Welcome to Iola Gardens, Vashon Island’s private member collective
Your Story, Our Setting.
Our spaces are cared for and shared to balance productive focus with a true island escape. Whether you need a quiet outdoor desk to relax and break the isolation of working from home, a peaceful corner for a small team breakout session, or a full-property buyout for a wellness-centered corporate retreat, our gates are open for member-supported events. Find room to breathe, think, and restore your rhythm.

Gather with Our Community
Step into our seasonal calendar. Because we operate within a private club framework to protect our slow pace, we simply ask our community to register for a membership tier before attending upcoming artisan workshops, shared Long Table dinners, and outdoor music sessions. From sunlit summer evenings on the lawn to cozy winter gatherings inside the Barn, our expansive grounds host a beautiful, year-round rhythm of connection.

Your Story, Our Setting
Iola Gardens moves with the rhythms of the Pacific Northwest, which means our capacity and layouts adapt naturally to the time of year. Whether you are looking for a cozy winter strategy session or a sprawling summer buyout across the meadows, our spaces shape themselves perfectly to your vision.
The Cozy Season (Late Autumn to Early Spring) When the weather cools, focus moves to our heated indoor and sheltered spaces to keep your team warm, inspired, and close to the coffee.
The Barn Long-Table: Comfortably hosts 12 guests around a single table for intimate executive focus sessions or private dinners.
Casual Breakouts: The Barn configuration easily adapts to host 15+ guests for relaxed, collaborative workshops and brainstorming sessions.
The Covered Patio: Expands your footprint to accommodate up to 40 guests in a sheltered, comfortable open-air setting protected from the elements.
The Sunlit Season (Late Spring to Early Autumn) When the lawns are in bloom, our footprint expands dramatically, letting your group escape into the fresh air and utilize the entire map.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Seamlessly connect the Barn and the surrounding patio spaces to host dynamic corporate workshops and shared meals.
The Great Lawn & Meadow Buyouts: Dynamically scales from reception-style mixers of 50–75 guests up to full-property retreats of 150. For these larger footprints, we manage full-grounds coordination, parking solutions, and seasonal infrastructure.
Every season holds a different flow. Tell us your timeline, and we will tailor the space to your group.
