    Susan and Bill are wonderful innkeepers. The breakfasts each morning were delicious. Bill spent time with a map showing me the points of interest around the island. Could not have had a better vacation. THANK YOU

    It really was nicer than I had even read about. It was all the details starting with the nice hosts. With all the nice places to stay on Orcas I will still pick Turtleback Farm Inn every time

    Lovely stay at unique B&B

    We recently spent two nights at the Turtleback Farm Inn on Orcas Island. Our room, in the main house, was attractive and well appointed. Breakfast was great. Upon our arrival, the innkeeper Susan, was very helpful suggesting things to do and also provided a list of restaurants, critiquing them based on recent guest feedback. Because we had to leave very early on our last morning, they brewed a pot of coffee for us and packed a breakfast "to go". The setting for the Inn is wonderful especially when we experienced the early morning layer of fog.
