“Never have I experienced such hospitality that comes from genuine warmth and caring. Congratulations on your dream! You have found the deep expression of your souls. Your creativity has enriched all of the lives of those who come to this magical place. Einstein said “I wish there were an island of people with good cheer and love.” It is here!” Tom, California

“Thanks again for a wonderful stay. We always love it here! Last night the moon was full and shining in through the sky light. In the middle of the night Dana rolled over and whispered that there were moon beams falling on me, and then he gave me a kiss. That says it all…” Karen and Dana, Oregon

“We loved the nightly symphony provided by the pond. I urge everyone to keep the windows open to get the full effect. Your hot tub and breakfasts are beyond compare. The serenity and tranquility of your home is a perfect compliment to this delightful island! Happy Trails to All,” George and Shelly, New Mexico

“Our vacation here was the honeymoon we never took. Your hospitality is unmatched. You have thought of everything and made our stay more than we dreamt of. The food and the people on this island are out of this world. We loved Moran State Park; the view from Mt. Constitution, the gentle trails around the lakes and the waterfalls. It’s so hard to leave and we are most definitely planning a trip back soon.Thanks again,” Justin and Melinda, Washington

We have been to B&B’s across the US and beyond. You’re definitely the best! Thanks very much for the fantastic breakfasts and your great attention to detail.” Scott and Julia, New York

“Sanctuary for the soul, deep breath arrival here soothes like the winged feather friend finding a silent perch on the lily pond…So brilliant this water, drop by drop crying from clouds above. Gently dancing down through those pines great branches, down, down to finally rest again in the sanctuary for the soul. And all the while that sweetness palpable bird song chirp chirp laughing swoop up down circling. Be like a bird eat, play, rest, dance, fly toward God and rest on earth mother.” Love and Aloha, Shannon, Hawaii

“What can we say? We have rested! We have slept! We have walked and talked and been silent! We have enjoyed the birds, the wonders of the pond- the lilies, the reeds, the sun’s rays across the water. We’ve died and gone to heaven!! We have felt pampered and that is unusual for us since we do the pampering. You taught us! The wonderful bed, the soft music, the gorgeous flowers in our room and every place we looked. The décor of our room as well as the house was restful, but beautiful-so pleasing! What can we say about the wonderful breakfasts? Fabulous! Delicious! Beautifully served!

We have never had a breakfast anywhere that compared to yours. We have been all over the US; we’ve lived in France, England, Africa, Korea and Canada. This was tops! God Bless you as you give a heavenly retreat to many.” Jane and Allen, California

“Third time here….and it gets better every time. The view from the Swan Room is wonderful. We will be back, Kirsten and Mark, London, England

“What a wonderful and magical place to be. Hearts filled with peace and tranquility begin a journey as new life and new remembrances. Romance and renewal in nature’s perfect setting. Otters Pond…a truly special place to come back too.” Marty and Jay, Washington

“What a combination-an enchanting setting, outstanding breakfasts, and hosts who truly care about providing every amenity. We had a wonderful stay! As I write I’m being serenaded by bull frogs and before that the ducks. And so before I drift off to sleep, thank you for making our trip to Orcas Island so memorable. Hasta la vista….Nancy and Barry, New Jersey

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is exactly what we were looking for! We found beauty, peace and serenity. We ate wonderful food, went kayaking, soothed our sore muscles in your fabulous hot tub, saw the big dipper, rested, read and painted. Your wonderful Otters Pond has been Otterly delightful and you both have been graciously accommodating. Thank you for your knowledge suggestions, delicious breakfasts and warm hospitality.” Rick and Kathy, California
