You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rooftop Aerie - Amazing views, private, immaculate and comfortable home

Location – Rooftop Aerie is located near Woodinville.

WAIT!!!!
BEFORE you book, use your map app (e.g. Google maps or Apple maps) and search "Rooftop Aerie". You can SEE where the house is located and decide if that is a good location for yourneeds BEFORE you book.

Location is the one thing we CANNOT alter or improve upon. And we REALLY want all our guests to be satisfied, no surprises.

- Home is exclusively used as a vacation guest house (sorry, NO parties, NO receptions, NO weddings, NO events of ANY kind permitted). Registered guests plus up to 3 daytime visitors only.

- KING sized beds in master and second bedroom

- We deliberately offer a lower base rate so that guests of one or two people can also book the house. Therefore we charge an additional fee of $20 for more than 2 guests. When you enter the number guests, VRBO will calculate the cost automatically. Please be honest and honorable... do not have unregistered guests staying the night. If you choose to add guests to your stay once you arrive, let us know and we will pre-approve for the additional cost.

- Accessibility: the house is one story. However, there are two short steps into the house and two steps into the sunken living room. There are no rails for these two approaches. The rest of the bedrooms, kitchen etc are on the same level. There are grab bars for the toilets and shower in 2 of the 3 bathrooms.

- We charge the "host fee" to cover part of the cost of cleaning. We actually pay our amazing housekeeper a MINIMUM of $200 each time to clean and prepare the house. She does an impeccable job. Thus, even if it's only a one-night stay, she still cleans every part of every room in the entire house.

- Our property is rural. We have horses, chickens, and a dog. Also... wild birds, tons of hummingbirds, and from the rooftop patio you can often see redtail hawks and eagles, and even an occasional owl in the evening. We also have a lot of deer and some wild bunnies. We have security cameras in outdoor areas to ensure the safety of our guests. Audio is not enabled near the Rooftop Aerie and footage is solely for security and safety purposes to ensure the privacy of our guests is respected.

- No pets of any kind. Feel free to pet ours. Our well-trained, people-friendly (especially loves kids) border collie is off-leash within our property. This is her job. She is a great outdoor patrol, keeping unwanted animals away. We cannot have her interacting with other dogs at any time for any reason.

- DO NOT choose to book this home if you intend to have an event/party, bring an animal of any kind, or invite unregistered guests to stay.

We strive to be respectful and honorable hosts. Please be respectful and honorable guests. :-)

Rooftop Aerie offers:
• Excellent quality king beds in the master and second bedrooms. Queen bed and twin bed with in trundle third bedroom.
• Perfect privacy for three couples.
• A fully-stocked kitchen - coffee maker, tea service, toaster, blender, microwave, oven/stove, bakeware, mixer, ample cookware, dishes for 8, and a breakfast nook. There is a formal dining room that seats 8. Also a propane grill on the porch.
• Living room – leather couch/chairs, and a spectacular view of the garden and valley. Enjoy the 55in HD smart TV, including Netflix, Amazon, and an Xbox 360 and an Xbox1 with games. Also board games for the family. The propane stove is available for a bit more warmth in the cool evenings.
• AC/Heating System – the home is heated and cooled with a geothermal system, which is one of the most eco-friendly systems.

Grounds - a huge lawn including lawn games, chairs on the covered porch, in the garden, and patio couch set on the rooftop. The gardens surrounding the house include flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Guests are welcome to enjoy the blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Susan has some very friendly hens so if they're laying you can have fresh eggs. She also has a vegetable garden... ask her if you can browse and pick!

Events: No parties/events which include more than your registered guests and a few additional visitors. Our neighbors are kind and quiet and asked that we respect the tranquility.

Registering: Please tell us the names and ages of all of the guests who will be staying.

Business use: We welcome guests who are in the area on business. However, we do not allow guests to conduct business on the property.

Additional guests: You are welcome to invite a couple of folks over during the day to visit. However, additional overnight guests must be pre-approved and an additional payment is required. Yes, we mentioned this several times because in the past, some people have allowed unregistered, unpaid guests to stay the night. We hate being the guest police. So please, just don't.

No Smoking inside: No smoking/vaping/cigars inside at any time. We want to ensure that the home is appropriate for individuals who are sensitive to allergens. Smoking within the house will result in up to $900 cleaning charge. You are welcome to smoke on the lawn or under the covered porch. Please dispose of extinguished cigarettes.

Friendly comfort with a view!

Hosts have done a great job making this home comfortable for travelers. It was clean, comfortable, and very thoughtfully stocked with goodies in kitchen and bath. It’s a tranquil setting with a view on a nice day, and has a covered well-equipped outdoor area, too. John and Susan are kind, friendly, and responsive hosts. We didn’t get to spend much time at the house, because we were up for a family event, but we hope to return and take better advantage of the location and amenities another time!

Stunning property

We had a fantastic experience during our stay at Rooftop Aerie. The house is beautiful with all amenities: well stocked kitchen, laundry, toiletries, bathrobes, comfortable king size beds. Every room has stunning views, not to mention the rooftop with views of Cascades including Mt Baker! We enjoyed reading on the covered patio with humminbirds fluttering nearby, eagles and owls were also spotted. This was the serene experience we needed. John and Susan and their sweet dog Sparrow were fantastic hosts and very responsive to any issues. Susan even baked us delicious sourdough bread, twice! We intend to book the property again when we return in 2 years for another event. Very highly recommend!

Great time at the clubhouse

20 years ago, my friends and I made a movie about growing up and friendship. We got together and made a sequel to that movie and shot it locally around Monroe. We stayed at the Rooftop Aerie while we shot the movie to save on drive time to their respective homes.We didn’t know how much of a wonderful experience we would be in store for. John and Susan were excellent hosts, and very welcoming with their space. It was one of the high points of our experience

Relaxing getaway

Our stay at rooftop was amazing. Every expectation was not only met but taken to a whole new level. The owners were very friendly, easy to talk to, and super kind and respectful. One of the best moments was when early one morning our host met us and delivered fresh vegetables and eggs to us and along with a warm welcome. It was just very sincere and friendly. We were in town visiting some family and i will never forget when our host walked up and delivered fresh dungeous crab they had just caught to our home ( that was beyond cool and thoughtful). Everything about rooftop aerie says classy, respectful, real, and all around amazing experiences. Definitely a mustvbook for anybody looking for a great time and a chance to get away from the hustle and busle of life

The house was perfect for our stay. The owners are next door so able to quickly address any concerns, though I'm not sure what concerns you might have because they have considered every detail. Even providing slippers and robes for use during your stay. Susan even baked us a loaf of bread that we enjoyed for breakfast one morning. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise from the rooftop terrace & fully welcomed the peaceful feeling of seclusion. I would absolutely recommend this property to everyone visiting the area

Relaxing stay with spectacular views

This is such a great place to stay. We stayed here for 6 days and used it as our home base to visit Snoqualmie Falls, North Cascades National Park and Mt. Rainier National Park. The stay was very relaxing. The home is spacious, well stocked with all the necessities and Susan and John, the hosts, are very friendly, accommodating and communicative. When we arrived, Susan came over with a. freshly baked sourdough bread and Tillamook butter. Very attentive! They live on the same property, but are not intrusive at all. Sometimes their dog Sparrow came over to play and we really enjoyed that. The views from the patio are amazing, and even better from the patio furniture on the rooftop. On clear days you can see Mount Baker and various other peaks. I would recommend staying here if you want to escape the city and are seeking to find some peace and quiet. You will not be disappointed.

A magical place with a view that is worth the price of admission, Sally the border colllie is a wonderful greeter and smiles as you arrive. The only issue i had is the property is shown as handicap accessible but the 2 steps entering the house and the sunken living room make it difficult for someone fully wheelchair bound...i will definitely stay again

We had a wonderful time at the rooftop aerie! It was exactly why we were looking for peace and quiet. The roof top views were spectacular as were the lawn views. It had an original VRBO feel with all its personal touches like the binder with the story of the house and property. We were greeted with fresh farm eggs from the owner which made us feel very welcome.

Had a wonderful time here. John and Susan were get hosts. I picked this place because it was close to my brothers new home. Which was super convenient. It was nice to have some place to have breakfast in the morning so we didn’t have to venture out super early. Conveniently located between Monroe and Snohomish. Will definitely say here again in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway

We LOVEd this property! Our family came to the Seattle area for the first time, and would go into the city to see the sites. It was wonderful to come back to the quiet, peaceful surroundings of this property and decompress. We absolutely adored the resident dog Sparrow, and we really got a kick out of her coming to our kitchen door in the mornings, to see if we could come out and play! Watching the hummingbirds was so cool, and we were really appreciative of the fresh eggs brought to us from the owners, as well as snacks and water for our enjoyment. Thank you Rooftop Aerie!

Wedding Week

We were in the area for our son's wedding and we needed a place where we could put our feet up and relax prior to the special event. The Rooftop Aerie was the perfect place for us and the weather could not have been better for us to relax outside with our daughter and our dear friends from Wisconsin who made the trip out for the wedding. John and Susan were terrific hosts, providing fresh eggs and fresh vegtables and berries from their garden. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, includiing the items in the pantry and refrigerator. We enjoyed using the grill and preparing many of our meals. Of course, we enjoyed the friendly welcome and playfulness that Sparrow, their border collie added to our stay! We did have problems with the dishwasher, but John was quick to check it out and order a new part. Hopefully it will be working properly when the next guests arrive. We definitely would like to return for another stay when we are back in the area to visit our son and daughter-in-law.

Great Stay at Rooftop Aerie

Our family of four truly loved our week at Rooftop Aerie. The house was incredibly clean and comfortable four our family, and the views were out of this world! Susan and John were amazing hosts - adding special little "extras" to our stay. They generously offered us farm-fresh eggs and lots of homegrown vegetables. Susan even made us some DELICIOUS sourdough bread and strawberry puree. John and Susan were incredibly friendly and responsive to any question we had during our stay. Our family would definitely return to Rooftop Aerie anytime that we are in Snohomish.

Just Perfect

Our group stayed for a week. There was nothing the place needed. We cooked several meals at the house and it had everything we needed. There was an incredible supply of oils, seasonings, and condiments, which makes eating at the home so much easier. Our group as 3 couples and each had their own bedroom and bathroom. The third bath does not have a shower or tub, but that was a minor inconvenience. The water supply at the house was well water and the host provided bottled water to use. When we arrived the home was open and ready to go. Susan brought over fresh eggs one morning and fresh sourdough bread another time. There were so many things that made the house comfortable that I am sure I can't remember them all. It was clean, warm, smelled amazing, and had everything we needed. The outside patio area had heaters and a cool fire feature and we spent several nights outside listening to the frogs. We were not able to utilize the rooftop due to the winter weather creating a bit of a hazard, but it was not that much of an issue. Sparrow and the horses are little bonuses to the property that make you feel like you are at home, so we loved seeing them daily. We may or may not have given the horse a carrot. We would most definitely stay again. The trips to Woodinville and Snohomish were completely enjoyable and I would recommend both cities for food and drinks. Thank you, Susan and John. We had an amazing stay.
