About this property

Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Clean and updated quaint cottage wedged in between Green Lake, Woodland Zoo, and Phinney Ridge. This is an ideal place if you are looking for a place to enjoy walks around the lake and quickly moving in between the Green Lake neighborhood, Phinney, Fremont, and Ballard. This is an ideal place for two coupled adults, a family of four, or if you're looking to work remotely with access to a one gig fiber line. Due to the unit’s location next to a main avenue, there may be potential street noise.

Property was located immediately adjacent to a very busy highway. Despite the availability of on-site parking, I was told to park on the street. Vince was very organized, but when questioned about the parking, he was dismissive.

The place worked well for what we needed however the listing did not mention there was another unit downstairs and that the laundry was shared. I was there on business so it wasn’t really a problem for us but it could be for other people. Location was great.

It’s a convenient location, but that does mean that there is a lot of road noise. Bathroom was a little challenging, claw foot tubs, while pretty, are a little inconvenient and I left most of my products in the kitchen for convenience. I found the WiFi sluggish but tolerable. Overall, enjoyed the location, communication was good and would consider staying again.

Great little house to stay at if you don't mind the 99 noise. My wife and I are use to background noise like that. The location is what sells it. Easy to get to anywhere in the North Seattle area, and taking the dogs on a walk around the neighborhood that's full of charm. The house has a great sized kitchen and bathroom and a comfy couch in the living room. The bed was nothing special but it was very clean.We didn't use the filtered water because we noticed it needed to be cleaned. Other than that, it was a good experience

This property worked perfectly for our family with a small infant and two small dogs. The place has some character but is very clean and is in a great neighbourhood that felt much safer than others closer to downtown Seattle. The unit gets a little warm when it’s hot out but two large fans are provided which helped a ton. Comfortable, cozy, convenient, and Vince is an organized host, so much so that we didn’t need to contact him at all. Overall, as a party with very specific needs, this was a great option for our family. Highly recommend if you are traveling with young ones or small dogs.

The location was super convenient for exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. It had everything I needed and was very cozy. While it was close to the freeway, you could barely notice it while inside. I would definitely recommend this home for someone who wanted to get a feel for life in Seattle!

Perfect dog friendly vacation

Charming one bedroom unit walking distance from a huge park and a delicious coffee shop. I drove my two golden retrievers to visit friends in the area and this was the perfect home base for our stay.Easy instructions to access the property and a great local guide was provided when I checked in for details about close points of interest

Clean but noisy due to back bedroom windows open to highway. The shower was difficult to operate due to my short height and arthritic hands. There should be a plastic mat inside the tub for safety. One can easily slip. I asked for late checkout early and told that cleaners were going to clean at 10 am. Stayed parked in front of cottage till 11:40 and no cleaners showed up to clean. The front yard very unkept. Should have the lawn mowed to look upkept.
