Known as the Gem of the San Juans, Rosario is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the iconic Rosario Mansion was built between 1906-1909 by Seattle Shipbuilder and Mayor Robert Moran. The Mansion is located on Orcas Island, the largest island in the San Juan Archipelago in northwestern Washington, and is a favorite of locals for its scenic beauty and mild weather. The property offers incredible vista views and shimmering blue water of the Cascade Bay and East Sound, complemented by the snow-capped Olympic Mountains. The Washington State Ferry serves four islands year-round, including Orcas Island.

As the torch of stewardship to this property passes from one to another, we must recognize the past 16 years of stewardship and operations by the Barto family, and express gratitude for the many wonderful accomplishments they completed to the property during their time of stewardship. The Barto family wishes to thank all of their Rosario guests and dedicated staff from over the years and the residents of Orcas Island for their patronage and support.
