Live Like a Local in Seattle Ballard Near Saltwater Beach and attractions
About this house rental
Nestled in Ballard, this attractive house for $159 per night is a great option for your next trip. Like like a local in Seattle's neighborhood of Ballard, located 15 minutes north of downtown Seattle. Historic Treat House, was completely renovated in 2008 with 100% new construction, including radiant heated floors and other traveler amenities. Treat House is owner-occupied by our family on the second floor and we welcome you to our home. We built Treat House as a vacation rental completely renovating the first floor to include everything you need. Many of our guests enjoy the piece of mind and safety made possible by an owner-occupied vacation rental. With that in mind, we are very mindful of your privacy, especially while on vacation, but are here in the event you need anything. We are located in Loyal Heights, which is commonly referred to as Ballard. We are also a short 4 minute walk to Caffe Fiore which has been voted "Best Coffee Shop in Seattle" 10 years in a row! Also, most of Seattle's number one tourist attractions are located about 1 mile away from Treat House to include the Ballard Locks, Saltwater Beach at Golden Gardens, Ballard Sunday Market, and Fishermen's Terminal which houses "The Deadliest Catch" fleet of crab boats. Ballard has received numerous awards and recognition as Seattle's best neighborhood for walkability, dining, safe and friendly neighborhood, and many of the cities best attractions. Live a part of Seattle's history and enjoy the ocean (Puget Sound) when you stay at the former property of 'Harry W. Treat'. Located 7 miles North of Downtown Seattle, and just a 15 minute walk to the ocean (Puget Sound) you will find a quiet oasis filled with activities. We respect your privacy, and invite you to your own private suite and outdoor area located in our home. Please find information on Harry W. Treat and the ocean park just a 2 minute drive, or 15 minute walk below: The park was named by and developed by Harry W. Treat in 1907 as an 'attraction' at the end of the new electric car lines being built by realtors to induce townfolk to take a 'Sunday outing' out of town and through the woods to a picnic or swim at a beach. (Along the way they were made aware of the real estate available!) The Carbine ended at Loyal Way (& 85th) with a steep twisting dusty path down into the park - or those owning a 'tin lizzie' could drive down a dusty county road (approximately the present drive entering the upper park from the north) and down to a small parking area on the east side of the railroad tracks, then by foot across the tracks to the beach. At that time the northern half of Meadow Point named by the Coast Guard was the site of a shipyard until 1913. To the south the beach curved in along the railroad seaway - all the way to Salmon Bay. The State owns the tidelands south of the park, with boat works and yards by the Bay. Thank you and we look forward to meeting you. Keywords: large Studio, House, Kitchen

This is a lovely light-filled unit in a walk-out basement of a bungalow. The host, Darrell, is very responsive and nice. It is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple as it has a very open floor plan with the bedroom delineated with curtains. Safe neighborhood, easy parking and centrally located, we would definitely stay here again.

We are a family with a toddler and we decided to stay here because it's close to the beach, has a kitchen, and looked comfortable for sleeping arrangements. It was indeed a comfortable space for us and we read through the lovely books about the local ecology each night before bed. The hosts sent us some great recommendations and we'd definitely enjoy staying here again in the future. Thanks!!

LOCATION: nice quiet neighborhood, always felt safe!! About 20 minute Lyft ride to downtown Seattle at around $30.
HOST: extremely friendly and helpful. Easily accessible for anything.
SPACE: exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable. Nice updated decor, spacious bathroom, plenty of seating in living area with TV, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, nice clean linens.
TRANSPORTATION: easy to get a Lyft at anytime to anywhere. Bus stops are close by about 1 mile but the walk from the bus stop to the property is UPHILL!!!
AREA MUST DOs: Rays boathouse for a meal, lots of local restaurants in town, Shilshole Bay, Ballard locks, Ballard Market every Sunday. All of this is within a few miles of the property. In fact you could walk TO any of this however the walk back is steep hills so I would suggest getting a Lyft back.
We had the BEST experience! We were in Seattle for 4 days prior to our Alaskan cruise. This was the perfect place. Out of the city but east to get to the city. We spent a couple days just enjoying Ballard and a couple days in Seattle doing the typical tourists stuff.

Beautiful apartment & nicest hosts
Darrell and Beth ensured we were comfortable and left us alone in the perfect balance. The apartment is spacious and quiet. I was visiting Seattle for a family graduation and gathering at my sister’s nearby.. At the same time, I had a big work deadline which meant I needed a quiet place work with great internet access. Darrell even gave me batteries for my keyboard when mine died. So kind. The apartment met all my needs and then some. Thanks Darrell and Beth. kd

Great location
The location was perfect for us. About 3 blocks from our daughter’s house, it’s also near a coffee shop and a lovely park overlooking the sound. A full service grocery store was about a mile away; a nice walk.

My husband daughter and I traveled from WI to Seattle for a college graduation. The property matched the description, was clean and well kept. The host was wonderful with communication- gave lots of area recommendations and even provided his personal cell phone number. Our daughter had a difficult time adjusting to the time change and he was very understanding. Ample linens provided, along with basic needs like dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels etc. Location was convenient to area attractions. Would recommend/stay again.

My family and I were first time visitors to the Seattle area and wanted to stay some place local and quiet. We had a fantastic time at Treat House. It is centrally located, in a beautiful neighborhood, making it very convenient to all Seattle landmarks. The home was very clean, easily accessible, bright, beautifully decorated and full of amenities. Darrell and family were great hosts, very nice and welcoming. They left maps, books and information on the local area which was great for us. It was really nice to meet them and share stories. This was such a positive experience that we will not hesitate to stay at Treat House again.

Loved the place. Very tasteful studio. Outside would need an automatic light switch for night time to see where one is walking. There were a few minor problems at check in. Overall everything was great.
