We'd originally booked our room for a family gathering the summer of 2020, then Covid hit and all plans had to be postponed. We were FINALLY able to take advantage of that original booking (albeit without family en tow!) this past week and were so pleased and delighted with everything about the place. We owned a vacation home on Orcas for many decades and know the island well, so it's always nice to discover a new corner, a new view, a new setting in which to enjoy this magical place. Otter's Pond didn't disappoint. Amanda, the proprietor, was warm and welcoming (and a fabulous chef!), the room was cozy and delightfully appointed; the deck was large and set in a most bucolic, peaceful surrounds. Gazing out at the lily-pad covered pond and watching the very active bird life in and around kept us occupied for longer than we'd have expected... it was just so engaging! Both breakfasts we were served were SUPERB and beautifully plated, our every need was anticipated and met, and we left feeling so glad to have had a new and wonderful experience on our beloved island. Thank you, Amanda, for an exceptional stay! Lorraine & Pete Wilke
