We live close by, but just needed a weekend away just to be with family without distractions. This place is awesome! Anderson Island is perfect. It was only a twenty minute drive to ferry, but being there on the island felt like a distant location. The cabin is super clean nicely updated. Wifi worked great, entertainment options were plentiful. The owners were amazingly accommodating. The neighbors were friendly. Nothing behind the cabin but woods, so very peaceful. For how big this place is and what they charge, I doubt they are making any money. Extremely great deal for what you get.

Our group had a great time. The house was great and very comfortable!

This was a very special spring get-away for the eight of us as we hadn’t seen one another in person for almost a year and a half! And to go to such a beautiful island environment where the foliage was verdant, the air so clean, and crossing the sound by ferry resulted in kind of a magical experience. The house is very comfortable with adequate seating and lighting for eight (sometimes hard to come by in vacation rentals.). The mission style dinning table expands for a crowd with adequate seating as well. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking, which we did for every meal during our stay. Nicole has provided just about everything you need for cooking and baking. The two bedrooms on the main floor have comfy queen beds, and share a BR with the rest of the house. The large master suite with king size bed is up a stair case and boasts a bathroom with two sinks, toilet and shower. There is a basement laundry room/rec room, with an adjoining room with fold out couch and TV. In the LR there is a gas fireplace for ambiance and heat. And, a beautiful, large deck rests off the living room and dining room. The weather forecast was iffy for our stay, but it turned into a couple showers, blue sky and sun with fluffy white clouds. So, we made good use of the deck, bbq-ing one dinner on the gas BBQ there that was easy to use. There are a lot of activities to take part in on the island: biking with little traffic (outside of the ferry landing), walks, hiking and beach combing. There is a lake for swimming and boating. Then the sound offers a chance for water sport for more experienced kayakers and canoeists. And, there is a kayak and canoe in the garage. What more could you want? Maybe a drink and appetizers at the lakeside restaurant, the Riviera, outside on the deck! We thoroughly enjoyed our sunny afternoon stop there. If you go on a Wednesday, you can join the BINGO crowd. I have to say that all eight of us talked about how much we enjoyed our stay and we want to return to this Anderson Island log home retreat. I feel we have just barely scratch the surface of things to do there. And, such a great place to just relax. . . .

Good

It was truly a Thanksgiving to be grateful for. Thank you for your beautiful space.

This cabin ("Kee-a-wali") is intelligently outfitted and tastefully decorated. Words like graceful and elegant come to mind. So many places are okay but not easy on the eyes. There were 5 of us, and we all appreciated the beauty the owners have created. It is not drab or dull at all, but neither is it ostentatious or glitzy. We had a better time because the appliances and furnishings were a cut above. They seem to have thought of everything. We could find anything we needed for cooking, etc. and it worked and worked well. Wonderful kitchen. The two main bedrooms are beautiful: the upstairs one has its own bathroom (the bathrooms are basic and functional), and the one on the main floor shares its bathroom with a kid's room with a bunk bed and the downstairs (entered via a door under the main staircase) room with a folding double bed. The downstairs also houses a pool table, etc. The living room, dining room and downstairs play room as well as the kitchen are all excellent. Anderson Island is a gem hidden in plain sight. It's like going to some sites in the San Juans with way less hassle. I’ve lived in Seattle most of my life and I’ve never been to Anderson. Now I realize that I’ve missed out on something good. It is so close to Seattle, and yet it's like stepping into a different time and space. We stayed in late October and were concerned about the weather. We got good weather, but we needn't have concerned ourselves in the first place. I could have been happy just sitting by the nice fireplace (which actually works to warm the whole house) reading and/or enjoying the very nice streaming and Blu-Ray entertainment system! The owners are wonderful and they've created Kee-a-wali with intelligence and grace. Kee-a-wali and Anderson Island combine to make a great getaway.

Such a lovely home to stay in -- beautifully designed and surrounded by Nature! The home is equipped with everything you could desire for a restful, fun, and relaxed vacation.

Clean home with everything you need and want. Kids played games while food was prepped in the equipped kitchen. Ample room for our 2 small families. Can easily relax on the deck or inside - it feels like home. Enjoyed the numerous island activities.

Six friends and I just completed a "guys weekend" retreat on Anderson Island. We spent the days golfing (both on the "mainland" and at the Anderson Island Country Club), and spent the afternoons and evenings playing yard games outside and board/card games inside. . . Yes, we're a competitive bunch. The house is charmingly rustic and had everything we required for a great time. The yard is amazing, with enough space for us to have Kubb (Google it), cornhole, AND disc golf catchers set up simultaneously. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban in place while we were there, so we were unable to take advantage of the gorgeous fire pit. But a great time was had by all and this will be my go-to spot when I want to relax on the Island!

We had an awesome getaway at this amazing cabin. It’s a short drive from the ferry, very private, large, and has everything you need. We loved it and plan to return if we get the chance.
