We love kids, but the yard is not appropriate for unattended small children. There is a small, unfenced, in-ground water feature and an unfenced ravine leading to a salmon stream. For their safety, small children must be supervised outdoors.

All linens including towels are provided. Please bring your own toiletries, (soap, shampoo, etc.)

No parties. We are located in a residential neighborhood, next door to a retirement facility. We respect our neighbors, and we ask that you do the same. Pre-negotiated, small events may be accommodated on a case by case basis. Additional fees may apply.

Fabulous Staycation
We visit our son and his family every year and this year we thought it would be fun to have a staycation...it was a huge success. The location worked out perfectly for us! I could walk my granddaughter to her school, walk to Lincoln Park (amazing!! fun for all ages!!), or run up to the corner store for needed items (they even had corn starch). The home itself was also great. The bedrooms were comfy, bathrooms great, and with 4 levels, fun for the kids to explore. The g-kids couldn't believe there were TV's in every bedroom, a special treat for them. They also loved the large bathtub in the master bedroom, our 3 yr old wanted to take a bath every night! I like to cook and this kitchen had almost everything I needed, many more gadgets than any VRBO I've stayed at over the past 14 years. Old school kitchen but loaded with the pots, pans, blenders, etc that you might need. Tom and Carolin were great! We were greeted with a refrig with our favorite yogurt and water, and a basket full of snack bars that our gkids loved! For us, it was the perfect family experience!

Family Birthday Weekend
The perfect house for our large family ranging in age from 5 to 70. C-line bus access was so convenient to get downtown. Loved the home, and location in a nice neighborhood with a short walk to the beach. Hosts were awesome. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic House and Service
We loved this place and highly recommend it! Beautiful home chuck full of character - renovated but in keeping with 100+ year age of the home. We found the owners fantastic to deal with. Tom met us on arrival, gave us practical information and interesting history on the home. We truly appreciate what was set up for guest use on our arrival - from towels and linens to coffee and snacks. Also, we found the location outstanding. Express Bus downtown stops literally right outside the door!

Thanksgiving in West Seattle
We spent a week at this property celebrating thanksgiving with our family. The beach was with in a short walk, restaurant was around the block and a small store for take out or other needs. For a house being this old the heating system was very good and never had a problem with enough hot water for baths/showers. The house itself was very comfortable and in a very nice neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful property has a history of being operated as a bed and breakfast for 25 years. We were lucky enough to be able to purchase it from the estate of the previous owner, and poured our heart and soul into it for two years prior to reopening as a vacation rental home. This nearly century-old home was in need of a lot of love. We've ensured it will last another 100 years by giving it a new roof, new siding, new windows, new wiring, new plumbing, and new heating. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
