    A beautiful home with tons of room and a deck with a view that we didn’t want to leave. This is a great house for having a magical Orcas Island experience. The kitchen is very well stocked. We were able to make some meals and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy.

    Even better than pictured. So comfortable and fun! We loved playing the piano, great game selection, and lots of time on the deck listening to birds and watching boats and aircraft travel Eastsound. The sunsets are not to be missed. It was a wonderful stay!

    The house makes great use of the location with beautiful views throughout. It's a great house for a group with many good sized bedrooms. Our group of two families had a great time on the island and in the home.

    Excellent home for families. We were a group of eight who were happy to have two en suites and lots of outdoor space as well.

    The Gafford House is a wonderful place for a large group vacation. The view is magnificent and we saw several bald eagles and a golden eagle…don’t forget your binoculars. There is a large bird feeder on the deck to enjoy the local birds…so bring some bird seed. The kitchen is equipped with more than you could imagine needing to make a gourmet meal and we made several. There is a Webber BBQ for grilling. Games galore and puzzles. The tub in the master suite is amazing. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for relaxing, enjoyable, memory making vacation.

    The home is absolutely spectacular, it was everything and more than what was shown in the pictures. It was very clean; the kitchen is very well stocked and the bathroom amenities including the black facial wash clothes didn't go un-noticed. The back deck was lovely for viewing the spectacular views.

    Beautiful traditional home for family get-togethers near Eastsound. The furnishings and decor are lovely and make the generously sized rooms feel warm and cozy. For our group of nine, there was plenty of comfortable seating indoors and outside for eating and lounging. The deck is fantastic and we loved the views and just hanging out there. Also, the kids really enjoyed the games. It's a great house for mixed ages. The kitchen is also terrific - spacious and well-provisioned.

    The house was perfect for 6 older adults. Great location. Well equipped kitchen and well equipped house. Beautiful view. Nice wrap around porch. Communication from the company could have been better, but we were finally answered and check-in was easy. Would rent the house again.
