Other Things to Note The house is older and has some quirks, like sloped floors in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom. These are minor and won’t detract from your visit, but wanted to make you aware. Our home can accommodate 9 guests, however if booking for 7+ adults, you will need to also book The Little Stuga in order to accommodate (guest house). Our home is best suited for no more than 7 adults and 2 children. Pets - We may allow pets on a case by case basis, please message us to see if we can accommodate. If an unauthorized event occurs, a $500 fee will be charged. No parties or events are allowed. The propane fireplaces are not operational. Parking is located in front of the house and is uncovered, we can accommodate 3-4 vehicles and ask that everyone park alongside the rock wall to avoid blocking the road. We use a self check in door code so no need to use keys. Mooring is available during the summer months on the public dock in Olga. We are located steps from the dock. Stuga is Swedish for cottage and refers to the many summer cabins that dot Sweden's coastlines, forests and islands and serve as a holiday escape, often hosting their families for celebrations throughout the year. The word Stuga also conjures up lots of evocative feelings for Swedes. These are typically places of peace, comfort, and mysig-ness or coziness, much closer to nature than the city. We hope our Stuga provides the comfort and peacefulness you seek on Orcas Island and in our small hamlet of Olga. Due to the time needed to adequately clean the property, we are not able to offer early check-in or late check-out. Please book an extra night if you would like to guarantee an early check- in or a late check- out. Ask about our guest house (Little Stuga) if you have over 7 adults. Permit # 2005CU020yt

The interior of the house was as described and the beds were comfortable. We were not notified until the welcome email with our access code to the house on 9/20 (our check in was 9/23) that "cell service can be a bit spotty and that Verizon and Sprint will have limited cell service". We could not make a call from the house with our cell phones (not even through the WiFi). As long as the WiFi was working, you could text. The lack of cell service should be noted on the main description of the rental. We had a medical emergency and it was very difficult communicating with family members.
We were also notified on 9/20 that the hosts had just been notified by the power company that the power would be off for two nights of our stay. While we were on the island, I found out that the power outage was planned for the entire island and they had been notifying everyone starting in mid-August. If I had been informed of the planned power outage, we wouldn't have stayed on Orcas Island for our vacation. I am still working with VRBO and the hosts for at least half of my payment to be refunded as we should have been informed of the power outage and/or the house shouldn't have been available to rent during the power outage. Again, during the power outage there was no way to communicate as the WiFi was down as well then.
The house does not have Cable/Satellite TV, but you can login to Hulu or other streaming services if you have an account.

Excellent views of the sound, right up the road from the Olga docks so very convenient for us. House even had all the crab cooking needs!! Yum!
Updated bathrooms made a big difference, but the towels are very small and we wished we had more.
Overall the house was lovely for my family and we enjoyed our stay! Thanks Erin for hosting :-)
