Charming Secret Garden Cottage

This place was great to stay in. Was very quiet and the owners were very friendly. The place was clean and had a well equipped kitchen - the only thing lacking was a pair of scissors :). I would highly recommend it. We stayed there with my toddler daughter and while it wasn't childproofed by any means, there was a minimal amount of things that she could get into and cause trouble with.

i couldn’t be more pleased with our stay here. the owner was very accommodating, and allowed us to come into his place with only a couple hours’ notice. he checked in on us throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well. when it was time to leave, i locked my phone in the cottage by accident, and the entire family helped search through their spare keys to find it!

the cottage itself is very cozy. the downstairs living area is small, but has everything you would need, including a washer and dryer. the upstairs is very spacious, with beautiful lofted ceilings, and a large bathroom.

my family and i were very happy to stay here. the location is great, the house is great, and the people are great. we’ll be staying here again soon.

This cottage is cozy and while on the owners' home property, is separate from the main house. Eyal, the owner, is very nice and made sure I got there ok! There is a reserved space for cottage guests which is great so I didn't have to worry about finding parking. The cottage has a kitchen -- a big plus for me since I didn't want to spend tons of money going out to eat -- and the property is close to grocery stores. The property is also very close to shopping malls, hiking locations, and other activities (I spent some time at Bellevue Botanical Garden which was awesome!). Having wireless available in the cottage was also helpful for me since a major reason I went on my short retreat wad to get some writing done and was able to access my cloud drive.

Overall, my stay was very peaceful and I enjoyable, and I would stay there again if I have the chance! If you are looking to visit Seattle and the surrounding area, I highly recommend it.

Some other things to note about the cottage: there is a washing machine and dryer in the cottage; there is a dish washer, pots and pans, dishes, utensils, etc. in the kitchen; the bathroom has a shower but no bathtub (which was not an issue for me).

Nice place that is quiet, really nice neighborhood, beautiful area. Recommend for an escape from the city noise but still close to city.

The owners are very nice and the place was ok. The "cottage" is not well insulated and drafty. There are no curtains on the downstairs which would help and the curtains upstairs are more for looks than function. The "cottage" is in the trees and the walks were covered in pine needles and dog poop. There were several dog poop piles, some were moldy so not recent. We swept the entry every time we came in so as not to track pine needles everywhere. Also there is not cable television and none of the local stations actually come in. There is the ability to log into your own netflicks account which is what we did. There were just many things that could have been nicer without much effort. I would not say you shouldn't stay there but would not personally stay there again.
