Betty MacDonald lived on this six acre farm on Vashon Island, WA while writing her books.

The library has historical memorabilia  about Betty’s life.  Today the Farm is owned by Judith Lawrence and is available for overnight accommodations. There is a Cedar Loft with panoramic views of Mount Rainier and the Puget Sound, and a Cottage with sweeping views as well.

The six acres provide opportunities for bird-watching, strolling the grounds, watching sunrise over Mount Rainier and more.
