Great location!

If you’re looking to be near the town, you can’t do much better than this. Short walk to the cafes and restaurants. Has a lovely tub upstairs, which felt amazing after a long day hiking. Would recommend to anyone looking for an Eastsound getaway.

Wonderful girls weekend

Friends from grade school, now in our 50’s, enjoyed a quiet and relaxing four days. Nice easy walking path to town, plenty of good restaurants (one person was gluten free and restaurants were knowledgeable!) house was lovely with plenty of room for alone time if needed. Hiking trails and views galore! It was a wonderful time.

Cozy for a winter stay

This was the third time I’ve rented this beautiful home in January or February, which has to say something ! I would buy this place in a heartbeat. With the cozy fireplace, well designed lighting and fully equipped, full size appliances it is perfect even if it’s rainy … but THIS time the weather was unusually nice. I’m sure it’s very nice “ in season” but Orcas Island is much too crowded in summer.

Orcas Comfort

This is the third time staying on Orcas Island. This last time the rental was within walking distance to Eastsound. This made things very convenient to walk to the different shops and restaurants. The house was in great shape, clean and comfortably decorated. The few things that could easily be fixed are the oven, dining chair seats and a tree brushing against the upstairs east bedroom. We weren’t able to turn on the oven and was latter notified that we had to leave the broiler on for 5 minutes before it works. The dining chair seats were not the firmest but still okay and the tree branches by the east upstairs bedroom when the wind blew made some noise. These were all minor compared to the great and relaxing time in the beautiful home. We definitely would stay again!

Great stay!

Happy that we choose to spend a week here. This is our 2nd time to visit Orcas Island. Stayed at a resort the first time. Definitely preferred staying at a house vs resort/hotel. It was very cozy, clean and comfortable. The island restaurants as well as the few grocery stores close early. It was great to be able to prepare meals. The living room, kitchen and half bath are located middle main floor. The kitchen pantry has all the basic spices. The home was very relaxing after day of hiking and whale watching. Eastsound was a great location. The property management company had clear instructions to get into the home. No issues with wifi. The day of our arrival we received a message that the home was ready for an early check in. They sent a message to make sure that the home was clean and if there were issues. The house was very spacious. TV was easy to use. There were books, dvds and games. Fireplace in the living room was so nice. Plenty of towels, shampoo, soap! One thing that I will mention is that guest take stairs to get to a 1st floor basement bedroom that has an extra living area and the laundry room. The other bedrooms are located on the 3rd floor. If you have any physical issues walking/climbing stairs this may be something to consider. Eastsound shopping was about a 5-minute drive. Small public beach was a 5 min drive. Moran State Park 20min away. We loved our stay at the Dream Town Craftsman and would love to come back to Orcas Island again.

This was an amazing home to stay in during our stay in Eastsound. We were able to walk to the market and stroll downtown and the beach from the house. We were regretting not booking it for the last few days of our trip. The water view is a sliver through some trees, but it was still a view.

Lovely Comfortable Home

There were three of us staying for two nights. We did not spend very much time here and I wish we could have stayed longer. It is a lovely, thoughtful, clean and well equipped home. This home would be great for a family. There are lots of games, wonderful space allocations and very nice outside spaces as well. We wish the weather had been warmer for that! Good location and close to town. We would definitely recommend.

Very quiet in Winter

I enjoy the off-season in resort areas so enjoy coming to Orcas Island in February. This house is cozy and comfy, and I’ve rented it 4 of the last 5 years, which ought to say something! You can’t beat the location! Note to Sandi , the owner tho: you need to provide a snow shovel and bag of ice melter/rock salt.

Dreamy in every way

Such a beautiful house, inside and out, that is a very short walk (along a path) into town. The house itself was immaculate and such a good layout for our family. The main floor is a big open space with a large kitchen, dining area, and living room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a large bathroom. The basement had another bedroom, bathroom, and living room. My son, who is in college and living in a dorm, was thrilled to have a whole private door to himself. The house was well stocked: games, puzzles, books, movies, and a very well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. The house is in a small community of houses by the same builder -- all are lovely and they are positioned on the property so that you never feel you are looking into someone else's house. The one suggestion I would have is to have someone clean the pots and pans before the next guest. The people who used this equipment before us did not clean them well, and it was kind of gross. We would have probably cleaned everything we were planning to use beforehand anyway, but it wasn't pleasant to see food remains.

Convenient, comfortable, cute place in Eastsound

Stayed here over a weekend in September for a ladies' weekend while participating in a trail running event at Moran State Park. This was a comfortable and cute place and I wish we'd had more time just to hang out here! Check-in and check-out were both easy, the location was great, property was quiet and peaceful, and beds were comfortable. Would stay again for sure!

We loved how centrally located The Craftsman is to East Sound activities, beaches, restaurants, etc. Top priority for us as travelers to Orcas. We also love that four people can occupy with everyone being happy!
