About this cottage rental
The Earl Carriage House is a charming, two-story cottage, tucked away behind our home, offering plenty of space for a couple. While technically it is considered a “backyard cottage,” it is accessed without ever entering our yard or shared spaces. You will have total privacy. You'll also have dedicated off-street parking in the driveway in front of the Carriage House.
The open layout downstairs features a comfortable living area with ample seating, a charming electric stove, cable TV with streaming options, and a dining area adjacent to a fully equipped kitchen, complete with full-size stainless steel appliances. All-Clad cookware and a selection of regional cookbooks will inspire your culinary adventures. On Sundays, don't miss the nearby Ballard Farmers Market for the freshest ingredients.
Upstairs, you'll find a cozy bedroom and spacious tiled bathroom with laundry facilities. Relax in the queen-sized bed while gazing up through the skylight overhead. The stunning quartersawn oak antique doors salvaged from Seattle's Palladian Hotel add to the ambiance.
We take your comfort seriously and have provided a Simmons Beautyrest mattress with luxurious cotton linens, embroidered robes, slippers and a curated collection of feather pillows encased in hypoallergenic covers.
For entertainment, we have assorted board games, a lending library, a TV with cable, Netflix, and streaming options, reliable Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth speaker. Complimentary coffee, tea, and assorted cereal bars are provided.
What really sets The Earl Carriage House apart is our commitment to hospitality. We take pride in providing exceptional service to our guests, and it shows in our glowing reviews. Whether you need recommendations for local attractions, help with a reservation, or just a friendly chat, we're always here to help.

Such a cute property, and very well-located. Would love to stay here again next time we're in the area!

Start with the basics - clean property (meticulous, in fact), quiet area, convenient to downtown Ballard (20-minute stroll), easy parking. But the real story is the attention to detail - the "delighters" that you encounter in various aspects of the property. Choice of pillow firmness - really! Well-stocked kitchen, including a range of spices for any cooking need. Comfortable "living" area with a great "sensory" audio welcome upon arrival. A "welcome" tray on the bed and plush robes await you upstairs - perfect after a long day of travel. This was our second visit to "The Earl" and we hope there are more in our future. Great place, fabulous hosts!

Full disclaimer: I didn't stay here - I reserved it for 2 adult family members who flew in from Tennessee but I am going to paraphrase what they told me.When they checked in the first night they immediately texted me and said "This place is really great!"Throughout the weekend they commented on how beautiful the interior is, how well located it is, how easy it was to park, and how peaceful the actual setting is, even though it is close to Ballard which is a very lively part of Seattle, and that it has everything they needed and wanted. (Morning run to the beach, walk to coffee, great retail stores, coffee shops, and restaurants.)When I asked them what to write in the review they immediately said "It was everything we wanted!" The only downside was that they had hoped to see the host or host family, because they wanted to tell them how much they were ejoying their carriage house."I told them that some guests maybe don't want to interact with the hosts, but they guests are from the South, so.... ;-) NOTE: All of my communications with Virginia were prompt, clear, and detailed, and her many suggestions were very helpful.

This location is the perfect combination of a quiet neighborhood, yet with easy access to the fun districts of Ballard, Fremont, and beyond.
