Great little spot. Close to breweries, restaurants and stores. Perfect for our quick trip.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This is the perfect cottage as a solo traveler, and would accommodate a couple easily. Check-in process very easy, host is excellent in communication, and responds very quickly with any question you may have.The space is thoughtfully curated, spotlessly clean, and you feel safe and secure. There is a lovely yard, and a privacy fence around the perimeter, so you feel that sense of privacy all the time. The property is in a beautiful area, and is within walking distance of Town & Country Market for the essentials you may need upon arrival. Ballard Farmers Market is also within walking distance, open year around, and is an amazing market to visit on Sundays. If you are looking for a great landing spot for your time in Ballard/Seattle, this is a great place, and will not disappoint!!

It is a cute place. Having my own garden was great. The location is great. But, the rug in the living room was slightly damp and has an unpleasant odor. The non-fitted mattress cover was overly wrinkled and left marks on the body
