About Tammy Kreger

I am proud and happy to say that I have lived in the Puget Sound area my entire life. One of my favorite pastimes is traveling. I have visited every continent, 60 different countries and taken 40 cruises (so far!). Because I have spent so much time traveling, I truly have a good understanding of guests' needs and wants.

Even though I am happy to have seen so much of the world, I am always grateful to return to an area as gorgeous and diverse as the Pacific Northwest.

Anderson Island, in particular, is one of my favorite places to 'get away' and relax. I really like the slower pace of life on the island. You can't help but feel a 'world away' from the hectic daily grind the moment you disembark the ferry. It really is a special place!

Tammy Kreger purchased this house in 1973
Why Tammy Kreger chose Anderson Island

This house has an interesting background, as it was one of several now on the island that were moved in via barge in the 1970s, transplanted from the SeaTac area near Seattle. I understand it was quite a site to behold: houses placed on stilts and shipped down the Puget Sound’s Narrows Inlet!

My parents purchased the home in 1973 as a place for our family to vacation. My brothers and I were always thrilled at every opportunity to visit the home and experience the natural beauty that surrounds it. They choose this particular property because it’s just one block from a fishing & swimming dock located on Lake Josephine. My husband will tell you this “is the best fishing dock on the lake!”

In my opinion, the property is ideally located. The seclusion of the coniferous trees surrounding the home allow you to truly relax in privacy, while so many great activities are easily within walking distance!

What makes this house unique

We like to take advantage of so many things the island has to offer; among our favorites are fishing, golfing and the wonderful restaurants. We also really enjoy browsing the numerous summertime yard & estate sales (you can find amazing things at excellent prices!), and we look forward to visiting the new wildlife preserve to catch some great wildlife pics!

Quiet and Comfy Island Home

4 of 5
Submitted: April 13, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My husband and I stayed in the Madrona Manor for four glorious days and nights. The home is very clean, has all of the comforts of home, and is centrally located. We enjoyed the short walk from the house to scenic Lake Josephine, and the longer one all the way around it on another day. We took short drives to the varied attractions on Anderson Island, and enjoyed a delicious meal and view at the Lakeshore Restaurant. Island life is relaxed and slower paced, but you can find many things to do during the day. We enjoyed a great game of tennis by the lakes, using the rackets that were provided with the house. Bikes and golf equipment are available as well. Night life is quieter on the Island, so if there are not any concerts or events going on in the evenings, the General Store has a great selection of movies to rent. The owners also provide a small selection of DVDs for your viewing pleasure.
The owners were very good about communicating and being available as needed. I would recommend this home for anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway on a beautiful island in the Puget Sound.

Owner's Response: We are very pleased that you enjoyed our home so much. You have brought up many of the fun things to do on the Island. Walking is wonderful because there is so little traffic to compete with. In our guest shed we supply bikes, helmets, tennis rackets, golf clubs, fishing poles, fishing gear, and more. You can stay very busy or just relax in the comfort of our home. We will look forward to your next visit to our Island getaway. Thank you for your kind words, Tammy Kreger, Owner of Madrona Manor on Anderson Island.

Amazing Relaxing Weekend: Just what the doctor ordered

My wife and I had a fantastic time at Madrona Manner. We went on this trip to have the opportunity to relax by reading books, playing games, and just having the opportunity to be away from the rush of every day life. We would highly recommend this home for a couple or a small family wanting to relax, enjoy nature, and spend some quality time together.

Owner's Response: It makes me extremely happy that you and your wife had such a wonderful relaxing time at Madrona Manor. It is fun to hear that even during the winter you had a great time. During the winter is my favorite time to be at Anderson Island. It is a great time to relax, bike ride, walk, squid jig, cozy up to the wood stove, fish, ect. Madrona Manor is extremely romantic because of the privacy and quiet neighborhood. We look forward to welcoming you and your wife back again for your next visit.

Anderson Island-spectacular home!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 6, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
The character, furnishings, care, location and all the extra little touches provided by the Kreager's was spectacular!

Having rented other vacation get aways we can say without a doubt that this one was the best! The Kreagers maintain this home as if they lived there, not "just" as a income provider. As soon as you open the door you truly feel as if you are home.

The Pacific Northwest, the fireplace, the evergreens and the beautiful Puget Sound was the perfect back drop for a phenomenal Christmas and New Year's!

Thank you!
Owner's Response: It makes me extremely happy to hear that you enjoyed our Puget Sound Island getaway so much. It was wonderful that you could come all the way across the country to celebrate Christmas and New Years at my home. It is important to us to have our guests well equipped and comfortable during their stay. I hope you can come and enjoy our home again in the future.
Thank you,
Tammy Kreger, Owner of Madrona Manor on Anderson Island

Island Vacation on the Mainland!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 1, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Being from Minnesota, the opportunity to spend some time on an island in the Sound was noit to be passed up. Madrona Manor and Anderson Island certainly exceeded our expectations! Gorgeous views of Ranier, terrific swimming beaches, friendly island neighbors, and serenity filled our four days and nights. The Manor is a delightful newer, immaculately kept house in the trees complete with a doe and fawn visiting us every morning about breakfast time. The owners thought of everything from the membership cards to DVDs (appreciated by our teen guests) to bikes in the shed. We would certainly recommend this comfortable hide-away on the Island to anyone looking for a unique and restful vacation in the Northwest!

Owner's Response: Nothing makes me happier than hearing that our guests had a wonderful time in my special Anderson Island home. It is so much fun to see the abundant wildlife in the yard, (fawns are so cute). It makes me also happy and proud that you traveled such a distance to enjoy my wonderful home. Madrona Manor is so relaxing and peaceful, it is one of my favorite places on earth. I am glad that you and your grandchildren enjoyed our bikes and other things in our guest shed. Thank you again for the kind words.

Combined Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay in your lovely home. The house is very clean and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, as well as having room for our personal belongings to be put away. I stayed with my husband, mother and sister and felt that we had room to ourselves and never felt crowded. I was very pleased that the home was across the street from my favorite private dock on Lake Josephine at Sunfish (a huge bonus). The front deck is a great place to sit outside and soak in the afternoon and late day sun. The homeowner was gracious and helpful throughout the process of securing the rental. Being able to use the Riviera amenities was also a huge plus in regard to accessing the campgrounds, parks, etc. I highly recommend this rental, as well as I plan to keep it in mind for future trips to the Island.

Owner's Response: It was my pleasure to have your family stay at my beautiful home. I am glad that everyone was comfortable and that no one felt crowded. It is such a peaceful property with the wildlife and Madrona trees surrounding the home. It is nice that neighbors are not very close. One of the main reasons the property was purchased is because it is a block from a nice dock on Lake Josephine. You and your family are welcome back anytime. Thank you!

My husband and I and my two year old stayed here for almost 2 weeks. It was just wonderful. The house is newly remolded. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. It is so peacefull and quite there. You also will find fishing poles and bikes. The owner is very helpful and was very flexible to accommodate us. We booked in last minute and had to change the departure day in last minute.
We all enjoyed it very much and hope we can come back :)

Wonderful relaxing time

5 of 5
Submitted: May 11, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
My husband and I spent four days at this beautiful home. Having never been to Anderson Island before we enjoyed the ferry ride and the beautiful scenery of the island by both foot and auto, and enjoyed the lovely lake with all its possibilities for boating, swimming and fishing. I can't say enough about the beautiful home, which we learned was completely remodeled recently. Loved just sitting around inside and out when we felt like "kicking back" and relaxing. The kitchen is to die for...wish I could move it to my house! If you get a chance spend a few nights like we did or a whole week. You will thoroughly enjoy it. We sure did.

Owner's Response: It is so wonderful that you had such a nice time. The kitchen is a pleasure to be in, there is plenty of room for many people to help because of the open floor plan. It is amazing how the stress leaves my body once I get on the ferry. I am looking forward to your return visit. Thank you for the kind review.
