RESERVATIONS

Directions

  • To Anacortes Ferry Terminal

    From I-5, take exit 230 (San Juan Islands exit). Turn left onto highway 20 west and follow the signs until you come to the San Juan Islands ferry terminal (approx. 30 mins from exit 230).

  • On Orcas Island

    These directions are given in landmarks since maps of Orcas are frequently not good and since signs may or may not be where they should be when you come!


    You must take the ferry from Anacortes to Orcas Island. Ferry Schedule


    Travel LEFT off the ferry from the Orcas Landing. Following the stream of traffic, go 8.2 miles through an entirely rural area until you see the village of Eastsound on your right. Do not enter the village. Stay LEFT and go .25 miles to Enchanted Forest Road. If the sign is down, this will be your first paved left after you pass the entrance to the village. If you pass the power substation you have gone too far. If you end up at the laundromat or the airport you have gone too far. Turn around and go back to Enchanted Forest Road.


    After you have turned left onto Enchanted Forest you will go 2.4 miles to our entrance. Just keep coming straight. Do NOT turn on West Beach Road! You will pass a group of small houses before you arrive at our entrance. Turn right into the property, wind through the old orchard and on down to the water. The check-in office will be obvious.
