Rosario Resort , Orcas Island

The old-world elegance of Rosario Resort is hard to beat . Tucked beside Cascade Bay , the elegant craftsman style mansion was finished in 1909 . It remains richly appointed with classic woodwork and a 1,972- pipe organ . Throughout the grounds you ’ ll find a variety of lodging accommodations , most of which offer stunning , waterfront views .
Dinner
The Mansion Restaurant
In keeping with the resort ’ s posh décor , The Mansion Restaurant ’ s elegant dining room is worthy of dressing up ( should you be so inclined ). But that doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t ‘ grab a slice .’ The woodfired oven makes some of the best sourdough crust pizza around , with unique combinations , like razor clams , kale and fried garlic on a lemon cream sauce .
Small Excursion
