Perfect cottage for our short stay near UW

The cottage is very cozy. The bed was comfortable. Lots of greenery in the garden outside….feels like you are not in a city. Well stocked with everything you could possibly need! We were able to find parking close by.

Great location, with everything you need!

The location of this charming cottage couldn’t be better. Walk to bakeries and restaurants. On-street parking readily available, with a charming outdoor area. I have to especially give a shoutout to the kitchen, which had everything you’d need to make a meal, and the interesting, charming adornments around the rooms.

Seattle hideaway

Very cute, quaint, unique place to stay with interesting decor and a lovely view from the top of a hill. The kitchen is very well stocked and everything is clearly labeled. We really enjoyed the wood fireplace! Parking seems tricky at first, but there's actually plenty of street parking. Neighborhood is very walkable with lots of good restaurants and shops. We recommend a trip to the cat cafe!

I stayed here while visiting my UW student - it's just a short drive to campus - and it was nice to come back to such a quiet and peaceful retreat at the end of the day. There is a full kitchen in the cottage but also plenty of good food and coffee within walking distance. I appreciated the extra blankets since I like to sleep cold under a huge pile of blankets. Very clear instructions about location and access. Super cute and comfy!

really enjoyed my stay

I was extremely comfortable during my stay. The place was as mentioned and the patio was beautiful. The room was warm and the bed was comfortable. I love how the TV can slide out or nestle underneath the bar area. The only concerning thing is that you have to go up some worn stone steps and around the side yard to get there which may be a little precarious so I recommend using a phone flashlight at night. I hope to stay here again in the future!
