Trade Puget Sound tides for three freshwater lakes tucked deep inside an eighty-two-acre pine and Douglas fir forest.
Nestled in the forested interior of San Juan Island, this expansive lakeside retreat offers an earthy, Pacific Northwest woodland aesthetic. Couples exchange vows on grassy points jutting into calm freshwater lakes, surrounded by towering evergreens and gentle nature trails. Festivities continue with open-air receptions beside cozy log cabins or canvas glamping yurts, complete with sunset canoe paddles and evening campfires. The property's diverse lodging options keep entire wedding parties immersed together in quiet island tranquility.
