As a guest at the
Gnome House or Maggie's Manor you will be able to enjoy our 110 acre
Wildlife Preserve and
Farm. Immediately adjacent to both cottages, this preserve is like having your own country estate just outside your door. Take your binoculars along when you hike through three thousand feet of tidal lagoon waterfront, where you'll see eagles, heron, otters, deer and other
Pacific Northwest wildlife. With miles of
trails for hiking,
or strolling, our personal
Wildlife Preserve is a naturalist's
and birdwatcher's paradise.

Maggie's Manor and the
Gnome House are located on the western side of Orcas
Island, in beautiful Deer Harbor, Washington.
Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juan Islands archipelago, is called
The Gem of the San Juans, and with good reason. From the moment your car pulls off the ferry and onto the winding country road,
Orcas Island evokes
wonderful feelings of contentment and amazement. Your travels take you through
rolling hills, forest, farms and lakes and over some of the most picturesque coastal roads in the country. Balmy summer weather, protected waterways, the beautiful trails of Moran State Park, excellent restaurants, and a talented community of artisans combine to make your vacation on
Orcas Island an unforgettable event. |
