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.

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.

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!

Beautiful woodsy cottage

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.

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!

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 nice nook for a visit, not built as a real residence. Loft with two beds we didn't use, master was roomy. Excellent place to base for a visit to Orcas island, has everything you need for a relaxing night or day.

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!

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!

Wonderful Stay

This is our second time at Dragon Fly Farm. It was relaxing and tranquil. We went canoeing on the pond in the afternoon. Had several great meals with local farm produce and fish. All the pans, kitchenware, glasses and utensils were provided and of good quality - only the wine opener needs to be upgraded. Linens, pillows and bath towels were beautiful and plentiful. We will be back.

Fun weekend Getaway

We went to Orcas for a quick weekend getaway, and brought our two small dogs with us. The owners are super easy to work with, and communication was great prior to the stay as well. The cottage is on the farm and felt very secluded, however it is a quick 10 minute drive into Eastsound town for food and shops. The location was perfect. We did some hiking on nearby Turtleback mountain and also in Moran state park on the other side of the island. We loved the personal touches of this cottage. Most every detail was thought of, including a fluorescent lantern for taking the pups out at night. I will say that you need an electrical engineering degree from MIT to figure out the lightswitches in the cottage (we never did find out what most of them did or how to turn on the sink disposal). We are already planning our return visit. Thanks for a fun weekend getaway!

Beautiful, peaceful getaway

This is a beautiful, peaceful gated property that has a pond with kayaks, TONS of dragonflies (at least there were 2 weeks ago, when we went), and everything you need for cooking at the property except they were out of black pepper. :) We had only a weekend stay, but I genuinely enjoyed our time there and would love to spend some longer time there. The owner's house is on the property, hidden behind trees up the hill, so you really feel you have the run of the area around the cottage. One note: not wheelchair accessible and would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues, as there are sort of large rocks in a slight incline that function as stairs, but nothing you can roll luggage over. Also, the ladder to the loft area is very steep - wouldn't be good for small children. We were adults and able to manage just fine, however. It's super cozy, too! There's even games, some movies, and books to read for a rainy day. We enjoyed cooking our dinners at home each night instead of jockeying for a dinner reservation, which pretty much none of the local places have available anyway, in my last several visits to the island. Basically, if you don't book ahead of time, only bars are available, which was not our scene. There's a nice grocery store in Eastsound that has high quality food, including bulk food section, and is much cheaper than eating out! We found it's easier to eat out on the island without a reservation during breakfast/lunch. Hope this helps!

Great Little Getaway!

Whenever we go on vacation I usually CANNOT wait to get up and explore the town on the first day. Not this time.....I was perfectly happy sitting by the beautiful garden drinking my coffee and watching the butterflies and hummingbirds while my kids and dog explored the property. This place is truly special.
