Otter's Pond Bed and Breakfast

Loved our stay at Otters Pond B&B! My daughter and I came to Orcas Island for a quick 3-day respite from "the big city" hustle and bustle, and we were not disappointed. Otters Pond B&B is lovely--wonderfully appointed, cozy, warm and inviting. Owner Chef Amanda is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and has many professional accolades, including a James Beard award. We enjoyed two excellent breakfasts prepared by her during our stay. My daughter is vegan, and Chef Amanda prepared her breakfasts accordingly. The scenery on which the B&B sits is gorgeous--beautiful Otters Pond which is replete with many species of bird (Mallard ducks, Loons, Junkos, and many others) and squirrels; unfortunately, the time of year we visited did not afford any otter sightings :( The rooms are cozy and quiet, and we were awakened each morning to the lovely smells of breakfast cooking. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful location, on the south shore of Otter's Pond, about a five-minute drive from Eastsound and a three-minute drive to Moran State Park. The facility is newish, well maintained, comfortable. Our room on the ground floor was small but lovely, the double bed adequate. Bath was a claw foot tub with a functional shower that looked European in design. The hostess, Amanda, was welcoming, helpful, and a talented chef, who prepared delicious breakfasts. We especially appreciated her ability to identify the numerous birds that flocked to the feeders on the back deck. I hope we can return again

We stayed at Otters Pond B&B in July for a wedding that was on the island. We absolutely loved staying here. The room was so comfortable and the entire B&B was beautiful, especially the view from the back porch. I have Celiac and I told Amanda it was alright if she couldn't accommodate me, and she said it wouldn't be a problem. The food was all safe and tasted great. We wish we could have stayed longer at Otters Pond, but hopefully we'll be back again!

Nicest place to stay on the island. Rooms were immaculate and attention was paid to every last detail. House is gorgeous and outside grounds were magnificent. The breakfast was so delicious. Can not say enough good things and I am very picky.

We'd originally booked our room for a family gathering the summer of 2020, then Covid hit and all plans had to be postponed. We were FINALLY able to take advantage of that original booking (albeit without family en tow!) this past week and were so pleased and delighted with everything about the place. We owned a vacation home on Orcas for many decades and know the island well, so it's always nice to discover a new corner, a new view, a new setting in which to enjoy this magical place. Otter's Pond didn't disappoint. Amanda, the proprietor, was warm and welcoming (and a fabulous chef!), the room was cozy and delightfully appointed; the deck was large and set in a most bucolic, peaceful surrounds. Gazing out at the lily-pad covered pond and watching the very active bird life in and around kept us occupied for longer than we'd have expected... it was just so engaging! Both breakfasts we were served were SUPERB and beautifully plated, our every need was anticipated and met, and we left feeling so glad to have had a new and wonderful experience on our beloved island. Thank you, Amanda, for an exceptional stay! Lorraine & Pete Wilke

Amanda treated us so well at her B&B. The room was exquisite and so nicely furnished. The common areas were comfy and breakfast was gourmet class, cooked by Amanda. And the pond/terrace area was so relaxing and beautiful, with birds and wildlife to watch. Couldn't be happier.
