Mom's Escape: South Sound Island Life Awaits

Want to explore the beauty of the South Sound, yet relax and unwind in island style? August Inn on Anderson Island provides the escape to restore your mind, spirit, and body. Whether you'd like a romantic weekend with your spouse or partner, to sip wine while overlooking the magnificient sound with your girlfriends, or if you'd like to walk along the beach on your own in quiet contemplation, this destination gives moms (and dads!) a nice respite.

So let's go!

Accessible by boat or a short ferry ride from Steilacoom , you will witness the spirit of the island first hand. Scenic and peaceful, the panoramic water and mountain views, lush nature and animal life, and laid back island vibe makes this island a pure gem. As you enjoy your boat and ferry ride, your worries will disappear in the fresh sea air. Easy? You bet (and it will get easier).

The inn is  a longtime establishment mere minutes from the ferry landing and is an simple and quick drive.  Situated right on the water with an unobstructed view of Mount Rainier, you can watch the water gently lap the shore, sea birds soar in the sky, and  enjoy the beach which is rich with shells and sea life, perfect for beachcombing.  The inn itself is well appointed with three different options to meet your needs.

There are two suites (The Rainier and The Heron) that offer stunning views, modern conviences, and pure romance.  The Beachfront unit is the largest unit and has the same commanding views as the suites. It features two large bedrooms on the lower floor and a loft with  twin brass and recreation room. The living room on the main floor is comfortable and stylish yet homey with a dining area and well appointed kitchen. 

The exterior of the inn has amazing decks from each suite and a beautiful garden view deck. Whatever the season or whatever your plans are (romantic dinner, wine tasting, long walks, a beach picnic, or curling up with a great book), this inn will capture your imagination.

While you are at it, explore the island, too. You will not be disappointed. Check out the Riviera Community Club for dining and golf options. Learn about the interesting island history at the local musuem . If you like to walk or run, revel in nature, or bird watch you may want to check into the local parks website to see the rich offerings on the island.

Whether you want to slow your pace or have a more active trip, or somewhere in between, island life is good for you. Enjoy
