Tennessee Walking Horse Ranch

 on Orcas Island

in the San Juan Islands

In 1987 Allison and Kimberlyn, the Innkeepers daughters were on Orcas Island and discovered the farm. With Allison’s ambition to be a horse trainer and her families passion and love for the Tennessee Walking Horse, one might say,

"THEY BOUGHT THE FARM".            

 

                     

 

Farm History

 In 1987, Allison and Kimberlyn, your innkeepers' daughters, were on Orcas Island and discovered the farm. The original property was a working Dairy Farm. In keeping with the old buildings, the vision was to restore the old time feeling and become stewards of a beautiful piece of property at the base of Turtleback Mountain. Everyone that has watched this farm become what it is today will tell you that it has been a family project that has happened one post at a time. The Smart family members were city people with a country heart and Walking Horse Country Farm is truly an American dream come true !

 

 Allison was the trainer and manager of the Farm for 6 years while Doug and Jeri enjoyed developing the 25 acres into a Guest Ranch  including a  lodging ,   ponds, open space with fenced pastures, bridle trails, an indoor and out door arena and a barn full of history. The farm has developed into wonderful place to enjoy for every one that appreciates seeing a family horse farm. Residence and visitors of  the San Juan Islands are welcome  to this recreational host property. 

Doug loves bird watching, fishing, shot putting, and creating the beautiful bridle trails. Jeri's interests include collecting antique furniture, making antique reproduction porcelain dolls, photography, writing and story telling.

The Little House on the Farm became the interior design expression of Kimberlyn Smart Totten and Jeri Smart and has all the wonderful amenities of home. 

Seasons bring different moods, you will find just being on the farm makes

 you feel relaxed.

Antiques and collectibles greet you as you enter the Farm House. The living room, kitchen and dining room look out over white fenced pastures, woodlands and grazing horses.

You will feel relaxed in this spacious two bedroom country home. There are comfortable queen beds, and a quiet reading room.

The living room is complemented by a stone fireplace and the delightful kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a picnic or an elegant dinner. You will be pleased to find that the bathroom has laundry accommodations.

For those of you that love the ambiance of a farm setting and especially if you enjoy horses, Doug and Jeri Smart specialize in ground training and handling the wonderful Pleasure Tennessee Walking Horse.

Walking Horse Country Farm is a special and peaceful place to unwind. When you see an eagle fly over the farm or  deer grazing with the horses it just does something for you.

Your privacy will be respected as guests on the farm, however you are always welcome to visit with Jeri and Doug while they are doing their farm chores.

You might find Doug working on the property or having fun tending the  garden. Doug enjoys talking about almost everything, the horses, ponds, trails and the farm projects are just a few of his favorite subjects. Doug has quite a bird list and of course some 

fish stories.

Jeri loves almost everything, her favorite past is to share her love for horses, she likes to get behind the camera and create photographic memories,  and collecting almost any thing that has to do with the past.  Oh! Yes she loves garage sales and antiquing

Most of all Doug and Jeri enjoy sharing their farm and life-style with others.Step back in time and enjoy a stroll through the old  100 year old  horse barn,   where  you will discover the  antique sleighs, the families collections of what others called their junk and now Jeri calls treasures, you might find something that reminds you of your memories of the past.
