Description:
Turtleback Farm Inn is a country farmhouse located on Orcas Island, the loveliest of the San Juan Islands which dot the sparkling waters of Puget Sound. This graceful and comfortable inn offers seven bedrooms, each with a private bath and decorated with a blend of fine antiques and contemporary pieces. The inn is considered one of the most romantic places in the country. The addition of the very private Orchard House with four spacious bedrooms, each with full baths and private decks, adds another dimension to these fine accommodations.
The reputation of the Inn as the premier destination in the San Juan Islands has been firmly established. Chosen by the travel editor of the Los Angeles Times as one of the dozen most romantic spots in the United States, Turtleback Farm Inn offers a sanctuary for the discriminating. Bill and Susan Fletcher, the enthusiastic and accommodating innkeepers, await your arrival and will spare no effort to ensure your memorable vacation.
A graceful and comfortable Farmhouse and very private Orchard House, Turtleback Farm Inn is considered one of the most romantic places in the country. Highlighted by a spectacular setting, spotless maintenance and award-winning breakfasts, the Inn is a haven for those who enjoy breathtaking scenery, varied outdoor activities and a wide choice of fine restaurants.
Originally constructed in the late 1800s, the 100-year-old "folk national" style farmhouse was initially restored some years ago. The ongoing work preserves the integrity of the original farmhouse while incorporating conveniences necessary for today's travelers.
The living room boasts a Rumford fireplace, comfortable seating, and a corner game table. The large dining room has a convenient wet bar tucked into one corner. There are seven guest bedrooms each with its own private bath and furnished with a blend of fine antiques and contemporary pieces. South of the farmhouse in our orchard is the "Orchard House" offering four delightful king-bedded rooms in a style similar to the Inn.
Most Romantic Room:
Each of the four rooms in The Orchard House are our romantic places. Once checked-in, a guest does not need to see anyone unless they so choose. A full breakfast in a basket is delivered by way of a little door at the time the guest chooses. Each room has a refrigerator and coffee and tea service. These rooms have become very popular as a honeymoon and anniversary setting.
