Fantastic find!

This house was perfect for our stay. It was centrally located to where we would be going. The backyard was beautiful and relaxing to hang out in. The amenities were well thought out and you could tell the hosts put a lot of effort into making sure guest are comfortable and have everything they need during thier stay. Will definitely look to stay here again if we need a place in Seattle in the future.

Great location

We loved our stay at this house. It is super clean and has lots of little extras to make up for the things I always forget. The location is perfect - it is easy to get everywhere. It is a beautiful neighborhood with nice neighbors. Let me say it again, it was so clean. Best pet friendly house I have stayed in. My husband said when we go back to Seattle we will only stay here.

Lovely Place and Property Manager

We’ve stayed at a bunch of VRBO rentals and this was by far the nicest (and we’ve paid close to $1,000 per night at other places lesser quality). The property managers are so wonderful as well. We stayed so we would be close to the airport and it was. Note that it wasn’t so close that you couldn’t sleep at night with all the noise. We never heard a thing.

We loved every minute at this beautiful home and yard! We stayed for a week with our small dog and it was perfect! I quickly adapted to a morning routine of soaking in the hot tub in the private yard with gorgeous flowers. Very close to the airport, yet a serene location. Gretchen is a very thoughtful host who has quite literally thought of everything you might need. Very well-equipped yet neat and tidy with well organized cabinets and lots of closet space. The beds and couches are very comfortable. Quick, easy drive to Seattle Waterfront. We parked at the Pike Place Parking garage each time at Gretchen’s recommendation. It was so nice to return home to our retreat and oasis at the end of the day. Excellent communication and very helpful host available to answer any questions you might have. We would most definitely stay here again when in Seattle. A top notch stay!

Incredible property! Friendly, helpful, responsive host. Immaculate home and property. Thoughtfulness and extras throughout the home. Wonderful fenced yard for pets. Truly everything you need to be comfortable and at home (including making any meals you’d like with the fully stocked kitchen). Cannot recommend this host & property enough.

Everything was as described and Gretchen was an amazing communicator. Our family was very busy because we were in town for a wedding and didn't get to spend that much time here as we would've liked. Nevertheless it was a wonderful home base for us, very comfortable, close to shopping and the airport. Ideal location. Thanks so much to our hosts. With aloha, your friends from Hawaii.

The Fern House was more beautiful than pictures can really capture. The owners were wonderful to work with and the house and back yard are literally worthy of a magazine!

Absolutely Beautiful!

This property blew our socks off! Well appointed, cozy, thoughtful design, and beautiful! The home is stunning! Our family loved all the games and activities available including the hot tub. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into their guests comfort, including the four legged kind (there was a basket of dog toys by the fireplace). The beds were comfortable and rooms were quiet. The gorgeous kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. We loved all the little details like the WiFi connection point and the labels on the light switches. My wife and I loved the decor, especially the bathroom! The back yard was large and had well established plants and a super soft lawn. The patio was so nice to relax on in the evening under the glow of the string lights. I can say more but there’s not enough time. We loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gretchen and Georg Diehl

Host profile image
We love to travel and we especially love to stay in a well cared for property. Georg and I have created a property that we would love to stay at. Beautiful rooms and a big family style kitchen to cook and entertain in. Georg is from Germany and he introduced me to traveling the world so if I can help someone coming to the Seattle Pacific Northwest area have a great home stay experience that makes me happy. I want Fern Haus to be a perfectly enjoyable spot for your stay.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is very old school! Lots of young families and families that have been here for years. You will see walkers out all day long. We are so conveniently located to almost anywhere in the Seattle area but you feel like you're home. SEA airport is nearby making it a quick trip to and from the airport.

What makes this property unique

Comfort, beautiful, zen-like, relaxing, calm this is what guests say about Fern Haus. I think we stand out because I've taken the time to make sure you have what you need for a comfortable stay with attention to every detail. We are not your everyday residence our home is super clean, well maintained and beautifully designed. You won't be disappointed!
