We feel very fortunate to have found this home to stay in for a family wedding on Mercer Island. The proximity to I-90 and downtown Seattle allowed for easy access to the wedding in addition to being able to take in a game T Mobile Park. The home has nice finishes and is very comfortable. We took advantage of the backyard grill and well supplied kitchen. Even with that, we were able to walk to a restaurant in the neighborhood just 5 minutes away. Communication with the host was easy. We would definitely stay again.

Warm, cozy and comfortable. With ample room for family. Basically, a full working kitchen unlike any I've found in other vacation homes. It's become our second home when we visit our son and daughter in law in Seattle. Craig is a stellar host. I highly, highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning home, the hosts were wonderful at providing a place, that was thought out well, they had everything that you may need to accommodate a family. The house is in a great neighborhood, definitely family friendly. We were able to walk down to some restaurants and back to the house. Definitely a convenient location for driving to places like Pike’s or a stadium game. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Stayed here for Seafair. Beautiful house. Great location.

We had some bobbles in logistics with our trip and the host was super accommodating as we had to flip our trip around due to unexpected family issues. The house is quite large and well appointed. The beds are cozy. It is a great place to stay with extended family. Would stay here again for Seafair.
