When you're looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone, Orcas Island's Paris Cottage may be just what you envision.
This waterfront vacation rental home will delight your senses with its interior warmth and beautiful natural setting.
It features southwest views through a wall of windows in the living room and a private sand and gravel beach just across the street.
(If you bring a kayak, the beach is a great launching site.
)
The surrounding scenery is mesmerizing in all seasons.
No doubt you will spot the eagles that come to feed off of scraps provided by the neighboring shellfish farm (sometimes up to seven eagles!), or await the salmon that enter the creek running into the bay.
Canadian geese will entertain you as they flock in 2 1/2 acres of nearby farmland and fields.
But the bird life, sailboat and ferry traffic, vistas over Lopez Island and Cattle Point, sunsets reflecting off the Olympic Mountains are just the beginning of the pleasure you’ll find staying at Paris Cottage.
Inside, you’ll relish the special warmth of cozy spaces.
There is a queen bed, with a brand new mattress of the same type as used in the Belmont Hotel suites in New York City.
An architecturally designed custom headboard on the bed includes sliding windows at pillow height – adjustable on each side for fresh air while sleeping.
The dining room is like a greenhouse, surrounded by windows overlooking the countryside.
Through a narrow doorway you’ll find the bathroom offering a small shower and Italian sink.
There’s a flat screen HD/TV with satellite reception and a DVD.
The living room has comfortable down-filled armchairs with a spectacular view.
French doors lead outside where you’ll relax in a screened alcove shaded with parasols, or on a deck with a double chaise and privacy screen.
At day's end you can soak away the cares of elsewhere in the hot tub.
