Cozy Home Near Lake Union & UW

Escape to our charming home with remodeled kitchen & bathrooms, 2 queen bedrooms, and a stunning Lake Union view. Steps from the Burke Gilman trail, close to shops, restaurants, UW, and Gas Works Park. Perfect for unwinding after city adventures or lake fun.


The space
Welcome to our cozy retreat with views of Lake Union! This isn't just a rental; it's our cherished home, where we spend part of the year. Managed directly by us, it's not a hotel but a comfortable, inviting space where guests can experience true home living.

Our home is located in Wallingford, a great walkable neighborhood with restaurants, shops, UW and parks all within easy walking distance.

Our two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home features two queen beds (one with a memory foam "sofa" bed), ensuring a restful stay. Relax on the front porch with lake views or the back deck overlooking the garden.

Our kitchen is a cook's dream, fully stocked with everything you need to create an amazing meal. There are small appliances such as a microwave, espresso / coffee maker, blender, toaster, and a hot water pot. We also stock items such as coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, spices and oil. Additionally, there are herbs and berries planted around the house that are available for our guests to enjoy (usually from late spring through summer)! There is a barbecue out back as well.

Inside, unwind in the comfy living area with a flat-screen TV (Prime & Apple TV included), Blu-ray DVD player, Bluetooth speaker bar and WiFi. Enjoy a selection of books and board games as well.

Parking is easy with space for one car in the driveway, plus an EV charger and free street parking.

Sleep soundly on quality bedding in both bedrooms, each with access to a bathroom stocked with Gilchrist & Soames amenities, towels, and more.

Whether you're here to explore or relax, our home offers the comforts of home away from home.

Wonderful Stay

The house was exactly as described! The location is amazing with a nice view of the water from the living room or porch. Every little detail is perfectly thought out! Also, the hosts were great communicators! The house is incredibly comfortable and quiet!

Wonderful stay in a cozy area of Wallingford

The house was just as pictured/described - it featured a view of Lake Union from the front porch, had upleveled features in the house like heated floors and a rain shower in the bathroom, and tasteful design throughout. Great communication with Stina and I loved the recommendations for things to do and places to check out in the area captured in their book. Highly recommend, and would love to stay again when I am back in Seattle.
