When you're looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone, Orcas Island's Paris Cottage may be just what you envision. This waterfront vacation rental home will delight your senses with its interior warmth and beautiful natural setting. It features southwest views through a wall of windows in the living room and a private sand and gravel beach just across the street. (If you bring a kayak, the beach is a great launching site.)

The surrounding scenery is mesmerizing in all seasons. No doubt you will spot the eagles that come to feed off of scraps provided by the neighboring shellfish farm (sometimes up to seven eagles!), or await the salmon that enter the creek running into the bay. Canadian geese will entertain you as they flock in 2 1/2 acres of nearby farmland and fields. But the bird life, sailboat and ferry traffic, vistas over Lopez Island and Cattle Point, sunsets reflecting off the Olympic Mountains are just the beginning of the pleasure you’ll find staying at Paris Cottage.

Inside, you’ll relish the special warmth of cozy spaces. There is a queen bed, with a brand new mattress of the same type as used in the Belmont Hotel suites in New York City. An architecturally designed custom headboard on the bed includes sliding windows at pillow height – adjustable on each side for fresh air while sleeping . The dining room is like a greenhouse, surrounded by windows overlooking the countryside. Through a narrow doorway you’ll find the bathroom offering a small shower and Italian sink. There’s a flat screen HD/TV with satellite reception and a DVD. The living room has comfortable down-filled armchairs with a spectacular view.

French doors lead outside where you’ll relax in a screened alcove shaded with parasols, or on a deck with a double chaise and privacy screen. At day's end you can soak away the cares of elsewhere in the hot tub.

Paris, France is known as the “City of Light” - the “Island of Starlight” is Paris Cottage on beautiful Orcas Island. Paris Cottage is in the quiet hamlet of Olga, a 20 minute drive from Eastsound Village and a 45 minute drive from the ferry dock. You’ll pass through spectacular Moran State Park on the way, where you will likely want to return for hiking and swimming. Buck Bay Shellfish farm is a family run business that is within walking distance of the home where they have a wonderful array of seafood to purchase, as well as a Bistro cafe. Nearby is Catkins Cafe for breakfast or lunch to enjoy a meal or two.

Peak Season rates will apply to Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday dates. Also note due to its size and styling, this cottage is not suitable for children. If you have specific questions regarding this home, please let us answer your questions prior to you booking the home.

Please note this home has a ramp and no steps to the entrance.

Perfect get away
What’s not to like? A sweet, cozy little home, with a fairly well-appointed kitchen (bring spices if you want them + oil and other standards), a tiny bath (but good shower) and comfortable bedroom. The view of the bay is a knockout. The view of the bay from the hot tub is a dream. We can’t wait to go back. Maybe this time BuckBay Oysters will be open! What a disappointment to miss it.

9 Days in Olga
Lovely and very comfortable. We stayed 9 days and I would have appreciated 9 coffee filters instead of 5. We bought groceries but didn’t think we would need to buy house essentials.

Great location and cute house
The property is in a great location. We loved getting to enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning and a cocktail in the hot tub at night, both with a great view of the bay. Being located just a short walk to the oyster farm made for a nice lunch. The house its self was very cute and cozy. We took advantage of the full kitchen. We would definitely recommend this place.

Mesmerizing!!
This getaway was perfect for what I was looking for! My dog and I wanted a relaxing week with some exploring and hiking. The place was very clean and well appointed. The weather was warm and dry. The view was mesmerizing watching the tide empty out the bay and fill back in, along with the sounds of the birds. The property is large with little traffic. we hiked at Mt Constitution, Cascade Lake, and Obstruction Pass. The views of the surrounding islands are beautiful! Lastly, the bed was heavenly! I would come back for sure!
