Rooftop Aerie - Amazing views, private, immaculate and comfortable home

Private rural retreat near Monroe/Woodinville with rooftop Cascade views, king bedrooms, cozy living spaces, full kitchen, games, work-from-home setup, and room for families or couples to relax in a peaceful country setting.

- Home is exclusively used as a vacation guest house. Registered guests plus up to 3 daytime visitors only.

- Small family/friend gatherings (up to 12 people) permitted with additional day-use fee. Only with PRIOR approval.

- New (spring 2026) KING sized beds in master and second bedroom, and queen in 3rd. New wrap around leather couch (also 2026).

- Please ensure the location is a good fit for your group by searching "Rooftop Aerie" via Google/Apple Maps or similar service before booking. Rooftop Aerie is a rural guest house near Monroe/Woodinville, not an urban Seattle-area home. Guests who want privacy, views, nature, and comfort tend to love it; guests who need to be in downtown Seattle or Bellevue every day should confirm the drive works for them.

- We deliberately offer a lower base rate so that guests of one or two people can also book the house. Therefore we charge an additional fee of $20 for more than 2 guests. When you enter the number guests, VRBO will calculate the cost automatically. Please be honest and honorable... do not have unregistered guests staying the night. If you choose to add guests to your stay once you arrive, let us know and we will pre-approve for the additional cost.

- Accessibility: the house is one story. However, there are two short steps into the house and two steps into the sunken living room. There are no rails for these two approaches. The rest of the bedrooms, kitchen etc are on the same level. There are grab bars for the toilets and shower in 2 of the 3 bathrooms.

- We charge the $150 "host fee" to cover part of the cost of cleaning. We actually pay our amazing housekeeper a MINIMUM of $200 each time to clean and prepare the house. She does an impeccable job. Thus, even if it's only a one-night stay, she still cleans every part of every room in the entire house.

- Our property is rural. We have horses, chickens, and a dog. Also... wild birds, tons of hummingbirds, and from the rooftop patio you can often see redtail hawks and eagles, and even an occasional owl in the evening. We also have a lot of deer and some wild bunnies. We have security cameras in outdoor areas to ensure the safety of our guests. Audio is not enabled near the Rooftop Aerie and footage is solely for security and safety purposes to ensure the privacy of our guests is respected.

- No pets of any kind. Feel free to pet ours. Our well-trained, people-friendly (especially loves kids) border collie is off-leash within our property. This is her job. She is a great outdoor patrol, keeping unwanted animals away. We cannot have her interacting with other dogs at any time for any reason.

- DO NOT choose to book this home if you intend to have an event/party, bring an animal of any kind, or invite unregistered guests to stay.

We strive to be respectful and honorable hosts. Please be respectful and honorable guests. :-)

Rooftop Aerie offers:
• Perfect privacy for three couples.
• A fully-stocked kitchen - coffee maker, tea service, toaster, blender, microwave, oven/stove, bakeware, mixer, ample cookware, dishes for 8, and a breakfast nook. There is a formal dining room that seats 8. Also a propane grill on the porch.
• Living room – new (spring 2026) leather. Comfy chairs, and a spectacular view of the garden and valley. Enjoy the 55in HD smart TV, including Netflix, Amazon, and an Xbox 360 and an Xbox1 with games. Also board games for the family. The propane stove is available for a bit more warmth in the cool evenings.
• AC/Heating System – the home is heated and cooled with a geothermal system, which is one of the most eco-friendly systems.

Grounds - a huge lawn including lawn games, disk gold, chairs on the covered porch, and patio couch set up on the rooftop. The gardens surrounding the house include flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Guests are welcome to enjoy the garden of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Susan has some very friendly hens so if they're laying you can have fresh eggs. She also has a vegetable garden... ask her if you can browse and pick!

The horses are friendly and love treats; just ask to meet them. Please do not visit the horses unless the company by Susan or John.

Walking trails available to guests... just ask. The forest on our 10 acre property offers a quiet, authentic, quintessential immersion experience of the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. Ask Susan and John about edible flowers or plants. For example did you know that stinging nettle can be used to create a delicious spring soup? And the wild berries are delicious.

Events: No parties/events which include more than your registered guests and a few additional visitors. Our neighbors are kind and quiet and asked that we respect the tranquility.

Registering: Please tell us the names and ages of all of the guests who will be staying.

Business use: We welcome guests who are in the area on business. However, we do not allow guests to conduct business on the property.

Additional guests: You are welcome to invite a couple of folks over during the day to visit. However, additional overnight guests must be pre-approved and an additional payment is required. Yes, we mentioned this several times because in the past, some people have allowed unregistered, unpaid guests to stay the night. We hate being the guest police. So please, just don't.

No Smoking inside: No smoking/vaping/cigars inside at any time. We want to ensure that the home is appropriate for individuals who are sensitive to allergens. Smoking within the house will result in up to $900 cleaning charge. You are welcome to smoke on the lawn or under the covered porch. Please dispose of extinguished cigarettes.
