The Swallow's Nest is a 10-15 minute ferry boat ride from Seattle, Tacoma, or
the Olympic Peninsula. It affords travelers the opportunity to sojourn in a peaceful,
country retreat. Eight charming cottages in four separate locations are furnished
in a comfortable, warm, manner with plants, a rocking or arm chair, television, light
cooking facilities, books, magazines, and a supply of tea, cocoa and fresh coffee. Two of
the cottages have a magnificent view of Mount Rainier and the Puget Sound.
Two are adjacent to a lovely wooded area next to the
Island's premier golf course. Still another overlooks the scenic Burton Quartermaster
Harbor.
The community of Vashon offers a variety of activities for visitors. You may
enjoy kayaking, boating, fishing and swimming. The Island has many charming restaurants, a
movie theater, antique shops, art galleries, shops and parks.
Bicyclists will enjoy miles of paved roads and many outstanding views.
