Though my stay at the cottage was brief, it was a great experience, located in a quiet residential district of DuPont. Kathy was friendly and a wonderful host, staying up late to receive me, and easy to communicate with. The room, upstairs in her home, is cozy and delightful, with a most comfortable bed, and a bowl of treats on the bedside. The bathroom was just around the corner and was clean and well-equipped. I would definitely return to the cottage, using it as base to explore the area. I wish i had more time to do so!

As always, Kathy and Dennis were very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. Their quaint, comfortable home was the icing on the cake to the peaceful gem that DuPont is amid the hubbub of the metro Seattle area. I can't recommend their place enough!

This was a beautiful home in a really nice neighborhood. Kathy and her husband were gracious hosts--very calm, interesting and sociable. The room and bathroom, along with the rest of the house, were immaculate with plenty of room to unpack if you are considering an extended stay. Plenty of parking. Easy access to I-5. Ridiculously abundant outdoor leisure activities close by. I was in town to visit Madigan Army Hospital; the ride to post was simple and was 10-15 minutes door to door. I would gladly stay again and wish I could have stayed longer!

I had a wonderful experience staying with Kathy Dennis. They did every thing possible to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. They welcomed me into their lovely home.

Oh my gosh, I couldn't have asked for better hosts in Kathy and Dennis. They both welcomed me in with a warm reception and Kathy showed me around the house, showed me my room that I'll be stating in, which is exactly like the photo and description, we then sat down and talked quite extensively and particularly about both our worldly travels. It was quite nice and I had the best time staying in a very beautiful home. They live in a very nice neighborhood in the beautiful town of DuPont. I had small candies in a small dish waiting for me in my room and had water bottles available to me when needed. Such a nice stay. I would HIGHLY recommend their home for a stay for you.

A great stay! Nice home and so comfortable. Our hosts were very enjoyable to talk to and it was fun exchanging info about the home-stay lifestyle while traveling. Thanks !!

Kathys place was exactly as described! My husband stayed here since he had a crazy work schedule and it was in the perfect location near JBLM. He mentioned that Kathy was super kind and that her place was cozy and comfortable! I really appreciated her going above and beyond by working with an early check in time and also being so responsive. Thank you so much. I'm sure my husband would definitely book again and again!

Kathy has a beautiful home on a quaint park in a quiet and secluded DuPont neighborhood. We were very well taken care of and very much enjoyed the conversations we had with our hosts. Great proximity to Joint Base Lewis McCord, if you are visiting friends and family on the base. A lovely "escape from it all" sort of place in a town with a lot of history.

Great stay! Shawna is super nice. The location is perfect for a quick drive to JBLM to get to PT in the morning. Her dogs are adorable.

This was my second time back, and just like before, I couldn't have asked for a more smooth, hospitable, and comfortable stay in Shawna's beautiful home!

Shawna's place was in a very quiet upscale neighborhood located just minutes away from JBLM. She made sure I felt welcome and even included many amenities a hotel would plus water bottles and snacks. Her dogs will warm up to you the longer you stay and are fun to play with when you are missing your furry friends back home.

Everything was good. Thanks.

Highly recommend Shawna as a host. The house had everything I needed and I was able to socialize or stay private as much as I wanted. Wonderful location and everything is close. Would stay again.

Shawna was a wonderful host. She was responsive and had prepared the room with personal touches- snacks, toiletries, and local maps. I highly recommend Shawna's DuPont cottage.

Beautiful home, extremely friendly host and puppies. The room has everything you need and is very well-maintained. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in the area.

This location is near JBLM. Host has three dogs. I didn't stay long and went to bed right away and woke up super early at 5:30am and left to go to a triathlon event. Bed is smaller full size bed with metal frame. I am 6'2" and bed was bit short for me.

Very beautiful views around the treehouse. Beautiful bridge leading to the partly secluded treehouse. Quite and cozy. Worth every penny:)

This stay exceeded all expectations we had. A perfect getaway for when you want the feeling of being in the woods, but also close to town for good eats. The treehouse was cozy and had all the details to make it unique and comfortable. Will definitely stay again!

Magical. Awesome location perfectly fit for two adults. Didn't use the camp fire area, but the hosts were extremely accommodating in providing wood and fire starter. Amazing spot. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

This tree house was even better than we expected. Cozy, welcoming, and warm, we felt right at home. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the views were great. We'll be back when we can.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The treehouse is lovely and has all the perfect little touches to make the stay so peaceful. everything was clean and cozy! We'll be back!

I was hoping for a quiet weekend as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday, and that's exactly what we found! The tree house was so charming and well stocked with anything we could have needed. There was much to roam around and explore in the area. Our host thought of everything from a lantern and cart at the parking space (we checked in after dark) to cozy socks and slippers. This weekend was everything I had hoped for and more! The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace heater added a cozy touch. Would definitely recommend to family and friends looking for a unique stay in Washington.

The place was lovely! I can't recommend staying here enough!

Michelle was a great host! We stayed there for a Mother's Day getaway, and it was perfect. Very peaceful and relaxing! Will definitely recommend to my friends and family. I will stay here again for sure! :)

Fun spot and thanks for the suggested activities.

Jesse went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay, even leaving me some allergy meds just in case I had some kind of a reaction to dog dander (I didn't, it was that clean). Loved the house and the neighborhood. Great area to walk and the marina nearby was wonderful for views and beachcombing. Would come back!

Jesse was incredibly helpful-very communicative and thoughtful about what we might need/want, and the space was great! The big room was a great space for just hanging out, playing games, and relaxing. And it was so quiet! Wonderful to get away from the noise of the city, and although it was raining, the island was beautiful from what we drove around. We walked to the lake during a break in the rain and it was so peaceful!

Loved our stay on Anderson Island! Jesse's place is perfect for a low key getaway, stocked with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Also, Jesse was super organized about providing all the info we needed in advance, and when I had issues figuring out the firebox, he responded right away to help me get it sorted.

Jesse's cabin is a sweet getaway close to Seattle but a world away. My partner and I loved that the cabin was situated in the woods, a short walk away from Lake Josephine, super cozy, & heated primarily by a wood stove. His cabin has tons of fun things to use: 2 bikes to explore the beautiful, uncrowded country roads, badminton, a nice outdoor grill, a canoe to haul a short ways to the lake, and a 10-15 minute walk away to a great beach with a view of Mt. Rainier. We wish we had more time to explore the island--there's so much beauty and peace to enjoy! Jesse himself was a very responsive and gracious host, you can really tell how much he loves this place but then again, it's easy to love.

Jesse was a great host. We had an issue with the internet and Jesse went out of his way to help resolve the problem. The lake was easy to get to and take the canoe out. Anderson Island is quiet and peaceful and Jesse's house has a great location between the lake and Puget Sound. Thanks Jesse!

Jesse was very communicative and provided alot of suggestions for what to do and where to go during our stay. The cabin was really neat! Great lake access with canoe/life jackets. Beach and parks were really nice. A super get away overall. Badminton was fun and we used the bikes as well. Everything was clean and neat too. We fit 2 adults and 2 kids with room to spare. We are very happy with our stay and would definitely visit again.

We loved, loved, loved Jesse's place. Set in a forest of trees, a block from the lake, quiet, peaceful - we couldn't have asked for a better getaway. It truly feels like staying at a friend's house, Jesse has thought of everything --- great music to play on a turntable, bikes to tool around in, lawn chairs for the fire pit,and a spiffy red canoe. The vibe is relaxed and mellow - a perfect getaway. We can't say enough about this very cool rental.

Clean, very comfortable, fantastic hosts!

We had a great experience with our stay here, it was much better then we expected. The location was great, its only a couple minutes away from the freeway. The place was much bigger and roomier then expected. What really made our stay amazing was the hosts, Teresa and Russ were by far the best hosts that we've had on Air bnb thus far! They went above and beyond what a host needs to do to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.

This is a beautiful guest home with the most comfortable bedding, and linens! Lots of windows so the place is bright and cheerful. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and breakfast items. Coffee and creamer too!! A perfect place. Im hoping to travel back to the area in June and I'm hoping Teresa and Russ's place is available! Don't forget to enjoy a cup of tea on the front porch!

Teresa and Russ are great hosts. They provided thoughtful touches like flowers on the table and some basic food items it the fridge and pantry. The cottage is just as advertised. The beds are comfortable and clean. The location is lush with beautiful flowers and less than a five minute drive from a national wildlife refuge. Restaurants and shopping are less than 10 minutes away and downtown Olympia with the Hands On Children's Museum, the Capitol campus, and Olympia Farmer's Market are all less than 20 minutes away. Overall, it's just a great place to unwind while still being close to everything.

Wonderful place, breakfast foods in fridge and pantry when arrived, very accommodating hosts, beds were super comfortable, and location was beautiful!

Well-appointed very comfortable space with great peaceful views of the forest and golf course on a beautiful island. Our family of five had a truly enjoyable stay here hiking through the old growth forest to the beach, touring the island and playing games in the comfortable home. Thanks Lauren, for the great stay!

We had a great experience. The place is in excellent condition and was very clean and comfortable. Lauren was accommodating and easy to work with. She even left some fresh chocolate chip cookies which were a welcome treat after a long day of travel. Would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Anderson Island!

This airbnb stay was one of the highlights of our vacation, and our only regret was that we hadn't booked two nights instead of one! My teenaged kids and I loved having plenty of room to spread out, and the lovely wooded setting was a treat after many hours in the car. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very clean. Since the ferries don't run late into the evening, you'll want to make sure you've planned your arrival with plenty of time for traffic. If your ideal evening is a quiet, comfortable night in with the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of a frog or two, you can't beat this!

Lauren and Dennis were amazing! My family and I felt very welcomed and had a great time.

Absolutely amazing home and Lauren was just the best host. Our family loved our stay on Anderson Island thanks to her hospitality and beautiful home. It was truly a comfortable stay for all of our family members. Our children loved the kids area and grassy area while my wife and I loved the peaceful environment of Anderson Island. If you are looking for a place to just get away from it all and be comfortable while you do it, I highly recommend coming here!

My girl friends and I LOVED LOVED Lauren place, such a beautiful, very clean, very private , love this little island. Lauren and her husband so welcoming and friendly, they replied right the way to any message, very flexible. Thank you Lauren. I can't wait to visit again soon :)

I am completely smitten by Lauren and her applause-worthy rental. Everything we could have needed was provided as well as more. Incredibly clean and well decorated.

My wife and I heard that this accommodation was newly available and since it was low season we took a chance on trying to book with a minimum of notice. While I wouldn't suggest doing this in the future as I expect that our hosts will be much busier due to the delightful accommodations and care our hosts provided. With little notice, we were made to feel very welcome and were presented with a beautiful apartment over the garage decorated gorgeously by our hosts. They were so helpful that they cancelled a dinner engagement to get us settled comfortably. With the bunkroom sleeping arraignment, comfortable sitting areas, and large dining area we could see that a family of five, the limit for the apartment, could have a great time together. The forest setting to one side and the nine hole golf course on the other, with the golf cart path that is fun to hike (and possibly see some of the deer that live on the island), makes this a healthy, specious setting to take time off to be with one's loved one(s). Anderson Island is beautiful and makes a wonderful retreat that I believe is probably even better in the warmer seasons, water sports being plentiful then. Our hosts showed showed a great deal of knowledge about the island that they obviously love and were eager to share that knowledge and advice. Restaurants and cafes serve simple, honest fare and I would suggest buying food on the mainland to prepare in the admittedly simple kitchen, microwave and toaster oven with coffee pot, sink, and dorm refrigerator. Amenities that some might forget were provided by our hosts as well as an incredible granola one can enjoy. We really enjoyed our stay and heartily recommend staying at this restful retreat.

Ruthy replies very quickly and is so nice and sweet! The house is so quiet and perfect for relaxing and rest! Nice trip! Will come back again!
