Emily's Cottage at Cayou Channel - Orcas Island

Emily's Cottage at Cayou Channel - Orcas Island

10/10 Excellent
"A well-equipped property located right at the ferry terminal. Facility is very suitable for our 3-person stay, with everything we need. Rooms are clean and the bed linens are excellent. The wireless signal is very strong. Fridge, stove, oven, and microwave worked perfectly. We didn't use the washing machine but it is certainly very helpful for guests staying longer times. Given the property's closeness to the terminal and road, We were worried about the traffic noise but it turned out that the traffic was quite light during night,Communication with the property was very easy and prompt. Messages to the property were responded within minutes. We don't have much experience staying in an Airbnb type of facility. When getting the entry code, we thought that it was an electronic accessing code and that the door would open after the code was entered. Failing to open the door, we sent a text message and within minutes we got a call telling us where the key was. We like the feature of the messaging system that could also take and send pictures. If possible, we would recommend that a cloth closet (and/or more hangers) be provided. We only stayed two nights (reserved three but left earlier due to schedule change) so those hangers behind the bedroom door was enough but for long staying guests, a closet or standing hangers would be very helpful."
