Cedar Sunrise is a modern house that speaks to nature lovers with an appreciation for art and design. Created by award-winning architect Geoff Prentiss, Cedar Sunrise highlights the island’s distinct natural beauty while offering a modern, yet exceedingly comfortable, design.

Upon arrival, wind down the lighted, wooden steps to the secluded home. Open the door and absorb the warmth of the custom millwork and vaulted native fir ceilings. Appreciate the mosaic of artfully-designed windows scattered playfully throughout—each like its own picture postcard with views from every room, bringing the outside in. Enjoy the cozy, covered seating area on the large deck; which offers stunning views of the nearby sea and is the perfect place to soak up the dark, starlit San Juan night sky.

Take your perch in the Eagle’s Nest—this unique, private, loft queen bedroom boasts cathedral windows that offer the sense of being, like the birds, deep within the trees themselves, peering out to the sea. Open the room’s side windows to peek at the deer, take in the sounds of the forest and listen to the waves lapping on the pebble beach below. The main floor king bedroom is just what it needs to be—quaint, intimate and surrounded by windows and trees.

On the main floor a well-appointed cook’s kitchen awaits. Fire up the Viking range to prepare fresh clam linguini from Buck Bay Shellfish and toss a salad with island-grown produce from the Maple Rock Farm Stand. Enjoy your feast in the spacious dining room or open up the French doors to eat al fresco with a view to the water. An outdoor grill is also available.

Spend your time curled up on the couch while you relax with a book or listen to your favorite music on the Sonos sound system. Wander down the path to relax on the hammock overlooking the water and take a rejuvenating nap. Or, head upstairs to the comfy loft for TV viewing with access to DirectTV or log into one of your streaming services. And if you need to work during your stay, you can count on reliable WIFI throughout.

Cedar Sunrise invites adventure by day and cozy nights year-round. Located just 20 minutes from the ferry landing by car and a leisurely 4-mile walk or bike ride into town, the quiet home feels private and remote, yet it’s incredibly convenient. Head to the charming village of Eastsound to peruse local shops and cafes or visit the food co-op or well stocked supermarket. Foodies delight in the island’s farmsteads and farm-to-table dining options like The Inn at Ship Bay and Matia. Seafood lovers swoon at the oyster shucking and crab cracking options at Buck Bay. And no trip to Orcas is complete without a stop at Brown Bear Bakery, offering the best chocolate croissants outside of France.

Up for fresh air and exercise? Take a day trip by bicycle or car through pastoral Crow Valley to Deer Harbor. Enjoy hiking Turtleback Mountain with amazing island vistas or try Moran State Park’s Summit trail to the top of Mt. Constitution (the last mile is sure to burn off those chocolate croissants). Pack a picnic and head to Moran’s Cascade Lake for a day of swimming and paddle-boarding. Guided kayaking treks and whale watching trips are also available through local outfitters.

However you choose to spend your time, savor each day at Cedar Sunrise—where nature, art and modern design combine for an incredible memory-making experience.
