Our beautiful home on the South Puget Sound waterfront of Anderson Island is located in one of the most scenic areas you can imagine. This is a great place to relax and walk on the beach and enjoy the wildlife. We have herons, eagles, deer, seals, and many smaller creatures to keep you company. Eagle Island, a marine state park, is within rowing distance of the house and also adds to the already spectacular view from the front windows . You can bring your own kayaks or rent from Anderson Island kayaks. If you're feeling adventuresome, the island has several beautiful hikes and nature walks nearby. Tennis courts and a 9 hole public golf course are just a short drive away. The swimming hole on Lake Florence is a fun place to go for a refreshing swim during the summer months. On cooler days, build a fire at home in one of our wood stoves, and curl up with a hot cup of Anderson Island roasted coffee and watch the boats go by. If you're inclined to eat out, there are two casual restaurants/cafes. The Island General Store will meet all of your basic grocery needs. Whether you live in the Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia area and just need a weekend get away, or you're coming from out of state and could use a Puget Sound fix, this is just a short, 20 minute ferry ride from the mainland, and a good place to leave your stress behind. If you prefer to bring your stress with you, we have great phone reception.
