The Place at Cayou Cove

Deer Harbor, Washington.

Nestled on the shore of Deer Harbor between Cayou Valley's two mountain ridges at the southwest tip of Orcas Island, The Place At Cayou Cove takes full advantage of the southerly views across the Harbor to the Olympic Mountains in the distance.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Open the door to your own world in the privacy of one of our cottages. Located on nearly five acres of waterfront, each cottage is set apart and secluded by trees and shrubs. Each of these period structures has been totally refurbished and thoughtfully appointed to make your stay with us a magic experience.

Fresh flowers and champagne will welcome you. Your private hot tub will await you. The fireplace will be ready to light.

Apparently, Emily Boddington Cayou, an English woman for whom the main house was built, was an avid gardener. Her hand still is evident in the old Lilacs and Roses, the glorious Wisteria, the Horse Chestnut trees, the old pond with its Water Lilies and Weeping Willow. Stately Firs, Cedars and Junipers grace the property, and remnants of the old order remain.

Our kitchen garden is here for you. Totally organic, from seeds to soil, it offers a surprising selection of heirloom and familiar vegetables and fruits for your culinary pleasure. Only the freshest and finest ingredients are used. Only organic dairy products are served. Wherever possible, we choose selections from our organic kitchen garden or those locally grown.

We are happy to assist you whether it be for whale watching or kayaking, reservations at one of the fine local restaurants, or arrangements for a massage in the privacy of your cottage. We are here to make your stay as relaxing and carefree as possible.
