About this property

Entire place

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

North Seattle bungalow near light rail and I-5.

Well-appointed home north of downtown Seattle.

Two parking spaces available in-front of the house.

Enclosed yard for you and your dog!

Easy access to I-5 and Northgate light rail station (20-minute walk or very short drive).

Short walk to UW Medical Center NW and Northacres Park (dog park!).

A plethora of restaurants within a mile of the home.

Tesla Supercharger is located at Northgate Station. (One mile from property)

Fully equipped kitchen stocked with the non-perishable essentials. (spices, olive oil, pots, pans, baking dishes).

Roku TV for easy access to your favorite channels. I keep it logged into Netflix and Amazon Prime for easy use.

The house has two bedrooms each with a queen bed. There are two twin "roll-away" style beds available that can be set up in the common area.

The salt water hot tub is in a shared space with the property owner. It can be made private for you at your request. I often keep the hot tub at lower temperatures during the summer. If you prefer a certain temperature please let me know before your arrival and I can adjust it for you!

House is conveniently located near I-5. This naturally creates some road noise outside the property.

(Owners entrance to attached dwelling unit is in the backyard. The front yard is your private space, but you might see me walking through the yard to my entrance in the back).

Airport Shuttle is available for a fee and with 24 hours advanced notice.
(Please inquire for availability and details as some dates for this service may not be available)

Queer owned and operated property.

(Security cameras outside property for your safety. Mounted on roof looking towards street)

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Parking at property was easy and we were able to use the Northgate Transit Center which is close to the property to take the train downtown. After full days of activities we felt very at home in the evenings to decompress. It is a comfortable and cozy clean space. And host always communicated promptly.

I have stayed at 8 different vrbo properties in 7 different states over the past 4 yrs. This property was far and away the best overall!! Cole, our host, could not have been more helpful starting with my first contact with him 3 months prior to our arrival. He was great and the property exceeded all our expectations.

This was such a great little place to stay for our week in Seattle! It had nearly everything we could have needed, from grilling to entertainment! The beds were a little uncomfortable for two adults, but great for our teenagers! Having the beautiful yard for relaxing was amazing and access to the hot tub was a plus! Our host was very considerate and helpful when called upon! We felt safe where we were located and it seemed to be a lowkey neighborhood over all!

Great location away from downtown

I highly recommend staying in this bungalow and would do so again if I return to the area. The host has clearly put thought into making guests stay as comfortable as possible and far more enjoyable than a hotel. The light rail is close and easy to use making downtown just a short ride away. The hot tub was amazing to enjoy after lots of wandering around Seattle.

Check in was very easy! We felt welcome as soon as we stepped in the door and promptly let out a big sigh and sat down to relax.The front porch is delightful with comfortable and private seating and lovely flowers and plants everywhere. Perfect for sitting outside in the evenings.Cole is easy to talk to. We didn't have any issues that needed his attention, but we did have questions about the best places to eat and he was quick to answer.My one and only regret was that the kitchen didn't have any mixing bowls, so making him a fresh batch of muffins as a thank you was out of the question.

The house was very clean and tidy (and super cute!). Cole (the host) was extremely accommodating and friendly. He had lots of recommendations for the area and Seattle in general. We even used his offered Airport Shuttle service which was extremely helpful and convenient. The area of the city felt relatively safe and was about a 20 minute walk from the nearest light rail station which made commuting into downtown very easy. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone coming to Seattle.

If you’re staying in Seattle, stay here!

Okay, so first off, Cole is THE BEST. Anything we wanted or needed we had. He was always one step ahead, just an amazing host. The house… PERFECT for a small group/family. The front yard will take your breath away and no number of pictures do it justice. I stay in Seattle a few times a year, and I will be staying with Cole EVERY SINGLE TIME. There’s no number of stars I could give that would be enough. See you next time, Cole!!

Peaceful Refuge in Big City

Cole’s place is comfortable and clean. The front garden is a very lovely place to sit and enjoy. The beds and linens were great! It is definitely a nice place to return to after site seeing in Seattle. It’s quiet and removed from the hussle and bustle. After spending a few weeks in the islands, we weren’t quite ready for a big city again. So it was very nice to return to this lovely cottage. Even though it isn’t right by a lot of the tourist sites of Seattle, all were still easy to get to and Highway 5 is nearby so location wasn’t a problem for us. Cole was a very friendly and responsive host.
