Betty's Blue - A Room with a View

Hi! I'm Cathy MacNeal and I have owned and run Lavender Hill Farm for 15 years. We have over 800 lavender plants and 20 varieties on 3/4 acre on Vashon Island. My career has been as an actor on TV, films and stage (you can IMDB me - Catherine MacNeal); my love of lavender led me here. Born in New York City, I have lived in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Berkeley and now the Pacific Northwest. Parent to 4 grown( ish) kids including two lawyers, a teacher and a college student. I was cofounder and board member of Cambodia Tomorrow, which provided education and basic needs to orphanage children there; I have worked as a celebrity personal assistant and administrative partner and producer. How did I end up on a farm in Puget Sound? Many wonder. My love of lavender and France and the fabulous view and farmhouse, the arts community here and proximity to an airport al played a big part. Last year I made this my full-time home and built Betty's Blue as a place to stay when the farmhouse is rented and as a rental when I'm in the farmhouse.

Vashon and Lavender Hill Farm are special places - garden, water, view of Mount Rainier. Enough space to have privacy and a quick walk to find community - Burton Coffee, Harbor Mercantile (the general store), the Burton Inn (spa services), a beach to stroll on, woods to hike through, kayak and SUP rentals, boat mooring within walking distance. Eagles, herons, pileated woodpeckers. Cool neighbors, lots of music, performing arts, great food.
