Your stay at The Cottage on the Bluff will be the highlight of your Orcas Island experience! This charming home is separate from the other Deer Harbor Cottages, perfect for those who want a little more privacy. Enjoy a lovely view of Deer Harbor, a handmade log bed, and log furnishings. The kitchenette has a mini-fridge, stovetop, toaster oven, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Outside, there are two decks facing Deer Harbor, with a four-person hot tub on the upper deck overlooking the Olympic Peninsula.

I gave a full summary to the property manager. He offered the cleaning deposit back. That’s fair. What’s not fair is paying nearly $900 for this place for two nights. Robbery. I’ll leave a full review elsewhere.

We stayed in the 'Cottage on the Bluff' for two nights and it was perfect for a weekend trip to Orcas Island. The place looks exactly like the pictures. It was clean and prepared for us upon arrival. The only lacking amenities were a washer and dryer, which is just something to take into account for a longer stay. I believe it is managed by a rental company and/or group rather than an individual, which I didn't realize until later (there are different people to contact on different days for support, but one number to contact prior to arriving). There are multiple units to rent on the Vacasa property, which is right next to Matthews Smokehouse. I believe there are two other units to rent which are joined at the hip about ten feet away. Although the property itself is right next to the Smokehouse, for the 'Cottage on the Bluff' specifically, there is a big tree between that helps with privacy at the entry and hot tub. The hot tub has a great view. There is a small, short trail leading from the road to the smokehouse ~20 feet from the lower part of the unit, which had some foot traffic.
For general location on the island, the unit and Vacasa property in general is minutes away from the Deer Harbor charters for whale watching, which seemed to be one of the best charters on the island (they were much more environmentally conscientious than the other tours i.e. stayed a certain distance away from the humpback whales by law, and sent professional photos to your email so you didn't have to have your phone out and could experience it in the moment). The property is about 15-20mins away from the middle of the island, which held a town called Eastsound that we referred to as 'downtown,' as it had a lot of the shops and restaurants on the Island.
8.0 / 10.0
The property is adequate, quiet (during our midweek stay anyway) and comfortable. Other than heating food in the microwave, there is little opportunity to ‘cook’ in the designated area (too small to qualify as a kitchenette). Potential guests should also understand the property is a bit of a trek to Eastsound for restaurants, etc., and on the far other side of Orcas Island from Moran State Park. That said, we had a perfectly enjoyable time. The view through Deer Harbor to the Olympics is stunning. Try New Leaf Cafe in Eastsound!

We had a wonderful time at the Cottage on the Bluff! It was very clean and so cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the cabin had all the amenities we needed. We loved spending time enjoying the view of the harbour. I hope we can make it back again some day!

My husband and I ( and doggy) loved our stay here. The cottage is well stocked with everything you need and there’s a fabulous bbq restaurant next door. Our favorite part was relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the beautiful view!

The cabin is really quaint. It’s small but has everything you need and laid out very well. The bed was really comfortable but the hot tub is the best part. We used it nearly every day and loved the view. It’s also a short, easy walk down to deer harbor. The BBQ restaurant on the property is delicious and was a huge plus!

Heat was on when we arrived- great since the temp had dropped!
Very quiet. Comfy bed- we slept really well.

Great property. Had some issues getting towels and service to some issues we had. When a guest tells you the window a/c unit stopped working, don’t respond with a screen shot of UNIT HAS NO A/C doesn’t go with the picture of the unit I sent you back. It was poor that after you ask if we want another night and then call for another night extra night do discount was given. You guys were very difficult to communicate with. The refrigerator stopped working and we lost over $100 in food!

Excellent location by Deer Harbor Inn. Steps away from a nice BBQ restaurant. Family friendly. Games on the lawn. The pictures of the property are accurate. It is a very charming cabin perfect for a small group. Within easy walking distance to the harbor. True, you are not in Eastsound but it’s a small island so it doesn’t take long to get there. If you are looking for a little peace and quiet on your island getaway this is it. And the view from the deck can’t be beat.

From the moment we walked in, this little cottage felt so homely! There were tons of people outside playing the games & eating at the BBQ place right there in the front. We had a blast after coming back from all day at the beach. It was perfect!

Cute and simple little cabin. Had everything we needed for a vacation. The Tv has Roku so it made it simple to watch movies. The hot tub worked great and you can sit and watch the sunset or stare at the stars from inside it. The best part about this cabin is Matthew's smokehouse restaurant that is a 1 min walk from the front door.

The view is spectacular. The amenities were great nice bed, very comfortable. Nice little kitchenette a table and lots of deck space. Even had a couple of island black tail deer come by for a visit. Very quiet and close to town and ferry.

Would stay again but just for the hot tub
When we first arrived it took over an hour to get the Wi-Fi up and running, after that it worked ok but not what you want to do after a day of traveling. (You’ll have no service here). The pans and utensils all had to be cleaned by us prior to use because they were still dirty. The kitchenette was super hard to cook in (super small) and washing dishes was very difficult. All in all, for the amount charged for the cottage, we didn’t feel we got the best we could be offered. Orcas Island was beautiful tho and there were spots to walk along the beach close to the cottage which was a plus.

Beautiful view but overpriced
Loved the view and the hot tub. However with all the extra fees I paid over $700 for 2 nights. For a one bed plus futon. Although place was certainly livable it was certainly nothing fancy and I would not stay again at that price.

You have a great view of the harbor from the deck and hottub.

Unique cottage near Deer Harbor
This small, well equipped cottage is within walking distance of Deer Harbor Marina. The outside decks provide space for barbecuing, outside dining, and relaxing in the sun. The hot tub is a plus.

Nice stay at rustic cabin
We enjoyed our stay at the pet-friendly rustic cabin, adjacent to a great restaurant and walking distance to parks.

Cozy with a view
We had a wonderful stay. A cute cozy spot with a great view. Even though it was amongst other cottages and right next to a restaurant we still felt we had tons of privacy. The cottage had everything we might need and we were so thankful we could bring our two small dogs.

cute cottage
The cottage was actually larger than I thought it would be. It fit me, my husband, two kids and our dog just fine. Even though I called and double checked, there were no linens for the futon. But when I contacted Lukas, he sent someone within the hour to deliver the linens. Overall, a nice stay. The restaurant across the grass was very popular, we didn't get a chance to try since they sold out of food by 5:30pm!

Perfect Little Spot
We stayed for a holiday weekend and loved being in quaint Deer Harbor away from the hustle and bustle. Restaurant on site is so convenient for a drink and lawn games, nice that they close early though so not a disturbance. Views from the hot tub were beautiful, there's a public path that leads right to the Marina, and Turtleback is just a short distance away for hiking. Hope to be back.

Cute cabin, good location, but not clean at all
We got to the cabin and it was a beautiful area! Pretty quiet and private. However, upon arrival, we noticed that it had not been cleaned at all. The fridge smelled like rotten food, there were ants, the blankets hadn’t been laundered, and there was dust caked on the lamps. Overall, if the cabin had been cleaned, we would have loved the stay.

Lovely view, a few minor challenges
Great view and comfortable bed. Very small kicthen setup, but we got a lot of take out. Propane fireplace was set to go to 80 in the middle of the night, but we figured out how to go manual after that. A couple things could be fixed: ants, dirt and leaves in hot tub, running toilet, and incorrect sign about check out time (discovered when housekeeping arrived early/not early). Garden crew did several loud hours of weed whacking while we tried to take care of some daytime work needs. I guess there were more challenges than I thought, now that I’m writing this. None ruined our experience though. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy cottage with a gorgeous view!
We loved staying at this cottage. It’s in a beautiful, quiet little spot on the island, about a 15 minute drive from the main part of town. It had everything we needed, and the private hot tub was a huge bonus! This is really the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. We will definitely be coming back.
The one thing I’d note is that the bathroom floor doesn’t have a rug and gets really slippery when wet- make sure to put a towel on the ground to avoid taking a spill!
