We had a wonderful stay while moving our son to UW. The location was fantastic—close to campus and centrally located, which made getting around very convenient. The house was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. It was a great home base during a busy move-in week, and we would definitely stay here again!

Very convenient place to stay in Seattle. Close to lots of things but pretty quiet part of town. Hosts did a great job communicating and making us feel welcome. A few evenings it was a bit warm in the house and so we got the fans going and it cooled down. For people used to air conditioning (we are from Iowa) you may need to utilize the fans to cool down in the late afternoon and evening.

This little house is a gem! The kids loved the upstairs room and decided to share it. The hosts are very communicative and it’s nice having an off street parking spot even though the space is narrow.

Fantastic spot for our family, and the hosts were wonderful. Only a 10-15 minute drive from any of the main Seattle tourist attractions, but close to plenty of other parks, restaurants and activities. We could not have asked for a better spot. Our kids adored the chickens, too — probably one of the highlights of the trip for them!

Perfect place to stay for a quieter feel than staying downtown. The backyard is your own little oasis. It’s stocked with plenty of toys for the kids, including a slide for my youngest. The house was well stocked with everything you could need, including games and books for the little ones. The rooms were super cozy and cute. Laundry onsite was awesome. My family of 5 were there during a heat wave and there is no AC, like most Seattle homes, but there were plenty of fans to make it comfortable and a portable AC upstairs which was great. Communication was quick and easy.

Thank you for being our guest, and I wish you would have let us know what was wrong with your stay to earn the very low, in fact, my lowest...ever review. I wish that we could have known you were so uncomfortable or that so many things went wrong so that we could have contacted VRBO to get you to a much better place for you and your guests. So sorry :(

Cute little cottage!

Our family had a great stay here for 5 days. The location was very convenient to downtown areas, the ferries, and the university area. We loved feeding the chickens and playing paddle smash! Host was great and gave us everything we needed.

Lovely cottage!

I needed a place for me and my adult son, plus two elderly relatives who use walkers and can’t manage stairs. This place is easy to get into, with 2 comfy bedrooms on the ground floor. I would definitely stay there again!
