Dreamy Retreat in the Woods with Firepit, Fireplace, Free and Large Deck

Summary:

Cottage at Moran State Park



The Space:

Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and escape to this woodsy cottage just waiting to put you at ease as you spend time with the ones you love most. This home will give you the perfect mix of peace and privacy, yet you will be situated across the street from Moran State Park and a short distance from Eastsound. A quick walk from the house leads to Cascade Lake for swimming or connecting to miles of hiking trails in the park. If you feel like staying at home base, there will be plenty of ways to spend each day. For some fresh air, step out to one of the two covered porches with a favorite drink in hand and watch the local deer graze below. Lounging in one of the two hammocks. playing lawn games, taking a kayak to the lake, or gathering at the firepit will also be a blast. Inside, the whole crew will love cooking meals together in the full kitchen or kicking back in the adjacent living room next to the fireplace. The loft has space to play or work, with internet speeds that can handle Zoom calls or streaming movies. The kiddos will have their own space to hang out as well with the 'Harry Potter cupboard” under the stairs!

Great retreat location for grandparents and parents with three small kids. House was well equipped to keep young one’s occupied. Outdoor adventures were plentiful! The house itself is charming and very comfortable! We will definitely look into this property again if/when we’re lucky enough to come back to Orcas Island.
Cascade Waterfall hike - very close by.

Great House

This house was a good fit for our family. Small quiet, easy check-out procedures, far enough from the road for kiddos to play outside, close to Eastsound and Moran State Park. I would stay here again.

Island getaway

This was such a nice place for a quick getaway. It is decorated so nicely and I enjoyed staying here for three nights with my daughter and two grandsons. It’s a good house for kids, as they have lots of toys to play with and a play area upstairs away from the adults. The play closet under the stairs was a hit. It was so quiet and we had such a relaxing stay.

Great place for families

We had a wonderful stay and loved all the amenities for our kids (pack and play, books, toys, games, little play nook under the bed, washer and dryer, ample linen and towels). We slept amazing and cooked delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Having the opportunity to walk to the lake and a little sandy beach in only 15 minutes was fantastic, as well as the coop and Island Market 10 minute drive away. We would love to come back. The house is in amazing shape and the vacation property management is very good. 10/10 would recommend!

Perfect honeymoon getaway

My wife and I chose to stay here for our honeymoon and it was truly magical. The surroundings were amazing. The house itself was extremely cozy, spacious, and well taken care of. We loved drinking coffee out on the porch and enjoyed the sounds of the forest. We even had a deer sitting about 10 ft away from the back porch for a couple of hours! Our favorite parts were the Harry Potter books available and the cupboard under the stairs! Can't go wrong with choosing this place for your stay.

Dreamy Retreat is comfortable, spacious, clean, and located close to Eastsound. I highly recommend this home. The only issue which was there was a wine opener although no wine glasses. I asked Vacasa if they could please provide. They responded that this amenity is not included in the stay. After a bit of urging namely that I’m sure the homeowner would be happy to supply the glasses they did try to accommodate. Unfortunately there were no “glasses in the warehouse” for the house. I appreciated their effort after a little push from me.
