About Anne Stone
This property is owned by a longtime Bainbridge Island family that moved here from Seattle 50 plus years ago. It is our little piece of heaven that we have to share with you. It is managed by two sisters, one who lives in Oregon and one in Seattle who along with their brother look forward to their children enjoying this property with their children!
Anne Stone purchased this House in 1956
Why Anne Stone chose Bainbridge Island
Jake's Retreat was the original owner's little piece of heaven for over 55 years. It has been passed down to his kids who are keeping if for their children to enjoy. The original house was build in 1910 and has undergone three major additions/remodels that have tripled the size of the little cabin that Jake bought with his young bride in 1956.
What makes this House unique
The house is part of the Port Madison water company property that means it enjoys a private beach that runs the length of the neighborhood, a large forested green belt with trails behind the house, and a private dock with a boat launching ramp.

The views are unbeatable; the house is comfortable but a bit dated.
Glad you enjoyed the view as much as we do. Sorry you experienced allergy issues. Our cleaning staff carefully vacuum the whole house after each guest. It is a comfortable space for relaxing and enjoying friends and family. My tip to you and anyone in the future is to let your host know right away if something isn't working so they can remedy it! Happy Travels
Wonderful stay
We were happy to have you. The view is truly one of a kind and we are so happy to share it! Sorry about the media room door surprise, I thought we had put that in our listing but if not I will do that. Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful view, great house
Glad you had a good time!

Another Enjoyable Stay at Jake's Retreat
Hi Ladies!
So glad to have you back and so happy to hear it provides you the same solace we get from visiting.
Best,
Anne and Carol
Great Retreat
So glad you had a good time on the Island. We want folks to feel comfortable and enjoy this little piece of heaven as much as we do! We are a dog family and understand how much it means to people to be able to travel with Fido. Come see us again.
Fantastic
Location
Bainbridge Island is a wonderful getaway only 35 minutes by ferry but worlds away. The town of Winslow has lovely restaurants, shops, groceries, and all services in a small town feel. The Olympic Penninsula is only a 30 minute drive northwest of the Hood Canal bridge where you can enjoy hiking, cross country skiiing, sightseeing, ocean beaches, and golf. If you choose to stay close and tour the Island take advantage of its quaint Island ambiance. If you want big city excitement Seattle is a scenic 35 minute ferry ride away where you can take advantage of all a big pacific rim city has to offer and then come back to your quiet spot on the Island as the end of the day!
