Haunted Hotels in Eastsound, Washington

Rosario Resort

1400 Rosario Rd, Eastsound, WA 98245

Rosario Resort, specifically the Moran Mansion, is said to be haunted by the spirit of Alice Rheem, the wife of the mansion's second owner. Described as colorful and somewhat eccentric, her presence is primarily felt on the second floor, in the mansion's former living quarters (now a museum). Staff and visitors report experiencing mischievous but generally harmless phenomena: feeling phantom touches, seeing peripheral flashes as if someone passed by, faucets turning on and off by themselves, and laundry being disturbed. Local lore adds more details, recounting stories of hearing phantom footsteps in high heels and visions of a 'figure in red' wandering the mansion. Alice Rheem was remembered as a larger-than-life personality on the island, known for driving her car around, engaging in local life with activities like poker, and sometimes being associated with island scandals.
