Sojourn House is a one-level, 1,550 square-foot house with a large private back garden with patio. Well built in 1958, it has high ceilings, hardwood floors, and two newly remodeled bathrooms. Special features include Persian & Oriental rugs, two large comfy sofas in the living room, original art on the walls, some interesting antique furniture , luxurious 100% cotton bed linens, and down-filled comforters. The master bedroom has its own cable TV and en suite bath. We've just renovated the kitchen; it has brand new appliances including a microwave, full-sized stove/oven, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, and coffee grinder. The kitchen is stocked with all the dishes, glasses, cooking pots, and utensils you could need. As Sojourn House guests, you can use the Vashon Island Golf and Country Club for swimming, dining, tennis, and golfing. Imagine a island the size of Manhattan, but with only 10,000 residents. Imagine 250 miles of paved road with only three 4-way stops, and no other traffic lights. Don't expect souvenir shops or glitz. Vashon Island is upscale rural with a large arts community. Live music in several venues every week-end. A difficult 9 hole private golf course. 4 excellent restaurants. Our only 'chain' eatery is a Subway. No shopping malls. You can get here by ferry, private boat or small plane. But there are no taxis or car rentals. No hotels or motels. Great views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. Enjoy shopping for antiques, art, and local crafts. Visit the lighthouse, or go beachcombing (the closest public beach is just two miles away), Enjoy kayaking (rentals are available), fishing, or diving. Enjoy biking on our hilly roads. Play golf. Or walk half a mile to a restaurant or movie in the village. This is a great equestrian island, with lots of trails. Horse rentals are available. West Seattle is just a 15 minute ferry ride on the car ferry, and the commuter passenger-only ferry is a 30 minute ride to downtown Seattle. The excellent Point Defiance Zoo (in Tacoma) is within walking distance of the "South End" ferry (a 10 minute ferry ride). We accept Visa & Mastercard.
