We’re glad to hear that this stay worked so well for a family reunion. The private lodge is designed specifically for groups who want space to gather, relax, and enjoy time together, and the indoor pool is often a favorite feature, especially during winter stays.
We take pride in keeping the home well stocked and prepared so groups can settle in comfortably from the moment they arrive. Thank you for choosing Scimitar Ridge Ranch, and we look forward to hosting future family gatherings, reunions, and group retreats at the lodge.
Spectacular property that is very conveniently located!
We loved our family time at Scimitar Ridge Ranch! Plenty of room to spread out for privacy as well as great spaces to congregate. We were charmed by the resident sheep and alpaca, and never tired of the gorgeous views. The location is both perfectly secluded and ideal for exploring the area. The Ranch was very clean, well stocked and comfortable, and the team was very responsive to our needs and questions. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful retreat!

We're especially pleased that you appreciated the balance of seclusion and accessibility. That harmony between privacy and proximity to local adventures is something we take great pride in. Our team works hard to keep the Lodge clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, so knowing that it contributed to your stay means a lot to us.

Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion and breathtaking natural beauty, all just minutes from the charming coastal town of Anacortes. Surrounded by forested trails, open fields, and views stretching toward the San Juan Islands, the property provides a truly serene retreat setting. What we enjoy most is the quiet—broken only by birdsong or the breeze through the trees—and the ability to host gatherings without the distractions of city life. It’s a place where people can slow down, connect deeply, and return home refreshed.
What makes this property unique
Scimitar Ridge Ranch is truly one of a kind. Set on a private hilltop above Anacortes, our 50-acre retreat features a 22,000 sq ft luxury lodge, private walking trails, expansive views of the San Juan Islands, and purpose-built spaces designed for large groups—from families and churches to corporate teams. Guests love the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, game rooms, and fully equipped commercial-style kitchen. Whether you’re gathering around long banquet tables, relaxing by the fireplace, or spotting deer in the morning mist, the Ranch offers a rare blend of beauty, comfort, and intentional design that’s hard to find anywhere else.
