Historic seaside elegance defined by sunken floral gardens, cobblestone walkways, and protected marina waters along San Juan Island's northern tip.
Anchoring a protected harbor on the northern edge of San Juan Island, this storied maritime village blends rich coastal history with refined celebration spaces. Ceremonies flourish amid the terraced blooms of the formal Sunken Garden or inside the hilltop chapel overlooking the yacht-filled harbor. Receptions gather in historic venues where wraparound waterfront decks provide front-row seats to the resort's iconic dusk colors ceremony and harbor views. Guests stay in yellow-trimmed heritage cottages or modern harbor suites, enjoying a walkable, self-contained coastal destination.
