About this property

Contemporary Log Guesthouse with Sauna: Historic North End - Perfect for Couples

The Wooden House is a spacious almost 900 square foot urban retreat in the heart of the North End. This getaway is a perfect balance of industrial and cozy warmth. Walk, scooter, or Uber to Hyde Park and downtown from this quiet hideaway. In the warmer months, open the bay door to let the outside in. When it’s cooler the radiant floor heat will keep your toes toasty and when it gets warmer, you can cool down with the a/c. If you want more heat, turn the sauna on and have a sweat. Extra large bedroom with comfortable queen bed and additional lounge space on 2nd floor. Please note that because we share the backyard space & we have a dog, we cannot accept bookings from those with service animals. We, for security reasons, have two outdoor cameras at each entry. We are designers…and this is a special place that we have put love & care into. It’s not a generic house managed by a big property management company. You’ll see like so many of our past guests. Looking forward to hosting you!

Great location close to mountain biking, Hyde Park coffee/bars/restaurants, downtown, and the North End family and friends we came to visit. This guesthouse is quiet, charming, well-appointed and comes with a visit from Vera, the sweetest pup in the neighborhood. Highly recommend if you're looking for a private oasis in the heart of the North End.

We had an amazing time staying at The Wooden House! Derek and Danielle were excellent hosts, and they have done an outstanding job designing each aspect of this home including each room, furniture, decor, etc. Our favorite design element was the skylight window with a fantastic view of their pine tree. Also, the neighborhood was super nice and a close walk to several great restaurants on 13th street that had us covered at any time for any meal. We’d definitely recommend staying here, and look forward to our next visit!
