About this property

Northwest Retreat with Cedar Hot tub

Experience the city or the outdoors while retreating in this house within minutes to every Seattle landmark. Within 10 minutes you could be in downtown Seattle, hiking a forest trail, or taking a ferry ride across the Puget Sound.
Relax in the cedar hot tub, sip wine by the fire pit, and enjoy the huge fenced yard — your private Northwest getaway in the heart of the city.

The space
Cedar House, perched atop a hill in the Central District, is just a short walk from Capitol Hill. This expansive 1901 built 2,500 sqft home is ideal for a family retreat or a gathering with friends. The standout feature is the custom-built cedar hot tub, which comfortably accommodates up to 10 people.

Spacious Outdoor Retreat
Step outside into a lush, fenced garden — perfect for morning coffee, yoga, or evening cocktails under the stars. There’s plenty of room for outdoor dining, lawn games, or simply soaking in the serenity of this hilltop escape.

Custom Cedar Hot Tub
The star of the show — a handcrafted cedar hot tub that comfortably fits up to 10 guests. Sink into soothing warmth surrounded by fresh air and greenery — your own private spa experience in the heart of Seattle.

Inviting Living Spaces
Inside, unwind in the cozy living area with plush seating and natural light. It’s the perfect spot for movie nights, game chats, or planning the next day’s adventures.

Modern Kitchen & Dining
Enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances and all the essentials for home-cooked meals. Gather around the dining table for shared stories and local takeout feasts.

Restful Bedrooms
Three spacious bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, featuring comfortable beds, soft linens, and thoughtful touches to ensure everyone sleeps soundly.

Guest access
We have one driveway with 3 parking spots but it is a tandem driveway and all cars have to be tandem parked. If you don't want to drive, public transport is a 5 minute walk.

Other things to note
The house is old and we have tried our best to keep the original architecture with modern finishes. It is not a newer built home.

Any parties, disturbance to neighbors will result in immediate cancellation of the booking with no refunds.

Kitchen is amazing. Living room and dining room were great. Beautiful yard with fire pit. The stairs to 2nd and 3rd floor are VERY steep, so keep that in mind. It’s awesome that it has 4 bathrooms.

a city retreat

We had a wonderful stay here. It was indeed a retreat. We enjoyed the walkability of the neighborhood and access to all the city amenities. The cedar hottub was awesome! We didn’t get to use the sauna and the soaking tub but both were very enticing.

Beautiful house, so clean, so comfortable

My colleagues and I stayed at this property during a work trip. The house was just as pictured. It’s an older house that has been beautifully renovated. The beds were so comfortable, the living room was so comfortable and it has a really nice kitchen. We were in walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. Our host was really responsive when we needed anything or had questions. I highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
I downgraded due to the theft that occurred on the day when I checked out. I left currency in a white envelope hidden and according to the owner could not be located. The owner lacked any effort to check the location (waiting on his cleaning team to report the results of the search, I waited a week and contacted him on the status and then he informed me the envelope could not be found. In addition, several issues with cleanliness of the home, ice machine jammed, a ripped bath towel, no cleaning materials for bathtub after usage, teflon pan that was scratched, one plate was cracked, and the out door hand rails had wood splinters and the driveway is so small and cramped you can not fit a standard vehicle and no parking available in the front of the home. The area appears to be rundown streets are narrow due to cars parked on the street. Improvements are providing a step stool to reach kitchen items, dish rack for cleaning pots, Dish towels for washing the kitchen counters and a book of grocery stores and eating establishments.
