About this property

Lakefront Getaway; Weekly Discounts Available

We have moved, because of our work schedules, to a 7 night Sunday-Sunday minimum stay during peak season (mid-June to mid-September).

Anderson Island is one of the best kept secrets in the Pacific Northwest, and especially unique because of its quiet atmosphere and tranquility even while enjoying remarkable proximity to Seattle, Tacoma, and even Portland. Typically one would have to travel a great distance to experience the serenity and seclusion of Island life, yet it is provided by a short 20 minute ferry ride from Steilacoom, which is just southwest of Tacoma.

The Lakefront Getaway is a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home with an additional open upstairs loft with a futon, comfortably sleeping 8 people. The main floor features an open-concept living room with fireplace, kitchen, and dining area...as well as two bedrooms and a full bath. Sliding glass doors in the living room and the master bedroom lead to the full-width deck. The lower level has a bedroom, large multi-purpose room with wood stove, full bath, and a bonus room. French doors lead to a patio followed by the walkway to the lake.
The property has 200 feet of frontage on Lake Josephine, the quiet lake where many types of watercraft including row boats, paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats, etc. are allowed...except gasoline powered. During the day we like playing in the lake and/or exploring the Island, then returning to build a campfire in the open fire pit, enjoying peaceful evenings roasting hot dogs and marshmallows sharing stories of the day's events, the wildlife observed, and planning tomorrow's activities.

We welcome your questions about the property or the Island, and appreciate your interest.

Always Wonderful
This was our third time staying at the O'Leary's house and we'll be back again I'm sure! It has everything we need for a relaxing week away. We love it every time, Thanks!

None better
This is one of my favorite places. All the toys for all age groups. Beautiful home with everything you can think of. It is where my now 10 year old learned to kayak. He talks about Anderson Island all year long and he has only ever been to this house. Not our first visit and not our last!

Island Stay
We all very much enjoyed our stay. The home is as advertised and was very well laid out for our use. We used the kayaks and our one fisherman caught a lot of fish! (Caught and released) We also appreciated the close proximity to the pickleball courts! We will be booking again. Thank you!

Amazing View!
The location and view can’t be beat!! We loved waking up to the lake view each morning! There was something for everyone to do in this lakefront home. The kayaks and pedal boats were so fun to have, there was no reason to leave! There were even toys for the younger kids in our group. Plenty of bedrooms and beds for our group of 8. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to make all of our meals at home. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had and they were so thoughtful to leave a welcome basket of goodies for us! We will be back!!

Family Lake Vacation on Anderson Island
We've been vacationing on Anderson Island in the summer for 20 years and have stayed in many different vacation homes. The O'Leary house was our favorite by far. We loved all the water toys and having views of the lake activities from the deck, so we could keep an eye on the kids. We also loved sitting around the fire pit in the evening. The hosts greeted us with a S'mores basket. There were plenty of blankets and sleeping/napping opportunities, from beds, couches, hammock and futons. Everything we needed in the kitchen was on hand. The hosts were very responsive to pre-check-in questions. We'll definitely be back.
