4. Cole's Cabin on Anderson Island

25mi from Auburn · 1 site · Lodging · Anderson Island, WA

Cute little wood cabin on a large, quiet lot, with covered porch looking out towards the water near the end of Cole's Point. Gravity fed fresh water at the sink on the porch. Inside, includes couch, queen bed, twin bed, fridge with chilled water, freezer, microwave. Nicely heated in winter and stays cool in summer. Sitting in comfy camp chairs on the covered porch can be magical during a spring rain. Outhouse with nightlight and composting toilet. Firepit with kindling and firewood in winter. (Summer fires are not allowed.) Short walk to the beach to the north. Short walk south to the edge of the Oro Bay as well. Kayaks can be rented on island. (Not related to the host.) Multiple hikes / walks within Jacob's Point, Andy's Marine Park, and 7 other parks on island. One wonderful little grocery store on island for fresh or incidental items along with one cafe, and one restaurant. The historic Johnson Farm and Museum can be a great place to sample island life from 100+ years ago. Pay extra for use of the twin electric bikes to ride the many quiet, scenic roads around the island. These roads can take you to the hikes, the store, cafe, or sample the sights like the 1928 ferry "Ocean City" slowly sinking into the mud in Oro Bay. There is often deer, hawks, eagles, coyotes, bunnies, and sometimes humpback or orca whales, all within sight of the cabin. It's a great place to escape the hectic pace of the city and enjoy the solitude interrupted only by the sound of the birds, and perhaps the distant trains about 3 miles away. Writer looking for a spot to focus on your next book? Reader wanting to finish a good book? Both are a perfect fit. Dogs are welcome but cannot run free due to the native animals that call the area home. The ferry is a 1 hour walk so cars are recommended. The Steilacoom ferry to Anderson Island leaves from the wonderful historic town of Steilacoom which is also well worth visiting. Want to add boating to your visit, reach out to South Sound Sailing Tours / Capt. Corey (360) 489-7476, CaptainCorey76@gmail.com .

3 nights at Cole's Cabin on Anderson Island

If you like to camp in the winter, like to take your dog, and want a roof with a heater over your head, this is perfect! It was a perfect island adventure. Fred's special touches included easy access pottable water and dishwashing sink on the porch of the cabin, a clean/neat outhouse, a bug flap, heater, microwave, fridge, and COOKIES! We walked down to the beach, took a couple trips to beautiful parks, and enjoyed the views of the water from the cabin. We brought a tent/shelter and put it up for an extra "room" to enjoy the views and grilled cheese/tomato soup, hot cider, and apple crisp. We heard coyotes howling in the distance, owls hooting, saw deer, coyotes, and river otters. We truly had an island adventure we will always cherish and remember. Thank you Fred for providing us this opportunity!!

I loved staying at Fred’s cabin! Truly had everything you need including an incredibly friendly and thoughtful host. It was quite stormy the weekend we stayed but it was perfectly cozy in the cabin with the little heater :) Fred even let us know when he heard about a nearby orca pod, we didn’t get to see them as they went on up to Tacoma, but he let us borrow his binoculars and told us all about the island and its animal sightings! 10/10 stay and weekend- hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed Cole's Cabin and equally appreciated Fred, the host, who was extremely personable, a wonderful conversationalist (thank you for the fun tidbits about the book/movie "The Art of Dancing In The Rain"), and went out of his way to make our stay positive, relaxing, and memorable...not to mention the delicious home-made brownies! We will be coming back to Anderson Island and Cole's Cabin in the future!

For the plant lovers, there's a huge variety of vegetation to check out.

Sally and Berry were amazing hosts. They have a beautiful property and our spot was nice and secluded. The porta potty was clean and convenient. Josh's hideaway is an awesome spot but my tent was definitely to big. A smaller tent would work better because there isn't a big level area. There are lots of trails. We were going to a concert at Remlinger Farms and there is a trail great for biking or walking to get there. Berry showed us how to find it. I would absolutely stay there again. We appreciated our hosts kindness.

Loved this glamping spot! A cabin with electricity, microwave and mini fridge made the perfect getaway. I tried it out one weekend with friends and liked it so much that I brought my kids the next weekend! Fred is such a fabulous host and so friendly along with everyone else I crossed paths with nearby. We brought our hammocks on stands and it was perfect for relaxing and viewing the Salish Sea and watching wildlife nearby and watching the night sky. My kids and I enjoyed swimming at Lowell Park on Lake Josephine too!

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful campsite. The lot sits behind a horse farm. There's a large lawn space for RVs or just kicking around a ball. The camp site is tucked away in the trees with a view of the river. Fits two 4-6 person tents. It's private and felt safe. We will definitely be booking here again!

Weekend Trip to Cole's Cabin on Anderson Island

Cole’s Cabin was exactly what we needed for an enjoyable anniversary getaway to nature without needing to rough it. The cabin contained useful amenities (mini-fridge, microwave), there was cell service in the area, the view was lovely, and the short hike to the beach access made it an adventure. We were uncertain about the directions to the beach, but Fred called us right away to guide us in the right direction! He was a very helpful host! 😊 We brought our dogs and were pleasantly surprised the island was pretty accommodating to dogs. Andy’s WIldlife Park and Freddie’s Dog Park are good for hiking with dogs and letting them off-leash. (Many of the other parks prohibit dogs.) The AI Cafe and the Riviera Lakeshore Restaurant allow dogs on their patios. We would definitely book the cabin for an overnighter again. The bed was comfy, there were good pillows, and the bedding kept us plenty warm. It felt very cozy as it rained outside, the rain stopping just in time for us to be able to enjoy the final concert of the summer at the Johnson farm (so much fun!). Anderson Island is beautiful, the community is friendly, and it feels remote, but it’s so close and easy to get to from the Tacoma area. ❤️

Such a sweet set up. Almost like camping but better since there's a mini fridge, fresh cookies, and a comfy bed. The island is very friendly and had a lot of activities to check out (farmers market, free blues concert, hiking, and beach access). Fred, the host, is really fun to talk to and very kind. We would love to come back next summer.
