Love this old grange and the history it has of our beloved island. The Harstine Community Hall is…read morereally the cornerstone of the island where there is very little retail. The Hall sports a Farmers' market on Saturdays from 10 - 12 with a nice assortment of pies and baked goods, jams, vegetables and arts and crafts ranging from elegant paintings to hand-crafted soap. There is also a local theater troop that does performance here although I have not had the good fortune of seeing one. We did rent this once for the wedding of a relative and it was perfect for a small, sweet, NW wedding.

Stunning Views and Perfect Retreat Setting…read more I recently stayed at Sacred Waters Retreat Center for a group weekend retreat, and the location is absolutely spectacular. The property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Hood Canal and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the main hall provided an excellent space for our group activities. The landscaping is beautifully maintained and really enhances the natural beauty of the property. For the price point, this place offers excellent value--you really can't beat the combination of affordability and those stunning water and mountain views. Special shoutout to Lois, the landscaper, who was absolutely wonderful and clearly takes great pride in maintaining the grounds! If you're looking for an affordable retreat space with spectacular scenery and solid facilities, Sacred Waters is a great choice. The natural beauty of the location is truly unforgettable.

I've been to dozens of retreat and conference centers over the years. This one is one of the…read morenicest! Beautiful setting, completely updated 1920s log lodge, great vibe/ambience, and supportive (not smothering) staff. Bonus: Chef Traecy (spelling?) and crew have done their best to serve fresh, local food that accommodates all dietary needs. How does it taste so good? There are foods I have not enjoyed before, but under his capable cooking, I loved them.

But what really makes this place special and different from other venues are the owners. John and Juanita are the absolute best! So accommodating, laid back, generous, fun, etc. I can't say enough about them and how easy they were to work with. Talk about low-stress planning. They made everything easy and fun for us. We all like them so much that we are trying to figure out what else we can book at their venue just to see them again! The upstairs area for getting ready is huge and great for on-site hair and makeup and pre-game photos. Lots of fun props up there. I feel like Capitol City Barn will quickly become the premier venue in Olympia with these wonderful people at the helm. You will NOT be disappointed!

The rose garden and decor are wonderful. The victorian saloon is gorgeous! It's worth it to go…read moresee it! The wine is just average - we did like the white reisling and the malbec, and the port was also good. We ordered the trail mix which is actually a small charcuterie plate. The crackers were stale. The music was KZOK radio (Seattle). Rock and roll did not fit the beautiful decor. So it's kind of a mixed bag. But go see the saloon and beautiful light fixtures.

Very good news!…read more This winery has been operating irregularly the last year or so. The owners, who are friends, have been dealing with some health issues. But as I said - good news! They are both past those health issues and now open week ends again. A side benefit (if you can call it that) to their being closed is that much of the wine laid down in barrels before their health issues hit has only become better. It is now being bottled. The Stagecoach blend is better than ever! The Cab is super smooth! Keep an eye on YELP and FB for news about their 19th anneversary party August 8th, by the way.

There was hot chocolate, coffee, and a huge bonfire to warm us up from the cold. Plus yummy treats to munch on. The Farm itself was gorgeous with a huge selection of trees.

I cannot express enough how wonderfully welcoming and helpful everyone was! I feel like we made new friends. We will definitely be coming back next year.

Had our wedding reception here 2 weeks ago after our ceremony at Manchester State Park. Overall I…read morewas very pleased with everything. This is a truly unique venue that used to be roller rink and it was perfect for our reception. My only issue came the day before the wedding when I found out that the round tables (I had been promised) had been rented out to another wedding happening the same day. We had already purchased round table cloths, and our seating chart was for round tables which seat a different number of people than the rectangular tables that were left for me. So my husband and I redid the entire searching chart the day before our wedding. Luckily I had awesome bridesmaids who came to my rescue and helped me sort it all out. The response from the pavilion was, "Well you have enough tables right?" Technically yes, but you caused quite a headache for us the day before our wedding.
