Queen Anne Cottage — Attraction in Arcadia

"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.

Catch old episodes of MSR on youtube n see the inside of the Cottage and upstairs too.

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...
