Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Great location. Loved the are and was peaceful

The location was super convenient for exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. It had everything I needed and was very cozy. While it was close to the freeway, you could barely notice it while inside. I would definitely recommend this home for someone who wanted to get a feel for life in Seattle!

House was ok and clean.no driveway parking which we werent aware if until the day. Location is extremely loud at night, we didn't have any internet/ tv for the first 4 or 5 days.Advertised as sleeping 4 but there is only 1 bed and the other was a blow up mattress that deflated over night.Really recommend bongos and red mill for a feed.Vince was very quick at replying to all emails

The house was so cute!! It was well taken care of and very clean. It was chilly, but we turned on the heaters and it didn’t take long to get warm and cozy.

This was a tremendously disappointing stay. We moved in with two dogs, including an 8 week old puppy, hoping this would be a refuge between a number of cross state moves, health issues, and new employment. Between the construction happening, the lack of basic household goods, the rundown aspect of the house in general (holes in the walls, exposed electrical from defunct HVAC equipment, peeling paint etc) and the extreme proximity to a very loud highway we were pretty on edge over the first week but were willing to stick it out because of the logistical pain of moving. However a week into our stay we were treated to the absolutely disgusting experience of someone power washing the house with unsealed windows and doors, spewing a misty stream of filthy water all over the living room, entrance vestibule, and bathroom hallway. We were forced to move out of the Vrbo completely, received no compensation or consideration from the host, and were forced to go 12 rounds with VRBO support before receiving a refund for the remaining days on our reservation. In short, A for VRBO support finally figuring out the gravity of the situation and F- for this host.

I come to Seattle a couple times a year to visit family and booked this property for 9 nights because of the location and based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I didn't have the positive experience noted in other reviews. The photos show a nice well-manicured front which didn’t accurately convey the foot high weeds I had to walk through to get to the front door. The interior was clean but the furniture was tired and not comfortable. I experienced multiple occasions where the outer door latch stuck in a locked position and I couldn’t access the house without having to contact the property owner. Other issues: a number of things falling apart or not working properly (such as the shower handle which had to be repaired by a handyman, mini blinds, the outer door handle, spotty internet, insufficient fans). The claw foot tub seems like it would be a sweet touch, but it’s awkward to shower in and there’s no place to put your toiletries other than the sink which requires you to open the curtain and get water all over the floor. Also the noisy street directly next to the house should not be underestimated. Even with the provided earplugs it was a restless sleep each night. I won't stay at this property for my any future trips.

Stay was good

We booked this based on proximity of family and the Woodland Park Zoo. House is represented nicely on the website. However, Highway 99/Aurora Ave is quite literally in the backyard and traffic noise is 24 hours a day and horrendously loud. The house itself is comfortable and clean.

Wonderful

Charming one bedroom unit walking distance from a huge park and a delicious coffee shop. I drove my two golden retrievers to visit friends in the area and this was the perfect home base for our stay.Easy instructions to access the property and a great local guide was provided when I checked in for details about close points of interest

We needed a place to stay for some appointments at Harborview, over a weekend. The house was so clean and easy to get to. The only negative we had is the proximity to loud traffic on Aurora,

Very happy with the house and location. Easy and quick communication with host.

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.

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%.

We had a very nice stay at this little cottage - it's in a great location nearby Green lake, with nice walking and restaurants/coffee shops nearby. Cottage itself is very nicely setup and is very comfortable - we had a great stay - highly recommend
