About the host

Hosted by MarySue Brooks

Host profile image
We have lived in the Greater Seattle area for over 30 years, and both of us raised our families here. MarySue grew up in the Seattle area and John grew up in New York and relocated in 1973. John is a Management Consultant and MarySue manages our two vacation rentals in addition to handling all of the bookkeeping and being a Mom and Grandma. We love this area with its mountains and water views and recreational activities.

Why they chose this property

We lived in a small house in the area and weren't planning to move for awhile, but when we drove up the winding, tree-lined drive to this beautiful tudor-style house on a park-like acre, we fell in love with it. At first we only used the studio apartment over the garage for family and guest visits, and after experiencing the benefits of VRBO on a trip to Hawaii, we decided to list it and have been very glad we made that decision.

What makes this property unique

Our property has the benefit of being secluded and peaceful while being convenient to Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, and island destinations on Puget Sound.
