What a relaxing way to soak up some sun and enjoy a truly beautiful place, Beach is made up of smooth rocks vs sand...great for skipping on the waters surface. Water looked clean and inviting. A couple of neat photo ops here. No pets allowed.

My hubby and I loved this place so much we didn’t want to leave. The smell was incredible! Lavender everywhere! I have submitted many photos. There was everything you could imagine that was possible to contain lavender in inside the shop- candles, dried lavender, lotions, oils, cookies, marshmallows, beverages, chocolates, sandwiches, candies, potpourri, etc... outside the tireless were gorgeous and in full bloom! The way they were planted were so pretty to look at. I didn’t care for the lavender food items, but my husband liked them. The service was okay, but everything else stacked up to make this a ‘5’ trip!

There is so much to see in this museum, collected by those who lived here for so many years. Take your time looking through this small building with so many amazing things to see.
4. Island Lavender Farm Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 76 reviews
The Island Lavender Company is located in the heart of Washington Island at the Historic Island Dairy, where acres and acres of lavender fields are farmed and hand-made lavender products are produced. The Island Lavender Company carefully harvests each bundle of lavender during the "Blooming Season" from July though mid-August. Each bundle is gently dried in our aged wooden lavender drying barns to protect the vibrant colors and aromatic scent of the fresh cut lavender. After drying, the buds are removed from the stems in our exclusive "Lavender Spooler" and rigorously cleaned in our custom "Lavender Bud Centrifuge". After extensive cleaning, the lavender buds are inspected assuring the highest quality. At the end of the summer growing season each plant is carefully harvested and trimmed by hand for our specially designed "Lavender Steam Vapor Boiler", to separate the aromatic lavender oil through a copper condensation cooling tower that stands almost 8ft. tall, producing our lavender essential oils and lavender infused waters. The Lavender Buds and Lavender Essential Oils are prepared for culinary, personal care and home good products. Even the dried lavender stems are available and wonderful to use in BBQ and wood fires, filling the air with the intrigue of aromatic lavender. Fair Trade Prices and Quality Farm Local Products.

5. Mountain Park Lookout Tower

Well constructed flights of stairs take you to the top of the bluff. Another set of well constructed flight of stairs take you to the top of this tower. For the amount of steps, it's a relatively easy climb--we witnessed small children, elderly folk, those with hip and knee ailments ascend to the very top. Beautiful view. We were surprised by the lack of signage or warnings, so please exercise common sense in this little piece of the forest.
