Have you been?

The John S. McMillin mausoleum is just a short drive from Lakedale by Roche Harbor and one of our favorite places to recommend to guests, especially history buffs.

Plus, it gets the spooky treatment every October!

Planning your off-season adventure to the islands? You are one smart cookie because it's one of our favorite times to explore.

What's your favorite thing about the off-season? Ours is the quiet 🙂

Sure, the San Juan Islands are a prime destination in the summer. But the offseason offers plenty of great reasons to visit as well.

Please join us in congratulating Ole and James, our summer fishing contest winners!

Ole caught a 2.9lb bass on the dock around the tent sites on July 6th. His first fish ever was a very small trout, and then this big bass!

The biggest bass, 5.15 lb, was caught by James on June 11 (he's the wedding guest who never stopped fishing). He caught it from a water trike.

Try your hand next summer and see if you can reel in the big one!

The rain may be becoming more frequent on the mainland, but on the island, we're protected by a rain shadow.

What's a rain shadow? We're so glad you asked!

Read all about it here: https://www.lakedale.com/blog/what-is-the-rain-shadow-and-why-is-it-a-good-thing/.

Despite the (rather ominous-sounding) name, a rain shadow means more sunny skies here in the San Juan Islands. Read on to learn more about this fascinating weather phenomenon!

When a couple truly utilizes the property—making their big day a whole summer camp vibe while honoring the family members who came before them—it is such a fun thing to witness.

Camp Morris, you were legendary! Big, big congrats and best wishes to J&B.

(Much more to come from this one 🥂)
