About Indianola

Indianola is a rural residential area, just south of Kingston on the part of Puget Sound called Port Madison.  It was originally established (in 1916) as a summer community for Seattleites. The Indianola dock, built when the Mosquito Fleet boats supplied the majority of transportation on Puget Sound, was easy access for weekending families. Now this local landmark has been converted for recreational use (shortened to 870 feet), and the center of on-going local activity.

Take the Seattle/Bainbridge ferry from downtown Seattle and another 30 minute drive to paradise.  You can also take the Edmonds/Kingston ferry (10 minutes from the Beach House), or drive around via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

One of the more interesting things in town is the annual summer festival “Indianola Days”, complete with fun run, amateur sand castle building, salmon bake, occasional talent show, and pet parade.

There’s so much to see and do on the Kitsap Peninsula! Nearby towns include Kingston, Port Gamble, Suquamish, Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, and Silverdale. You’ll find fine dining, wine tasting, antique shops, and farmers markets all just a short drive away. We’re only seven miles from the popular Clearwater Casino and The Point Casino & Resort. Golf enthusiasts will love the beautiful White Horse Golf Club, located just up the street. From Poulsbo to Sequim, lavender farms abound, while Bainbridge Island’s Bloedel Reserve offers a truly unforgettable experience. History lovers can explore the Suquamish Museum or the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport. And don’t miss the charming Scandinavian town of Poulsbo, with its unique shops, welcoming restaurants, and picturesque marina.
