Open May to September 30th

TAKE A FERRY TO THE COUNTRY

AS OF 2013, WE ARE CLOSED

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE SERVING YOU FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS
as a Hostel, Campground and Private Room Rentals

We still offer lodging at the LAVENDER DUCK and our new lodging in Dockton under vrbo.com (Vacation Rental by Owner #388767)

We will make some decisions in May as to what we will do with the hostel property. We hope to offer lodging in the log cabin under the vrbo site, but we must bring the building up to king county codes. We are working diligently to comply and hope to have it up and running by May. Check back with us.

This unique lodging is located 25 minutes from Seattle and Tacoma. The hostel is located on Vashon island in Puget Sound in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The hostel offers a unique Western setting with Indian teepees, covered wagons,  and plenty of space for camping.  Camping is very affordable and we offer a discounted rate for AAA members. The beautiful 10 acre ranch boarders a 100 acre reserve and offers a relaxing retreat minutes from Seattle.

Weddings;
We have two wedding facilities, the AYH Ranch or Marine View Estates. The ranch offers a more casual western setting and the other a beautiful waterfront location next to Dockton Park. We also have the Lavender Duck Inn for private rooms for special guests.

Due to the economic situation, we have lowered our prices at the AYH Ranch Hostel, Marine View Estate, and Lavender Duck Inn for your wedding or private rooms. Also we have dropped the International Organization of Hostelling International and are winging it as an
Independent Hostel
