About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Urban Woodland Retreat, Near the ~UW~, Convenient to Everything

You will be delighted as you descend from street level in a quiet family neighborhood to your garden-level suite opening onto a mature wooded greenbelt along the popular Burke-Gilman trail. You will open your private entrance to find a lovely, roomy apartment, providing two comfortable bedrooms. You'll have to decide whether to sink into the comfortable sofa to enjoy the big screen TV with cable, cozy up before the floor to ceiling windows to drink in the serene view of trees, birds and Lake Washington in the distance, or cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Your guests will relax and chat at the bar while you create, then you can share your bounty at the dining table. You may choose to barbecue outdoors and dine al fresco on your private deck, patio or around the crackling fire-pit.

The first bedroom has a king size bed, huge closet and wall-mounted TV. The second bedroom has an inviting queen size bed, convenient storage and a large window looking out on the wooded garden. This bedroom adjoins the full bathroom with tub and shower, separate vanity with plenty of storage.

You have your own laundry room, complete with front loader, high efficiency washer and dryer. Your suite will always be comfortable, with natural gas heat and central air conditioning. You will enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room. You and your family will always feel safe with your own security system.

Your guest suite is your home away from home, secluded-feeling but minutes away from all the amenities and activities you could want. You have your own covered parking spot steps from the stairway that takes you down three levels to your urban oasis. You will find easy street parking in the uncrowded neighborhood. You are steps away from public transportation, taking the Metro bus to the University District, Seattle Center, Northgate, Ballard or downtown in minutes. The bus will also take you to the University Station for light rail to downtown, the sports stadium area and Sea-Tac airport. You can hop on the Burke-Gilman trail for a walk, run or bike trip to Magnuson Park, University Village, the University of Washington campus, or points beyond.

Special note: We have recently completed the second unit in our home for rental, now available! Please check out VRBO #3930539, https://www.vrbo.com/3930539, if you need space for more guests.

Wonderful experience!
Upon arrival, Ron met us and gave a walk through of the location. Everything was clean, updated, and well stocked with everything we could need. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, no worries with finding parking, and there was a trail within walking distance. Kid friendly as well. We would definitely rent again!

Lovely urban oasis
Wow, this place is amazing. Ron, the owner, takes great pride in creating a welcoming environment both inside and out. The bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked, the fire pit and s'mores kit are a great touch, and the mature plants on the patio are divine!

Ron, the property owner, was extremely hospitable. The property is a gem.. A little oasis.
We had a very peaceful stay in well appointed accommodation with use of the garden that is meticulously looked after. Great location too with easy access to Burke Gilmore trail and other amenities nearby. Highly recommend the property for travellers wanting comforts of home away from home.

In my 25+ VRBO stays, this is the nicest place ever. It's beautifully furnished, as a very attractive backyard, and the kitchen has everything imaginable.

I would give it 6 stars if I could
This place was over the top clean and well appointed. It lacked for nothing. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. We would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. One caveat, there are a lot of stairs to the lower unit so anyone with mobility issues might be challenged.

We came back!
This is our second time staying here - and we loved it just as much the second time as the first. The location next to the Burke Gilman trail allowed us to cheer on the half marathoners from the backyard - we were there to watch our daughter run the race. Everything has been considered and is impeccably kept. Thank you for another lovely stay.

This was our second time staying at this property. It is just as advertised with a comfortable king bed and plenty of room for my wife to do her morning workout and for me to work. It is well equipped with high quality amenities and Ron is very responsive. We will be back to stay here again.
