This place allowed us to explore Ballard and the rest of Seattle with ease--and then to relax out on the deck and enjoy a great view when we got back. Would highly recommend!

Sunset Hill Seattle
Good for two people. A great location with quiet backyard to relax. Parking is private and convenient. The bed is small for 2. Kitchen has all you need, but table space is minimal so it is good for breakfast. Walk easily to some restaurants and bike along the bike paths. We found the chairs from the balcony to be more comfortable than the couch . . .

Great location and felt right at home
We had a wonderful stay. The location was ideal. We were close enough to downtown so we could easily go exploring but the house is in a nice quiet area away from all of the commotion. We were able to shop at the a nearby farmers market and have wonderful food on hand. We even got to attend the local Seafood Fest in downtown Ballard. We felt like locals. Thanks for everything .

Nice and quiet location, able to park on street every night. Fairly cozy for two adults especially the bed. Upgraded bathroom, everything needed in kitchen. Suggested to get a new Keurig or a larger drip coffee maker.

Great spot near Ballard Locks
The property is clean, well appointed, and offers a convenient location for the Ballard area. The hosts have thought of everything to accommodate the traveler. One suggestion would be to leave instructions for the use of the Keurig coffee maker. It did not work sometimes. Overall, I highly recommend this rental.

Delightful Nest
My husband and I enjoyed everything about our stay. The two levels enabled him to make early morning coffee and hold zoom meetings downstairs while I was preparing for the day upstairs. A small deck upstairs with glider chairs overlooks the delightful patio below, and the chimney tops above, a welcoming respite at the end of day in the beautiful landscaping. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and very walkable to nearby eateries.

This is a nice property, close to town. The owners did a good job of providing activities around the house and Bikes, Backpacks, Chairs to make it comfortable. The stairs up to the bedroom are rather steep, and probably not the best for older customers.

Great place to stay!
We loved our stay in Ballard! We were in town for a week and were able to easily walk to several bus lines to go into downtown Seattle, Fremont, and further into Ballard. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and I loved all of the personal touches to make us feel at home. The patio and deck off the top floor were great for enjoying coffee in the morning. Thank you for being such gracious hosts!!!

We stayed here while exploring Seattle and the surrounding area over a long weekend. We did need a rental car to get to most of the places we wanted to visit. The property was clean, comfortable, and fit our needs perfectly.
