About this property

Earl Carriage House: Upscale & Private Guest House

The Earl Carriage House is a charming, two-story cottage, tucked away behind our home, offering plenty of space for a couple. While technically it is considered a “backyard cottage,” it is accessed without ever entering our yard or shared spaces. You will have total privacy. You'll also have dedicated off-street parking in the driveway in front of the Carriage House.

The open layout downstairs features a comfortable living area with ample seating, a charming electric stove, cable TV with streaming options, and a dining area adjacent to a fully equipped kitchen, complete with full-size stainless steel appliances. All-Clad cookware and a selection of regional cookbooks will inspire your culinary adventures. On Sundays, don't miss the nearby Ballard Farmers Market for the freshest ingredients.

Upstairs, you'll find a cozy bedroom and spacious tiled bathroom with laundry facilities. Relax in the queen-sized bed while gazing up through the skylight overhead. The stunning quartersawn oak antique doors salvaged from Seattle's Palladian Hotel add to the ambiance.

We take your comfort seriously and have provided a Simmons Beautyrest mattress with luxurious cotton linens, embroidered robes, slippers and a curated collection of feather pillows encased in hypoallergenic covers.

For entertainment, we have assorted board games, a lending library, a TV with cable, Netflix, and streaming options, reliable Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth speaker. Complimentary coffee, tea, and assorted cereal bars are provided.

What really sets The Earl Carriage House apart is our commitment to hospitality. We take pride in providing exceptional service to our guests, and it shows in our glowing reviews. Whether you need recommendations for local attractions, help with a reservation, or just a friendly chat, we're always here to help.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia McFadin

Host profile image
Hello! It's nice to meet you. I love hosting and meeting wonderful people from all over the world. My "real" job is running my fundraising event consulting business from home and raising my young child alongside my wonderful husband, Brian. We have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and think it is pretty much the most beautiful place in the world. We love to travel, but haven't been able to do it as much since our son was born, so now we bring the world to us by hosting travelers on our property.

As a family, we love to travel, cook delicious vegetarian food, and spend time with our extended family who also live in the Pacific Northwest. I am an avid crafter, DIYer and semi-expert knitter. At any given time, our house is covered in fabric, glue, wood scraps and pretty much anything that can be used to create pretty things.

When our family travels, we choose to stay in clean, comfortable, and well designed spaces and - in turn - we strive to bring these qualities to our guests. I fancy myself as a real innkeeper and take my job as a host seriously. I want to make sure you have a wonderful trip and be certain that you have everything you need to relax and settle in, including giving you your privacy. Of course, I am always more then happy to give recommendations and tips whenever requested.

Why they chose this property

Designing and building the carriage house has been a labor of love for us. We have paid special attention to every detail to ensure our guests have a comfortable and relaxing stay. We think you will love the neighborhood as much as we do... it is quiet, yet close to all the excitement of the city.

What makes this property unique

We think you'll really love the privacy the Carriage House offers, but we are usually nearby if you should need anything or just want a tip on somewhere great to eat, see live music or just about anything else you're interested in.
