Bike Trip
We are 6 friends on a bike trip and stayed for 1 night. The house is cute, but management is poor. Front door had not been programed, bedrooms were locked, lack of towels. The house is advertised as having 2 bathrooms, and a hot tub, but there is only 1 bathroom and no hot tub. Vashon is a sweet town but not many places to stay.

Family Christmas Dinner
Lisa’s property had a big dining room table which was perfect. Our kids live on the island but in studios. We had to celebrate a day later. Both grandchildren were able to come in the morning, have our Christmas morning and drive home. Only thing to be aware of is the bathrooms are all downsrairs

Nice short stay
The house was isolated and a little small for 2 couples, but very comfortable. We had to call the owner to get the code to unlock the second bedroom. No functioning coffee pot we could figure out so we went out for breakfast. Great garden with birds and a cat.

Know before you go
My Mom and I stayed one night for a nearby wedding. We had no problem finding the home or getting inside. However as soon as we entered I was as struck by the smell. It wasn’t the general “empty house” smell, nor was it the typical smell of an old house. Upstairs the smell was worse and to me, it smelled like cat pee and plug-in air fresheners. The 2nd floor has carpet so I’m guessing that’s why the smell was stronger. I can be sensitive to smells, but my mom isn’t and she was bothered too. For me, it was so bad i tried to sleep with my shirt over my nose. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa DeFaccio

Host profile image
A Vashon resident since 1975, I am a design consultant for remodel projects and interiors, make ceramics (search lisadefaccio to see what I make) and spend any spare time with horses. I manage Vashon Field and Pond, a destination venue, Cottonwood, and have 5 other cottages near Pt. Robinson on Vashon Island. I look forward to hosting you and hope to meet you during your time on the island.

Why they chose this property

I grew up on Vashon and had picked strawberries there as a teenager. The field is now fallow and the blackberry vines have taken the place of orderly rows of strawberries. Most the strawberry and currant farms that were a mainstay of Vashon's early economy had vanished by the late 70s due to a lack of people available to harvest the crops. A local jam company was planning to use the property as a production facility, but the purchasers moved the business off-island. I purchased the property from them in 1996.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located it is a short walk, or bike ride into the town of Vashon. The property is about 12 minutes from either ferry terminal and is on the main bus line. Vashon Shuttle Service will pick people up at the airport or ferry terminal with advance reservations. Note that Uber/Lyft and taxis don't operate on the island currently
