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.

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.

We were looking for a nice home with a short ride to the ball diamond. Lots of walking paths available around the house made it a nice place to go for a walk in the mornings.

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.

Selected home to accommodate additional family members since son was graduating from Seattle University. Beautiful home near all the Seattle sights. Home stocked with everything that you need. Home owner quickly responded to communications. From previous reviews, knew about the road noise so it didn’t bother us. I

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.

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.

We stayed at the property over Thanksgiving and Marc was very helpful in getting us what we needed. Quite a few lights out throughout the house and we had to go searching for extra towels, we never found kitchen rags but could have easily asked. Great stay, thank you!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has an amazing view, and on a very clear day, you can see Mt. Rainier. The house is well equipped and spacious, and could easily handle the 8 of us. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Great stay! We were 3 couples and the house was perfect for us. Each couple had their own bed and designated bathroom. The house was spacious enough to allow for privacy but comfortable for the 6 of us to watch the game on TV. The views were great and the location was perfect for sightseeing.
Some of the furnishings are worn but still comfortable and everything worked. Would stay again if visiting Seattle.

House just as pictured on the inside! Many every-day kitchen supplies already there and excellent appliances. Rooms nice size and beds comfortable. Could never figure out how either tv worked and couldn’t find any instructions. Host very accommodating in answering all questions prior to visit. Flowers in vase greeting us was a nice touch!

Beautiful views, multiple decks and plenty of space to hang out together -- or have a little quiet time away from the crowd. Make sure to bring your walking shoes, and know that it's a very hilly neighborhood! Close to a few restaurants and coffee shops, and did I mention the views? Early this morning we took our coffee to one of the three patios and watched the rowing teams go from our side over to the Mercer Island side...so relaxing! Thanks to Mark for a great time.

We spent a very enjoyable 5 days in this beautiful, spotless, well equipped home. The house is as pictured/advertised.
There was noticeable highway noise, which is to be expected given the house's location. The view from all the decks is spectacular, however.
Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic time -- the house was *perfect* for us (two families, and my mother) -- lots of space for the kids to run around and play, wonderful decks with glorious views. The location was terrific too: close to lots of attractions downtown and yet secluded and with great walks all around.
Thank you very much for letting us stay at your place!

Seattle fun
There were 13 that stayed very comfortably in this great house. We are Blue Jay fans, walked to the games/waterfront(60+min), not a walk for everyone. Freeway noise wasn't great but overall a great house for a large group.

Great stay
We were a three generation family group in Seattle for a wedding. The house provided rooms for all. The kids were down. The adults were up. Only grandpa who has difficulty with stairs was completely comfortable.
Good location. Great views. Fun to watch the bridge.

Stayed here with my family, including 1 kid, 1 toddler, and 1 baby. Great separation between the bottom and top floors, separated by the main common level. Has everything you need. Views are gorgeous, quiet area. The freeway is loud but other than that really peaceful. The beds are extremely noisy just FYI for light sleepers. Comfortable but they all are on boxsprings and make a ton of noise if you move. Overall highly recommend this property! Can’t beat the views

This house worked great for a gathering of 10 women, all cousins who have an annual long weekend get together. The view of Lake Washington from the decks was stunning. Easy access for Seattle sight seeing. Ample street parking. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and we did a lot of cooking. The house has a lot of stairs and low lighting in some areas, so it would not be good for guests with mobility or vision issues. Everyone enjoyed the stay!
