Space

The rush of the mainland melts away here. Space to return back into yourself. Saturn’s Return is nestled in San Juan Island’s West Valley at the head of the Garrison Bay watershed, where forest, wetland, and pasture converge. Our stream is home to the island’s only native population of trout, just 10 feet from the Inn. Bald eagles, great horned owls, red foxes, fawns, and adorable little green frogs. These 42 acres are buzzing with life and all yours to explore.

Walk the meandering trails through forest and meadow. Gather eggs or join us for our morning harvest. Lend a hand in the flower garden or help us plant new fruit trees. Browse our food, agriculture, and philosophy library. Read by the babbling stream. Join a seasonal workshop (like spring foraging or autumn preservation). Catch a community dinner or guest chef residency.
