Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Clean and updated quaint cottage wedged in between Green Lake, Woodland Zoo, and Phinney Ridge. This is an ideal place if you are looking for a place to enjoy walks around the lake and quickly moving in between the Green Lake neighborhood, Phinney, Fremont, and Ballard. This is an ideal place for two coupled adults, a family of four, or if you're looking to work remotely with access to a one gig fiber line. Due to the unit’s location next to a main avenue, there may be potential street noise.

Clean but noisy due to back bedroom windows open to highway. The shower was difficult to operate due to my short height and arthritic hands. There should be a plastic mat inside the tub for safety. One can easily slip. I asked for late checkout early and told that cleaners were going to clean at 10 am. Stayed parked in front of cottage till 11:40 and no cleaners showed up to clean. The front yard very unkept. Should have the lawn mowed to look upkept.

Perfect dog friendly vacation

Charming one bedroom unit walking distance from a huge park and a delicious coffee shop. I drove my two golden retrievers to visit friends in the area and this was the perfect home base for our stay.Easy instructions to access the property and a great local guide was provided when I checked in for details about close points of interest

Super Clean but Horrendously Loud

We booked this based on proximity of family and the Woodland Park Zoo. House is represented nicely on the website. However, Highway 99/Aurora Ave is quite literally in the backyard and traffic noise is 24 hours a day and horrendously loud. The house itself is comfortable and clean.

Wonderful location for Green Lake access

I greatly enjoyed the month I spent at this property. My dogs and I walked to the Woodland dog park everyday across the bridges. The unit was well equipped and clean. The traffic noise is a bit loud but that comes with city living I suppose and the owners did provide ear plugs. I highly recommend this rental.

Awful experience. Avoid!I put my credit card in for the deposit on the third party platform for payments which went fine, and assumed I would be charged automatically for the stay. The host messaged me the night before my stay and said I had one hour to pay or else and that I needed to submit a “professional selfie” even though I had already put a selfie in the payment platform.I get to the house and it is not a “quaint” place ideal for working remotely as advertised—it is right on the freeway and the office/bedroom measured 80 decibels which is VERY loud. I left after one night of a one month stay but the host would not refund me.Host communication was poor—they never answered phone calls and their communication through the VRBO app was terse and unhelpful.

The property was easy to find, pleasant appearance from ou, and parking was easy. The interior was clean and the kitchen was modern. It took a little while to warm up the baseboard heating because it was a cold night. But we were comfortable.

Green Lake cottage

House is an older home,darling and the right size for only one or two. The heating is individual (older electric space heaters) so rooms are hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. No heating for kitchen area which was uncomfortable. Located next to a busy freeway(in back of home) be prepared for noise at night and early morning commuters to city. Overall, it’s a safe, decent location to Green Lake, and walking distance to good restaurants. Wish the manager would’ve been more flexible with a late check out.

This was a tremendously disappointing stay. We moved in with two dogs, including an 8 week old puppy, hoping this would be a refuge between a number of cross state moves, health issues, and new employment. Between the construction happening, the lack of basic household goods, the rundown aspect of the house in general (holes in the walls, exposed electrical from defunct HVAC equipment, peeling paint etc) and the extreme proximity to a very loud highway we were pretty on edge over the first week but were willing to stick it out because of the logistical pain of moving. However a week into our stay we were treated to the absolutely disgusting experience of someone power washing the house with unsealed windows and doors, spewing a misty stream of filthy water all over the living room, entrance vestibule, and bathroom hallway. We were forced to move out of the Vrbo completely, received no compensation or consideration from the host, and were forced to go 12 rounds with VRBO support before receiving a refund for the remaining days on our reservation. In short, A for VRBO support finally figuring out the gravity of the situation and F- for this host.
