Great stay!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week and we loved it! It is perfect for two people and not too far from anything. The owners were very nice and were very good about communication. I certainly recommend this to anyone! Thanks to the owners!

Enjoyable stay!

Yeon and Javier were amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and checked in to make sure we were all set. The adorable cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!

Exceptional Seattle stay

A really wonderful quiet getaway from the city. Gracious host who communicated very well and made checking in and checking out a breeze. A well appointed cottage very close to Ballard and walking distance to the waterfront. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a little slice of Seattle.

Magical Stay in Seattle

The Sunset cottage location was perfect for me. Just a short walk from Sunset Hill Park. I walked to the park every morning and evening. It was a very quiet neighborhood. The area was so beautiful with flowering trees and bushes. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. I felt genuinely welcomed. I found excellent bus connections to Ballard, downtown and Northgate--all the same bus. I'm planning on making it a yearly visit.

A lovely quiet cottage in a gorgeous Seattle neighborhood, walking distance to the beach. Convenient to everything. The bed was insanely comfortable, and the kitchen, well-appointed. I can’t rave enough about this place!

Clean, Cute, Comfortable and Convenient

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Quiet neighborhood stay

The sunset hill guest house is just blocks from the park which has spectacular sunsets. The family neighborhood is quiet but close to coffee shops and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. Easy street parking and friendly hosts. Be sure to catch the Ballard farmers market on Sunday mornings!

Cute and comfortable cottage in Sunset Hill

Located in a very cute neighborhood, this place was very clean and comfortable. There was a smart TV, good cookware, and washer/dryer. There’s a very helpful booklet of neighborhood eats. I only wish there was a full length mirror and a rod to hang clothes on. There are coat hangers/racks but it is not the same. It is nestled in a very cute yard. Check in was easy. Couldn’t ask for a better stay in Seattle. Highly recommend.

Great stay

We enjoyed the guest house and neighborhood a lot. Parking was always available. Space was clean. The ability to do laundry was appreciated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful. The house book also provided things to do and food recs. Would stay here again. I think the only thing the property could benefit from would be a full length mirror.

Super cute & perfect location

I booked this for my parents to stay while visiting us in seattle. It is not only super cute but also a wonderful location. The hosts are also very helpful and kind. We ended up having several visits to the hospital unexpectedly and the home a perfect spot for them to relax and recover. Can’t say enough great things about it and would highly recommend.

Wonderful!

My husband and I stayed at the Ballard Sunset Hill Guest House for 2 nights during our anniversary trip. The home was exactly as described and perfect for us! The hosts were incredibly friendly and we enjoyed chatting with them. They were happy to provide recommendations to us, which we took and were very happy with! They also provide a guide when staying that has tons of helpful information including hand drawn maps of neighborhoods around the area. We had a lovely time!
