Multi-Week Stay

We had a wonderful experience with this property and the owners. They were so attentive and helpful and the property was beautiful and became a real haven for us during our weeks in the area. Beautiful, many cool mornings with coffee in the comfortable furniture on the wrap-around porch. And a nightly tradition of pickleball on the property's court in the cool Pacific Northwest air. Could NOT have been happier with our experience.

Lovely Getaway!

Charming and comfy home with a nice mix of old and new. It rained during our stay but we didn't mind because it's a great place to relax, play games, and get a feel for country living. Breakfasts were quick and easy using the Keurig and waffle/omelet maker. I sat out on the veranda before sunrise and listened to owls while I sipped my morning coffee... very memorable! Nice location and friendly owners. We’ve already made our next reservation!

Awesome

What a great place. Welcomed by host who shared about property. Accommodations were wonderful. Kitchen was fully stocked with all things needed. Outdoor deck was a great place to relax. Our favorite was the sport court. We totally took advantage and played pickle ball. We would definitely stay again, wish we could have made our stay longer.

The total package!

This is all that the vrbo description says and more. The pictures on the sote are great but don’t do it justice. We spent 2 nights for Tgiving with our daughters and son in laws. The house sits on a knowle where the sun beams in every room especially the master. Even though the house is over 100 years old it has been updated to be very comfortable temperature wise, not drafty. I only wish we could have taken advantage of the sport court! It was way too cold to do that. We will be back! Thanks Jim! You went above and beyond!

This property was great. By far the best stocked VRBO I’ve ever seen. We didn’t have to pick up anything like dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. Jim was a great host.

Nicely Restored farmhouse

This is a gated home in a nice area of 1 to 5 acre ranchettes. Very secure and quiet. There is a stream and sport court on the wooded lot . The owner is still working on a few projects but they didn’t impact our enjoyment of the property.

Wonderful Bothell area property!

Wonderful Bothell area property! It’s a gorgeous home and a beautifully landscaped property in the Bothell area. It was an excellent location for us to visit family in Lynnwood! What’s the sets this place apart for me beyond just being an outstanding home and property, was the attention to detail by the owner! Great communication and a lot of details that are very nicely attended to! I would love to stay there again!

This was a beautiful house and was very well appointed; not lacking anything !!!

The house was immaculate and had all the cabinets filled with food, snacks and NP welcome basket; so nice and very thoughtful ! Loved the serenity of the house; waking up in a cozy bedroom along with a neigboring rooster crow each morning. Sweet plum trees on the property for an afternoon delight with a cold beverage overlooking woodlands, pickleball and basketball court. We were also 5 mins. from our daughters wedding venue (Maroni Meadows) and, therefore, the running back and forth was easy. We enjoyed our stay immensely and recommend the host family and property to othere guests with the greatest enthusiasms.

Fantastic

I have never given all 5’s prior to this property. The owner’s attention to detail is impressive and made for a great wedding weekend with family. The house and property is ideal to entertain or just relax and escape. We will look for a reason to go back.

Quiet paradise

This property is amazing. Beautiful house with lots of character. Stocked with more than you'll ever need. Jim was very gracious and allowed us to bring our granddaughter. She had a wonderful time playing in the creek and the huge yard. Jim went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. This will now be our "go to" rental for our Seattle trips.

Even Better than Pictured

The owner was very accommodating, even stocking the kitchen with goodies. Spacious and comfortable for outside and inside gatherings. The sportcourt was a great addition for fun with grandkids. This is the perfect spot if you are seeking a rural feel but in close proximity to everything Seattle offers.

This was a very nice house with an easy drive into Mill Creek Town Center with great shopping and stores. House was very comfortable with a great sitting porch to just enjoy the outdoors after a long day of sight-seeing. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and Relaxing Home

This was a wonderful home base to explore Seattle and surroundings. The host graciously stocked the fridge with food which was very welcoming and helpful. Because the kitchen was so well stocked, we ended up opting for home cooked meals. The kids enjoyed the sport court and mornings on the porch were wonderful! The owner was helpful and obviously took pride in offering us more than just his home, but a relaxing retreat. Will definitely return!

Absolutely perfect , would have given it 7 stars if I could.

An absolute gem, if you like peace, quiet and nature this is the place for you. Very well maintained, and Jim the owner goes above and beyond to make sure that all your needs are taken care of. We stayed in quite a few properties around the world, this one was the best by far.

Look no further

We can’t say enough about our experience with Jim and this stunning property. The house was immaculate, the grounds are beautiful and serene, and we had SO much fun playing pickleball with the family! We fell asleep to a chorus of frogs and woke up to the calls of neighboring roosters. I kept forgetting that we were so close to the city and traffic, because Creekside Retreat is just that… a retreat for the senses. We absolutely loved it and plan to return. HIGHLY recommend!
