Castle in Vashon Island, Washington

Reaching and roaming this enchanted island is part of the adventure! Since Vashon Island is only accessible by ferry (or by broom, portkey, or private boat for the especially magical), most guests arrive via the Washington State Ferries. Once on the island, having a car is the best way to explore its winding forest roads, hidden beaches, and charming villages at your own pace. The castle is just a short drive from shops, trails, and local eateries, and there’s ample parking on-site for your carriage (or vehicle of choice). For a slower, storybook pace, bicycles are a delightful way to see the island just beware of the occasional mischievous hill!,Ferries to and from Seattle, Tacoma, and Southworth run daily, making day trips to the mainland both easy and scenic. Keep an eye on ferry schedules, especially in summer, when island wanderers abound. However you choose to travel, the journey to and around Vashon is all part of the spell.
