Great location and close proximity to Moran State Park. Beautiful house.
Great spot to catch up with an old friend. Clearly labeled, easy check in/check out process; minutes away from Eastsound; no neighbors so VERY quiet at night. Hot tub was perfection!

Great place on Orca Island!
The house is beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the surrounding nature. The location is perfect for exploring the island, and we loved the peaceful ambiance. The amenities were top-notch. I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing and picturesque getaway.
Situated a couple minutes' drive from Eastsound, the Wilker House was a perfect spot from which to check out the rest of the island. The hot tub and gas fireplace inside were particular highlights. Would stay again. Thanks yall!
Spent a long weekend exploring Orcas Island during the day and relaxing in the evenings. Between the stores on the island and the well-stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed to cook delicious meals. The house itself was beautiful and full of light. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely home
Beautiful, well appointed home. Perfect size for a family of 4. The property management company is not great to deal with unfortunately, but you don’t really have a choice up here.
My gal pals and I enjoyed every moment in this well-equipped home overlooking the waters of East Sound. Just a few minutes (by car) from the village of East Sound, the home was easy to find and filled with extras like a washer/dryer, hot tub, streaming services, deck with outdoor dining & grill, plenty of towels, all necessary cleaning supplies, and a bonus writer's retreat. We enjoyed being here so much that we canceled one of our dinner reservations and ate at home, overlooking the gorgeous sunset. We wish every vacation home was as welcoming!
We really enjoyed the location of this property- private, great view, easy access to Eastsound and the state park. Spending time out on the deck was a highlight. House was stocked with detergents, toiletries, etc.
The house could use a little TLC though (bathtub doesn’t drain well, dust bunnies flying everywhere when the fan was turned on, etc.). The bunk bed is super rickety, probably meant for kids but we had adults on it.
Overall a good stay for the price!
Stayed in late October 2024. Wonderful home away from home that has everything for a true relaxing retreat. It is secluded in the woods with a beautiful view of trees and the sound from up on the hillside. Very quiet and peaceful location. Just slight intermitent road noise from highway down over the hill that can only be heard from the deck. Bonus is the hot tub in the deck. We enjoyed sunset views from the hot tub every evening.
The living areas are comfortable, Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. Drip coffee maker, but no coffee grinder.
King bed is very comforrable.

Good, potential to be great
Location, stunning view, clean, amenities great, amazing property totally 5. Communication not great. Notified us right away of a hot tub leak that could have been dangerous and we are so very grateful. Leak fixed next day while we were out
and never communicated until a day later. Also, no instructions about how to use the fireplace. Need towel bars and robe hooks! Loved this property and would return but needs better communication and some easy additions to support guests.
Private lodging with a beautiful view, especially great for sunsets. We loved being able to cook at home and enjoy dinner on the deck. However, stove top skillets could use an update. We had an issue with there being no extra toilet paper stocked for 5 adults. But after notifying of our issue it was resolved in a few hours. There was also a slice of old pizza found in the oven when we went to preheat it and residue in the coffee pot. Otherwise the house was very clean, bedding was nice and comfortable. It was a great place for a family or close friends. We were close to town but felt removed from it for a nice weekend escape. The birdhouse off the deck was adorable to watch while we enjoyed coffee or drinks on the deck. We also saw a family of deer one morning. Overall, we loved our stay and the island.
Beautiful views in a relaxing homeSpent days sight-seeing, Orca whale watching, seafood eating, views at every corner. Ended in a comfortable quiet home away from home hot tubbing watching the sunsets. Perfect getaway
My fiancé and I had a wonderful time staying at the Wilker House and visiting Orcas Island! We loved the hot tub, the view, the fireplace, and how close the house was to Eastsound!
We loved it. The view and the hot tub were the highlights. It was hot when we were there, so better window treatments in the living room would have been nice. Otherwise no complaints!

Lovely
The house is beautiful with huge vaulted ceilings, modern style and excellent views. We also loved the hot tub!
We loved staying at this home right outside the town of Eastsound. The house was sparkling clean and aesthetically quite beautiful; the beds were comfortable, and the instructions and check-in were easy. The location was perfect for getting into Eastsound for restaurants and shops, as well as accessing all points of Orcas Island. Would definitely stay here again!
