The Lake House - hot tub, waterfront

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
If you're looking for modern and updated this is definitely not the place for you. If you're looking for some relaxation after driving across the country (were from ohio) then this is the perfect place! The home is historic, but very well kept and clean. My family had a nice relaxing couple days before our Alaskan cruise. We enjoyed sitting out by the lake and the hot tub. Its very quite, peaceful and beautiful grounds. The home was clean, had all necessary amenities and the beds were very comfy! I was disappointed the laundry was under the house. Its well kept as can be for an underground area.. had I known that initially I might not have booked, but then we would have missed an overall great experience. If I had to make suggestions it would be an additional TV in one of the bedrooms, and more comfortable living room furniture. I found the couch and chairs very uncomfortable and spent most of my time on blankets laying on the floor. The host was very responsive! Would stay again!

Light-filled one bedroom cottage with garage.

NickRating, 5 starstoday
The cottage was amazing - our local friends will absolutely be recommending this for future stays. Everything was very clean and organized. The host had great instructions and fast responses. Location was nested in a great neighborhood that was walker-friendly with amazing views of the mountains across the Sound, and the neighborhood was quiet at night. Cottage itself was private and the perfect amount of space for us (party of 2). Bed was comfortable - and that’s coming from someone with some back issues. We highly recommend.

Loved the spot! Cozy/small with a beautiful yard. I’m very glad it was a bit further down the road from the fraternity houses - very quiet at night! Directions/labels were posted all over the apartment which I found very helpful. Kristi really knows how to make things easy to understand!

Green Lake Guest Suite - 1 Block to Lake

GabrielRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Stayed overnight with my partner. Cozy and comfortable space for the price. Able to avoid feeling like you're in the hustle and bustle of the city while still being within a very short walk to Green Lake and about 5 minutes drive from Fremont, Wallingford, Ravenna and U District Neighborhoods. Hosts were friendly, proactive, and provided instructions to get to the house a few days prior and even made sure to follow up to make sure I got the information I needed day of. Would recommend their guest house.

The apartment looks on onto the lake and it was very nice to sit out on the patio watching sea planes and boaters. The interior was comfortable, stylish, and very clean. I felt the mattress was quite comfortable. Easy parking right out front. While the apartment is on a busy road, it was not disruptive and it didn't bother us at all during the night. The communication was great and proactive. I would definitely stay here again!

This airbnb was in a great location and near many of Seattle’s attractions! We really enjoyed being able to easily walk to the Space Needle and nearby restaurants. The condo was also super cozy and clean! The air conditioner and fans did a great job of blocking out the city noises. The condo required a code to get inside, so it felt very secure.

The best place to stay in downtown Seattle! Despite my late night check-in, I think it was about 12:45, Simon, the manager met me at the door and was incredibly congenial and pleasant. It’s such an affordable place! Nice and tidy, beautiful, inner courtyard, lovely to have a washer and dryer in the unit, it was a fantastic day that I highly recommend !

Condo; 99 Walk score, Free Parking, Hottub, Pool

DixieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The location was within walking distance to good restaurants and popular downtown attractions. The building was safety conscious of tenants, you closed the doors behind you as you walked in. We liked how cozy the apartment was and it was very convenient for us to use the kitchen to cook dinner and breakfast. The host provided toiletries you may have forgotten to pack for yourself. We communicated with Ken and Wallace and they were very responsive to any questions we had. We received a tour of both buildings when we first checked in and we received clear instructions on how to check out. Due to being downtown, it can get a little loud from nightlife. I would wake up occasionally to some loud noises like an ambulance or motorcycle, but I was able to fall back asleep. If you plan to bring a car to use the parking garage, please be sure to test the garage keys with no other tenant cars nearby to ensure you park in the correct garage. Overall, great place and we enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay in Seattle, and this property was excellent for our family of three. Our 7 year old took the couch and we had a grand old time walking around the area and watching the sun set on the water. It was very clean and had great instructions for all areas of the property. We felt safe knowing our car was secured and we were in a great area. Wonderful experience!

Your guide to Seattle

Introduction

Sandwiched between the waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington and between the mountains of the Olympic and Cascade ranges, Seattle is a city of stunning views. Combining that allure with its gentle, outdoors-focused lifestyle, the city is an ideal spot for an urban getaway or as a base for a longer trip to explore western Washington. Green parks and tree-lined neighborhoods spread across the city, while Mount Rainier and the iconic Space Needle anchor the skyline. The latter offers a stunning view of the city’s many hills and waterways, including the houseboats along Lake Union and the ferries shuttling passengers across Elliott Bay. Though its surroundings provide a stunning backdrop, the city also lives up to its much-deserved reputation for great music, strong coffee, and ubiquitous flannel shirts.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Seattle

Seattle’s reputation for rain precedes it, but most visitors will find their trip unaffected by it: The rainy season runs opposite tourist season, with the bulk of precipitation coming down from November to March. Additionally, the rain that does fall rarely comes in stormy sheets, but rather in a constant drizzle — the kind that can feel endless to residents, but which rarely calls for canceling outdoor plans. A waterproof, hooded rain jacket provides better protection from this kind of rain than an umbrella. Cool weather arrives in winter, but temperatures rarely drop below freezing during the day. The dry summer season brings delightfully pleasant weather, and is an ideal time to book one of the city’s vacation rentals, with daily high temperatures averaging in the high 70s Fahrenheit and cool evenings in the mid-50s.


Top things to do in Seattle

Fremont

The self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” epitomizes the quirky, friendly nature of Seattle neighborhoods, with its ample public art like the “Waiting for the Interurban” statues and a waterfront park created from a former gasification plant. Home to many of Seattle’s big tech companies, Fremont also offers an exciting slate of shops and restaurants catering to young, hip crowds.

Olympic Sculpture Park

The outdoor arm of the Seattle Art Museum, this free nine-acre, multilevel public park features temporary and permanent sculptures from internationally renowned artists. The installations dot a hillside cut through by a zig-zag path that leads down to the picturesque Elliott Bay, where it meets up with Myrtle Edwards Park and the Elliott Bay Trail.

Pike Place Market

Dating back to 1907, Seattle’s beloved and enormous market, perched over the waterfront, enjoys fame around the world for the fish from nearby waters. But the colorful displays of flowers, farm stands full of fruit, and dozens of local culinary producers deserve equally high billing. On the lesser-known lower floors and outer buildings, hundreds of craft artists, small businesses, and restaurants serve the community.
