Turtleback Mountain is a wilderness-preservation success story. Recently the target of a development effort on Orcas Island, a popular weekend destination for people from Seattle, it was saved from that fate largely by the efforts of one man and his organization, Tim Seifert, executive director of the San Juan Preservation Trust. Thanks to their work, the mountain is now a wilderness area, in perpetuity. As a bonus, a network of trails is now available to allow hikers and sight-seers a chance to explore the mountain. The trails are beautiful and serene and not nearly as crowded as those on the more popular Mount Constitution, which sits on the other side of the island. There are just a few open viewpoints, such as this one, but they do pack a punch. Beyond that, the forest scenery is just fantastic.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621551374329/a3f5dfec-0e3b-46bd-a47e-83d10c88180c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Turtleback Mountain 16 min drive \- 11.9 km - ![If you haven't been to Orcas Island, go next summer.

We spent untold hours in kayaks, puttering around the beach, and walking in the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped for family meals, and the back deck was my happy place for watching the resident blue heron and sea otters. Sherri was extremely responsive when a couple of minor issues arose. ##### Lora N. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick H. Sep 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful location and spacious house. I booked this house for my mother and father in law due to its location near our own house. The house was ideal for them and gave us some ability to easily get back-and-forth to our house while also providing ability for them to have their own peace and quiet. The grounds/gardens of this home are really great and it was an inspiration to what we'd like to do at our own home. Highly recommended, particularly if you'd like to be at a place on Orcas that is removed enough from all the activity at Eastsound but still close to the ferry landing. ##### Nick H.

We loved our stay, and the property had plenty of space for the group to gather together and have private time apart. Location near the ferry was nice and kitchen was well appointed. Thank you for being a fantastic choice for our group to make memories together. ##### Suzanne F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sandy c.

The setting is private and quiet, on a private cove. It has a wonderful deck with comfortable furniture. The main house is spacious but has a wonderful cozy cabin like feel due to all the natural wood paneling. The guesthouse was more modern and equally charming. We absolutely loved it. ##### Lindsay G.

We had our kids and grandbabies with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The view is stunning! Property is a little remote, but that was not a problem for us. Management was incredibly responsive to every question I had. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shauna L.

The house is big and comfortable and great for group dinners and hanging out. The landscaping is beautiful -- such a nice private feel to the place. Our favorite part is little fire pit down by the water. The calm bay is fun if you're into water activities. The master bedroom/bathroom are stunning... I could go on. ##### Shauna L.

The family room was perfect for hanging out and doing puzzles, and we enjoyed using the grill and walking down to the bench overlooking the ocean. The house was very clean and had every utensil and dish you could need for cooking or baking. Sherri, the manager, was extremely responsive and helpful for the few glitches we encountered. ##### GJ Pearl K. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Takao Y.

We were so lucky that we chose grindestone harbor! The view is even better than it looks in the pictures! The house was terrific for our family and friends. We really enjoyed our winter stay walking the trails and wading in the water. I can only imagine how much the place is in summer. The property management team was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for families and friend groups alike! ##### Takao Y. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam K.

The views are epic (truly... breathtaking!) with wildlife all around. By the end of the trip we had named the seals that came to visit and developed a bond with the otters that played in the bay. The peace and serenity of the space provided all of us with a wonderfully relaxing time together and everyone felt recharged by the experience. Highly recommend spending some time here if you can! ##### Adam K. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah R.

Absolutely gorgeous, gracious, generous - so spacious and yet cozy. We have no complaints at all - except that our kids insisted on using our bathroom because the view was so spectacular. Hehehe. Already dreaming about our next visit. ##### Sarah R.
