About this cottage rental

Nestled in Lake Union, this lovely cottage for $236 per night is a great option for your next vacation. This enchanting home, is a wonderful place for enjoying your time in Seattle. Part rustic hunting lodge - part romantic cabin nestled in the quaint city neighborhood. Very private, very classy and very fun! This comfortable and well stocked and cared for home is well equipped for all of your needs. Situated at the intersections of Capitol Hill, Eastlake and Portage Bay neighborhoods which are very central to all Seattle has to offer and a really cool area to call home while you explore Seattle and really get a sense of enjoying city life. Walk to wonderful restaurants, party at the hip Pine/Pike corridor, watch the sunset from the West side of our location, and the sunrise just down the hill....both within a very short (5 minutes?) walk. Super quick drive or very short cab ride downtown, walk to U-District, Gas Works Park the Arboretum, Broadway, Madison Park, Volunteer Park, and bike just about anywhere on the Burke-Gilman trail just across the bridge or at the extreme mountain bike course (look up 1-5 Colannade Mountain Bike Park). Jump on a paddleboard or rent a kayak just on the other side of the bridge as well - (Check out Aqua Verde Paddle Club and Cafe :) Skiing and tubing is an hour away at Snoqualmie Pass, or you can go wine tasting at Chateau St. Michelle or check out Redhook Brewery in Woodinville. White water rafting is about 60-90 minutes as well. There is a lot to do here! Families will love the separate spaces on the top floor and main floor, hidden nooks, shelves and shelves of games and toys for ALL ages, enjoy the rustic and comfortable features and careful attention to every detail. Totally refinished with all modern amenities including Rinnai water heater(never out), gas range, stainless steel appliances, air conditioning, stereo system, high speed internet, cable for two tv's, xbox, tons of movies, games and books. Sleeps quite 6 comfortably, and 8 if necessary with very comfortable beds with down comforters, wonderful linens and mattresses including a Tempur-Pedic. Two main bedrooms on first level, and space for at least 4 with one bed and a futon and a secret nook on the second floor. Two fireplaces, full - subway tiled bathroom with chandelier, fantastic modern and rustic lighting throughout. Full kitchen with dishwasher and all of the necessary equipment to entertain, cook and prepare meals or relax and open a bottle of wine and party with friends! This is a great place that has been enjoyed by families, (in fact a group of 9 were very comfortable here), friends, girls weekends, guys weekends, wedding parties, and extended stays. The courtyard and location of the house give this place real added private feel in the middle of the city. Our guests LOVE our city chickens! Plan to take a few for breakfast as our guests, or just get to know the friendly girls. It really is a great place to enjoy a vacation or get away! Let me know if I can help you plan anything, or if you have any questions that I can help with. We love this place, and really want you to be able to enjoy your time here too. Managed by 'ex' Four Seasons Hotel employee and clean freak.

I needed a place for me and my adult son, plus two elderly relatives who use walkers and can’t manage stairs. This place is easy to get into, with 2 comfy bedrooms on the ground floor. I would definitely stay there again!

We had a lovely time staying at the Carriage House! It was cute, clean and had everything we needed for the week. The kids loved the upstairs loft area and got really into a Judy Blume book they found. It was also realky fun collecting eggs from the chickens and sitting out back having cocktails in the yard. Thanks Jill and Dick for being amazing hosts!

This cottage has everything needed. Location was great. Had the pup with us and she was very comfortable also. Loved seeing the chicks everyday. Freeway was noisy, but we were able to shut windows at night and it was fine. Lots of fans around and sound machines in the rooms. Thank goodness we were there before the big heat came. The host was very sweet and accommodating. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!

My family and I stayed at this property for a couple of nights and had a wonderful experience. We have a toddler and baby and found the house to be very kid friendly - the toys and kids books were a huge perk that kept our son busy. It was also very charming, clean and well located. Despite being very close to a busy highway, we didn’t really hear the noise from inside. It was also very well equipped with everything we needed and more. Jill was a very kind, helpful and welcoming host. Would definitely recommend this spot!

We stayed at this property for 3 nights before we took off on a cruise. The house was quaint and filled with nooks and crannies and things to do! Our toddler loved visiting the chickens and looking for eggs every day! The host, Jill, was great, very helpful, and very communicative! We really enjoyed staying at this property!

From booking to checking in/out, everything was smooth about our stay at the city cottage. Jill was attentive and easy to communicate with. She was warm and inviting of her property. The property was easy to get to, right off the highway, and on street parking was never an issue. The area was safe and within walking distance to some playgrounds, restaurants and coffee shops. A quick ~20 minute drive got us into the city for all of our sight seeing adventures! We met our family (4 adults and 3 children in total) in Seattle for vacation for a week. We comfortably fit in the two bedrooms and loft room with an additional futon. There were fans available, as well as an air conditioner in the loft area. It was great to have a washer/dryer in the cottage, as well as a stocked kitchen with all of the necessities. The kids loved visiting the chickens in the backyard and collecting their eggs. They also enjoyed all of the games, books and toys in the cottage. The kayaks and paddle boards were available to us (they have life jackets) but we did not use them as we were out sightseeing for the majority of our stay. We highly recommend staying at the city cottage for your visit in Seattle!
