Blackberry Beach Cabins

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Orcas Island where I stayed at the Blackberry Beach Garden Cabin in Olga. The cabin was small but quaint and perfect for a quiet getaway. The experience exceeded my expectations. The bed was especially comfortable, and the entire cabin was clean and well stocked. Carol Jo provided many amenities. There were board games, books and magazines, a DVD player and a selection of movies, and a stereo with several CDs. When not out exploring the island there was plenty to do while relaxing in the cabin. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, cookware, and kitchen gadgets such as a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and coffee grinder. My cell service was very limited on the island, but the wifi at the cabin worked great and I was able to

This was our second time staying at Blackberry Beach. We honeymooned here two years ago and now we’re back for an anniversary weekend trip. We stayed in the waterfront cabin both times. We love it here! It’s so peaceful and cozy and has private beach access and a perfect view of the San Juans out the bedroom and living room windows. Even in the off season, it’s so lovely. Carol Jo is so sweet and a wonderful host! East Sound is about 20 minutes away with lots of cute shops and places to eat. Blackberry Beach is a beautiful, rustic getaway and a great place to relax and disconnect for awhile. We can’t wait til we can come back to stay here again!

My husband and I loved the garden cabin at Blackberry beach. It was private, quiet, conveniently located, and reasonably priced (for the San Juans). This is not a hotel, so it is not for everyone, but it was perfect for us. The entry area/breezway is a little messy, but the cabin itself is great. We found it clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated having a kitchen. We also ended up watching a couple of movies from their collection. Although the garden cabin does not have a waterview, it has a nice little patio which has a partial waterview and a pretty garden --- we ate all our meals out there. If we can afford to splurge next time, we would try to stay in the waterfront cabin, but we were on a tight budget this time. ||||Olga was a good location for us because we spent a lot of t

We absolutely loved the Garden Cottage at Blackberry Beach. Carol Jo was wonderful and helpful. There were many "extra touches" that we noticed & appreciated...things like fresh coffee beans with a coffee grinder, games & twinkly lights that made the place look magical. The cabin was very clean.||||Our favorite thing was walking out onto the long dock in the early mornings & evenings. It was a beautiful & peaceful place to watch the sunrise and the sunset!||||The location is lovely, private & quiet with a beautiful view of the water, and just a 5 minute drive to Moran State Park. We spent a day hiking there and then a beautiful sunset from Mt Constitution.||||Another day we enjoyed a morning ferry to Friday Harbor, went on a whale-watching boat ride, and were back on Orcas for a great dinn

The beach front cabin in this compound is the best option. It has a view of Shaw island and the inner-island waterway from every room and the hot tub. The hedge is overgrown, but that provides for a very private yard a view of lush blackberry bushes attended by hummingbirds and wren. The kitchen is well set up, and there is a small weber grill for full meal prep so you can stay in at night and not miss a beat of the nature scene. The beach access just off the tiny cabin yard gets you under the Olga pier- this area is a great treasure trove of shells, glass, pottery sherds, wood and wildlife watching: heron, eagle, kingfisher, gulls, geese, tern, deer all seen in just one hour. Within a 10 minute stroll is a quaint Catkins cafe and crafts gallery, and there are other artists galleries along
