Lake Forbes Cottage

Welcome to your home away from home!

Experience the Puget Sound the way it was meant to be experienced. Privacy and romance of a vacation rental bordering a large greenbelt with a lake. Relax in this serene retreat with nature at your back door yet with the convenience of city living in the heart of Kirkland on the Eastside of Seattle. You’ll get to enjoy your own private space with a bath, bedroom, living area and kitchen in a cottage designed with your comfort and privacy in mind.

Our home away from home is newly furnished and decorated and has proven itself valuable for traveling business, academic & medical professionals, short-term/transitional Seattle stays, vacationers and single or double occupancy on a nightly/weekly basis while visiting friends and family.

Your accommodations include one bedroom with queen-size bed, full bathroom. You have your own kitchen and dining area complete with oven, refrigerator and cooking utensils. Relax on the deck with protected wetlands as your scenery. Cable TV, and WIFI services are available.

After many years living in Seattle, we continue to be awed by the beauty of this neighborhood, its proximity to nature, and its breathtaking sunsets. So, pour a glass of wine, come relax outdoors on the deck, and watch the sun slip behind the beautiful green belt as it illuminates the sky.

DISCLAIMER: For the sake of clarity, please note that we are NOT a hotel. If you like fresh towels every day and need this kind of service frequently we suggest considering a stay in a hotel. We value your privacy and we value ours. We offer a great place at a great price so you can have privacy and a similar experience of living in your own private residence. Along with that comes the responsibility of taking care of your own basic needs. If during your stay you need something reasonable ask and we will do our best to accommodate you. However we have full time jobs and use the income from our rental to subsidize our mortgage, so are not available at all times. We appreciate your patronage and understanding.

    The cottage was very cute and exactly what we wanted. It's right in middle over everything but very private at the same time. Would definitely stay here again.

    I think this is the perfect place for a short time, but not the best for a longer period if your wanting to be able to cook meals at the house. The kitchen is rather tiny( to be expected) so it's not the best for storing food. It was a cute little place, definitely would stay again.

    Cannot say enough good things about the Cottage! My sister and I LOVED staying here. As someone who lived in Kirkland for 24 years, the location is PERFECT -- easy access to everything! And just a sweet-tucked away neighborhood. We met with friends in Kirkland, hung out at Starbucks, took multiple ferries to Bainbridge, Whidbey -- and a day trip to Victoria. The cottage was clean and neat -- no complaints at all! Check-in was a breeze. We felt like we were at home, and I will definitely stay here again. It's a jewel! Thanks, Stefan!

    Everything was great with our stay. Our check in was later in the evening and the host was very accommodating ensuring we had a smooth arrival. Great location and despite being not too far from the highway we heard no noise!

    Quiet, safe neighborhood. The property is exactly as advertised - rooms are clean and bed was comfortable. We didn't want to stay downtown Seattle so this tiny home was perfect. It was only 30 minutes from Seattle and had the added bonus of Kirkland's vibrant water front (Lake Washington) with many restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

    Cute cottage with very soft queen bed, plenty of empty storage, and efficient bath. Heaters and fans were available. Parking was right outside the door on a private lane. Outdoor light for security. We found it easier to back in to the drive as there was no room to turn around. The kitchen had full refrigerator, microwave and stove as well as a coffee pot. Accessories and dishes were limited: 2 bowls so had to wash between salads and ice cream. Only 1 kitchen towel with bleach spots and holes, but it was clean. No consumables such as plastic bags, wrap our foil. In the bath, 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth were provided for a week. Soap was 90% empty. Overall, the place had the minimum and was functional.

    Had a great stay at this location. I Spent the weekend there while visiting family and it has everything you need for 1 or 2 people. Good location, tucked away but still close to stores and freeways. Friendly and responsive manager. Would definitely stay here again.
