The second floor features a 1,972-pipe organ that was the largest ever built in a private home. Moran liked to play the organ every morning at 7 a.m. to wake up his household for the day. Unfortunately, Moran couldn t play a note. To learn more about the mansion, take one of the history tours that are offered. The resort offers 127 spacious and deluxe guest rooms, either in the building adjacent to the mansion or in units high on the hillside facing the water.
Many people arrive by boat or seaplane at the resort s marina.
The resort s spa offers facials, massages and yoga classes, but Moran didn t need yoga to relax. Just walking along the paths near the mansion and staring at the turquoise water and trees is more than enough to do the trick. Elegant meals are served in the Orcas Room, which features an accompanying pianist Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Dining is also available in the Compass Room or in the Morgan Lounge. More casual options include a deli near the marina.
