The house is very welcoming, sparkling clean, and everything is in excellent functional condition. The location was very convenient for us. Neighborhood is friendly and feels safe. This was a great place for our family of 6, 4 adults and 2 kids, to stay in Seattle

We were very happy with our stay at Birch Tree Cottage!
Check-In/Out was a breeze, and the location was super convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We just jumped on I-5 which was very close by and that got us anywhere we wanted. We also loved that it was just a short walk from a really great coffee shop which we went to each morning.
We felt that this was a very safe area to stay in, and also really appreciated the off-street parking.
The unit had plenty of space, was cute and comfortable, and was very well-stocked to meet all our needs. We would definitely stay here again - thank you!

Birch Tree was cute, nicely updated, and clean. We are a family of 4, 3 adults and a teen. Everyone had their own space and it was a great location to relax after a full day of sight seeing. Quiet neighborhood! Our kids enjoyed running the hills in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

My family and I had a great stay. The place was spotless, the location was perfect, and we were very comfortable. The heaters in the bedrooms didn't seem to work, but it didn't really affect us. We'd be happy to stay there again in the future.

Really nice lower level master suite. Well-appointed kitchen. Very comfortable home in a cute neighborhood. We had a plumbing issue, and service showed up pretty quickly. Didn't have the parts, and stores were closed, so he came back the next day and... Problem solved. Easy checkout. Overall, really good experience.

Overall, we were super happy with the Birch Tree Cottage. It’s a super cute place, near lots of shops and restaurants, and easy access to highways to get around anywhere in Seattle. The only issue we had was that the TV was on the fritz and there were no garbage bags so we could not take the trash out. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Seattle.

Great location north or downtown Seattle. Our kids loved the loft beds. The dedicated parking spot, laundry, and WiFi put it over the top for us! Would definitely stay here again.

Very cute home, nicely furnished and clean. Walkable neighborhood. Close to grocery store, bakeries, and close to I-5 which takes you everywhere. Nicely accommodates 4 in two bedrooms but upstairs room with two twin beds is pretty much unusable due to the heat with no a/c up there. Would be ok in cooler months probably. Loved sitting out on back deck and enjoying the trees and flowers and hummingbirds.

This was an awesome house for our visit. The location was only blocks away from our family and the main level bedroom and easy access to the front door was perfect for my senior mother who has a hard time with stairs. Very comfortable for the 3 of us.

Great little cottage in Seattle.
My wife and I lived this little cottage. It was the perfect location for us to visit our adult children less than two miles away. The small kitchen and eating area were perfect for us, though a larger family might feel cramped.
We hope to stay here again on another visit.

Well kept house in great neighbourhood
Welcoming, clean house with nicely equipped kitchen and amenities. Roomy deck and grill available. Great for a family stay.
We did have a problem with the E-lock failing. It was more than an hour wait on the call in help line (perhaps a long wait related to the current COVID19 precautions) Once we spoke with the customer service agent she was very helpful and we did get in. She noted that it may be a battery issue. The E-lock did fail again but there were keys to another entrance we could use the rest of the stay.
Despite the inconvenience of the lock issue, the property was very nice and perfect for our stay.

Need to improve cleanliness and sanitation
We rented this u it for our family. We got in at around 5:00 pm (checkin time was 4:00 pm). To our surprise there was someone still in the house when we let ourselves in using the security code. This was scary as we did not expect anyone to be there. Turned out it was the cleaner. He said he was running late. We had to wait outside another 15 min for him to wrap up. As if that was not enough the downstairs bathroom was a mess. The toilet had not been cleaned and we ended up cleaning other people’s crap literally.
We also found the upstairs restroom periodically giving out a pungent and noxious odor. We have pictures taken for all of the above.
In short avoid this place I’d you can

This cozy cottage exceeded our expectations. It's much larger than I thought and extremely well organized. Centrally located to many fun activities with remodeled kitchen and baths.

It really is a charming cottage
The cottage has been updated nicely so that the furnishings, appliances, bathrooms, etc are modern. The sheets, towels and pillows are nice quality.
Top-pot doughnuts and Grateful Bread are right around the corner. There is a Safeway grocery store within walking distance as well. The drive to downtown was about 20 minutes so it was easy to access everything.
The only negative is that it was 90+ degrees the first day we were visiting and the upstairs bedrooms did not have air conditioning. The rest of the time the temperatures dropped to the 70's and it was not a problem.

We had a very good time staying in this house. We were able to cook some meals in the kitchen, and there is a grocery store only 2 blocks away. The driveway behind the house was handy. Deciding what was trash/recycling/compost was sometimes complicated. The neighborhood was quiet.

This charming house was a perfect fit for our family of 5 (3 college age sons, my husband and myself). Two of the boys had the upstairs bedrooms, one boy had the main floor bedroom, and the downstairs was a perfect master retreat. The house has charming older character (we used the fireplace every night and some early mornings!), but has been recently updated beautifully in the kitchen and bathrooms. The entire house was spotlessly clean. Beds were all very comfortable, bedding and towels that were provided were very nice quality. The deck out back is perfect for relaxing or grilling, in a lovely, quiet, residential neighborhood. There were lots of touches to make our stay more comfortable--full size washer and dryer in basement(with detergent and softener provided!), water bottles, coffee, and microwave popcorn were waiting for us on arrival.Convenient, secure locks and easy check in, check out process. Nearby coffee, doughnut shop, and Safeway--all within easy walking distance. Close to UW, and not far from I5, with access to all metropolitan areas. We will definitely stay here again when travel takes us to Seattle! Thank you for this lovely property!

This is a nice property. It was clean and well taken care of. The location id good being only 2 miles from the LINK. We could easily park at the University of Washington LINK station and take the light rail into the city. The house is a bit small as should be expected from this era. Only one person in the kitchen at a time, but two good rooms for the kids on the second floor, a room on the main floor and a room downstairs. Overall, very satisfied.
