Kirkland, Washington
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.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage, it was very comfortable and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom was provided. We would recommend this location. If ever in the area to stay we'll definitely come back.
Very comfortable cottage with easy access to freeway, everything in Kirkland and surrounding area. Only suggestion: provide more detail about how to use TV!
Very cute place in a beautiful, quiet, and private location. The house was very well stocked and very cozy and comfortable. I worked remotely during my stay and the wifi signal was not the best.
Property was very clean but very basic. It could use some type of wall decor. No lightbulb in entry light by door which made it hard at night. Mattress could be replaced.
Immaculate tiny house in safe quiet neighborhood. Had everything we needed [our kids had washer/dryer]. Comfy, warm, and great WiFi and t.v.. Host couldn't do anything about snowmageddon that screwed up driving, but alternative parking readily available. Excellent communication with host. WE WILL BE BACK!
Plenty of room on a quiet street.
This was the perfect place to stay, close to Seattle, the mountains, and all the stores you need to enjoy your visit. Very private and welcoming. Enjoyed our stay very much.
Walking distance from anywhere you would want to go. Enjoyed walking to the Kirkland waterfront.
This little house was bigger than I expected and on the end of a nice residential neighborhood. As some reviews state it is right next to homeowners house, but the only interaction I had with Stephen was when I got my ML320 stuck in his ditch and he graciously pulled me out with his pickup. Communication was great and he was very cool about my shenanigans as a at best so so driver. I liked the little home, was a bit warm, but for $18 I bought a fan. Close to everything and much less traffic than expected. Overall perfect for my needs, a great hotel alternative, and a FANTASTIC price!!! Will hopefully make it back again in the future!
The property was beautiful and in a beautiful neighborhood. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook, which is exactly what we were looking for. The bed was okay, a little lumpy, and some nights it was hard to sleep because we would hear noises that sounded like someone was trying to get into the little home. But we are alive! It may have just been the wood settling since it was pretty windy and cold and rainy. We were never cold even though the weather got to be 40 and below. Thanks to those great heaters! Definitely reccomend renting it.
