EXPLORE OUR NATURAL SURROUNDINGS

Enjoy a walking tour of Rosario’s beautiful grounds, originally designed by the nation’s premier landscape architects the Olmsted Brothers. Start at the Point Lawn (directly west of the Mansion) with its spectacular vistas of East Sound and Cascade Bay. Follow the path down towards the Mansion Pool and continue along the water on the path that leads you by the Roundhouse Suite, originally the Moran children’s “playhouse” (this is a guest room, so please pass quietly). Continue along the path towards the marina jetty for a bird’s eye view of boating and seaplane activity. Walk back towards the Cascade Bay Grill and stop by the General Store for an espresso drink, snack or souvenir. Walk by the marina and then along the walkway by the historic figure-eight shaped Canoe Pond and the “America” figurehead.  Robert Moran salvaged this figurehead after the ship went aground on San Juan Island.  She has stood watch over Cascade Bay since 1916. Look for seashells and driftwood along Cascade Bay beach before walking back to your room. The spacious grounds allow for plenty of room for sports games such as Frisbee, bocce ball, shuffleboard, and volleyball.  Game equipment is available from the Marina staff.  For the more adventurous types, take a hike to Cascade Lake in Moran State Park from the trailhead which begins in our hillside area just past the 1900 room numbers, across the road from the 2000 room numbers. A property map is available at our Front Desk, Marina Office and Cascade Bay Grill & Store.

Rosario has deer that graze on the property. They are friendly and frequently sighted just outside guest room balconies.  When walking near or approaching deer, please do so slowly and cautiously.  There are more bald eagles in the San Juan region than anywhere else in the United States, outside of Alaska. River otters live by the bay and are seen regularly frolicking on the docks, as well as small, reddish minks. Curious harbor seals live in the bay and will keep an eye on you as you keep an eye on them.  Our clear water along the shoreline makes for great undersea creature observations, including colorful seastars and sunstars.  For divers, a resident octopus has his home in front of the Moran Mansion, 50 feet below the water’s surface.

Rosario History

Stepping into the Moran Mansion at Rosario is stepping back in time. Built between 1906-1909 by Seattle shipbuilder and former Mayor Robert Moran, The Mansion features original photographs from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, original furnishings and fixtures, and an extensive display of the ships built by the Moran Brothers Company in Seattle. The Mansion is open to the public for self-guided tours from 8 am - 9 pm daily.

Originally from New York City, Robert Moran arrived on the Seattle waterfront in 1875 with a dime in his pocket. He became a ship’s engineer and was fortunate to work on several of John Muir’s Alaska expeditions. Eventually joined in Seattle by his brothers, Moran formed The Moran Bros. Company, a small family ship repair business that grew into a supplier for the Yukon Gold Rush, then a major West coast shipyard. The Moran Bros. Company quickly became Seattle’s largest employer when it won a naval contract to build the battleship U.S.S. Nebraska in 1902.

By 1904, the stress of business had taken a toll on Moran’s health and he was given only a few years to live. He purchased 7,000 acres on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands in Northern Puget Sound, an area originally used as transient hunting and fishing grounds for the Lummi Tribe of the Salish Nation. He began to build his retirement home with the same integrity as his ocean-going vessels: massive and solid, yet elegant and gracious. Free from the pressures of his business, Moran recovered and lived until 1943!

The design of the Moran Mansion was inspired not only by Moran’s nautical background but also by the popular Arts and Crafts movement of the time. The movement had emerged as a revolt to the industrial revolution from a humanist perspective. The shift of labor from man to machine had robbed craftsmen of the pleasure of seeing their work through from conception to completion, as the traditional values of quality and beauty were being replaced by economy and profit. Moran saw this transpiring every day at his shipyard. The Arts and Crafts movement offered a mindset being promoted in America by Gustav Stickley’s “The Craftsman” Magazine – a devotion to the honesty of craftsmanship, simplicity of design, and the joys of nature.

Moran’s dedication to the Arts and Crafts ideals is evident throughout Mansion with its rich mahogany paneling, earthen tone tiles, stain glass lighting, and unique fireplace hearths. The centerpiece of The Mansion is the Music Room, featuring a two story 1913 Aeolian pipe organ, 1900 Steinway grand piano, a Belgian stain-glass window picturing the harbor at Antwerp, and two mezzanine libraries overlooking a Tiffany chandelier, which depicts various performing arts.

Moran hired the leading landscape architectural firm of the day, Olmsted Brothers, to enhance the grounds with their trademark naturalistic landscapes, water features and paths – elements designed to encourage the exploration of nature.

In 1911, Moran offered Washington State thousands of acres to become one of Washington’s first State Parks. This donation was highly influenced by his early association with preservationist John Muir and by the conservation policies of President Roosevelt. Today, the resort property borders one of Washington’s premier state parks, Moran State Park.

In 1938, Moran sold Rosario to Donald Rheem for $50,000. Rheem was the founder of Rheem Manufacturing in the San Francisco Bay area, known today for their water heaters and heat pumps. Rosario was Rheem’s vacation home for 20 years, but his wife Alice ended up making it her permanent residence…literally. Stories from employees and guests of her ghost still haunting The Mansion make for a unique paranormal attraction.

Texan Ralph Curtain purchased Rosario from Rheem in 1958, but his dream of turning the estate into a resort quickly ended when his oil wells dried up. He sold Rosario in 1960 for $225,000 – half the original purchase price – to Gil Geiser of Seattle. Geiser sold a bowling alley and hardware store to open Rosario Resort on April 1, 1960.

Today, Rosario Resort & Spa is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

MORAN MANSION MUSEUM The Moran Mansion Museum is a tribute to the man who built and made The Mansion his home – shipbuilder and former Seattle mayor Robert Moran.  The Museum features original photographs taken from the early 1900’s, Arts and Crafts period furniture and furnishings, and an extensive display of the ships built by the Moran Bros. Company in Seattle. The Mansion Museum is open to the public for self-guided tours from 8 am - 9 pm daily.

MUSIC CONCERT AND ROSARIO HISTORY NARRATIVE
Christopher Peacock, musician, author, and Rosario historian, offers a presentation of music and photography that walks guests through the history of the Moran family and the Rosario estate. Highlights of the presentation include the historic Moran Photograph Collection, Phantom of the Opera music played on the Mansion’s 1913 Aeolian organ (featuring 1,972 pipes) with silent film, stories of the Mansion’s most colorful residents, and Christopher’s original piano compositions played on the 1900 Steinway Grand Piano.
Complimentary and open to the public. Saturdays at 4 pm.
