“Wow -- Would Go Back in a Heartbeat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed with Gail a couple nights earlier this month -- not nearly long enough unfortunately. This is one of the most wonderful B&B's we have ever stayed at. I don't know where to begin, actually.

The view is simply awesome. A 180-degree sweeping view of the San Juan Islands on one side, and the East Sound of Orcas Island on the other. All from 500 feet above the terrain/water -- just incredible. We had a beautiful king room with a picture window view as well, including a full bathroom, plus another vanity/sink outside of it also.

But beyond all of that is Gail, a very special person. After just two days, my wife felt connected to her just as she did to her own mother. Just a wonderful person, and a great cook too. Breakfast is not to be missed. Take a ferry at noon or later -- don't leave early! We had a southwest quiche, and a broiled-eggs-on-toast dish. And the pumpkin bread -- oh my! Yum-yum, good!

I just wish we didn't live so far away in St. Louis. I'm jealous of all you northwest residents. We'd go back in a heartbeat -- and hopefully will again.

Thanks for the outstanding hospitality, Gail!

You can stop researching where to stay on Orcas Island, folks. You just found it -- this is the place! (and don't worry about the steep gravel road up to it -- it's short and not a problem)

“The best B&B we've ever been to!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

We found the Double Mountain B&B on Orcas island, WA through the Chamber of Commerce for the San Juan Islands. It is situated up a rather rough road just outside of Eastsound. The house/home overlooks the entire sound and the tiny airport where little planes only fly out of. They are fun to watch especially since you really never hear them because they are below you. The bedrooms were very comfortable and very clean.The breakfast Gail prepares is to die for! The 'Dutch Babies' baked pancakes with homemade berry preserves, homemade applesauce, sausages and fruit were indescribably delicious! Oatmeal pancakes and a Mexican baked omelet graced the table over our next few days. We geared our last morning all around not missing breakfast before we had to leave. Sharing tables with the other guests was a great way to meet new friends and share their travel experiences. Gail also gave wonderful suggestions for places to see and things to do.

Room Tip: A great value so book early

“Great Views, Host, & Food!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

As all the people have said, this Inn has gorgeous 180-degree views, and you can see expansive views of the salt water surrounding Orcas Island. And...you are actually ABOVE the airport landing pattern so it is an additional treat to be able to see planes landing and taking off (Don't worry, it is far away you do NOT hear them!).

Gail is also a SUPERB cook, and everything she made for us was wonderful!!! We stayed in a room with a king bed and the room also had an amazing view of the local hills and salt water.

The road to the location is a little steep but smooth gravel. Just take your time and you will be fine. We highly recommend this wonderful inn!!

We enjoyed everything about Double Mountain! The 1st thing you notice is the how warm & friendly the owner is and the incredible views from the top of the hill! The breakfast are hearty and delicious! Orcas Island is a beautiful place with plenty of good food, water sports & handmade pottery.

“Best B & B In The San Juans Hand Down!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2009

person found this review helpful

My wife and I just love it here. We are from Kirkland, Washington and when we need to get away, we just love to come here. It's quite, and quaint, and very clean and the food is to die for!!!!!

I am not kidding when I say that its the best breakfast I have ever had in my life, please don't tell my mother that!!!!! She serves it hot from the stove, and its awesome.

We stay here allot but now we will try to come once every three months or so!!!!!

Great B & B! No, its not fancy, but it has a good "grandma's house" kind of feel. The owner makes you feel warm inside and she could cheer up anyone!!!!!

Also the view is the BEST VIEW on Orcas......
