About this property
Walk to Restaurants, or Minutes to City from Backyard Cottage
Perch on a stool at the breakfast bar under airy vaulted pine ceilings in this bright, cozy studio home. This modern backyard cottage is tucked away in a private setting, yet steps away from everything this hip neighborhood has to offer. Custom designed and hand-built by the hosts, this backyard cottage is a sanctuary in the city. After a day of exploring nearby beaches, beautiful parks, kayaking the sound or eating your way through the Farmer’s Market, come home and unwind on the private deck. Free street parking!
A short walk to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s.
Finished in 2016, this custom-built studio cottage is tucked away in a private setting. The 400 sq. ft. craftsman style space is thoughtfully designed to incorporate natural daylight through large windows and high pine wood cathedral ceilings. The tasteful, modern craftsman interior creates a cozy home away from home and offers all you need for an overnight or an extended stay.
Your fully equipped kitchen offers quartz countertops, a sink with Grohe faucet, petite 4-burner stove with oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, Nespresso coffee maker, and everything you need to prepare meals, if you prefer to eat in. You'll sleep comfortably in the comfortable king sized bed with and enjoy a full bathroom with a tiled shower/tub. A CB2 Flex Full-size Sleeper Sofa (rated best sleeper sofa by Apartment Therapy) can accommodate another guest.
Your cottage is set back from the street in our private backyard, atop our garage (not parked in, and rarely opened), surrounded by trees and a greenbelt behind our house. It is designed to be eco-friendly with SIP panels, LED lighting, heat pump water heater and radiant floor heating. Serene, healthy, and beautiful - and close to everything! It's perfect for out of town guests, vacationers, a staycation, or business travelers.
You have the benefit of a completely private space above our detached garage with full 24-hour access, free on-street parking, and a private entrance. There are 12 stairs from the driveway to the cottage, which is a second story unit. Fresh sheets and towels are provided for longer visits, upon request.
Privacy is all yours, though we're happy to help you with navigate our neighborhood and Seattle, and provide recommendations if desired.

About the host
Your host
We are eager to welcome you to our cottage and enjoy the benefits of meeting new people from near and far. We are Washington natives and college sweethearts, who have lived and traveled internationally--pushing 40 countries! Now, we reside in Seattle, working to better our world through an international child-focused relief organization, and engineering for improved energy efficiency of our natural resources. Our four children were both born to us and adopted from Ethiopia--they are a tremendous privilege to parent! We hope you will join us soon for an overnight stay or longer!
Why they chose this property
Come back to the most relaxing cottage after roaming the city or hiking nearby mountains. Your cottage is very close to hotspots like West Seattle’s own Alki Beach, a sandy Puget Sound beach with a walking/bike path, paddle boarding, canoes, and numerous eateries and coffeehouses, or beautifully wooded Lincoln Park with walking trails and huge native trees. Or zip downtown Seattle (10-15 minutes by car, 20 minutes by bus) to the take in the Waterfront, Pike Place Market, retail shopping, music venues, Seattle Center and the Space Needle, Washington State Convention Center, Starbucks headquarters, Seattle Art Museum and Pioneer Square art galleries, Safeco Field (baseball), CenturyLink Field (football), or a Washington State Ferry and much more.
The airport is <20 Minutes from the cottage by car. Light rail is also available to and from SeaTac airport with one bus transfer. We have plenty of free street parking on our street for a vehicle or rental car.
