Our Scandi Home Away from Home

To the beautifully designed space to the comfortable decor and the ease in which Andrew made us feel on checkin and during our stay this was an ideal place to base our explorations of Seattle. Sleep was easy coming and relaxation was at our fingertips. Highly recommended not just for the space but for the welcoming host.

Bright and cozy

This guesthouse is thoughtfully laid out and comfortable for one (or two). Andrew provided helpful instructions for finding the entrance and parking and was quick to respond to one minor issue I had. The issue was there were quite a few ants in the kitchen area, so it's best not to leave food out or any water in the sink. The traps Andrew added were effective. The induction hot plate worked great, and the kitchen was well stocked. The bed was really comfortable, too.

Seattle trip

First time in Seattle and we had the best time. This home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood just down the hill from the busy city. The property manager was very detailed with check in and out process and had great communication the entire time. We will definitely stay here again if we get the chance to return to Seattle.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
I am a dual Canadian/ American living the life in Seattle! Over the years I have traveled many places and met many interesting and kind folks. When I am not being the best dad I can for my two boys, or traveling the world, I work as a designer and builder. The cottage I let, is one of my design and build.

Why they chose this property

My home is a labor of love for me. I have designed and built everything on the property, from every stick of lumber, to every yard of concrete, to the landscapes and plantings. It is a truly unique place that I love to share with others.
