Beauty, charm, comfort and historical tradition. A welcoming refuge from the cares of the city – a comfortable place for entertaining, unwinding, or simply relaxing. The home is sited on the upper level of the 1.62-acre site to take advantage of the land’s natural terracing features, providing maximum southwest sun exposure and enhancing the views of outer Quartermaster Harbor to Tacoma.
And while you and your family will cherish the open space and privacy of a secluded country setting, you're just minutes from dining, shopping, and recreational opportunities. This unique four bedroom/two bath home offers over 3500 sf of living space.
An optional 720 sf guest apartment (full kitchen and bath) above the two-car garage is also available if needed for larger groups. (sleeps up to 4 people). A 1620 sf wrap-around deck (790 sq covered). Plenty of room for entertaining inside and out. There is lots of parking and would be great for corporate retreats and weddings.

Why the Owner Chose Vashon Island
I am the owner/builder for Bayview Retreat. It was completed in May 2000. Bayview Retreat is located on the sunny southwest side of the Burton Peninsula, a very desirable and sought after location on Vashon Island. Besides the great Quartmaster Harbor views - there's a tremendous amount of wildlife. It's located within blocks of a general store, coffee stand, post office, restaurant, art gallery, a 75 acre woodland park, miles of walkable beaches and a bus line to Seattle and Tacoma.
The Unique Benefits at this Lodge
The property is 1.62 acres and very private. There are great sunsets and you can sit on the deck and watch a the boats coming and going out of the harbor.
Great location: This beautiful log home sits on a peninsula known as the Burton Loop. At Jensen Point, you will find a public boat launch, picnic area, kayak rentals, and a rowing club facility. Feel like a hike? There is Burton Acres Park with its' 67 acres woods and trails. The main corner of Burton is located about .5 miles away, a casual 10 minute walk. Here you will find a country store, post office, church, fire station, art gallery restaurant, bed & breakfast lodgings, and various businesses. Burton is rather centrally located on our island with easy access to the Tacoma or Seattle ferries.
