Cozy Up In A Converted Barn At This Peaceful Washington Farm

In this year of choosing local travel and quiet getaways over national trips and large gatherings, it’s easy to appreciate all the quiet, small towns and rural areas that make Washington so wonderful. Vashon Island has its own charms you won’t find anywhere else in the country, and it just so happens to have a perfectly peaceful farm that welcomes overnight guests. Check out the Wishing Rock Farm retreat.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Vashon Island is a tranquil gem in King County. It's easily accessible from Seattle and Tacoma, but you'll feel like you're in your own world when you're here.

This farm sits kitty-corner to Maury Marine Park, a popular place for hanging out and enjoying view of Mt. Rainier.
The Wishing Rock Farm owners are licensed egg handlers, and they raise quail here in the best possible conditions so they'll produce the best eggs.

They also happen to have a converted barn loft studio on the property, where they welcome overnight guests.
The interior has been fully transformed, although you can certainly tell it was once a barn. That simply adds to its charm.

The floor plan is open in the middle, with the designated rooms and spaces being fully visible.
Relax in the living room with a good book after a long day exploring the island.

The Wishing Rock Farm Retreat tends to book up months in advance, as it is both charming and affordable ($151 per night). When you’re ready, reserve your own special stay on Airbnb.
