Photos and Description of the Vashon Island vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)

Wolf Glen is a wonderfully cozy 2 bedroom home with a large covered deck for outdoor grilling and dining on a natural glen that slopes toward the water. One property up from the water, it's a short walk down a single lane road that follows McCormick Creek to the waterfront of Puget Sound.

Start by stepping out the front door to walk across the yard, through the bamboo gateway and, if you want, even walk through the wolf and eagle tree carving (see photos). I'll write more about the fir tree (the source of most of the siding on the house) and the carving of the statue later.

The home is fully equipped for cooking and dining with comfortable seating for 6 at the dining table. There's a couple stools at the cooking peninsula for friends or family to sit and chat while someone whips up something yummy in the kitchen.

For tea drinkers there's a convenient Instahot hot water maker (dispenses filtered cold and hot water). For Coffee drinkers you will find a bag of Wolf Blend coffee from The Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, the birthplace of Stewart's Brothers Coffee which later became Seattle's Best Coffee. If you want a fabulous latte, in my book, there's no better place to go. Just a short drive down the middle of the island.

If you don't want to cook there are many fabulous restaurants and coffee shops. Fine dining at the Hardware Store (sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it). Great hash brown and eggs at Sporty's. Delicious Mexican and marguritas at Casa Bonita's and many other wonderful places to choose from.

There are several stores in town for those that like to shop. A drug store and 2 grocery stores.

A washer and dryer and laundry soap are included for your convenience.

You can heat with the modern Convectaire wall heaters or use the wood stove for the ambience of the fire.

You can't find a more relaxing place to hang out with friends or family and be this close to Seattle and all of the big city activities it offers.

About The Owner

I'm a remodeling contractor of many years. Started out as a carpenter and a painter and now have a small but successful design/build remodeling business with 8 wonderful employees. I enjoy my work and I have an interest in interfaith studies with the hope of helping people of differing faiths find the common ground we all stand upon.

The Owner purchased this house in 2007
Why The Owner chose Vashon Island

I have always wanted to have a place where people could come and relax and enjoy the quiet or hang out with friends and family. Originally I bought this place to be my home but have since decided to bring my dream alive of a vacation place for others.

What makes this house unique

Sitting in the hot tub and looking up at the stars. Watching deer wander into the yard. Walking the beach and seeing seals or otters swimming through the water or eagles and opsrey flying overhead.

Relaxing Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: November 28, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Wolf Glen was perfect for our family thanksgiving get together. We are a couple with three semi-adult sons and a dog, who all gathered and relaxed together in this peaceful setting. We found being in this thoughtfully designed and tastefully furnished house helped us slow down, relax and enjoy each others company. While soaking in the hot tub, we enjoyed the view of the water in the distance and deer grazing in the meadow. Between rain showers, we took a couple of hikes on the island. Lots of information on local hikes was provided. The kitchen worked out fine for cooking large meals (appreciated the dishwasher). There's no big screen tv to distract. But there are some fun board games to play by the wood burning stove. This home has many wonderful "green" features. I think our favorite was the radiant floor heat in the bathrooms. Ah, there's nothing like getting your feet warmed while in the bathroom. We hope to come again to Wolf Glen in the summer to enjoy the outdoor deck and to use the outdoor grill and smoker.

A perfect weekend getaway

5 of 5

I booked Wolf Glen for my bff's 30th birthday and we couldn't have been happier. The place was very clean and fully stocked on firewood, which was great because it rained all weekend. The kitchen is rather small for cooking but we managed. All in all, the house cozily accommodated four adults and two dogs. It was heaven waking up each morning and throwing the ball from the sprawling deck.

The beach is a quick walk down a dirt road. Even better, the hot tub is big and actually hot (instead of lukewarm).

If you're looking for a cozy weekend getaway that's close to both the ferry terminal and town, I highly recommend Wolf Glen.

This cottage was perfect for our stay on Vashon. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel at home. I loved sitting on the deck sipping my coffee each morning while watching the deer feed on the fallen plums at the bottom of the garden. We nibbled a few of the plums ourselves. I would definitely recommend this home.

Some friends of mine and I wanted a weekend away from Seattle and the busy pace of work. Wolf Glen on Vashon was the perfect place. Very well laid out, peaceful and idyllic - it's a little piece of heaven.

Fantastic property with great outdoor space and access to surrounding area. Property is well maintained, attractive, and very comfortable. Owner was very helpful and accomodating to arrange the booking. This has the feeling of borrowing a friend's very special getaway cabin which is completely set up for a great visit. I would highly recommend this property.

We brought our own items (travel high chair, travel crib) to make the interior of the property work with young children.
