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.
Our trip was to visit our son in the area. He along with his girlfriend and teen-aged son met us at the beach house for the weekend. Gary and Lynn provided excellent information about the area before our trip along with suggestions while we were in the area. The home is amazing in its design and location. It was fully stocked with food and wine with only the request to replenish what was used. Relaxing in the sauna after a dip in the waters of Puget Sound, an island art show, and sight seeing around the island kept us busy. The Lakeside Restaurant, coffee shop and general store provided meals and any incidentals we needed. The weather was very accommodating with enough sunshine to see Mt. Rainier in its entirety from the island on several occasions. We have discussed a similar trip in the future. Hope Madrone Beach House will be available if and when that happens.
We had a wonderful stay at Madrona Beach House. The home was spacious, but very homey and warm. The view was absolutely amazing and the beach was perfect for walking and exploring. I would whole-heartedly recommend this rental for a great escape.
