About this property

Rooftop Aerie - Amazing views, private, immaculate and comfortable home

Location – Rooftop Aerie is located near Woodinville.

- Home is exclusively used as a vacation guest house (no parties or events permitted).

- KING sized beds in master and second bedroom

- Want to know the distance from the home to anywhere? Just use Google maps and search for "Rooftop Aerie".

- We deliberately offer a lower base rate so that guests of one or two people can also book the house. Therefore we charge an additional fee for more than 2 guests.

- We charge the "host fee" to cover part of the cost of cleaning. We actually pay our amazing housekeeper $200each time to clean and prepare the house. She does an impeccable job. We pay her a minimum of $200 regardless of the length of stay or number of people.

- Our property is rural. We have horses, a mini donkey, and chickens. Also... wild birds, tons of hummingbirds, and from the rooftop patio you can often see red hawks and eagles, and even an occasional owl in the evening. We also have a lot of deer and some wild bunnies. We also have security cameras in outdoor areas to ensure the safety of our guests. Audio is not enabled near the rooftop aerie and footage is solely for security and safety purposes to ensure the privacy of our guests is respected.

- No pets of any kind. Feel free to pet ours. Our well-trained, people-friendly (especially loves kids) border collie is off-leash within our property. This is her job. She is a great outdoor patrol, keeping unwanted animals away. We cannot have her interacting with guest dogs at any time for any reason.

- DO NOT choose to book this home if you intend to have an event/party, bring an animal of any kind, or invite unregistered guests to stay.

We strive to be respectful and honorable hosts. Please be respectful and honorable guests. :-)

• Excellent quality king beds in the master and second bedrooms. Queen bed and twin bed with in trundle third bedroom.

Best place, best location, best host dog ever

We stayed a week at the Rooftop Aerie, and we were glad every day to be there. The view, the beauty of the house and grounds, the friendliness of the dogs and the generosity of the hosts are only the highest points of a billion high points we had in a week. I actually cried the morning we left; I just didn't want to go. And kudos to Susan and John for being such good hosts in an area of super-high demand where hosts can be, shall we say, cranky. Susan and John are the opposite of cranky. They are wonderful.

Exceptional getaway stay!

This place was such an amazing first time stay in Washington! I could not have picked a better place. Susan and John were very sweet and attentive if we needed anything! We also could not get enough of Sparrow and her sweet smile. Overall, the Rooftop Aerie had such a nice view of the mountains and we enjoyed the peace and quiet in the area. The inside of the house is even more clean and well-organized. We really enjoyed and loved staying here. 10/10 would book again!

Beautiful and quiet

My son and I enjoyed the home very much! My brother lives nearby so it was very convenient to visit with him.He suffered a stroke a few years ago and has aphasia. He lives with my nephew, his son, and so my brother is alone for much of the time. I hope to visit with him again in the future and will definitely secure the use of Rooftop Aerie!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Sparks and John Anderson

John and Susan love the Pacific Northwest. Where else can you mountain bike, kayak, run trails, ride horses, golf, and fish all within 20 minutes of where you live? John grew up in the Tri-Cities. After leaving the Army, he moved to this area to pursue degrees in computer engineering and business. Susan grew up in a tiny town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of northern California. She moved up to Snohomish County after earning her graduate degree in speech pathology. She is fortunate to work in pediatrics as a home care therapist. Although John commutes to Microsoft every day, they still spend lots of time outdoors, either working on the property or just enjoying this unique part of the country.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to live close enough to Bellevue and Seattle for John to pursue his career in computer science. Yet we have horses and dogs and so needed a large piece of land. We also needed two houses so that my parents could live on the property with us. We also wanted room to garden. And, we wanted privacy and trees. Oh, and enough space so that we could bike and horseback ride without having to drive anywhere. Knowing that it would be almost impossible to find all of this in one property, we were stunned when we found Rooftop Aerie. It was perfect. And the view took our breath away! Over the years, family and friends have shared some of the most important events of their life here. So, in 2016, the Rooftop was completely remodeled in order to offer it as a wedding venue. However, due to a number of factors, we chose instead to create a unique, private, spacious vacation retreat. We want to share this spectacular property with others and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Rooftop Aerie feels like a mountain retreat and yet it is close enough to the city to allow you to take advantage of all of the events and amenities that the area has to offer.

We have horses, dogs, cats, and a mini donkey living on the property. Visiting wildlife include: many deer, wild rabbits, eagles, hawks, owls, a bobcat, a cougar (neighbors post sightings) and a local bear (but the property is fenced, so the bear is only spotted outside the perimeter :) We also have, of course, many honey bees, hummingbirds, and wild birds. Please know that this IS a farming community, so you can hear duck, sheep and chickens in the early morning.
