Help...am going to Orcas Island next week for two nights. Can anyone recommend lodging for a family of four on Orcas Island? Not too rustic but clean with budget of $250/night. Thanks!

We rented the Allen Cottage through Inn at Cayou Cove for our family of 4 (2 teens). It's closer to $300 per night, but we'll be there in a couple of weeks, so i can report back if it's not too late.
here's the website:

My husband's aunt was the innkeeper at the Kangaroo House for many years, it still gets rave reviews on Tripadvisor. You may want to check the out. Have fun! ***kim***

We stayed at Rosario years ago and liked it, but don't know if you could get reservations at this late a time.

Rosario years ago is a different kettle of fish than Rosario now, I'm afraid.

I don't know what the Rosario Resort was like many years ago. I only stayed there for two nights about couple of years ago and I thought it was beautiful--our room/suite was huge with the most gorgeous water view. We had a lounge and a very large, luxurious bathroom. The furnishings were elegant. I also enjoyed the hotel's hot tub (which was like a steamy medium-size indoor pool). They also had an small indoor lap pool and a small gym with very basic equipment but with the same beautiful water views. I fondly remember the restaurant and the great service we received (we went there for my 50th birthday); we brought our own wine and they didn't give us any problem or attitude--I can't even remember if we paid corkage. By my standards, the Rosario Resort was a luxurious, tasteful place. (Granted, I am used to simpler accommodations.) It also has lovely grounds and a good location. I think we paid only $125 per night (it was a special off-season deal). But a few weeks ago I got a posting from Travelzoo announcing a midweek special at Rosario Resort -- $99 per room. Probably too late for your plans, but Rosario Resort shouldn't just be scratched off everyone's list. Some folks would still be delighted by the place. Personally, I would love to go back--who knows, maybe for my 60th birthday!

For $99 a night, I'd sure go back--for the view alone!
