The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need, including a Breville espresso machine, Keurig, French press, and standard drip coffee maker (we do like our coffee in Seattle!).

What a wonderful house to let our extended family enjoy a UW graduation. Downtown area is walkable and the view of the lake sublime. The guest house was perfect for family needing privacy. The backyard with the games and bunnies was great. The back patio to grill and eat was so nice. Great owners that ensured all was perfect.

Everything about the home, the location and the experience was top notch. The host is great at communication, the house was very cool and the location with the marina down the street was perfect.
This Kirkland house was perfect. It’s a short walk to a wide range of restaurants. Travel into downtown Seattle was easy. We loved everything about the house.
Wonderful property in the heart of Kirkland walking distance to great restaurants , cafes and bars. Great views of lake Washington, comfortable beds, and a terrific outdoor living space! We loved our stay!

Property was great and owners were amazing.
I will stay in this property again when I come to Kirkland.
The property was in a safe andquiet neighborhood. It was very clean and comfortable. Our teenager had a great time in the guest house/casita. 100% would come back.
Great cozy and clean getaway property would highly recommend. Super prepared for families, private casita was really awesome for our son and daughter in law. Very walkable into downtown Kirkland and water. Communication with owner was fast and effective.
We had a lovely stay. There is everything you need to be comfortable and feel at home. The neighborhood is very convenient for walking to shops and restaurants!
Very happy with the property and neighborhood. We had a multi generational family group, and everyone loved the house. We walked to dinner and the park, and downtown Kirkland.Thank you!
