The Emerald Homestead in the Heart of the Emerald City

Ideally located near the major crossroads in Seattle, the Emerald Homestead is conveniently situated for those visiting to experience all of what Seattle has to offer, just minutes to downtown, I-90 and I-5. Set against the backdrop of sweeping panoramic views of Lake Washington, Mount Rainier and the Cascade mountain range, this architect designed home provides a great base for those who are attending weddings, family reunions or conventions to relax and recreate in a luxurious yet comfortable setting.

The neighborhood amenities offer many services within walking distance in this quiet bedroom community of single family homes.From the fine dining at Daniel’s Broiler to less formal fare at Bluwater Leschi, Heyday and That’s Amore as well as the casual dining at QED Coffee and Golden Wheat Bakery, there are several quality options for eating out within a mile.

Access to Lake Washington beaches and boat ramp are just a few minutes walk from the house. Designed by the same landscape firm that created Central Park in NYC, and known locally as the “String of Pearls”, Colman Park, Frink Park and Colman Beach all add a sylvan setting that brings nature into the city.

Cleaning guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
We’ve created 16 point cleaning checklist based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We have a 48 hour waiting period in between rentals.


The flowing open floor plan painted in soft earth tones and anchored by rich exotic hardwoods, surrounds you with the finest of materials all within a jewel-like setting.

A true gourmet kitchen awaits you, complete with Viking designer series appliances, beautiful solid cherry cabinetry and opulent slab granite countertops.

Retreat to your expansive master suite complete with view deck, double sided fireplace, sumptuous bath with jetted tub, hand-crafted stone surfaces and one-of-a-kind blown glass vessel sinks.

This abundant light-filled home envelops you with the beauty of nature year round.

Vrbo. In Mt Baker
This property has a stunning view of Mt. Ranier and Lake Washington. The property fit our needs as a family with bedrooms for everyone. The property manager was very responsive. We used Uber quite a bit and they were always there within 1-3 minutes. There is a coffee shop a couple blocks away . You do have to be able to do stairs or hills. We loved our stay. .

A Great Holiday Stay
We met up in Seattle for the Christmas Holiday, and this house served us well with plenty of bedrooms and gathering space for seven adults. The kitchen is well appointed, with everything you need. An added feature is the neighborhood. We found a couple of good restaurants, a bakery and a coffee shop just up the hill. In all, we were glad to be together, and this house was a great find. I highly recommend it.

This house was beyond our expectations. Large and spacious with lots of room to be together or spread out. The views are great from living room and balconies. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you could possibly need to cook. Location was perfect. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Easy drive to T mobile arena and Pike Place area. We hope to stay again!

Short Family Trip for Graduation
My family and I (9 people) stayed here this May, and we loved this house. Mark was easy to work with and communicated quickly. The location was close to downtown and relatively easy to access (lots of steep hills, but that's Seattle). The only critique would be that the space is older and could use a little bit of TLC in some areas. The views from the back deck were spectacular, and we were blessed to have a view of the Cascades and Mt. Rainier 3 for four days when we stayed there. The property has a lot of character, and the master bedroom is special with its size, views, and amenities. We had a wonderful time and loved the space!

Well supplied home
Plenty of room for our family to spread out but also area to be able to play games and spend time together. Lovely home with beautiful views. Close to many amenities-stores, restaurants, places to see. Well equipped with plenty of linens, towels, pillows, blankets, etc. Temp of home was very nice in July with windows open. Traffic noise was not too bad. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks Mark for letting us use your home.

Great House & Location
We had a group of 6 friends that visited Seattle and stayed at this wonderful house. The house was in good shape and very clean. Check-in was simple and no issues. Location was great as it was about 15 minutes to downtown Seattle and all attractions. The view from the deck(s) was terrific. We could see Mt. Ranier which was spectacular. The house does sit on the hill over I-90 and the floating bridge but that just added another interesting element to the stay in our opinion. The house and our stay was better than we had expected. Highly recommended!

Great gathering spot for friends & family
Mark was great to work with. He even made sure we had a Christmas tree and decorations for our family Christmas weekend. The home is comfortable with a modern rustic vibe. Plenty of shared and also separate space if you need a break from the fun. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need for cooking. It’s also in the heart of the home so all are close for snacks and chats. The property is close to a few parks and we enjoyed getting out on foot to explore. It is also close, by car, to downtown Seattle and Bellevue. We enjoyed the great views the most. We would stay there again for sure. Thanks Mark.

Great View and Plenty of Room!
This home worked very well for our family. It was comfortable, and there was enough room for the teens to spread out and have their own space downstairs. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch. The view was delightful and we were able to watch the New Years Eve fireworks in Bellevue. The kitchen was well stocked, except a few more kitchen towels would be helpful. The host was responsive and timely. The down side: The furniture is a bit tired compared to the way the photo's look, but adequate and comfortable. Especially for our family with 5 grandsons! The neighborhood, while close in to Seattle, is a slow transit as it is an older section of Seattle with narrow curving hilly streets, perhaps that is the price you pay for such a nice view. It doesn't feel as "upscale" as the pictures look, or perhaps as the price indicated. But it worked well and we were grateful to be able to stay there together.

Beautiful views of Mercer Island and Mt. Rainer
Our stay was nice, the house for the most part was what we expected. The views are outstanding, but the house is need of repairs both inside and out. The doors going to the decks are both rotting. The housekeeping staff needs to improve or be replaced, there are spiders everywhere, the coffee maker had coffee grounds still in it upon our arrival. Light to the master shower would come on and then off. The other two switches in the master bath, which we believe were for the fans did not work. The same thing with the bathroom on the first floor and that shower handle would pop off. There are other items we could list. Do not be mistaken what we are saying, this would be a great house, if it would receive a little TLC. We're not quite sure it is a Vrbo Premier house.
