About this property
Colorful Cottage Close to Lake Washington
The cottage is very private, with a totally separate entrance and a small private yard with outdoor seating. There is off street parking for one car.
The entire cottage is yours!
There is a keypad entry system, so check in is very easy. I am available by phone, text or in person. If I happen to be traveling, my next door neighbor, who is delightful, steps in to look after my guests. If this is the case I will let you know in advance so you have her contact information. I love meeting people, but I respect the privacy of my guests.
The cottage is close to fantastic bars and restaurants, ethnic food places, a farmer's market, shops, an old-time movie theater, a natural market for great take-out, a bakery, and the shores of Lake Washington—all within a 10-minute walk.
The Link Light Rail is a 10-15 minute walk from the cottage and can whisk you to and from the airport, downtown, stadiums, Capitol Hill, and the University District. Buses run up and down Rainier Avenue for other destinations. Seattle also has UBER, Lyft, and cab service, and the cottage comes with a parking space. But lots of guest find that they don't need a car.

We thoroughly enjoyed the clean, efficient space. My wife and 14 year old grandson had plenty of room. We were all impressed by the wonderful shower and the proximity to the airport and our daughter's family who lived in the neighborhood. We could walk to parks and a relatively short drive to downtown. We will stay again when visiting family.

The house was comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was especially nice to be so close to the park and the lake. Molly was really good about reaching out to make sure everything was good and quick to respond to my messages to her. We'd gladly stay here again!

Just Right
My husband and I stayed here for nearly a week while visiting our son who lives nearby, and it was a perfect spot. The cottage is cozy and has everything needed, clean and comfortable, just the right kind of quirky! Lots of levels/steps within, which was totally fine for us but could be an issue for other guests. Well located within walking distance from coffee and breakfast spots, dedicated parking spot a bonus. Warm communications with hosts. We’ll be back!

Visiting my first great grandson
Just wanted yo mention the many steps within the cottage
I’m older and found the steps a challenge. Also we arrived late and could not find the cottage. Perhaps you should mention it is located behind the large house
Loved the decor and handy kitchen.
