Our host (Cole) was very welcoming. The place was clean and open/large enough for my family of five. The best part was that it was an 8 minute walk to my son's home nearby. And we really appreciated the rental's interior set-up --- with one bedroom & bath on one side of the place and the other two bedrooms & bath on the other side. (Worked well for my other son and his young family to have their own area.)

We had a great stay at Cole’s Ballard cottage. The house was very clean and the neighborhood is lovely and quiet but close to lots of fun things in Ballard, including a nice neighborhood park and a soccer/baseball field. Cole was very pleasant to deal with and left lots of helpful information. Checking in and out was very easy. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience all around. This home exceeded expectations, right down to the smallest of details (soft towels, plenty of pillows, lovely hand soap, etc.). We especially loved the private yard. We didn’t have our dog with us, but she would have been delighted! For anyone with kids, there’s a great playground in walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

Great house! The master bedroom has a door that sends in a ton of light if you like to sleep in. But its vacation so it didn't bother us. Or you can just sleep in the other rooms. Super quiet neighborhood and great to just walk around. Also the neighborhood cat Freya was my kids favorite.

Charming neighborhood with easy access to downtown Seattle.

This home was great for our trip to Seattle. The Ballard and Loyal Heights area is absolutely charming. Gorgeous flowers in everyone’s yards and makes for lovely evening strolls. The Red Line to downtown is a few blocks away, so it was really easy to use public transport and avoid driving in downtown Seattle and finding parking. Groceries and restaurants are also walkable! Highly recommend this property to explore Seattle and it’s surrounding neighborhoods.

Beautiful home in perfect location

Great house, absolutely beautiful and sparkling clean. Plenty of towels, HOT water in the showers, washer and dryer. Kitchen well supplied for cooking, and gorgeous outdoor area to enjoy the cooler Seattle weather. Loyal Heights/Ballard is our fave area to stay. Easy 10 minute walk to Larsens - my favorite bakery of all time. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, a great park, and public transportation. Host was communicative and helpful. We would absolutely book again.
