Bring waterproof shoes or rubber boots in fall, spring or winter if you want to hike about during the rainy season. It is also nice to bring a cozy pair of slippers along with you to keep your toes warm. We live nearby and are available to help with whatever you might need during your stay. There is information about things to see and do on Vashon in the House Manual and there are alternate contact numbers there also should you need anything during your visit and not be able to reach Lisa for some reason. The Vashon Chamber of Commerce, Vashon Events and Vashon Allied Arts websites have listings of wineries, galleries, shows/events, movie theater listings, etc.
There is a separate studio apartment, Wildwood Studio, that sleeps two on the opposite side of the large barn. If you are interested in renting that space also, please let us know. The Loft & Beach, which sleeps up to 4, is a two minute walk across the property. Bluff House is next to the Loft - it sleeps 6 and overlooks Puget Sound. In the warmer months there is a wonderful beach area with a portable toilet, shower, sink, kitchenette, hammocks and a barbecue in the summer that rents with the Loft and/or Bluff House. There are several cottages, all private and separate from the other. The property sleeps 19 in various houses/cottages, and vashonfieldandpond can be rented for events for up to 500 guests, as well.

We come up to the barn to feed the horses in the mornings again at night (sometimes after dark), so don't be alarmed if you see us walk by the greenhouse or parking area.
