About this property

The quiet and cozy Captain’s Cottage is an homage to the unique history of Ballard, where a large population of Scandinavians worked in the boat building industry at the turn of the 20th century. Inside showcases many treasures from the Captain’s seafaring travels. The house is situated on a corner lot with a front and back yard, where one can sit under the shade of fruit trees or take a walk to explore the neighborhood full of great restaurants, cafes and breweries with outdoor seating.

Everything we needed

The Captain's Cottage was perfect for our mother-daughter visit to Seattle. We loved being in a quiet neighborhood with easy parking and in/out access. The house is tiny but had every amenity we could have hoped for.

Quiet and restful

This was a lovely place to rest and decompress, yet close to bus lines that took me right into downtown. I can’t think of anything that was missing. Do stay here; you’ll like it.

Excellent vacation for Seattle area fun.

This was our second stay at the Captains Cottage at Christmas time. small house, but warm and inviting. In the Woodland neighborhood within walking distance of Ballard central amenities and the brewery district (and our grandson!). Only a few blocks to the express bus stop to get down Town Seattle. I would bet it’s every bit as great in the summer when you can hangout in the front yard and watch the world go by! The hosts were very accommodating and kept a tidy and unique property.

Why they chose this property

The Captain's Cottage is an homage to a bygone era and the local history of Ballard. With the Captain as my muse, I enjoyed curating the space with a subtle vintage nautical theme.

What makes this property unique

With a high walk and transit score and a unique history, this quiet location in central Ballard is the perfect place from which to visit Seattle, the nearby mountain ranges and explore the Salish Sea.
