As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Here in Washington, we’re lucky enough to have a small collection of small, peaceful, incredibly beautiful islands we can retreat to when we need a vacation (or in some cases, a quiet permanent home). But if you’re visiting Whidbey Island anytime soon, you can enjoy a true sanctuary. It’s called Earth Sanctuary, and it really lives up to its name.

Earth Sanctuary is a tranquil oasis you'll find at 2059 Newman Road in Langley.

Founded by Chuck Pettis, a longtime environmentalist, it's designed to be a place to enjoy nature without disrupting it.
The sanctuary has over two miles of nature trails, so you can get some exercise while you're there.
