Queen Anne Cottage

So gorgeous. You can truly appreciate the history. So happy people work so hard to restore these beautiful places.

The most amazing place. So in love with the arboretum. So much history :)

Take the interior tour for a trip back to the past. Highly recommended!

"Da plane, da plane!" Fantasy Island was filmed here. That phrase was yelled from its red and white gingerbread style tower. Murder She Wrote turned it into any number of exotic locations. See photos at kiosk out front of entrance. No, Queen Anne's Cottage is only open during special events and requires no photos taken inside n all wear protective booties. It is sorth the tour then. Catch old episodes of MSR on youtube n see the inside of the Cottage and upstairs too. Come early morning n follow the green painted path on the walkway, bring snacks, water, a bird book and binoculars n sit on porch of cottage to view herons, egrets, kingfisher, listen for the loud deep bullfrog along the lake. Look into the lit interior and gaze on a game of old time cards, chess and musical instruments. Then grab lunch at Peacock Cafe and return with coffee n a good book on front porch and catch hawks or yellow orioles flittering along the sage or palm tree tops. Enjoy!!!
