This is truly the best way to camp! This was our first time "glamping" and I have to say, I may…read morenever do it any other way again. The Leanto staff was extraordinary. Scott was there to greet us, helped us set up, even assisted with needs we had after getting there such as firewood, etc and was beyond helpful. The glamping site itself was super clean, well prepped with everything we needed, comfortable, yet did not take away at all from the true camping experience one bit. My dad is an avid camper and we grew up camping in a similar fashion and our set up was close to this, only we had plush beds, a dresser, local artwork in our tents, and the convenience of not having to bring much gear. We glamped in site 6 which included 2 tents and was able to sleep four. They do an amazing job and for the $, you get a lot. They provide all the things you'd get in a hotel room (maybe more) except in a wilderness setting. But here's something I loved... they also do frequent routine checks on your site to ensure you're comfortable, have any questions or need anything. You can simply communicate via your mailbox and they will not bother you otherwise. It's the cutest thing ever. This was my daughters first time camping (ages 3 and 5) and we wanted to ease them into camping, and I have a feeling, we'll never do it any other way. My only hope is that Leanto continues to a) expand so that we can continue going to new places b) one day allow dogs. While I gave Leanto 5 stars because this was the most perfect camping trip ever, my husband probably would have minused half a star for us having to leave our furbaby at home.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE. 5/5! Ever since we got in we felt very welcome. Scott (person who…read morechecked us in) was absolutely great. He gave us a tour of our site and told us all about the area. His recommendations were 10/10. The glamp site (we had site 6) had two tents. One with a queen bed and the other with two twins. Both tents had enough bedding. The bed was very comfy and warm :) the tents also had side tables, coffee, side tables, cabinets, flashlight etc. Gamp site had everything you could need. All you have to do is show up :) the campsite is also 5/5. Clean bathrooms and showers and lots of drinking water around. The whole thing costed us $250 for 4 people. There were raccoons but other than that it was amazing. Highly highly recommend

Booking was a breeze, advanced communication was timely and informative, check-in was friendly and easy, and even the drive across the island from Friday Harbor was engaged and informative. But the real magic happened on the water, where we started under mild, overcast skies, and ended with sunshine and perfect weather. Along the way we saw: 1 black fox, 2 harbor seals, 1 harbor porpoise, a rhinoceros auklet (unique diving sea bird), 13+ Bald Eagles, AND TWO HUMPBACK WHALES! The beach side lunch was fantastic... the best turkey sandwich I've ever had, made exceptional by the views and the company. The lack of an Orca sighting made this full day trip an eyelash shy of perfect, but we could not have otherwise been more thrilled with our experience on the water with Brandon and the Discovery Sea Kayak team. Thank you for a magical day on the island. PS - we paid half as much for a full day tour with Discovery as we did for a half day tour on Orcas Island, so this group gets our strongest recommendation!

We unfortunately saw no whales during our first outing (so many cute seals and eagles though!), but they were able to squeeze us in the next day for another chance at no additional cost. And on that second trip we were blessed to see multiple orca pods socializing together! They had a mic that they inserted into the water, and we got to listen to them socialize. I wasn't aware they had this and it was such a magical experience to hear them! Huge thanks to Ivan and the rest of the crew for this once in a lifetime experience, it was a dream come true!

The time availability, Golden Hour Tour discount, and Anacortes departure allowed us to narrow our decision. We were very pleased with our three our tour. However, it did not seem like it would work well for beginners as basic skills were needed to paddle and navigate. I never quite got comfortable with the peddles for turning and would have had them a little lower as my feet slipped off a couple times. I could not bend my knees enough to reconnect the peddles for turning on my own. Our guide assisted me which held up the tour though. We were in a tandem which worked well for us as my husband was recovering from surgery. We were covered with a skirt to keep us dry for the most part. Some water did leech in to wet our bathing suit bottoms so we were glad we brought a dry change of clothes at the end. We saw eagles, seals, jumping fish, and other birds. Whales do not come in this close to the main land so we had no expectation. The water was like glass in parts, slightly turbulent in others, and the island shores simply serene. If you stuck close to the guide, he was very knowledgeable.

Kenny, "The owner" response to Maggie G's review is false. She went in and saw a bike for sale…read morethat she was potentially interested in purchasing and sat on it only to get talked down to and yelled at. Nothing was broken, no bike was rolled away with, Kenny just needs to take a class or read a book or two on customer service. Shortly before she came in I was in the store looking to rent a bike. I came in with the intention of renting at 2:30 on a Tuesday and returning 10:00 am on Thursday around 44 hours. So I asked if he could give me a potential discount and he basically laughed in my face and said no, we only do calendar day rentals. So $72 a day, which is ridiculous because the other local bike store rentals for $45 a day for a similar bike. For 3 days, there is a 3 day discount of $24 off equalling $192, still ridiculous for 44 hours. They did have ten or so identical bikes outside so Kenny must be a trust fund baby or something just leaving business out there. Neither of us got a welcoming experience or any type of feeling of hospitality or simply want to have us in the store. I recommend Lopez kayaks and bicycle works just down the road, completely different experience. The only reason we didn't is they weren't open for the season yet. Id rather walk the island than rent from Village Cycles.
