Cottage-in-the-Barn on Dragonfly Farm

Go back in time on our quintessential island farm: sweet accommodations, garden at your doorstep, pond with kayaks and canoe, and complete tranquility and privacy. This charming cottage has all amenities in a pastoral setting; the perfect secluded hub for your island adventures, equally well-suited for a family vacation or romantic get-away. Tucked away in a valley below our main house, it is adjacent to our garden with produce for your table. Feel free to stroll to the bluff for views of West Sound, or take the canoe and kayaks for a spin. Fall asleep to the lullaby frog chorus. With the pond and plethora of beautiful vegetation, our 25 acre farm has become a bird sanctuary, with hundreds of species throughout the seasons. This one bedroom plus loft apartment is well-appointed with quality furnishings. Queen bed in the bedroom, two twins in the loft above (accessible by beefy ladder with security gate at the top), and full sized leather sofa bed in the living room. Can sleep 5-6 cozily. Full kitchen, propane barbecue, flatscreen and blue-ray player for entertainment (no cable or satellite), wireless internet connection, and warmth from the propane heating stove. AND our 25 acre farm adjoins Turtleback Mountain Preserve! This island treasure has amazing hikes which vary from old forested areas to phenomenal vistas of neighboring islands and beyond. We are located just five miles from the ferry, five miles from the main village of Eastsound, and a mere 1 1/2 miles from the waters at West Sound, including a marina and private dock for moorage. SJC Permit #00PR0V77. MARCH 2020 UPDATE: due to Corona Virus concerns we're offering a full refund in the event cancellations are necessary. Please note that we thoroughly disinfect the cottage between guests.

Wonderful getaway in a lovely cabin

Spent two beautiful days here for our 12-year-old‘s birthday between enjoying Seattle and travelling towards Yellowstone. Loved everything about the property and the pleasant communication with our hosts. We used the kayaks and enjoyed sitting anywhere in- and outside. Very calming!

Serene & comfy

I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The setting was exactly what I hoped for and the cottage itself was beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean, private and quiet- and the gas fireplace was perfect. It was a very short drive to get anywhere I needed to go in town. I can’t wait to book another stay sometime soon!

Sweet, little cottage with a lovely view of the garden. Wonderful for sleeping in, reading books and watching birds. The hummingbirds are not messing around. This was a good size for a family of three. Our dog loved the onsite walk to the pond and short path around the barn.

This is where you want to stay on orcas Island. Centrally located and secluded. Easy to get to and the accommodations in the cottage are spectacular. Everything you need in the kitchen to make a nice meal. The garden provided us with an onion and celery. A really nice treat.

Wish we had time to stay longer!

We stayed at the cottage-in-the-Barn for a couple nights with two college age kids and dogs. We loved the quiet setting and found it to be a great base for exploring Eastsound and other parts of the island. The cottage was clean and light and charming. It was beautiful in late winter but with the gardens and greenhouse, it must be wonderful in spring and summer!

Very charming

We stayed 3 nights for a weekend wedding. The setting was quaint, quiet and enjoyable. The house could easily be perfect for 4. Kitchen well stocked, as was bathroom.The furniture was cozy as was the overall feel of the 'cabin'. We really enjoyed the hummingbirds at the front porch. We were 12 minute drive from ferry dock, and a bit closer to Eastsound. There is a great winery 2 minutes drive towards town. We really enjoyed the island and spent a lot of time seeing different areas-the opposite side of the island was a 30 minute drive.I would highly recommend this rental!

Idyllic cottage in a barn

Our family had a great stay at Dragonfly Farm. The cottage in the barn was very cute and comfortable. The kids loved paddling around in the kayaks and seeing the frogs and dragonflies on the pond. The garden was beautiful, and we harvested some kale and snap peas for dinner. The host was very responsive. We'll be back!

Fully equipped cottage with convenient access to both Eastsound area and the ferry terminal area. We found it easy to prepare a few meals with the full kitchen or go out when desired. Mid-vacay laundry “at-home” was also a plus. My only quibble was soft water at meh water pressure in shower made rinsing slightly more lengthy. I almost hesitate to bring it up bc it was otherwise a highlight of our Pac NW vacation!

Really liked the gas fireplace! Warmed up the place in no time. We played some of the supplied games nightly. Loved having a Bluetooth speaker too! The pillows and comforter were all wonderfully soft though the mattress was hard. One night I dozed on the couch, which was more comfy.The garden across from the cabin is charming. Only downside was that it was being worked on by a team of landscapers midday Saturday (complete with something motorized…a chainsaw? Maybe a leaf blower?) so my plans to read a book on the porch were quashed. But if you’re staying in a popular rental, thems just the odds. Yardwork’s gotta happen sometime. Orcas Island Winery is only the way into town from this direction. Was nice having an excuse to stop by!

Lovely spot for a perfect fall weekend

This place is cozy and truly felt like home-away-from-home. The ladder to the loft is steep, the kitchen small, but it's a lovely spot for a small cozy group and perfect for our family trip. We had a fantastic time on the island and using the cottage in the barn as our homebase - enjoying the fresh veggies from the garden, the fireplace, cooking fresh crab in the kitchen, walking the grounds - couldn't have been more lovely. Things are well designed and appointed. Beds comfortable, and communication with the host was easy and quick. We'll be back!
