Once a charming completely refurbished farm house, Buck Bay Farm now sadly needs fresh paint, carpeting, and new room furnishings. The owners no longer live on site and it shows. There is no attention to detail or pride in the overall presentation. On the plus side, the breakfasts were great, the staff friendly and the cookie jar always full but... more

Just had lunch at Olga's Cafe today and I must say that our experience was mixed. The food we had was very good; a chicken salad sandwich with pasta salad side and a soup salad combo. Both were prepared nicely with what seemed to be very fresh ingredients. The problem we had was with the service. It started from the... more

Anytime a waitress responds to a complaint by starting off with "90% of our customers like it" and ends with "the owner makes these all the time and everyone id fine with it" - you're in trouble. And uncomfortable. These comments were the response to the fact my wife said she wasn't pleased about the preparation of the 'scalibut' cakes.... more

I can confirm all the good reviews posted on Trip Advisor. Would definitely stay there again. more

This was the worst experience our family has ever had at a hotel. The owner frightened our children by yelling at them when they were peacfully playing on the beach and not doing anything wrong. He was rude and overbearing to all of us. Not a good place for families!!! The cabin was very dirty and buggy, the rooms are... more

Lady manager was nice upon arrival and accomodating. Nice location but stayed in upstairs rooms that was musty, dusty, with spider webs, and had mold on room window. Large commons area in upstairs and offered amenities such as coffee, tea, and free internet, but there was a musty smell in this room as well. Turned on fans and "fabreezed" everything.... more

This was our third stay here; our family loves Lieber Haven's peaceful, out -of-the-way location, laid-back character and marvelous stretch of beach and island views. I feel like I'm going back in time when we come here -- it's much as I remember places on the island being when I came here as a kid in the 1960s and '70s.... more

My sister was visiting us in Seattle and searched the web for someplace in the San Juan Islands. She stumbled on Buck Bay Farms, which turned out to be one of the most amazing places our two families have stayed. It's an old beautiful farmhouse set on a queit road on orcas Island. Not fancy but has everything you want,... more

if you are planning a visit to orcas island off the coast of washington state, definitely stay at buck bay inn and lavender farm. besides a fabulous hip host family and a couple of cool sheep and cats, the inn is perfect for traveling families with small kids! we stayed with our 20 month old and enjoyed fantastic breakfasts, a... more

It was a great way to see the works of local artists and have a great lunch. The food was very good but like everything else on the island, the service was a little slow. We learned early in our trip that the island is a lot like Mexico; very slow paced. The plus to all this is everything is... more

We are so glad we stayed here, this is a very special place, the beach cottage and the studio we rented, are perfect, charming, cozy and clean, infact we have been lucky enough to add a few more days to our stay. We all love Lieber Haven, our techie boys love the free hi speed wifi and kayaking the bay... more

We heard about Buck Bay Farm through friends who stayed there last year and had a wonderful experience. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our weekend escape! Angie, the proprietor, was a gracious hostess with a warm smile. Our room was lovely and the hot tub was quite relaxing nestled next to a lavendar farm from which... more

To say that my friend and I had a bad experience there, is a bit of an understatement. The inn keepers were rather aloof and made us feel as if we were intruding into their lives. On the second night we were there...the owners had a wild drinking...and who knows what...kind of party, and it was still going strong after... more

Although the person who ran this place was friendly, it was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in, especially for $145/night! There was no A/C, no fan, and no breeze (the air's stagnant in the hotel's location). The bed was soft and very uncomfortable, the room was very small and cramped, and the water pressure was weak. I slept... more

The people who run this place are really friendly people. It's a good thing because the property itself leaves a good bit to be desired. I think the best way to describe it is to say that it is VERY basic accomodations that could really benefit from a good cleaning and a great deal of upgrading. That being said, the... more

My family stayed here right before Christmas and had a lovely time. The minute I turned down the driveway I felt pulled into the charm of this place. We were welcomed by two sheep staring at us. The fruit orchard and lavender field flank the sheep's pasture, and a nice green lawn stretches down to a little pond in the... more

We booked at the last minute the first time, but have returned for 11 years now. Yes the cabins are simple, making no attempt to compete with the beauty of the view. There are very few other places on Orcas that share great kayaking, lots to do for the Kids, and are Right on the beach. When we tire of... more

There is a reason nature is considered a tonic- otters playing on the dock, the herons flying overhead, the seal popping up by the kayak, the view of the islands- all made for an exceptionally relaxing time. If you are looking for manmade entertainment, this place is probably not for you, but if you want to chill, Lieberhaven is great. more

A truely wonderfull place to relax and get away. The beach & the view & the boats... We booked for next summer. John. more
