About this apartment rental
Perch on a stool at the breakfast bar under airy vaulted pine ceilings in this bright, cozy studio home. This modern backyard cottage is tucked away in a private setting, yet steps away from everything this hip neighborhood has to offer. Custom designed and hand-built by the hosts, this backyard cottage is a sanctuary in the city. After a day of exploring nearby beaches, beautiful parks, kayaking the sound or eating your way through the Farmer’s Market, come home and unwind on the private deck. Free street parking!
A short walk to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s.
Finished in 2016, this custom-built studio cottage is tucked away in a private setting. The 400 sq. ft. craftsman style space is thoughtfully designed to incorporate natural daylight through large windows and high pine wood cathedral ceilings. The tasteful, modern craftsman interior creates a cozy home away from home and offers all you need for an overnight or an extended stay.
Your fully equipped kitchen offers quartz countertops, a sink with Grohe faucet, petite 4-burner stove with oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, Nespresso coffee maker, and everything you need to prepare meals, if you prefer to eat in. You'll sleep comfortably in the comfortable king sized bed with and enjoy a full bathroom with a tiled shower/tub. A CB2 Flex Full-size Sleeper Sofa (rated best sleeper sofa by Apartment Therapy) can accommodate another guest.
Your cottage is set back from the street in our private backyard, atop our garage (not parked in, and rarely opened), surrounded by trees and a greenbelt behind our house. It is designed to be eco-friendly with SIP panels, LED lighting, heat pump water heater and radiant floor heating. Serene, healthy, and beautiful - and close to everything! It's perfect for out of town guests, vacationers, a staycation, or business travelers.
You have the benefit of a completely private space above our detached garage with full 24-hour access, free street parking, and a private entrance. There are 12 stairs from the driveway to the cottage, which is a second story unit. Fresh sheets and towels are provided for longer visits, upon request.
Privacy is all yours, though we're happy to help you with navigate our neighborhood and Seattle, and provide recommendations if desired.

It's a lovely, quiet, private, cozy space. Well equipped with all I needed for a visit to family who live nearby. Nice Nespresso coffee maker, comfy bed, lots of natural light. I would liken it to a boutique hotel suite. Communication from Sarah was warm and timely. Easy check in and check out. Neighborhood is walkable with lotd of restaurants, coffee shops, and unique lical shops, plus quick drive (or longish walk) to Lincoln Park's lovely woods and waterfront. Highly recommend.

This was hands down the most clean, organized, convenient, cozy and STUNNING stay we’ve ever experienced. Sure hope we’re able to stay here again someday. 6 stars!
