like family.

We had a great time

We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. The beds were very all comfortable (we used both beds and the pull out couch) with luxurious linens. The kitchen was well equipped and the views were outstanding. We had 6 people at the house (one age 5) and felt that there was plenty of room. While we didn't get to see any Orcas, we saw plenty of deer, birds, and a porpoise.
