Great location: not too far from town/ferry; located on an accessible beach to explore. We stayed for 4 nights, and it was perfect for our short trip. The host was very accommodating & helpful for us first-time visitors to Orcas Island. We are so appreciative of the Instruction Manual provided: \*\*\*Do read before! its very informative & will enhance your visit!\*\* House was clean & ready for us. Lots of utensils/pots/pans for cooking/preparing food in the kitchen. Thank you for providing dish soap & paper towels so we could clean up after ourselves! All equipment, firewood, towels, outdoor equipment, whatever that was mentioned in the manual or pictured in the listing was there. Spectacular! Hot tub was clean & ready for use, easy to open close (first time home hot tub user). Kayaks easy to unlock/lock up. (first time kayaker). All communications with host was easy, prompt, clear, and professional. Thanks Larry, Michelle, Jordan & cleaning crew for hosting us! We hope to visit again one day. ##### Lynnsey C.

Great back deck and hot tub for relaxing outside. Plenty of space with the multiple bedrooms and living areas. Large well stocked kitchen that we enjoyed cooking in each day. Loved the amenities, like kayaks, fire pit, and yoga mats. Everything on and in the property was amazing. The driveway is narrow and there are neighbors very closeby.

I know the amenities weigh into the high price point of this vrbo. But with such a high price point, the amenities should be VERY good. The row boat is missing the pins that hold the oars in place (and they were missing last year we were came too). This makes rowing the boat almost impossible. The hammock was broken before we arrived. The steps leading down to the beach are very overgrown. Both times we visited, it just left us very disappointed considering how much we paid for this trip. . ##### kelli r. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jeri B. 2 Aug 2017 #### Gorgeous location and well-equipped space Buckhorn Lodge's location: well, it would be hard to beat! Right on the bank facing the sunrise, with an ample deck and plenty of places to sit and enjoy. Inside, the main space is large and open, and again has plenty of places to sit or to gather around a table. Kitchen is big enough for several to work, or to hang and talk while food is prepared. Most everything you might want is there for gatherings, and much of it is of a reasonable quality, though generally well-used. Besides our family (8 folks), we had a few guests round for meals, and everyone loved sitting out to enjoy the views and the sounds of the sea. There is not a lot of public beach on the island, so the beach access was special. Less than 5 stars because things could have been cleaner (frig, dishwasher, some rank-smelling towels, dusty-smelling sofas, bedding, and curtains). Several in our group struggled with allergies during the night when we were inside for sleep, likely due to dust, and maybe molds. We love Orcas Island, and for sheer beauty and peaceableness this is the best place we've ever stayed on the island. ##### Jeri B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brittny P. 10 Sept 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic Waterfront We just came back from a week stay at this property and overall it was a great rental. The location absolutely can't be beat. Nothing better than waking up to the sunrise over the water and watching all kinds of wildlife from the porch. The owners also provided a lot of fun recreational options - kayaks, bikes, ping pong etc which was nice. There was a fire ban in progress so we couldn't use the fire pit outside but that couldn't be helped. In terms of the house itself things were a little more rustic than I thought they would be. There was a fireplace in the main living area that didn't work and I was under the impression that it had an insert that I assumed would look like a fire but it ended up just a little dinky electric plug in log set that just glowed. Also, the decor felt a bit dated and needs to be freshened up a bit. Towels, sheets, blankets felt old and a little musty. Plus, it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but in a vacation rental you don't want to be staring at family photos on the walls. It made me a bit uncomfortable like I was crashing in a strangers house. Again, location can't be beat and that's really what we were there for. Orcas is definitely the best of the San Juans in my opinion and we would go back in a heartbeat. ##### Brittny P.

The property is gorgeous and you can't beat the view. Spent time kayaking down the coast and cooking at the house after a day spent out exploring. It was a little chilly in the evenings so we used the fireplace quite a bit. Very easy to use and made for many cozy evenings. This place has lots to take advantage of! Wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Chelsea H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim M. 3 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Honeymoon House We spent the last leg of our San Juan Island Honeymoon here and it was just perfect. Very comfortable house with amazing views and outdoor seating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is so close to town for eating and shopping. Also close to hiking at Moran State Park. We swam in lakes and in the ocean. Took advantage of the hot tub and playing games. While the house would comfortably fit 4 more folks, it is perfect for couples. The hosts were very easy to work with. While you’ll find many rules and the need to sign a contract, it makes sense to keep the peace with the residents. Truly magical space! ##### Kim M.

The owners were responsive and attentive to our needs. The bikes that they had for us were excellent and well maintained! If you are lucky enough to get the dates you want do not pass this one up!, ##### ellie k.

Larry and Michelle are such gracious hosts (and also very fun conversationalists)! The place is pure magic, with an interesting history and stellar views. We saw loads of wildlife, including a curious mink! We were a group of family and friends and had an absolute blast on the kayaks and sitting outside enjoying the super-relaxed vibe. This was our second stay here and we are already planning/hoping for a third! By far our best VRBO experience ever. Thanks, Larry and Michelle! ##### Kristi Jo (KJ) L.

Such a beautiful location, a well appointed lodge that has everything you need to settle in and enjoy the island. ##### Brandon A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### doug g. 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow!

It was perfect for our family of five and would have fit more people if needed. Being right on the Sound was wonderful as we watched the seals and porpoises play every day! Kelly ##### Kelly A.

Was like staying at a great friend’s house! The view was stupendous and there were all sorts of things to keep us entertained (boats, a hot tub, sitting on the deck, watching movies!). Everything was so well thought through and appointed. The bedrooms might be lacking in a bit of privacy if you were to go with a group of couples. The third bedroom is a loft with twin beds that is open to the living room. But we had the best time and can’t wait to go back! ##### Miranda M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeff c. 22 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### August vacation The property was accurately listed and presented. Our family had a great week and spent 90% of our time outdoors on the island, in the backyard, and along the water. I was really impressed with all the little things that are there and well stocked for your use during the week.....everything from bikes to tin foil. There were only 2 things that were off putting but they were minor and did not effect our week. 1\. I, personally, would not hang family photos. It’s a beautiful family but if I am renting the place for a week, I at least want the illusion that it is mine :). Maybe take them off wall when you are not there. 2\. The language in the packet about being quiet and behaving is condescending and off putting. Also raising possibility of being arrested if not following the rules is a bit extreme and overdone. I do not own a rental, however, and I assume something has happened in the past to necessitate that which is unfortunate. 3\. I would have the trash guys give a heads up to the renters before he arrives. Walking into the kitchen and seeing some stranger in the entryway was surprising. All in all though...a great week and a spectacular location to be for our vacation. We would gladly rent here again ##### jeff c.

It's such an incredible spot. The full deck is just perfect to sit on and stare at the unbeatable view. The inside is great as well. There's plenty of space for everyone, and all the amenities you'd ever need. Larry clearly cares deeply about the experience of his guests. From his responsiveness in communication, to providing bikes and kayaks, to the improvements over the years. Thank you, Larry! Can't wait to come back! ##### Chandler H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Q. 2 Sept 2018 #### Amazing! A family birthday celebration for several generations brought us to this idyllic location. Everything you could possible need is supplied for you. All ages (from 5 to 75) had a great time playing on the beach, riding bikes, soaking in the hot tub and just chillin with an adult beverage. Overall, a vacation for the memory books. Larry was very responsive to any questions that came up. We voted to do it all over again next year. Thanks Larry! ##### Karen Q.
