Family-friendly holiday rentals in Artondale

A beautiful space. The hummingbirds were flitting amongst the bushes, while the crows were rearing their young in the giant trees. The hot tub lies beneath the vaulted cathedral ceiling of ancient douglas fir trees. The soaking experience is the literal meaning of a forest bath. The cool clear water of the sound was a welcome repite from the heat of the tub. Sitting in front of a bonfire we watched a purple Mt Rainier fade with the sunset as the full strawberry moon rose over the hills sucking the tide out beyond the view of the waning firelight. The night time low tide and its crisp slipping sounds beckoned the inviting cool smooth sheets; an endless king size bed of relaxing contentment.

Very clean. Peaceful and relaxing. Good bed, slept well. Beautiful setting and view of the lake. Steve and his wife were very helpful, friendly, and responsive. Felt at home. Thank you both very much!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!! Everything was perfect. It was exactly the little getaway we were hoping for. You guys thought of everything and then some! Thank you, Shauni, Phil, and Muggins ❤️

Amazing stay! Property was cozy and romantic; perfect for celebrating our anniversary. Beautiful views of Hood Canal - a true gem!

This was a great place to stay at for a weekend! Beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub, grill, fire pit. Gorgeous views. Only thing I wish was more clear before was that there is no door to the master. The front door opens into the master bedroom and there are stairs that go down to the kitchen and living area that also gives access to the back porch and dock area. Overall great spot for a getaway! Will definitely come back.

Stunning! We saw bald eagles flying right in front of us and Orcas swimming in the channel- all from the seaside deck and hot tub! The indoor space is just as pristine, very clean and nice- but the highlight is the outdoor area for sure. Not to mention the location made it very easy to explore the island and more. We highly recommend Kevin’s place for anyone staying on Bainbridge. Better yet, cancel your Seattle plans and stay here instead. Thank you Kevin!

Staying here has become my annual pilgrimage. It’s perfect and magnificent. The cabin is so cozy, and walking along the bluffs and on the beach is breathtaking. Kayaking among seals and otters is so fun. The marine park is just a walk down the beach and always a gorgeous place to explore. Coming back to take a hot bath under the night sky and trees or make a fire in the fire pit is the best. And Lisa is so kind and helpful!

Fantastic spa retreat after long & busy days. Quiet morning coffee spot on the deck. Great neighborhood and location. Jeffery is a thoughtful host - one of the best!!!

Marcell is a great host, friendly and communicative. Very helpful with local suggestions and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if the listing is available the next time I’m in Seattle.

This house is really well equipped for kids of all ages. There was plenty of space for everyone to play and sleep. Great to be able to have a place to go with our dog too.

The place is in a nice and safe neighborhood. Inside the place it was vary vary clean! With being attached to a house it’s was pretty quiet during our stay. The beds were vary comfortable and the place felt cozy. There were lots of amenities that were nice as well. Definitely a good spot that’s close to the city!

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!

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

Linda is such a gracious hostess, and the cottage is so bright and homey. It was a delightful stay!

All in all, 5 stars! When Gregg realized I wasn’t going out for dinner & did not bring food with me he made a very kind gesture of bringing over pho cupnoodle. Bonus stars for the beautiful dog, and letting me cut my visit short due to a change of plans. Would recommend.

My friends, pup, and I had a birthday weekend at the cabin that exceeded what we'd hoped for it. The cabin has spaces to gather and spaces to retreat to, and many options for watching the cove and the Sound. Using the kayaks was a highlight, and the impeccably outfitted kitchen delighted us again and again. We all can't wait to come back soon 🚣‍♀️🌅

This home is located in one of the most beautiful locations -- gorgeous Harstine Island! The home is decked out (not to mention the wrap around deck is amazing!), spacious and as comfy as home in a fabulous beach community with trails for hiking through the old growth forest and beaches with firepits and excellent beachcombing. We absolutely give this property 5 stars and we'd give 6 if we could.

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Great place. The location was perfect for us. Extremely walkable. No issues at all. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing views and clean place. We enjoyed our stay here!!

The place was perfect for our vacation stay in Seattle! Excellent central location for walking to the most commonly visited tourist spots. We took full advantage of the courtyard and gym. My son said he slept "way better" on the pull-out sofa than he did in our earlier hotel stay. The place was clean and comfortable. Being met and provided instructions at check-in was helpful and checkout was a breeze.

Ian's place was great. We enjoyed spending our evenings with family after the days adventure. The pool house and outside patio are amazing we all really enjoyed it. The house has anything you need and communication with Ian was prompt and easy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

We had a wonderful time. Had such amazing views. We loved the outside area. The bed was soft just as we like! So many amazing things to explore on the island. We had a memorable stay!

Gayle was very quick to respond. Her condo is in a secure building. It was spotless. Great location - walkable to all attractions. She let us drop off our luggage prior to check in ( we were coming straight from Alaska Cruise). She called us as soon as the unit was clean and told us we could return. I would stay at Gayles Place again.
