Anderson Island Escape

Newer construction style home, nestled in the woods of the island. Close to saltwater marina with dock for your boat and fresh water lake a block away from the front door for fishing.

This a 1,800 sq ft. family vacation home nestled in the woods, pine needles on the walkway and deer in the yard. Very nice and modern. We just added 2 full size arcade games in the game room. The Simpson which is 4 player and RidgeRacer which also includes 4 other driving games. It is professionally cleaned after each stay, but there may be some dust missed here, spare towel in the washer there, etc... If you want to be on an island in the Puget Sound, have room to stretch out and make smores & memories w/ the family at the backyard fire pit with the occasional deer, than our place is perfect.

Quaint general store, golf course, and restaurant on the shores of Lake Josephine, one of two fresh water lakes on the island.

There is also a historical farm house with gift shops and museum that you can tour. Great time to go is during the annual Apple squeeze where you can press your cider just like the did on the island over a 100 years ago.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

We had a wonderful time during our stay on the island! We went for Christmas and it was the best Christmas we'd had in years! The house we rented was exactly what it said it was, cozy and perfect for a family gathering. The property was clean and had a very efficient use of the space. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Area to Stay with Family

The house is definitely bigger than it looks in photos and that was a great plus. Unfortunately, there was mouse droppings noticed in quite a few places and we had to vacuum because there were a few fleas. Now, this is definitely the season of fleas, so that can happen anywhere, but it still ate up a little bit of time and our Autistic child struggled with thinking there were going to be more found. Overall, the house was nice though. Applicances were great, one of the arcade games (racing one) didn't work and that was our main reason for choosing this particular house. The owner was not in country at the time of our stay and that made it hard to get ahold of them with any concerns. We had learned that the owner had to confirm we were staying there, so that we could get fishing passes and though they said they would, the lady never received anything, so we were unable to fish in a couple of the lakes or off the dock on the bay. There was plenty of toys and entertainment items in the house for a range of kiddo ages though and that was appreciated. If we went back though, we would most likely choose a different home.

Perfect location

We had a group of 10 people, including children and adults. This was a great accomodation to fit us all. We added a tucked away futon to the twin bedroom and two kids slept on the L- shaped couch instead of the pull out sofa because it was quick and easy. Lots of linens and towels were available. Host brought us dish soap when we were running out. The arcade machines were a hit with the kids. The best part of the location is that it's a block or two away from Lake Josephine that doesn't have any motorized boats. If you have access to kayaks, definitely bring them! Our crew had fun swimming there as well. I will note that we had a little mouse situation on the last day, getting into our loaves of bread and a new bag of chips. We didn't have any issues the previous days and it's country living so it doesn't bother me, but just wanted to give a heads up to keep an eye on your food or keep it in a tub with a lid. The only other thing I'd wish for was enough plates and bowls for everyone, but we were able to make do. Overall, we are very grateful to be able to stay at this place and would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you to Chris for making this available!

Good but needs repairs.

Bathroom towel hooks need replacing; no towels were on them when we arrived and soon found out why when couldn’t use. The dishwasher settings wouldn’t work except for a 99min cycle on one rack or something. The video game pedal broken. Coffee pot leaks underneath. The place very old and outdated, but we saw that on pictures. Good luck.

Relaxing time on Anderson Island

We brought our teen grandkids for a short vacation...despite the fact we had some unusually cloudy weather, we had a lovely stay. The house has a few quirks, but overall was very comfortable and lots of room to spread out as well as to be together. We went to both lakes....they were wonderful and we are always surprised at how empty they are. Be sure to plan your trip back so that you are in line for the ferry...if you miss it during the week, you can wait quite awhile since the times are spread out more. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HOME!!

Property was as advertised. It's a little close to the resort areas for my personal preference, but others might like the location a lot. The house is larger than It seems from the description and would probably be adequate for a larger group. We may come back with kids.

Loved our stay, but property needs maintenance

This is a great house for families! We have five kids and were joined by their grandmother, eight of us all together- there was plenty of room for all of us! First- the highlights of the property: location, location, location! Close to the dock, close to a fun park, quiet spot in the woods. Great slide and swings for littles, and a fun fire pit! There were games, including an awesome wooden chess set that was a big hit with our family! Comfy couches for family time! And now the not so great things- this house needs some maintenance. It was dusty and quite dirty. There weren't sheets on all the beds. The towels were put away soaking wet in the closet. We spent the first day washing towels that had been put away wet. The dishes in the cupboards were also dirty and we had to wash every dish before using it. Lots of lights/lamps were burnt out. There wasn't much organization to anything. There was no dishsoap, we had to go buy some right away. The glass coffee pot was cracked and broken and the smaller coffee pot didn't work. The dishwasher was broken on the handle and the inside rack was in disrepair also. This is a great house and we truly enjoyed our stay, it's a bummer that it isn't better maintained! Would we choose to come back?! Yes. We would. But we now expect to roll up our sleeves and clean up before relaxing.

Deceptive description, rodent droppings, very dirty!

The description says “ newly built”. In actuality it is 16 years old! Not new at all! Besides the lack of cleanliness, the rodent droppings crossed a line!!! ESPECIALLY since it was mentioned one year ago, and obviously not resolved! ( We found mouse traps, so the owner was well aware of these problem!) The owner was sarcastic and unprofessional. He had the cleaning service come back out, but there was still trash under beds. This property should NOT be rented, especially to a family with a crawling baby! Besides everything else, the health issues are a real concern. We tried to move to another location, but being peak season at A.I. there were no other properties available. I do not recommend this property to anyone!

We had a family reunion so we had several homes rented on the island. Had a great time and plan on

Property was nice and comfortable. The children's room equipped with games was a plus, oh so was the swing set in the back. I left a note for the cleaning person with this information: The dryer and washer were full when we arrived - we did not use them. The dishwasher was also full with clean dishes, not sure where everything goes so I did not empty, we washed dishes by hand. Also, there were no garbage cans on the property. There was a blue bin but it was full of recyclables. left 2 bags in the kitchen. Also, my grandson tripped and hit the hallway table and a green seahorse fell and was it broke. The tag on the back said it was purchased at HomeGoods. I can either pay for it or purchase one and mail it to you.
