We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Excellent location for visiting friends in Phinney Ridge and taking quick trips into Ballard and downtown Seattle. The pictures and description are exactly as stated. It was very helpful to have the washer and dryer in the unit as well. Highly recommend.

Terrific summer stay

Really excellent property and the hosts were communicative but unobtrusive. I felt safe and it was quiet while at the same time being ideally located for activities throughout Seattle— would highly recommend if you come in town for a woodland park zoo show as it’s a piece of cake to walk to the entrance even carrying chairs and blankets.

Very clean and convenient space for us (a family of 4).

The owners clearly communicated how to access the property. the space was great, and we were happy to have the opportunity to do laundry. Good location near the zoo and close to Aurora.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at Phinney Ridge! Karleen was extremely helpful and easy to reach. The house was spotless, and also very conveniently nearby to a ton of restaurants and other food options. We also found it pretty easy to walk to the nearby bus stop and use the public transit. We would highly recommend staying there if you’re in the Seattle area!

High Quality Option

New construction efficient layout made for a comfortable stay. Wish the bathroom was on the same level as the bedroom but you can't have it all! Would stay there again.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 28, 2020
Thank you for the great review! We too wish we could have it all! The city of Seattle would only permit a specific foot print square footage for our backyard cottage. So unfortunately we had to make layout decisions. Our thought was having the bathroom/laundry downstairs gave privacy in a small space. Definitely not convenient or desirable for everyone. Although, we added stair lights in hopes for making nighttime trips easier. Again, thanks for making mention as it helps other travelers decide if this space will work for their adventure to the Emerald City!

Very Relaxing....

Karleen and Mark have a gorgeous little cottage in a perfect location close to down town and the zoo. The cottage was perfect, quite and very clean and organized. When my wife and I saw the knives lined up in the drawer, we knew this was the place to stay. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thx Karleen and Mark.

Beautiful new and spotless unit where every detail has been looked after. An ideal location for exploring Seattle and environs. Karleen is the perfect host and it’s clear she wants the very best for her guests. She’s always available for recommending tours and things to do in the area. Needless to say, we’d like to come back for a return visit.
