Such beauty!
Honestly, the views are unparalleled--no matter what room you are in, you are looking at beauty. The kitchen is sooooo well-appointed. They had every pan and implement I could possible need as well as several pantry staples on hand for cooking. As can be expected, the sofa bed is not comfortable, but the regular beds were super nice. The only downside was the low number of bathrooms--2 showers and 3 toilets among 9 people is a tight squeeze!

Orcas gem
Our family of 6 adults, 2 teens and one child had a wonderful stay! We cooked most meals in the well stocked kitchen and loved that there was ample outdoor eating space. The house is beautifully furnished and very clean, with gorgeous views and multiple decks. We loved being so close to Moran State Park which offered many activities for the kids. Our only (small) regret was that we had 3 couples, and we had to draw straws to see who got the king sized beds. We really wished the double was a queen, but it was a minor issue and we worked it out! Overall, a fantastic house in a beautiful setting!

Great vacation home!!
This house was beautiful and in a great setting. It had comfortable furniture and beds and lovely views. It was well equipped for our family of 5 adults and 2 teens, with everything we needed for cooking and serving meals. We all loved everything about it except that the TV in the family room did not work properly and even with emails to the manager and a return phonecall from the owner, the problem was not resolved in the week we were there. Thankfully, the DVD player worked. But otherwise, we all thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful vacation home, and would happily return.

Unbelievable view from back decks of the bay and forest. House was well appointed and comfortable. The upstairs bathrooms need to be updated and provide easier access to the showers. House location was perfect.

Beautiful home
Beautiful home with enough room for the family. We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean and as advertised. The beds were comfortable and the view was magnificent. The WiFi worked well for those in the family who needed to check in at work. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and utensils needed and the grocery store was just down the road. Location to town was perfect as well. Will definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience
The setting was lovely, off a dirt road settled in the woods with a view of the water through the trees. The neighborhood is quite and the other homes are not too close. The house is open with plenty of light. We enjoyed the outdoor decks for dinning and down time. Bedrooms are good size, comfortable and lots of storage. Kitchen is well equipped, easy for several people to work. Location is perfect. Close to the lake, hiking trails and the State Park. My only negative would be the white furniture which we covered with towels and the check-in and out times. 4pm was a little late in the day and 10am departure is a very rushed morning. Overall I would definitely book again
