Set on 27 private acres, paths wind through gardens, sculptural installations and a working lavender farm.

Located a ferry ride away from Seattle on the Kitsap Peninsula between Bainbridge Island and Olympic National Park, we are a quintessentially Pacific Northwest setting for getaways and celebrations.

**PLEASE DO NOT MAKE WEDDING REQUESTS ON THIS PLATFORM AS AIRBNB PROHIBITS VISITS OR CALLS PRIOR TO BOOKING. QUERY “ANKER KITSAP WEDDINGS” FOR INFO**

A beautiful natural setting for a self-care retreat or private getaway.

Fans of Pacific Northwest mid-century design love the residence, which was designed by an architect with roots in Norway and Japan from Douglas-fir timbers milled on-site.

Guests describe the house as an “architectural delight” with “beautiful touches throughout,” and the grounds as “gorgeous and spacious” (the word “magical” has been used more than once).

Anker has been updated with modern comforts while respecting its architectural integrity.

Kingston
On the Puget Sound shoreline, ferry rides and a boating lifestyle set a maritime tone, with docks, water views, and small-town streets.
This listing's location is verified.

From the host

Kingston House is 5 minutes from Kingston, a cute town on the Kitsap Peninsula. Ferries cross Puget Sound to downtown Seattle and Edmonds. (Groceries, pharmacy and coffee are 1 mile away).

Nearby communities of Bainbridge Island (ferry to Seattle), Norwegian-themed Poulsbo and historic Port Gamble are great day or half-day trips. Farther afield are Victorian Port Townsend and the rainforests of Olympic National Park.

Our "backyard" includes thousands of acres of protected parks with hiking and biking trails.
