Farm Stay

Staying at the Farm

Our farm is located on the western flank of the Turtleback Mountain Preserve and is surrounded by hundreds of acres of pristine forest, wetlands and rugged coastline. There are extensive trails and secluded roads for hiking, mountain biking, and riding, a large freshwater lake that is ideal for swimming, and many scenic spots for picnicking. The property boasts several lime quarries, historic lime kilns, and an original homestead built by Swedish settlers in the mid nineteenth century.

From our farm, guests may hike up to the summit of Turtlehead Mountain where there are spectacular views of the surrounding San Juan Islands, coastal mountain ranges and Canadian Gulf Islands or access the public trails on the Turtleback Mountain Preserve. Many guests enjoy hiking out to the salt water coastline where they can spot seal, porpoise and occasionally otters and Orca whales.

Farm guests may also choose to book a guided trail or wagon ride. The farm has a resident herd of 10 riding horses and 2 draft horses. Lunch and dinner rides can be arranged with advance notice. While we do not offer a structured Farm Stay program, we do welcome our guests to join us in our daily activities.

When guests feel like stepping away from the farm and its activities, they are encouraged to explore the property by foot, bike, or horse to seek peaceful remote places to enjoy some solitude, relax, swim, picnic, soak up the sun, nap, read, or simply do nothing at all.
