confused customer
We were given a code to get into our room so there was NO interaction with staff. Trying to figure out where the lodge part was very confusing. I feel they need a sign outside the building to let visitors know that is the lodge since there is no interaction with staff.

We had a lovely stay @ Deer Harbor Inn. Debbie was the perfect host, making us feel comfortable and welcome. The property is lovely, and the location is great. I would highly recommend Deer Harbor Inn, and we would definitely return should we have the luck to return to Orcas.

Adorable cabin, with cozy rooms. Matthew’s Smokehouse in the back of the property was delicious! Would definitely recommend as a great place to stay while you’re on Orcas.

Unfortunately, we woke up after the first night to ants all over the table, sink and windowsills where they were coming in. They continued throughout our visit.

Would love to stay there again.
I am very pleased with my stay at Deer Harbor Inn. It’s charming, rustic, and very peaceful. I stayed in the main lodge, room 1 with 2 two twin beds. Here’s what I appreciated about the place.
• The room is well appointed with coffee maker, fridge, hair dryer and plenty of towels. Nice toiletries too!
• WiFi is also good.
• Check in was easy as they send you a code in an email 24 hrs beforehand
• Foyer has microwave and icemaker with cups and extras for your coffee bar.
• Matthew’s Smokehouse and Island Pie Pizza are just a stroll away.
• Super comfortable mattresses
• While not the fanciest place it was extremely clean

Short walk to the marina. Nice and quiet. Room was perfect. All amenities on tap and ready to go. Ice was full and ready for beverage arrivals. Not one thing to complain about and many to praise. Will definitely stay here again.

At check-in we never gmet a human being or got a response to our text message asking whether we could check in.
The room was pleasant and had a nice view of the water.
Based on the listing we thought the restaurant next door offered breakfast, but it does not, so we had to drive a ways to eat breakfast.

Late notification of how important it is to reserve ferry ride several days in advance, hard to find room if you arrive at night as it is poorly lit and lacking in lit up signage. Room was very clean but it is old and small but it was quite clean. We passed on the restaurant on the propert after seeing the sweaty chef in the kitchen. The property has potential even though it’s old but we are accustomed to places a bit better maintained. Orcas Island is about enjoying the great Northwest and we still had a good time.

The quiet rustic appeal though I returned 1 evening finding something on fireplace not belonging to me so wondered who was in my room while I was out. Prerequest no maid service. Kinda freaky.

There was no office or anyone on the property to answer. Couldn’t find the room. Had to ask a neighbor. No instructions for door access or Wi-Fi. No cell coverage. Property looked like rural Maine in the 50s. If you don’t like BBQ, you are out of luck on food. It seemed clean. No staff or other customers. Creepy. Cue the Psycho music.
