Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We have lived in the Greater Seattle area for over 30 years, and both of us raised our families here. MarySue grew up in the Seattle area and John grew up in New York and relocated in 1973. John is a Management Consultant and MarySue manages our two vacation rentals in addition to handling all of the bookkeeping and being a Mom and Grandma. We love this area with its mountains and water views and recreational activities.
Why the Owner Chose Everett
We lived in a small house in the area and weren't planning to move for awhile, but when we drove up the winding, tree-lined drive to this beautiful tudor-style house on a park-like acre, we fell in love with it. At first we only used the studio apartment over the garage for family and guest visits, and after experiencing the benefits of VRBO on a trip to Hawaii, we decided to list it and have been very glad we made that decision.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
Our property has the benefit of being secluded and peaceful while being convenient to Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, and island destinations on Puget Sound.

The Seattle Woodland Retreat Guest House was very comfortable and private. I enjoyed it tremendously. It had all the comforts of home. I really enjoyed my stay. If and when I am back in the area, I’d look forward to staying again!

Our visit to Seattle in June of 2009 was wonderful and a big part of the positive visit was due to our excellent accomodations and considerate hosts. Little extras in the rental unit such as lots of convenient outlets for charging cell pone, camera, and portable DVD player; recessed lighting all around the room; nice TV with cable and DVD player; the wonderful heater in the bathroom for that shower in the morning; our own entry way, well lit, and easily accessed; comfortable bed with really nice linens; use of the washer and dryer just under the staricase; all these things made for a very special vacation. John and MarySue were extremely gracious and helpful without being overbearing. We will certainly schedule our next trip around the availability of their rental unit. Karen Druschke

We enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of your property. I love flowers, so the roses were a hit with me. It was so nice to come home from our days of visiting family in the city to your quiet, homey apartment.
