About the host
Hosted by Jill McCormick
Both my husband and myself have grown up in the Pacific Northwest and love living and traveling around the area. We are active skiers, hikers and bikers. We are sadly, currently between dogs, but love having dogs around and keep our Carriage House pet friendly. We do have some fun city chickens that have filled our pet void for the time being.
Our three kids are grown and have flown the nest and are living independent lives and we are looking forward to being Grandparents soon!!
We have lived all over Seattle and love the Capitol Hill, Eastlake neighborhoods and have now, are enjoying the wonderful views of Portage Bay! This is a wonderful community tucked at the edge of four wonderful water features: Lake Washington, Lake Union, Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut. An easy and safe neighborhood to walk around to explore parks and restaurants and views.
While we both are still engaged with our professional lives, we love hosting guests in the Carriage House. It's fun to hear peoples stories of travel and to watch them explore our city. We take great pride in helping them enjoy their vacations, or making them feel comfortable and at home while visiting friends and family.
We work very hard to keep the Carriage House both authentic and in excellent shape. Linens and supplied items are kept clean and in operable condition and well stocked. We set high expectations for our traveling experiences and we aim to make sure our guests receive the same amount of care and forethought. We look forward to continuing with the care and attention that older buildings require, as this one is certainly worth having around! We take every opportunity to make it a better place at each check in and out.
Enjoy your time in Seattle!!!

Why they chose this property
Portage Bay is a hidden Seattle secret! Nestled at the intersections of North Capitol Hill, Eastlake and the University District, Portage Bay sits on the shores of the Montlake Cut. It's an easy walk from the Carriage House to Portage Bay, Lake Washington and Lake Union.
You can walk to Aqua Verde cafe and enjoy a cool drink, delicious Mexican food and rent a paddleboard or kayak. If you like parks, there are some of Seattle's best parks within walking distance. One of the major challenges in Seattle is our traffic, and our central location makes getting around Seattle less of an issue.
Even though we are in a city neighborhood, the Carriage House is surrounded by trees so our guests often feel like they have found a special little cottage in the city.
We are also lucky to have some of Seattle's best restaurants nearby. Feel free to reach out for any recommendations. One of Seattle's fun neighborhoods is Capitol Hill which is very convenient to our location. We are also just across the bridge from University of Washington and during football season, you will notice lots of Husky fans walking to the game.
We invite you to be our guest and find out why we love living here too!!

What makes this property unique
I think among other things that people find charming about this house, is that it was actually a functioning carriage home for many years. The actual 'carriage doors' were given to a restoration company when we purchased the property. The bedrooms and kitchen were horse stables and the bathroom was the tack room. The spiraling stairway up to the top was where they stored the hay!
It is made of stone and very thick insulation so that the upstairs area is actually very insulated from the downstairs area.
I can not imagine a more unique - historical property - so close to the city and walkable to neighborhood hot spots.
