"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfortable, clean and charming! An older but well-maintained home with personality. Well-stocked -- we had everything we needed, including a grill -- in a quiet location and fantastic views. Wildlife viewing right from the cabin, including orcas, river otters, harbor seals, a bald eagle perched on a tree by the deck, a fox, and some deer. Clear instructions and good communication from the management company so there was no confusion or unpleasant surprises. Quick access to the alpaca farm and Roche Harbor. Also appreciated the discounts for booking excursions for kayaking and whale watching cruises! We would come back to stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable getaway from the crowds."

"The town is adorable, like something out of a storybook, and the hotel is right at the core. It is all wonderfully decorated and maintained and an all around romantic place to spend a weekend. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the bed. I am not sure if it was broken but it felt like it was leaning which made comfortable sleep a challenge."
