Nestled among lofty evergreens like a portal to a storybook world, this cottage brings whimsy and charm to tranquil Anderson Island. This is a place to truly escape, whether that means days spent beachcombing, golfing, fishing, or kayaking the scenic waters of Puget Sound.

This quiet, two-story home sits among Douglas fir and western red cedar at the heart of Anderson Island. It's part of the Riviera Community Club, a membership which gives you access to the Riviera Golf Course, freshwater lakes, beaches, hiking and biking trails, a salmon stream, fishing docks, and courts for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball. Exploration is easy here, with the ferry dock just two miles north and an EV charger right on the property.

Greet each day outside on the spacious back deck, a beautiful, private, and serene spot to linger with your morning coffee and a view of the woods. It's a scene every bit as magical in the evenings, with marshmallows roasting over the outdoor firepit.

Inside, the house is an homage to a fantasy world, with tributes to the books that inspired the space leading you up the staircase. Bask in the natural light streaming in through large windows, whether you're cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, playing board games at the dining room table, or curling up in nest-like chairs to watch movies in the living room.

Great location and comfy beds
We loved the small touches of decor and thought that went into this home. Very much appreciate the dog friendliness too. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable and the shower nice and hot. Kitchen was well stocked and sizeable.
