New Stand Alone Private Backyard Cottage - A/C, Blocks to Zoo, Bus Line, Coffee

New May 2017 Classic Seattle Craftsman Backyard Cottage, nestled in a quiet private setting, at the SW corner of vibrant Phinney Ridge. The natural light filled cottage with exposed beam has an inviting open upper floor plan with high ceilings and large windows. This is a stand alone house with no occupants above or below you.

Stroll to shopping and dining, coffee, grocery stores, Woodland Park Zoo and the Rose Garden. Perfectly situated between Wallingford, Greenlake, Fremont and Ballard. Enjoy the Ballard Locks and Brewery District, Golden Gardens, Fremont Troll, and Greenlake’s 2.8 mile path around lake with beaches, wading pool, children’s play area’s and public boat rentals. Use transit for a short ride to South Lake Union, Downtown, Seattle Pacific University, and University of Washington. Street parking is free and available.

Upon entering find gleaming white oak floors, classic millwork and eye-catching lighting. Kitchen features brand new stainless appliances, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal and a fully equipped kitchen, lots of counter space, and a kitchen island that seats 4. New modern furnishings, dimmable lighting throughout, stair-lighting, front loading washer and dryer. Stay cozy and warm in the winter and cool and relaxed in the summer with high output heat pump and air conditioner.

Our Cottage sleeps 2 people. You’ll find a queen sized bed in a private room that closes off with a solid wood pocket door. Please keep in mind the cottage is only 550 square feet and could be tight for some people (I.e. when considering luggage storage), but completely doable. The closet in the bedroom is large and there is also some storage in the bathroom/laundry room. Some travelers may find the space is too small for their liking. The cottage does have an interior set of stairs as the main living is on the upper floor. The bathroom is on the first floor allowing for privacy. Could possibly be a concern for younger travelers not accustomed to stairs. Stairs are nicely illuminated with stair lighting. Flat screen TV w/cable and Wifi included. Children books, toys, high-chair and Pack-n-Play available upon request. Street parking is available.

If you are interested in a long term stay please reach out for a personalized quote. Stays over 28 days are not subject to the short term rental tax.

Terrific summer stay

Really excellent property and the hosts were communicative but unobtrusive. I felt safe and it was quiet while at the same time being ideally located for activities throughout Seattle— would highly recommend if you come in town for a woodland park zoo show as it’s a piece of cake to walk to the entrance even carrying chairs and blankets.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at Phinney Ridge! Karleen was extremely helpful and easy to reach. The house was spotless, and also very conveniently nearby to a ton of restaurants and other food options. We also found it pretty easy to walk to the nearby bus stop and use the public transit. We would highly recommend staying there if you’re in the Seattle area!

A wonderful place to stay!

My family (2 adults and 2 young children), had a wonderful week long stay at The Drey. The owners communicated with us before our arrival, and were available throughout our stay. The rental space is newly renovated to living quarters and everything is beautifully appointed, in a great location. I've stayed with VRBO all over the globe, and I can highly recommend The Drey. Thank you!!

When my wife and I saw the knives lined up in the drawer, we knew this was the place to stay. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thx Karleen and Mark.

Loved staying here! The unit is newly remodeled/built, so everything is nice and clean. We came during a colder time, but the insulation on the main floor is really solid, and has a heater that kept us warm the entire time. Amenities were great, and our host was super communicative and helpful. Definitely will be looking for this listing again when I come back to Seattle, thank you so much!
