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.

Very spacious and tidy, and a great location in a beautiful area right next to Seward Park. Kitchen was super well stocked, with lots of thoughtful details. Will definitely stay there again if we’re in the area!

We were so pleased with this stay! The house was perfect for our quick trip visiting family who live right up the street (and I’m sure would be great for a longer stay, too). Gladys and Michael were extremely accommodating of us traveling across the country with two little ones and allowed early check-in so we could get settled. There were even toys already there which were great for our three year old. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials (even kid friendly ones), and the bathroom was great. Parking was easy and the proximity to Seward Park can’t be beat. Would definitely stay here again!

Spacious living area. Great location. The HVAC was really loud when it was running but other than that the accommodations were quiet and comfortable.
