About this house rental

Welcome to our bright, spacious guesthouse in Seward Park! A large 2 br/1 ba open floor plan, and all major amenities, this modern retreat has everything you need for a perfect Seattle stay. Relax outdoors in our spacious patio and yard, or go on a biking adventure. Close to Seward Park and minutes drive to Columbia City, you'll have easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, and more! A half-block to the bus line connects you to Seattle's light rail, making exploring the city a breeze.

Our 1200 sqft guesthouse sits at the rear of our primary residence on a half-acre lot. There's plenty of room indoors and out for vacationers, business travelers, or families with kids. The property is fully-fenced, secured, and private.

It's common to see an array of beautiful birds fly overhead such as pelicans, herons, and eagles or be visited by a neighborhood bunny foraging in the grass.

We have lived in this beloved part of Seattle our entire lives. After moving into our home in 2012, we focused on raising our three boys and, in late 2022, decided to transform our guesthouse into a modern retreat. After two and a half years of renovation, we’re excited to share this labor of love with you and hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do.

    Probably our best Vrbo stay yet.! The guest house was immaculate and so comfortable, in a beautiful neighborhood. Gladys and Michael could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. It was a perfect stay and we look forward to staying there again when we’re back in Seattle visiting a family. If we could give it 10 stars, we would!

    10.0 / 10.0
    This property was amazing! It’s new and clean and fully stocked with everything we needed for our family. Even the small things like an air frier to toys to night lights made it the perfect spot for our family with little kids. The hosts were nice and went above and beyond with communicating and accommodating our requests. The location was also great. A short distance to downtown and walkable to Seward Park with miles of trails, playground and waterfront views. Would recommend and would come back if ever in the area!
