Kangaroo House Bed & Breakfast

We have stayed in B&B's all over the world, and this place is as good as any. Just read the other reviews, which I concur with. Lots of space, fine hot tub, comfortable bed, etc. The best part was breakfast, which was very original and plentiful. This also included excellent conversations with other guests and our hosts. Breakfasts, in our case, lasted between 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

From the moment we stepped into this comfortable craftsman style home, we were relaxed and greated by the most charming and interesting hosts! Charles and Jill have lovingly applied their own touches through the food they serve and attention to details in the rooms and information about the island. We discovered similar interests that allowed us to visit a perma culture nursery on the island that we would not have known about otherwise. Their jacuzzi under the stars afforded us relaxation and the beds were perfect for a good night's sleep. With Jill's baking skills and Charles' culinary talents, breakfasts were an anticipated event. We never left hungry! Location is perfect if you're wanting to explore the whole island. We were in the Flicker Room. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We've been coming to Orcas Island since 2011 and until this year we stayed at the Outlook Inn. Well this year they more than doubled or tripled the rent pricing it out of our range. After some research looking for "plan B" we chose the Kangaroo House B&B. We were in the Chickadee room for $250 a night. We were concerned that it was one mile away from the center of town but it turned out to be no problem. Bicycling into town took minutes. Every morning Charles and Jill provided us with scrumptious breakfasts, much better than anything we could cook for ourselves! In the evening we would bring food from town to the outside patio and enjoy a quiet meal surrounded by melodious birds. The lobby had a refrigerator where we stored our drinks and we'd re-freeze our ice packs to keep our other drinks and snacks cold in our cooler in the room. Every morning there was coffee in the lobby and in the afternoon hot water for tea. I brought instant coffee with me for afternoon coffee. The queen bed was comfortable with lots of covers. The room had no TV but who cares? WiFi was adequate and occasionally kicked us off. The bathroom and shower were good. No complaints. We'll try the Goldfinch room next year. Charles and Jill were very hospitable and friendly, treating us like old friends. Terrific couple. This B&B is so comfortable that we will return there every summer. Charles and Jill, looking forward to seeing you in 2025.

Jill and Charles are so wonderful! They served an Organic, big breakfast each morning, they have the most beautiful area for the hot tub nestled in the woods. I slept wonderfully every night. I won’t stay anywhere else when I come back to visit the islands.

This historic inn is an oasis of peace and utter quiet, so welcome after the noise and commotion of big city life. The innkeepers, Charles and Jill, are warm, welcoming, and unobtrusively attentive. My stay over Christmas included a snowstorm and two island wide power outages. Charles and Jill met this crisis so resourcefully and were so attentive to my comfort. The power outage, in a way, was like a trip back in time, with the soft glow of candlelight illuminating the beautifully furnished antiques filled rooms. They spoiled me with creative, flavorful vegan breakfasts with a very welcome variety of fresh fruits. The view from the large windows in the breakfast room was an enchanting snowscape with birds coming to the feeders, including some hardy little hummingbirds. I enjoyed the conversations with my hosts when they joined me over coffee. My suite was spotless, and I enjoyed watching my favorite BBC series on the DVD player, tucked in my warm cosy bed. The extreme below freezing cold outside kept me indoors, where I enjoyed sipping tea and reading my book in the lovely drawing room. It was so peaceful and restful.

Already planning a return trip. A destination in itself. Northern Flicker Suite tastefully appointed with Craftsman Era decor. Comfy bed, sumptuous breakfast, lovely hosts. Conveniently located near Eastsound and North Beach. Short drive to Moran State Park and Turtle Mountain. Don't forget to make a ferry reservation!
