Very unique lodging and garden in the heart of Seattle! When local family visited us there, they offered to swap lodging for the night as they would have liked to stay at the Banana Cabana. Comfortable, cozy sitting area where we enjoyed listening to music on the record player. Despite being in the city, it was quiet at night. The kitchen was well appointed and the shower was great!The hostess was easy to work with and welcoming. We would stay there again.

The place was amazing! From the beautiful custom woodwork and adorable kitchen to all the thoughtful little details, it truly exuded love in every corner. The design was incredibly creative, and it was obvious how much thought and care went into every inch of the space. Cheers to the talented person who brought this unique and beautiful place to life!The only negative was that the bamboo blinds provided very little privacy at night. Once it was dark outside and the lights were on, we felt a bit like we were in a fishbowl. More privacy would have made the stay perfect. Other than that, we absolutely loved it!

Thank you for your review - we're glad you enjoyed your stay! The Cabana is in a secluded garden that is totally private. We take our guests privacy seriously and do not use our backyard when guests are staying. We have a black curtain between bedroom and front of house for total privacy in bedroom space and of course, there is a door to the bathroom.

We had another spectacular stay at the Banana Cabana. Alice is such a thoughtful host with incredible attention to detail. Everything you might need during your stay has been considered and provided with flourishes included. If we're lucky enough, we'll be returning for years to come. Thanks for everything!

We had such an amazing time at the Cozy Banana Cabana. I absolutely loved the soaking tub — I think I spent most of my time relaxing in that amazing tub. The heated floors were definitely a bonus to wake up to in the mornings. Alice and her family were incredible; their hospitality went above and beyond. The secluded garden was so calm and peaceful, the perfect place to unwind after long days of sightseeing in Seattle. It was exactly what we needed before heading off on our Alaska adventure. Highly recommed!!

Great location and clean and fun property. Only odd part was that you were right in someone's back yard and the window coverings were inadequate so it felt like you could be watched all of the time and had to get dressed in the bathroom. Perhaps some drapes would help for privacy

Awesome little cabana! The heated floors are wonderful and the vibe and decor are on point. The communication provided was very helpful without feeling overbearing. We stayed in the winter, but I'd love to go back in the summer to see the yard in its full splendor.
