Lovely weekend away from it all

We had a lovely weekend baking Christmas cookies, enjoying our view of the lake, playing board games, and walking over to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. 🤗

Perfect relaxing weekend getaway

Great little hidden gem! The dock in the morning with coffee was my favorite! It is literally steps away from the restaurant which was wonderful too a little loud in the morning when they were opening but not bad. It was a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie / Brina

We were married right here on the lawn in front of the beach in 1998! We were both born and raised in the Seattle area, and are now “rainbirds”.....West Seattle in the summer, and Sun City Grand, Arizona in the winter.

Why they chose this property

Maybe the best location on the whole island: 100 feet from the beautiful Lakeshore Restaurant next door, and 500 yards from the meticulously maintained, tree -lined executive Riviera golf course with its less than $20.00 green fees! Plus, only one mile to the Island General Store, and three miles to the ferry.

What makes this property unique

If you like to fish, Lake Josephine is full of trout and bass! And if you just want to relax, the setting is quiet, peaceful, and totally beautiful. Like being at Grandma’s house——only better. A little bit of paradise!!!
