We had great communication from our host. Her home was inviting and comfortable, perfect for the holidays! All the amenities were very nice and the location was convenient to visiting different areas.
The kitchen was supplied with all sorts of wonderful appliances and cooking tools. It was anxious to open the drawers and see what was there. You couldn't ask for a cleaner home. And then there were all the little finishing touches like a basket of toiletries on the bedside table of each bed, numerous bundles of charging cords typed neatly together for various USB styles, coasters on each bedside table, etc. Cathy seems to have thought of most everything... And she's incredibly responsive to messages --- I think in no more than 15 minutes each time I wrote. Last but definitely, not least, it is the aesthetic that she's brought to this home. Wonderful prints on the walls throughout, and the furniture and floor coverings that fit so perfectly with the period when the house was built. Can you tell? I'd love to live in this house! I totally recommend it. You'll be in for a treat.
This place is simply spectacular. From the exceptionally well-stocked kitchen to the tasteful decor, large dining room table, and musical instruments, it was beyond perfect for my stay. We had guests in for a small afternoon "celebration of life" for my recently departed musician mother; the vibes were so warm, comforting and comfortable -- completely appropriate.
This was the perfect place to spend our vacation in the SeaTac area. Felt like the perfect home away from home! We enjoyed the instruments, games, and even the Bluetooth speaker and those small touches made it feel even more like a home, not just a house. Thank you, Cathy!
Cathy was very responsive to any concerns we had. The house was great and met our needs - excellent air conditioning was greatly appreciated. The back yard was perfect for grilling and visiting in the early mornings and evenings. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Our kids and grandkids made their first ever trip to Washington from Indiana and Cathy’s Craftsman was perfect!! It is close to everything - has a nice park up the block and most importantly it feels just like home!! Do not hesitate to book this lovely craftsman - it is amazing!
This home was extremely well set up and had everything we needed. The small touches count: fresh coffee, condiments in the fridge, some basics in the cupboard, internet that worked well, and easy check-in. On top of that, the house was warm and inviting, the rooms were on point, and there were lots of clean towels, etc. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much Shawn, I’m glad you liked it! For return guests I offer 3rd night free, hope we will host you and your family again sometime!
We had a fantastic stay at this home! It was incredibly cozy, clean, and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax. The house was very spacious, offering plenty of room to spread out. It was also well-stocked with amenities, making the stay even more convenient. From start to finish, everything was smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped place to stay!
I utilize VRBO and others like it about once a month for work. This has absolutely been the best experience I've had yet. The house was decorated beautifully, was in a great location, was clean, the host, Cathy, was so sweet, and it's by far the best stocked property I've ever stayed in. This will be our go-to property while in the area for sure!!
We really loved everything about our stay..house totally fab..was extremely homey & comfortable..slept very well..what a miracle at our ages..really enjoyed snuggling up in front of fireplace..Loved the decor..all matched the age of house.was very impressed..thank you for the great memories..
This beautifully decorated craftsman bungalow, with themed bedrooms, was a delight for our two night stay. Convenient location and just a few blocks from a grocery store. The five of us were in town for dragon boat races and were very comfortable. The owner was easily reachable and responsive. We'll be back next year!
This home was exceedingly well put together. The amount of thought put in to accommodate guests is unparalleled. Beside how well stocked the amenities were, the ambiance was warm and inviting. Each room has it's own character, but the designer was able to weave a fluidity throughout. Do yourself justice and book today!

About the host
Your host
I love the Northwest lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors fishing, snowshoeing, hiking and gardening, but my real passion is restoring old Craftsman homes. I’ve owned and restored 14 of them over the years, but the Cushman house is definitely my favorite. I’ve restored everything from the original wood windows and clawfoot tub to the plaster walls, and I feel like the house is a cherished member of my family. Over the last 20 years I have worked to bring the house back to its original glory, furnishing and decorating it in true period style, and now I want to share it with the world. Hosting guests here has been a very gratifying experience, I enjoy providing guests with a comfortable and unique stay, and hope that they can come to appreciate the house as much as I do.
