Retreat...
A
place affording peace, quiet, and privacy.
We
like to say if you're going to take a vacation you should relax,
sleep late, and eat well. Touring and other recreational activities
can wait until after you're rested and refreshed.
Our
waterfront vacation home on the pristine shores of Scow Bay on the
west side of Marrowstone Island near Port Townsend, Washington,
allows all this and more.
You'll
find serenity in the spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains
and uninhabited Indian Island across the bay. Take a morning swim
or a romantic sunset canoe cruise around the protected waters. Walk
the quiet beach and enjoy the clean, fresh air. Experience majestic
vistas and discover abundant wildlife.
Marrowstone
Island is rich in natural beauty, rural solitude, and pastoral ambience.
The main town of Nordland lies in the center of this sleepy island
where you'll find the Nordland General Store. Wander through this
nostalgic store as you enjoy your morning latte and discover everything
it has to offer, including some surprises like vintage toys. Canoe
and Kayak rentals are also available.
There
is plenty to do on Marrowstone Island... crabbing, clamming, fishing,
hiking, kite flying, and just plain relaxing. Nearby Port Townsend
offers fine dining, cultural events, and unique shopping experiences.

When
you're ready to begin exploring the area, the Olympic Peninsula
has many attractions to choose from, including:
- Fort
Flagler State Park is just minutes away on Marrowstone and has
miles of trails and beaches for talking
long walks. The views of the Olympic Mountains, Mount Rainier,
Mount Baker, Port Townsend, and the shipping lane traffic are
gorgeous beyond words.
- Port
Townsend has various festivals almost every weekend and in the
summer the Farmer's Market offers fresh fruits, vegetables, and
seafood from local farmers and fishermen. There are several local
wineries and breweries, fabulous restaurants, and unique shops.
- Fort
Worden State Park is the home of Centrum Foundation, a center
of arts and creative education. Tour the light house, visit the
Marine Science Center, explore the miles of trails in the woods,
fields, and on the beaches, play in the bunkers, and relax on
the beach.
And
there's much more. We offer a few suggestions of our favorite places
on the Recreation page of our website.
Come....
enjoy
the peaceful sounds of nature as you relax in the magical feeling
of Marrowstone Island.
