We stayed one night at Turtleback Farm Inn during "off-season" - so expected a little rain! We had a wonderful time, and would certainly return. The owners were incredibly helpful, and led us to the best restaurants (for us - they really listened) on Orca Island. The inn was beautifully maintained, and the breakfast was spectacular. Because of the weather... More

We have been going to Orcas for 20 years and this place is a gem. We spent the morning walking around the farm and then walked to the trailhead at the Turtleback Preserve. The hike to Raven's Ridge was spectacular. The owners were wonderful and had a plate of cookies waiting for us after a long but relaxing day. The... More

We found Turtleback Farm Inn in "A Thousand Places to See Before you Die." We use this book on all our trips and have never been disappointed until now. We are big fans of Trip Advisor and use this site as well and have had many a good experience. We are not that hard to please and often read some... More

I was very disheartened this morning to read of your disappointment with our Inn and especially me. I am very sorry you found me lacking. I certainly take the comfort of our guests as the most important part of what I do each day. I can assure you your sheets were fresh and wish you had mentioned both your unhappiness... More

We stayed in the Bosc room in the newer building for four nights. The room was just shy of being perfect. It was spacious, beautifully appointed (hard wood floors with an oriental rug), had a very comfortable bed, four windows, French doors to the deck, and a large and lovely bathroom. The view of their farm/meadow with the hills in... More

I found the location to be quite beautiful. the room was tired looking and the bed is not comfortable. the hostess is not very friendly, seems like she is just performing her routine. We did not feel welcomed. we had arranged for a breakfast to go since we had to leave before 8am, and that was disappointing. A paperbag, placed... More

I would give 4.5 stars, but that is not possible, so I gave a four, because I reserve 5 stars for properties that are truly, truly exceptional in every way. The room was immaculately clean. Simple but cozy and comfortable. It looks just like in the pictures on the website. Ok-- the sofa in the room could be upgraded, but... More

I'm in love with this place! The farm is beautiful, the animals are adorable/friendly, the rooms are so cozy you don't even want to leave (except for breakfast at 8 - you don't want to miss that! - so delicious), and Susan and Bill go above and beyond (seriously, I mentioned my canvas shoes were wet and they insisted on...

Our first trip was for our Honeymoon in 2001 and we just keep going back because it is so wonderful! The rooms are lovely, comfortable and the pastoral views are so relaxing. The country breakfast delivered to our room is always delicious, as well as romantic. The hosts are extremely knowledgable about the area and the local dining choices as... More

Didn't do an extensive review of Bed & Breakfasts on Orcas Island for this short overnight stay, but the Turtleback Farm Inn looked nice, had decent rates, and wasn't too far from the ferry landing (an advantage when you're going to arrive late in the evening). Booked the Maple room, which turned out to be a good choice: It's not... More
