We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay!! All the creature comforts of home away from home. The house was super clean, lots of options for shopping, dining and sightseeing within minutes of the house. The owners are close by and readily available by text should you have any questions. We plan on visiting every year and hope to make this our regular stay.

We loved Happy Valley House

We went to a wedding in Ballard and this was the perfect place to stay. The owners were very accomodating and the house itself had so much to offer. Our stay will be a part of fond memories for years to come.

From the Owner: "We're pleased to be part of your memories. Thanks for the nice comments! Note to other readers: our place is a perfect place for weddings down at Golden Gardens, a lovely place for a wedding with the backdrop of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains. Our house is literally a minute's drive from the beach (a 20-minute walk down steep stairs), and our back patio can accommodate groups of 20-25."

Nice stay at a quaint house.

Jon was very good at communicating details before and during our stay, which we appreciated. This ended up being a better location than we first thought - once we discovered the 17 bus stopped at a nearby corner and helped with the commute to the downtown area. Be prepared for stairs - we knew there were stairs from the pictures and description, but didn't realize there were quite so many to get into the house!
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug, 2025
From the owner: "We're glad the location worked out better than you thought! We do try and communicate lots of details, etc., as that is how we like to be treated when traveling. Plus, if we didn't send out information beforehand, many of our guests would get lost finding our place, as it can be a little tricky (we can't tell you how many Uber drivers have gotten lost!). I guess we need to make clear that there are bus lines close by—there are several bus lines within a 5-block walk. And yes, for those reading this, we do have a number of stairs, but we do hope you'll find it's worth it! We do hope you'll consider staying with us whenever you are in Seattle."

Enjoyable getaway

My son, daughter-in-law, their 14 month old toddler and I stayed at this lovely home. It was very comfortable and everything was provided for our needs. It did take a little bit of baby proofing for a one-year-old on the move, but it was well worth it. it was close to everything we wanted to do, including a trip to the zoo

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Aug, 2025
Hi Todd,Thanks so much for the 5 stars! 😊 We agree the stove is small and replacing it was on our original to-do list—but it turns out this type (left handed, drop in, downdraft) isn’t made anymore, and swapping it would mean major kitchen reconstruction. A few chefs have told us it’s actually great quality, so for now it’s our little retro workhorse. We truly appreciate your understanding and your kind words! And we do try and make up for it with lots of other fun amenities and features!JonHappyValleyHouse.us

Really Fun Place!

This was our second time staying at Happy Valley, and it was just as great as the first time! Jon & Kara are very responsive hosts, and try their best to think of all the little things that go into making a great experience for their guests. We loved having a nice outdoor area and plenty of room to stretch out inside as well. This is not a cookie-cutter hotel type of place; instead, it is a house filled with color, creative personality, nice furnishings and a sense of humor. It is a very special place!

Glad to hear the second time was as good as the first. Also, thanks so much for the tips on things that we might not have thought of - look for a bigger coffee pot on your next stay (and a colander)!"
