Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern
Located on a 3/4 acre parcel surrounded by towering native evergreen trees, this 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath home manufactured in 2001 was completely remodeled in 2014/2015 and offers great privacy despite being just minutes to town.
The open layout and high ceilings take advantage of the 1,300 square feet, providing a very spacious feel in the home, and bedrooms on opposite sides allow privacy for couples and families.
You'll enjoy relaxing outside on the rear deck, overlooking the large backyard with landscape lighting during the evenings. The deck features a patio table & chairs, a Stainless Steel propane BBQ grill and leads to the outdoor fire pit and Hot Tub to end the day in relaxation.

“Definitely recommend Todd & Lori’s house for an Orcas Island / Eastsound getaway! Communication was quick and easy and made for a very smooth process throughout. Todd & Lori are clearly thoughtful with how they set everything up: from how the house is equipped for whatever anyone might need (even the pups!) to how they communicate and usher the process through. They even gave us a heads up when the house was ready early, so that we could get settled if we happened to be there early - small thoughtful things like that go a long way! House was as advertised — clean, quiet, cozy. Just off the beaten path enough for some peace and privacy...but close enough to all that Eastsound and Orcas Island have to offer. Would stay there again on another visit. Thanks Todd & Lori!”

THE LIVING AREA
Space to relax in comfort or to be entertained... your choice.
““We have rented homes all over the US, and this was by far one of the best places we have stayed, and our communication with Todd & Lori goes unmatched. You feel like you are staying in a cozy home rather than a rental. “”
Relax and enjoy the many amenities the home affords its guests
While the Island begs you to get out and enjoy nature, sometimes it's nice to just hang out and relax.
In the living room, you'll find a very comfortable leather sofa & love seat which provides the relaxing atmosphere you're looking for after a day of exploring Orcas Island and its many gems.
The theme of "Modern Rustic" is carried throughout the home with the details on furnishings and decor, and a neutral palette of earthy tones provide a tranquil environment for you to unwind.
For longer stays, the home also includes a full-sized washer and dryer (with complimentary detergent) should you wish to wash clothes/linens during your stay.
Wi-Fi Access? Yes, and always complimentary for our guests
We also offer complimentary high-speed internet through the Wi-Fi network with reliable service provided by RockIsland. You'll also enjoy access to the third bedroom that was converted into an office if you need to get any work done while staying at the home, there's a dedicated workspace with office chair and laptop/computer cabinet space.
On-island, but still connected
Even if you're trying to get away from it all, it's nice to be able to connect if you need to. With the varied topography of Orcas Island, you'll find most parts of the island do not have any cell reception at all. Fortunately, we receive cell signal for the major wireless carriers in and around Orcas Island Getaway.
Entertainment
Sometimes sitting back and relaxing with a movie or music is just what you're looking for after a long day of activities. If that's the case, you'll enjoy the Home Entertainment Center, which includes the following easy-to-use components for your enjoyment:
48” HDTV with Streaming Apps
BluRay DVD Player
A small (~40) DVD library with popular action, adventure, drama and a few childrens movies.
THE KITCHEN & DINING AREA
Allow your culinary creativity to shine
Amazing dishes are being served by the local restaurants in Eastsound and surrounding communities, so don't spend all your time in the kitchen. However, if you enjoy cooking at home as much as we do, then you'll appreciate a fully equipped, and well stocked kitchen to enjoy dining at home.
““One of the best, if not The Best places I have stayed. The description was accurate, lovely, clean home, beautiful property and the hosts were very attentive and quick to respond. Will definitely hope to stay here when I visit Orcas in the future...”
THE MAIN
Spacious and well-appointed with quality furnishings
The roomy Main Suite offers a quality King sized bedroom set with a firm and comfortable Dynasty 12" CoolBreeze Gel memory foam mattress. Between the walk-in-closet, two nightstands, and a full-sized dresser, you should have plenty of space for your belongings upon arrival.
““..the wonderful floor plan allows plenty of room for four people with lots of privacy for two couples.””
The Main Bathroom features a modern glass and travertine tiled shower, a corner soaking tub, and dual vanities. Quality linens and bathroom towels are provided to guests.
““We were impressed the moment we walked in with how clean the house was. The home is decorated so cute and is updated. It felt like a home away from home, except the showers at this house are way better than mine!””
THE GUEST
A relaxing guest bedroom and modern bathroom
The guest bedroom features a Dania bedroom set with a Serta® Perfect Sleeper® Davis Eurotop premium quality Queen-sized mattress set.
There's a full-sized armoire, as well as a single nightstand and lamp next to the bed. The guest bedroom has immediate access to the remodeled Guest Bathroom just around the corner.
In the guest bath, you'll find a large remodeled shower with a full-length glass rolling door and modern porcelain tiles in the shower and floor.

““The house was everything we expected and more. We immediately felt at home and didn’t want to leave! I honestly can’t think of anything I would change! ”
THE OUTSIDE
Enjoy the outdoors, both on the Island and at the home
Although the property is surrounded by enormous evergreen trees, you'll find the home is showered with sunlight throughout the day.
Lounge in the morning/early afternoon sun on the front deck and afternoon/evening on the rear deck with, BBQ grill and patio set and string lighting for ambiance during the evening.
Take a short stroll on the trails through the property. One trail continues and leads you to Crescent Beach Drive, where just a few blocks away, you could continue a short walk to Crescent Beach and the Crescent Beach Preserve where you'll find a 1.5 mile round trip flat trail to enjoy between Crescent Beach Drive and Mt. Baker Road.
Path meandering through the backyard is a relaxing walk, leading to a shortcut to Crescent Beach or to the Country Corner Market.
Crescent Beach, just a short 5-minute walk from the home.
Location, location, location.
The home is just 1 mile from the vibrant community of Eastsound, the main village Orcas Island, and only two blocks to the beautiful Crescent Beach and the Crescent Beach Preserve.
For outdoor enthusiasts, we're a close 3.5 miles from Moran State Park where you'll find Mt. Constitution with over 30 miles of hiking trails, mountain biking, canoeing & kayaking as well as several freshwater lakes.
““The property was great with a lovely wooded setting in back with the hot tub, deck and firepit... it felt very private...””
Relaxing couldn't be easier
Out on the back deck, you'll find a peaceful escape from everything. Hearing birds singing in the trees and frogs from a nearby pond are a great reprise from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life. The Hot Tub is located just around the corner from the deck and is sure to help you unwind and is a perfect size for 2-4 adults.
Near dusk, you will often see deer making their way through the back side of the property as they head to other surrounding areas in search of tasty treats (unfortunately it's usually our flowering plants). The large deck overlooks the landscaping and outdoor mood lighting - making for a favorite spot you'll spend relaxing day or night.
““This is a great house for a long weekend on Orcas with friends. The home is a short drive from Eastsound, and not so close that you feel like there is constant car traffic around you.. The house is setup for peaceful enjoyment if you would like to build a fire, grill, and relax in the hot tub. Evenings were quiet and the mattresses are comfortable. This is our second time staying at a property owned by Todd & Lori and they always think of everything. We would be happy to stay here again. Communication was comprehensive and well-timed.””
““This was our 5th trip to the San Juan Islands and without a doubt this was the best place we have stayed so far.””
