Adventure cabin on the water, perfect for wildlife viewing

Cabin had everything we needed and was clean and well cared for. The location was a little remote, but that was not a problem at all. View from deck was wonderful. Beautiful location. Loved our stay!

Beautiful views, great property conveniently located to Moran Park and Eastsound village. We enjoyed walking down to the beach. There is beach access at the end of the road. We made several meals. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. There is a chunky friendly buck that hangs out near an apple tree. We brought him apples from in town. Loved the house!!! Had a great time on Orcas. Lots of great hiking.

Wonderful views. Plenty of room.

The cabin was so nice! It was clean and quiet. The views were beautiful, I just wish there was a path down to the water.

We had a fantastic week at the Whale View Waterfront Cottage. The location was absolutely perfect—peaceful, private, and with stunning views we never got tired of. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a family stay. We especially appreciated the outdoor space and the easy walk to the water. It was a great home base for exploring Orcas Island—just far enough off the beaten path, which we really enjoyed. We’d happily return. Thank you for a great stay!

The setting and views are wonderful. Very quiet and restful spot. We hope to return!

This was amazing and we don't feel we could have picked a better house to rent. Perfect for solitude and privacy. Loved the view and wildlife. Watched the local deer, porpoises, seals and eagles. We did go whale watching and from the boat saw orcas just north of doe bay. Only 15 mins from town. We will definitely rent this home again.

We loved the view, spent lots of time watching wildlife from the porch. There is an accessible beach a short walk away, which was nice. Plenty of room inside, and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We made our fifth visit to the Cedar House (Whale View) and found it just as cozy and comfortable as ever. The kitchen is small but well-equipped to prepare meals for a crowd. The views of eagles, seals and sunsets are striking. The beach at the end of the road is great for tide pooling at low tide or for kayaking at high tide. Seaside wildlife was plentiful while we were there in early June. Eastsound is close by for those who want to shop and dine out. The cottage is stocked with jigsaw puzzles and an eclectic library for those who wish to stay in. Whale View offers everything needed by visitors of all ages to have a delightful stay.

Wonderful house to stay and explore Orcas Island. Great view.

Property. The private beach. The views. The area. Very peaceful. Loved it.

We had a great time, we saw Deer, Racoon, and Eagles. The place was well stocked. We would have loved some better coffee mugs, but that’s just us being coffee snobs. The upstairs bedroom has a distinct odor and some cobwebs could be taken care of, but other than that the place was clean and spacious.
