“I cannot say enough good things about Todd and Lori’s place. Everything down to the candles in each of the bedrooms and the lovely welcome note and gift was thought of. You will want for nothing in this house. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and if you like to cook or grill, you are in for a treat! The fully fenced yard is HUGE and our pups loved it. The deck offered a gorgeous view of the water and the beautiful flowers that adorned the property were an added bonus. The house is also in a quiet area and very private, though if you’re lucky enough to meet the neighbor Erika (she comes over twice a week to water the flowers in the yard), she is a joy to chat with. We had a great stay and I highly recommended this property!”

“We came back to Orcas Island after 28 years camping there with our son. We had a wonderful time hiking, exploring and relaxing and showing our 18 year daughter her brother's stomping ground when he was young.”

“Beautiful and clean home close to Eastsound but just far enough away to avoid all the tourist traffic. We traveled with pets and they had a bed, bowls and an entire basket of blankets and sheets for pups to use. Beds were INCREDIBLY comfortable and the master shower was so cool as it included a Bluetooth speaker! Huge smart tv and comfy all around! We would love to stay again!”

“The house was in a great location near Moran State Park. Lots of beautiful hiking trails and lake nearby. The house was clean and just as advertised. The hosts were very responsive and flexible with check in. All the bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen was well outfitted. The hot tub was a favorite of our kids. It was in great condition and kept very clean. We saw lots of deer and other wildlife right around the house everyday.”

“We rented both of Todd & Lori's Rosario homes for a week-long family gathering and the houses were absolutely amazing! Spotlessly clean, equipped with everything we could possibly need (including treats and toys for our dog), extremely comfortable, in the perfect location, and with stunning views. We were able to walk to Cascade Lake every day, take a quick and easy drive into Eastsound, prepare dinners for 12+ people in the spacious and well-equipped kitchens, and relax in the hot tub every evening. Todd & Lori were incredibly helpful and responsive, responding right away to all my questions even before we booked the homes a full year out. If you are looking to rent both homes together, note that they are approx. 200 m. apart across one road and up/down one steep driveway--it was easy to walk between them. These homes were exactly what we were looking for and truly made the whole trip amazing!”

“We stayed a week while our daughter attended Camp Orkila. We could not have asked for a clean home to share with another family. The kitchen was well-stocked with basics and utensils. It was nice to see that they left the cabinets stocked with basic ingredients that renters have left behind. The hot tub and grill were clean. Very easy transition from home to a week away. Many thanks, would rent again.”

“Our family of 4 plus 2 dogs were more than comfortable in this well-appointed rental. It’s clear the hosts had put a ton of thought into the details. It was a short drive to the dog park and pickleball courts, and to Eastsound for restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again if it’s available next time. :)”

“I was a little nervous when we first arrived. I didn’t realize it was so close to other neighbors, but when we opened the door, all my concerns disappeared. This is a lovely house, well taken care of and very comfortable. As soon as we settled in, we felt at home and away from the big city. The property is close to town but not too close. The hot tub was great. Beds were comfortable, nice linens. All the details were taken care of. Thank you for a great get away.”

“Beautiful and serene location with deer visiting around the house. It's the perfect location, tucked between the trees with view out into the water. Todd and Lori were extremely responsive and helpful for getting into the home. Truly a magical experience and appreciated the firepit, hot tub, and espresso machine! Everything worked with clear instructions. Lori and Todd, thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home and hope to come back soon!”

“Very dog friendly, and quiet. Excellent location to rest and recharge. We used it as a launch point to explore the several state parks on Orcas and the surrounding Islands. It's close to Eastsound which has all the necessities you'll need, but still has a secluded feel. We enjoyed our stay.”

“Great place for our time on Orcas Island! Quiet neighborhood location….worked well for us to explore Moran State Park and quick drive to Eastsound. Manual of area attractions and house instructions was helpful! Kitchen was set up for easy meal prep and pool table was great for evenings and rainy days. Very clean and exactly as pictured in listing photos..”

“Todd & Lori’s place is fantastic- great location, very well appointed (they even have dog bowls for the pups)! We had a fantastic time. The only negative I think worth mentioning is check-out. Check out is at 10am, sharp and the locks automatically change, so if you’re even a minute late, you’re screwed. This almost became an issue when I was packing the car at 10am and the door closed with my four year old alone inside and then locked me out. I had no way of getting in - luckily my 4 year old was able to open the door from the inside, but this would have been a very tricky situation had my 2 year old been the one inside alone or my dog. This should be made more apparent to guests so they can plan accordingly.”

“The place was exactly as advertised, and they were super helpful and responsive with any questions. We came with 2 golden retrievers, and it was really nice to have some practical amenities for them as well. The kitchen was well stocked with any tool you may need, and the pool table and hot tub were a nice way to relax after a long hike less than 5 minutes away. Thank you for a really nice weekend. We would definitely rent this place again.”

“We had a wonderful stay at this house. It was exactly as the pictures showed, clean, lots of space - we particularly loved the hot tub. I also want to call out the attention to detail. This listing allows for dogs, and when we got there they even had food bowls as well as a dog bed. The little touches that really make a difference. Highly suggest and would absolutely stay here again.”

“Todd & Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay (long story, but you can trust that if there are any mishaps or technical difficulties at the house they will work hard to make it right)! The house is in a stunning location, they keep things clean and comfortable, and five of us had plenty of space to spread out. Highly recommend.”

“We took a few days with our dog to get some R&R from the bustle on the mainland. Todd and Lori’s place was exactly what we needed! Peaceful, relaxing and close to Eastsound, Moran State Park, and the north shore. Siren especially appreciated the off-leash dog park a two minute drive away. There is a nicely stocked convenience store just around the corner, and you’re only a short drive from the grocery store in town. The property is located in a small, quiet neighborhood. The forested surroundings, illuminated beautifully with cleverly placed uplighting after dark, provide a very private setting for relaxing on the deck, around the fire pit, or in the hot tub. There are plenty of personal touches and the home is well stocked with the essentials you’ll need…and then some…for us and our dog. Todd and Lori are ideal hosts. Communication is top notch and the guide they provide is excellent for planning your island activities. Book this stay without hesitation!”

“This place was perfect for our little family gathering of seven, and one dog. The floor plan is open and inviting, kitchen was well stocked, fun pool table, and hot tub (which we did not use but I am sure would’ve been great.) Very impressive that pets are allowed and yet the place was in excellent condition. It was a pleasure to stay there.”

It's clean, lots of room, well supplied, quiet and just lovely every time. Lori and Todd are wonderful at communication and have assisted me with some special touches when we have sent techs on a special day...like their birthday!”

Clean, spacious, and had all the amenities one could need. The hot tub on the deck was the best way to end our day each night.
