Welcome to your Seattle getaway!
Tucked away in the heart of Bryant, this cheerful 2BR, 1.5BA cottage combines privacy, comfort, and unbeatable walkability. You’ll be just steps from PCC, Met Market, Magnuson Park, and the Burke-Gilman Trail, with University Village shops and restaurants, UW, and Seattle Children’s close by. The Bryant neighborhood is family- and dog-friendly, with parks and trails all around.

This detached cottage in Seattle’s Bryant neighborhood offers privacy, comfort, and walkability with its own private path and stone steps leading up to the entrance. A sturdy handrail adds security, while beautiful landscaping and a fully fenced yard create a sense of seclusion. Start your day with coffee on the front porch and end it with dinner or wine under the string lights on the back patio.

The cottage can sleep up to six guests. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath: the master with a queen bed and blackout shades, and a second bedroom with twin bunk beds. A comfy queen-size sleeper sofa is downstairs along with a half bath. The living room features Roku TV and plenty of seating, while the kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals and includes a dining area. A pack and play is available upon request.

Modern conveniences include air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, and an upstairs laundry with full-size washer and dryer plus complimentary detergent. Essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and fresh linens are provided.

🐾 Dog Friendly: Well-behaved dogs are welcome (sorry, no other pets). The fenced yard makes this home an easy choice for families traveling with pets.

We loved our stay at Bryant Cottage. So nice to meet Matt & Sara, they stayed in close contact with us for our every need. The closed in yard was especially convenient since we travel with our service dog. The kitchen looked brand new and had everything I needed to prepare a fabulous dinner for our friends who live nearby.The cottage had the most exquisite linens I've ever slept in. That is very important to me! The privacy and quiet neighborhood felt like a retreat. Thank you Your happy guests :)

This home was so Cute. From the cottage like walkway, to the cute little yard. The home had one half bath downstairs which was amazing for our kids. (No runnong up and down stairs to potty) The beds were comfortable. My girls loved there bunk beds. The yard was the perfect size for Dogs (big or small) and for ypung children. They made it homey by welcoming us with a cute sign. Matt answered all my questions while there promptly anf helpful. Some reason my dogs werent on the reservation, but he updated it and we were good to go. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back.
