Escape Between The Woods and the Waves on Whidbey Island

Nestled on the serene west side of Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington, Whidbey Highland Farm offers an idyllic escape on 9 acres of peaceful farmland tucked just inside the woods. Perched near West Beach, the property boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean (part of the Salish Sea), the tranquil Swantown Lake (a local bird sanctuary and kiteboarding hotspot), and the distant, misty outlines of the San Juan Islands on the horizon. This prime location captures the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest—crashing waves, wildlife-filled skies, and ever-changing sunsets—while providing easy access to Oak Harbor’s dining and amenities just minutes away.

Step into the heart of our 9-acre coastal sanctuary for an experience that is as educational as it is enchanting. Our farm tours offer a rare opportunity to trade the noise of the city for the gentle sounds of nature and the rhythmic salt air of Oak Harbor. Whether you are a curious traveler or a local nature lover, our guided journeys through the property provide a deep connection to the rural charm of Whidbey Island.

The star attraction of every tour is our resident herd of Scottish Highland cows. During your visit, you’ll also meet our charming Valais Blacknose sheep, often called the "cutest sheep in the world".

Step away from the noise and into a modern, comfortable retreat designed for those who crave a deep connection with nature without sacrificing luxury. Nestled just inside the woods on our 9-acre estate, the bungalow offers an intimate escape where the forest meets the sea. Wake up to the gentle melodies of birdsong and the soft reflections of Swantown Lake shimmering through your window.

Enjoy the outdoor kitchen with a BBQ grill and cook your gourmet meals under a canopy of stars.
