Unassuming on the outside but very nice on the inside. Well furnished and maintained. Ballard location was a nice quiet neighborhood out of main traffic routes but conveniently near some good choices for restaurants, grocery shopping and an excellent Danish bakery.

The property was fantastic with a lot of charm. It was well furnished and very comfortable for our long weekend stay in Seattle. The kitchen was well furnished and had all we needed to cook and make the stay very pleasant. It’s Seattle in the fall so we did not get to enjoy the back yard as much as we would have liked but it was a large backyard that would have been great for dinners or a glass of wine. Thanks for sharing your property with our family.

We had a great stay at this property. It was comfortable and very well appointed with everything we needed. The kitchen especially was terrific, with plenty of dishes, flatware, cookware etc. I needed to contact the host once during our trip and she answered promptly.

Property has a lot to do for kids, assortment of games great home layout, next to a few parks and minimal traffic to city center but outside of the bustle. Very walkable neighborhood. There were a few issues with the property but the hostess was easy to get in touch with and fixed things immediately. Highly recommend and would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
I am originally from CT and came to the PNW over 20 years ago via IN for college, then CO upon finishing grad school.
I love being a host because of all the interesting people and connections I've made along the way and I take pride in offering a positive experience for guests with the comforts of home.
I moved to the east side with husband Jon and my two stepsons, now in their teens. We all enjoy activities such as wake surfing, biking, crossfit, and currently a LOT of football games as both our kids play on different teams.

Why they chose this property

This house is nestled in an area that lends itself to family visits for weddings, births, graduations, and other special events. Ballard has a special vibe filled with a sense of community, and creativity.
This was my home for 10 years that I was proud to buy on my own after becoming a school principal just blocks away. I have many fond memories of talking to my former students in the park right next door and connecting with former families walking in the neighborhood while I was doing yardwork out front.

What makes this property unique

This house is quaint with a lot of character. Having a large backyard makes it a great place to relax on a nice day and the walkability is fantastic. I love that you can get to a coffee shop, a corner market, a restaurant, and more in just a few short blocks! Given the everchanging city life, I feel like this sunset hill area has maintained it's charm and family feel. I have amazing neighbors that help me out whenever needed and take care of each other.
