Enjoyed our five day stay. Staff are extremely courteous and very willing to help with ideas for hikes, and activities, inn is sparkling clean! Breakfast is delicious however rich and quite filling. We really enjoyed the fireplace and sherryx in the evening. No pool, but location was in the middle of the island. Rooms had own bathroom and pretty view... More

While on vacation in Seattle, I decided to spend two nights at this B&B recently. You catch the ferry at Anacortes and take a 1 hr ride over to Orcas Island. This property is, without a doubt the most peaceful and relaxing location I have ever been to. Bill and Susan Fletcher, who own it, are delightful and try very... More

My whole experience on Orcas Island was so incredible, stunning scenery, peaceful rolling pastures and ocean air, but what really made it special was how wonderfully I was treated by Bill and Susan (and their delightful help Maracruz and Becky) the three days I was there. Since I was traveling alone and was due in very late the first night,... More

My wife and I stayed two nights during the off-season this past February. Sure, you might compete with some rain, but it was beautiful and we had the inn to ourselves the entire time. We followed our hosts every meal recommendation and they were spot on, repeatedly. We even hiked Turtleback Mountain (be prepared) and didn't see a single person... More

We stayed one night at Turtleback Farm Inn during "off-season" - so expected a little rain! We had a wonderful time, and would certainly return. The owners were incredibly helpful, and led us to the best restaurants (for us - they really listened) on Orca Island. The inn was beautifully maintained, and the breakfast was spectacular. Because of the weather... More

We have been going to Orcas for 20 years and this place is a gem. We spent the morning walking around the farm and then walked to the trailhead at the Turtleback Preserve. The hike to Raven's Ridge was spectacular. The owners were wonderful and had a plate of cookies waiting for us after a long but relaxing day. The... More

We found Turtleback Farm Inn in "A Thousand Places to See Before you Die." We use this book on all our trips and have never been disappointed until now. We are big fans of Trip Advisor and use this site as well and have had many a good experience. We are not that hard to please and often read some... More

I was very disheartened this morning to read of your disappointment with our Inn and especially me. I am very sorry you found me lacking. I certainly take the comfort of our guests as the most important part of what I do each day. I can assure you your sheets were fresh and wish you had mentioned both your unhappiness... More

We stayed in the Bosc room in the newer building for four nights. The room was just shy of being perfect. It was spacious, beautifully appointed (hard wood floors with an oriental rug), had a very comfortable bed, four windows, French doors to the deck, and a large and lovely bathroom. The view of their farm/meadow with the hills in... More

I found the location to be quite beautiful. the room was tired looking and the bed is not comfortable. the hostess is not very friendly, seems like she is just performing her routine. We did not feel welcomed. we had arranged for a breakfast to go since we had to leave before 8am, and that was disappointing. A paperbag, placed... More
