Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Anderson Island

My sister and I had a very relaxing stay. The house was cozy and very clean with fabulous views. The lilac was in bloom so everything smelled wonderful, too. The handbook is a bit vague in places (no list of recyclable items and no instructions for the for the hot tub) but the hosts were very responsive to questions. A very peaceful escape.

We absolutely loved everything about Heathers AirBnb! Heather is a perfect host and responded quickly when our hot water tank burst and we needed a place to stay. She was very accommodating and made our stay comforting and pleasant. The home is brand new and super clean! It is adorably decorated, and felt like home. The beds were very comfortable which is important to us. We didn’t have much time to enjoy everything the home had to offer, but there was a pool table and large tv along with other water toys in the garage which acted as a bonus playroom. The kitchen had everything we needed for our long stay. The store is close and so are the lakes, yet it is located in a beautiful private wooded area. We would definitely recommend Heathers home to friends and family. This home is one of the best AirBnbs on the island!

The house is roomy and spacious. Lots of different places to gather and hang out. It's pretty remote, I would suggest bringing food on arrival as the closest store is 20 minute drive. You can't beat the views as it might be the most special part of the house. Perfect place to relax and recharge.

Relaxed and beautiful location for our family of 3 plus dog. The trek from the house to the beach was, fast and easy with the paddleboards - even the dog enjoyed being out on the water! Lots of room to hangout and have fun. The karaoke battle was pretty epic! Thanks Mike & Eva!

We booked the house for a quiet holiday getaway and were very pleased with the choice. Extremely peaceful and beautiful location, very well-stocked kitchen, descriptive instructions for how to use all of the amenities including the relaxing hot tub, and even some historical detail about the island made us feel right at home. Would absolutely recommend!

Our stay was really wonderful. The house was kid-friendly and even had toys for our grandkids to play with. The space was great and very clean. The master suite was very roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed walking around the island. We planned to use the beautiful fire pit but ran out of time. The only thing better would have been to stay longer on the island. It was our first time to Washington so we did a lot of sight seeing during the days. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We were extremely pleased with our stay. The house was quaint and so well decorated. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty of room to hang and store our clothes for the week. We had everything we needed and more. The house was spotless. Monica thought of everything for her guests. We will definitely stay at this house again on our next trip to Tacoma. I highly recommend Monica for the entire experience!

The Blue Canoe definitely met all my expectations and more! We loved sitting around the fire at night under the lights. The views for the lake were spectacular from both inside the house and on the front porch. We loved the sauna and having the cold plunge was a great addition. Can't recommend this place enough and look forward to coming back again in the summer with the kids!

Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

Friendly host and cozy unit in a great location. Thabks for everything!

Great place to stay! Would recommend!

We had a fantastic stay! The home had everything we needed: a full kitchen, clean bathroom, two comfy bedrooms, two cozy sitting rooms, and a washer/dryer—which was a huge help with our baby. It was fully stocked with fresh linens, towels, and blankets. The outdoor patio with a fire pit and stunning water views was a perfect place to relax. Jill and Gregg were wonderful hosts—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jill even greeted us with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine! The house is family-friendly and included a pack and play, which made traveling with our 4-month-old so much easier. If you’re visiting the Fox Island or Gig Harbor area, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again!

Felt right at home! We had everything we needed and host was very friendly and very quick a responding!

Thomas's location was perfect for our weekend trip. The apartment was not just what we needed; it felt like a home away from home. It was cozy, and we felt comfortable. Thomas was a great host. He communicated that the apartment was ready for us when we arrived and that we could check in earlier than the usual check-in time. We did not meet the first day we arrived, but he came down to introduce himself the next morning, and we had a friendly chat to discuss our plans for our visit to the area. This location is ideal for anyone who plans to visit the city to attend any events held at T-Mobile Park or Lumen Field, as the routes to the area are simple and easy to get to. Plus, it is a good location to get to downtown Seattle or Bellevue, with easy access to major roadways. I will consider Thomas's location again for future travels to Seattle.

The apartment was super clean, really comfy, and had everything we needed. It felt cozy and relaxing — like a little home away from home.

This was my second time at the Woodsy Retreat and it was wonderful, again. Enjoyed a hike through the State Forest, the hot tub, and all the goodies and snacks! Perfect place to relax and get away from it all!

My second time staying at this unique and stylish property- deer visited this time :).

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

What a beautiful location and immaculate in and out. Never had been to the area and we definitely will be back.

This lake was beautiful. I love that there are no electric/gas motors on the lake. The hot tub was spectacular, the fire pit was great, and the kayaks were in great shape. We took them for a trip around the lake. The water is clear and you can see the bottom almost everywhere. The beds upstairs are so soft and the couch was comfy. Overall a great experience. I felt safe there and it was cozy. 10/10 I would go again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable beach cabin! The place was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches that made it feel like a true getaway. We loved being just steps away from the beach. The cabin had everything we needed—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and a peaceful outdoor space that was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The host was kind, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, and scenic place to unwind, this beach cabin is a gem. Our dogs love it and we can’t wait to come back!

The view here is absolutely phenomenal! We anticipated it being beautiful; however, you can’t even imagine until you walk into the home. Every glance, you will be in complete awe. The hot tub on the deck is obviously a wonderful feature, but every person in the house seemed to equally like the shower. We left researching how to redo our shower at home, ha! We already ordered the same bathroom towels. Absolute heavenly linens in our opinion. The shore is a short walk from the house. My son loved walking down & was ecstatic when he found several whole seashells on the beach. A few things we did not utilize; however, took notice of: The fully stocked kitchen, the thought that the hosts put into making it a place for families to enjoy, IE: high chairs, mini blinds tied up high, toys, family friendly movies, ect. And several heaters & fans to accommodate various household temps. It was also very clean for being pet friendly which is hard to find. We would definitely stay again.

The most picturesque vintage cabin that felt like we were living in a '50s postcard. So close to the community beach, which was typically empty and we had it all to ourselves!
