In the scenic San Juan archipelago in Washington State’s Puget Sound, this historic waterfront resort on Orcas Island offers lovely accommodations in a complex spread over 8 acres of lush, evergreen covered hillside, all facing quiet Cascade Bay. A museum with both a Steinway piano and an Aeolian pipe organ bespeak the 1906 origins of the mansion around which the resort is built, it now houses dining rooms, pools, and a spa. Guestrooms are spacious , with balconies, fluffy bathrobes, and hill or water views. Take a kayak trip around quiet island coves, indulge in a massage and facial at the spa, or watch for whales from the prow of a boat. Dinind is superb, water sports are numerous, and if the serene island setting doesn’t calm you, yaga classes will.
