Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Clean and updated quaint cottage wedged in between Green Lake, Woodland Zoo, and Phinney Ridge. This is an ideal place if you are looking for a place to enjoy walks around the lake and quickly moving in between the Green Lake neighborhood, Phinney, Fremont, and Ballard. This is an ideal place for two coupled adults, a family of four, or if you're looking to work remotely with access to a one gig fiber line.

Cozy near downtown

This very cozy and comfy upstairs but still ground level suite was perfect for our little weekend stay. We were very plased with the location and the clean inviroment provided. Would stay again 100%.

Green Lake cottage

House is an older home,darling and the right size for only one or two. The heating is individual (older electric space heaters) so rooms are hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. No heating for kitchen area which was uncomfortable. Located next to a busy freeway(in back of home) be prepared for noise at night and early morning commuters to city. Overall, it’s a safe, decent location to Green Lake, and walking distance to good restaurants. Wish the manager would’ve been more flexible with a late check out.

The property was easy to find, pleasant appearance from ou, and parking was easy. The interior was clean and the kitchen was modern. It took a little while to warm up the baseboard heating because it was a cold night. But we were comfortable.

Nice location but lots of street noise

This is a cute cottage but backs to a very busy road. Lots of street noise. To gain entrance, there is a very small keypad located inside the front door frame which is not easily visible. It took me and my college-aged daughter 15 minutes to locate it, and the owner insisted on texting back and forth instead of calling me (which would have solved the problem much for effectively). Further complicating matters was an older keypad and key lock box on the side door.

1 Week Stay

My wife and stayed in Vince’s sweet little cottage near Green Lake which is just a short walk after you cross Aurora Road. The house was a nice place to use as a base while we took care of our business in Seattle. Everything was clean and functional.

Great little abode!

This property provided just the right amenities for my husband and I on a business trip to Seattle. The communication with the property owner was factual and left no questions hanging in the air. The home was spotless, and adequately stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed many walks in the neighborhood with our 4-legged counterpart. We felt right at home and would definitely stay there again!

cute but noisy

This is a small house with an updated, well supplied kitchen but it backs onto a very noisy section of fast moving, heavily trafficked Aurora Avenue. Auroroa is right behind the pretty trees in the photo. Unseen but not unheard! I got used to the constant noise but it was not a restful experience.

Very Coinvent

Great location for accessing Green Lake , the Zoo and Seattle Center. House was very comfortable and well stocked with everything one would need. The two large fans were much appreciated for dealing with the warm weather we had during our stay. We would consider staying again anytime.

Home next to loud highway

We booked a 4 night stay but left early and booked a hotel for the last 2 nights due to being uncomfortable. We were not refunded (though we did not request) a refund for the last 2 nights. 1) We visited during the 2021 summer heat wave during which temperatures hit the low 100s. We knew the home didn't have A/C but were surprised that there were no fans at all in the home. We requested some fans upon arrival, to which the hosts responded that fans were sold out all over the city. They said they would try to procure one but did not get any to us during our stay. During our stay we drove by several local hardware stores with standing fans for sale outside on the sidewalk just a few blocks away from the home. Amazon, based in Seattle, also offers next day shipping. 2) Due to the heat, we had to keep the windows open at night in the bedroom. Unfortunately, the bedroom is directly on a very loud highway with active, continuous traffic noise throughout the night. The noise is so loud that the host proactively provides ear plugs. We did not sleep well the first 2 nights, and when we found ourselves awake from traffic noise at 3am on the 3rd night, we packed up and found a local hotel instead. 3) We do not feel the listing is accurate for the following reasons: -The listing implies that you have the entire home. This is not true - the home is split into A and B subunits, B being a lower floor. -There is access to a washer/dryer but it is not inside the home, and use is shared with the other tenants. You need to go outside, downstairs and past the downstairs unit to access the laundry. -We strongly believe the listing should mention the extremely loud traffic noise. We have never stayed at a place that actively provides earplugs, so this feels like a lie by omission. Unless you can sleep through loud traffic/truck noises or are OK using ear plugs, we do not recommend staying here. 4) Areas for improvement: -There is a nail sticking up from the kitchen floor in the area near the eating table. It is not visible and very painful to walk over. -Only about half the windows in the home have screens. During the evenings we could not open all the windows to cool down the home. -While the owners obviously have no control over the weather, not providing fans in a non-air-conditioned home during a heat wave is, quite frankly, extremely irresponsible. Continuing to not provide them for days after they were requested, is negligent.

Wonderful location for Green Lake access

I greatly enjoyed the month I spent at this property. My dogs and I walked to the Woodland dog park everyday across the bridges. The unit was well equipped and clean. The traffic noise is a bit loud but that comes with city living I suppose and the owners did provide ear plugs. I highly recommend this rental.
