Attentive Host, Very Cute

This property had an extremely well stocked kitchen. The firepit area was very appealing. Great place to stay. Very quiet neighborhood, but close to necessities.

Great Place for Family Away from Everything

Nice place away from the city but still only 5 minutes away from Safeway. Loved the location and interior. The creek was nice to venture out to. Loved having kid friendly dishes/cups. One minor complaint would be the upstairs nose is very noticeable especially in the early mornings. I'm sure it was not intentional but probably just the way the home was built.

Hockey tournament

We were in Seattle for a hockey tournament. We stayed with our family and one dog - what a great property! A perfect set up with the dog, we bbq’d, sat in the backyard with the firepit, walked along the creek and slept amazingly! Thanks so much for the great experience!
