My friend and I loved our stay in the Gnome house and our adventures on Orcas Island. The property was lovely and quiet and the house was cute and charming! Thank you for the great memories.
The Gnome house is absolutely as charming as the pictures show. It's not a gnome-like facade on a shack, it really is straight out of a fairy tale. The only hesitancy is that appliances and bathroom fixtures have not been updated since ... the early 70's(?). So be aware that the all-electric stove, older fixtures, and no dishwasher may slow you down a bit. But slow is likely the reason you're here.
The gnome house was the perfect get away for our anniversary. And Meg was the perfect host. We loved our stay.
Native Pacfic Northwesterners and had never been to Orcas Island. What a treat! Loved the house from the moment we pulled in at dusk and it was lit up and welcoming. Obvious care was taken to make us feel comfy. Great homebase for day long adventures around the island.
The Gnome House was so much fun! Our three kids loved exploring the property, playing with the dogs and cat, and embracing the magical feelings of the house. Meg and Bob were wonderful hosts and the whole family was sad to leave. We will definitely be back!
We loved our stay at the Gnome House for our kids’ spring break trip! Our 8 year old believes she saw a fairy in the sleeping nook before she went to bed. The kiddos were enchanted by the magic of the place. The owner’s pets were so friendly and sweet. Our 4 year old was so sad to leave the animals. You can tell much love and thought went into the design and execution of this cottage. The playground was awesome with an amazing view! Thanks to Meg and Bob for giving us a lovely vacation!
We had a lovely stay at the Gnome House! Definitely worth the stay, especially if you are looking for some place unique to stay. The Gnome House is one of a kind!
We had a great time everything was great.
We’ve made it our mission to seek out unique stays. The Gnome House definitely ranks number one. It was even more warm, comfortable and whimsical than we’d anticipated. From the craftsmanship, decor, and scattered gnomes inside and out, there is a wonder to see wherever you look. Sunny and Shep, the dogs, were a delight. Meg was kind, cheerful, and helpful. Lucky us to have found this stay.
Beautiful traditional cottage, amazing woodwork. A cozy escape. The vibe is sort of like an old English pub that slowly modernized over time, some inefficiencies but you can tell thought went into the creation. Some people have complained about spiders but there were no more than in the average PNW house. Be aware the sleeping spaces don’t have doors, we were a group of friends there for a wedding so it was no big deal. Owner is welcoming and friendly with lots of helpful local information. Be sure to check in with them in the summer on any fire bans, sometimes the local community makes a rule that is different from the county. Owners pets are very welcoming and friendly. Be sure to check out the view from the playground!
The Gnome House is comfortable, homey and peaceful. It's not fancy but all the necessities are there for a quiet, restful stay. The owner's dogs are the sweetest and the property is beautiful.
My wife and I had a wonderful time . What a magical Place to stay Any lifesize nomehouse no house. The owners were fantastic I'm fantastic. Highly recommend people consider The nomehouse has a place to get away fantasize and recharge.
We had the best time at the Gnome House! It was a perfect honeymoon getaway for us. Absolutely loved how the house was set up when we got there just perfect! And the hot tub! Thank you for being a part of our happily ever after!!
Lovely place with fun details! Our kids loved the cubby bed and the pets. As mentioned in other reviews, there were some cobwebs and bugs. Got a little hot some nights with only one window that opens in the house. We also loved the hot tub and fire pit. The hosts were responsive and kindly let my parents park a boat trailer on their lot when they were in a pinch.
My daughter and her twin cousins had a magical time at this cute gnome house. We would definitely come back!
Lovely unique stay. So welcoming right down to classical tunes greeting us as we walked in. Shep and Sunny were especially a delight for us and our pup Meadow to get to know. Stellar view from the playground bench even in stormy weather. Thanks Meg and Bob for building this lovely cottage.
