    My family had a wonderful stay at Thornton Creek. The house was clean and had just the right amount of space for two adults and two young children. It had all the amenities we needed, including a pack-n-play for my 2 year old. The location of the house was close to the creek, and we spent a couple afternoons enjoying it. The host was very responsive when I had inquiries and provided helpful recommendations for restaurants and experiences. It's a nice retreat from the city, but also only 20-30 minutes from downtown.

    Cute home with everything you need for a trip away. Cozy beds, well stocked kitchen, wonderful yard with space for the kids and dog to toss a Frisby. Very pet friendly. Only note that was not clear when I booked is this is a single home spit into two units. So if you want your own private place, this is not that. it was a non-issue for us, and we'd gladly come back again.

    We had an amazing time at Thornton Creek. Spring was peeking out and we spent a lot of time hiking the creek, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying the back deck. The amenities offered are above any other vacation rental I have ever been to. We definately will return. You can't go wrong!

    We stay in Seattle a lot, as we have a grandchild there. We rent houses so we can have our dog and grandchild interact and we can have family meals together. This is the nicest place we’ve stayed and the quiet location was perfect. The Thornton Creek greenbelt behind the house is surreal.

    Our main reason for staying in this area was that it was close to Seattle Childrens Hospital. We were traveling for medical and it was a short drive. There is a park/playground within walking distance but we didnt get a chance to use it due to weather.The house had everything stocked, laundry, bathroom, and plenty of items in the kitchen.The only negative was the dog poop around the lower part of the property and yard. We stayed upstairs, there was a person staying downstairs with a dog. There are rules that all garbage and recycling needs to be taken to the cans prior to check out. Unfortunately there was dog poop in the yard and near the cans. We did not take advantage of the yard partially due to this. Overall it was decent. And great communication with the host.
