Stay during UW graduation weekend

My golden retriever and I had a lovely stay at this Ballard cottage. My dog loved the fully fenced yard and I loved the well-appointed kitchen and other thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Would definitely stay again.

We truly enjoyed meeting you in the brief encounter outside of the home and getting to pet your sweet and goofy dog. We hope to host you again in the near future. K+N

Great place to stay in Ballard

The Ballard Farmhouse was the perfect place for my one week stay in Ballard. The house is conveniently located, generously sized and very well equipped. The big back yard feels like a private oasis. The hosts are right next door. They are welcoming and very responsive. I feel fortunate to have found such a great place to stay.

Scotty we enjoyed hosting you and are so happy you appreciate the size and amenities of the home. That large back yard is so wonderful in spring/summer/fall. Thank you for the wonderful maple syrup you gifted us, such a thoughtful gift and so yummy. Hope to host you again in the near future. K+N

Extended Stay at a Lovely Home!

Loved this cute little home for our 3 week trip to Seattle. I was working remotely, and enjoyed the use of the little upstairs office space. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and set up. Had all the amenities I would hope for in a rental and more. Home is in a great location walking distance to Ballard shops, not too far from Golden gardens. If we ever have another long trip to Seattle would hope to stay here again!

Erin we are so happy you enjoyed our happy home for 3 weeks. This location certainly can't be beat with everything one wants within close walking distance. The Ballard Farmers Market on Sunday is the BEST. We hope to host you again real soon.

The host thought of everything. The kitchen was fully stalked, down to the having single serve creamers in the refrigerator and plenty of tools to cook all meals at home. The bathroom and bedrooms were also fully stocked, with anything you could need. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Super convenient location to Ballard (walking distance) and I cannot say enough positive things about our host! The home is also dog friendly (and the hosts love dogs too!) with a fenced in backyard. We stayed in this home in transition between selling our house in Seattle and moving out of state. We lucked out with this absolute gem of a home during a very stressful period. If/when we return to the area, this is where we will stay.

Enjoyed my stay

Quiet location. Clean house. Numerous electrical outlets. Comfortable beds. Nice bathroom. Appreciated the coffee supplies and Washer/Dryer in the rental. The stairs were fairly steep and ackward at the top with a low ceiling, yet we 60-year-olds managed it. Plenty of room for luggage in the bedrooms. I know the house is marketed to allow pets and since I don’t have pets, I did notice a pet odor each time I entered the house. So if you love and/or bring your pets, this is a wonderful rental.

Well appointed classic Ballard home in great area

We had a very nice stay in Nicole's house, which is an original Ballard home that she has updated very tastefully. We were warm and comfy, and enjoyed being able to walk to all the great stuff in downtown Ballard. Bedrooms are upstairs and the sole bathroom is downstairs, and the stairs are fairly steep, which could be inconvenient for nighttime bathroom runs. We felt safe with the handrail and treads but something to consider if this affects you. My small dog was welcome and we enjoyed the fenced yard and the mudroom (very convenient for drying a wet dog).
