On The Beach At Fox Island

Very pleasant and enjoyable stay

Great hosts! Super friendly and gracious! Thanks for the island information and the fresh veggies:) Our stay was very pleasant and quiet. We even got to use the dock and got our kayak out in the bay. Loved our conversations and hope to come back if in the area again!

Thanks guys for allowing us to stay!

Yet another lovely spot ...and extension

We really lucked out with these guys and this spot on Fox Island! We needed to arrive a day late and communication was easy and gracious. Then, we stayed a day later! The site is wonderful, quiet, shaded and my bedroom window gave me a daily view of the birds, squirrels and raccoons (!) who see their garden as "public". WE were able to visit Tacoma and several nice places around here as well as use the book and map they gave us to drive around and see Fox Island. Just can't say enough positive about our stay and hope maybe they'll come east sometime when we are at our host site!

Beautiful place, sweetest hosts

Jerre and Kathy are the sweetest people and their place is beautiful. Our favorite part was all the wildlife around the house. Beautiful birds eat at bird feeders right outside your window. The house is on the water. We went on a short walk and came face to face with two deer.

Do yourself a favor and park on the side of the road before your last right turn onto their road. Jerre knows the best way to come in. He is so helpful. We goofed and accidentally went into a ditch on one side. It was quite the spectacle as we blocked the neighbors from going in and out. I am so thankful for these gracious people that patiently waited with us as a the tow truck got us out. What a blessing Jerre’s calm demeanor was in that stressful situation. On second run he helped us get into the space and we had no problem getting in or out.

We had a wonderful time and are glad our first experience with boondocker’s Welcome was with such amazing hosts!

Great!!

A wonderful place to stay! Highly recommended.

Couldn't have had better hosts for our first experience with boondockers welcome!!

We cannot say enough about how welcoming Jerre and Kathy were. From the beginning, they responded quickly to our inquiries and offered helpful advice. We had a later departure than expected and ran into traffic delays along the way, thus arriving at their unknown place in the dark- not the best situation but our hosts took it in stride.. Their directions had been perfect and easy to follow. With flashlights and tips they watched and guided us so we could get our 36' motorhome turned around the bend into the driveway and then back beside their house. They encouraged us to use their electricity, water and wifi. From the minute we met them we felt right at home, and enjoyed chatting with them in the morning and meeting and petting their lovely dogs. They told us about another auto museum to visit and Kathy even printed off directions for us. It was so nice to be invited to stay another night if we wanted to explore the area longer, but unfortunately for this visit it didn't work as we were on a tight schedule.
The area is lovely, and very quiet and peaceful. The small toll fee for the bridge going back across to Tacoma is well worth it to be at a great location and with such delightful hosts. We do hope we can return to visit their place at Fox Island at another time.

Peacefull spot!

They have a straight shot view of Mt. Rainier (however it was not visible for us due to smoke). They have a big grass area which was great for our dog. We took a nice walk to a sandy shore. The hosts were very friendly and we enjoyed having a drink down by the water one evening! One thing to keep in mind is the toll for the Tacoma Narrows bridge ($6/car + $3/axel). Would certainly return if passing through again!

Wonderful visit!

We spent a great two nights and really had a nice time. They have 3 great dogs, but they are small and they keep them in a separate room if you not a 'dog person.' We are dog friendly and we shared our attention between our host and hostess and playing with the dogs. A good time was had by all.

This is a wonderful place and we look forward to returning when we pass through.

FYI!! Get phone directions. They are simple directions, but some GPS maps are not correct.

Thoughtful hosts

We had a quick stopover on fox Island and our hosts were very gracious. They went out of their way to print directions to various attractions our family might enjoy. Though we could not stay long, we enjoyed the peaceful setting and the gorgeous sunset over the water.
