Turtleback Mountain swells up on the western lobe of Orcas Island, considered the loveliest of the nearly 172 named islands in Washington state's San Juan archipelago. Orcas' interior is comprised of wide valleys bordered by deep forests and punctuated with shimmering ponds and lakes. Turtleback Farm Inn overlooks eighty acres of forest and farmland in the shadow of Turtleback Mountain. It commands a spectacular view of lush meadows, duck ponds, and outbuildings with Mt. Constitution providing the backdrop to the east. The setting is serene, complete with a fringe of fir trees framing the open fields which in the late spring produce bales of hay for the resident sheep. A pair of 300 year old maples and six fresh water ponds complete this bucolic scene.
