About

The property is home to a collection of statues that include hundreds of trolls, as well as elves, witches, wizards, giants, dragons and other mythological creatures. They dot the grounds of rental properties across Troll Haven. One such property, the Gatekeeper’s Castle, is fitted with its own dungeon. 

Apples, Pears, Figs, Cherries, and other fruit orchards are grown on the property and can be sampled by visitors. The trolls are all located on private property so patrons must admire the creations from the road. Although many of the homes at Troll Haven are rental properties, other buildings/areas serve as event sites for weddings, parties, reunions, or business retreats.

The 200-acre property borders the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the northeast corner of Olympic Peninsula, just off Highway 101. It is about four miles south of Diamond Point, the northwest point of Discovery Bay. Just a few miles north of the small town of Gardiner.
