This fully furnished “tiny mansion" is has tons of vintage Seattle charm incorporated throughout. Located on a residential, tree-lined street, the Carriage House is perfect for a romantic weekend or family getaway. Exceptional design features include old growth and reclaimed cedar ceilings, vintage doors, clam wood mantle and high end kitchen and bath finishes. An efficient heating and cooling system will ensure your complete comfort year-round.
The two-story Carriage House is located on our property, tucked neatly behind our home. Thoughtful fencing and landscaping provide as much privacy as any of us city dwellers can expect. There is a private garden and outdoor dining area for your enjoyment. The Carriage House is accessed via a driveway with off street parking.
The Carriage House is stocked with assorted board games and a lending library to keep you entertained on those evenings you wish to tuck in early. The TV (with cable, Netflix and streaming options), reliable wifi and Bluetooth speaker will round out all of your entertainment needs.
My husband and I had three nights to enjoy this little gem in Ballard. You will want for nothing if you are lucky enough to also stay. Virginia has generously provided great toiletries, kitchen and food items, laundry detergent, and more. It is comfortably furnished with a cabin-y feel, enhanced by the little gas stove heater, dark wood trim, and antique doors, making everything attractive and solid feeling. At the end of their driveway (exclusive to you) it nonetheless feels very private and is super quiet. While there are lots of windows, the natural light is not great for reading, so I second another reviewer's suggestion for a lamp by the couch. Seattle restaurants are NOT cheap, so a recommendation is Maggie Bluffs, a casual but good restaurant at the marina (near the cruise lines), at the bottom of Magnolia bridge. Tricky to find but worth the trip and tables always available. Thank you Virginia for creating our sweet home away from home! We had a great stay :-)
A great stay
Wonderful cottage. Felt like a home away from home. Great attention to detail throughout the cottage. Will definitely return.
Another great visit to Ballard/Seattle. We love this property - it's so quiet yet so convenient to fun activities and restaurants.
This back yard cottage is perfect. Every imaginable convenience and amenity. Very quiet. Sustainable everything. Easy access with off-street parking.
Lovely little home, very functional layout and beautiful build quality. The bed is like a cloud - I’ve never slept so well in a stay-away bed. We hosted family for brunch and Virginia, the host, brought over a leaf for the table and an extra chair. Parking spot off the street is a great perk, too. The neighborhood is single-family homes and sidewalks - getting hard to find in Seattle. We walked to the park that overlooks Shilshole marina to work off the cinnamon rolls we grabbed from Piccolino’s bakery for the brunch. Great restaurant for dinner, as well. We would like to just move in. ;-)
This home is just as it appears in the listing...it is peaceful and perfectly located! In our opinion, the Ballard neighborhood is one of the best parts of Seattle...we enjoyed the easy access to local restaurants, breweries, and attractions. If you're wanting to spend time sightseeing in Seattle, you don't even have to get on I-5. There is a quick backroad drive that gets you to the Space Needle, Pike's Market, etc. within 15-20 minutes. The home was supplied with everything you could need to cook there. The home is comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our 10 day stay and would certainly recommend it!
This was an amazing experience. My gf and I stayed here on a getaway weekend. The host went above and beyond to make us comfortable and have an amazing time in Seattle. This is one of the best.
This cottage could not be more cozy and functional. Absolutely the best vrbo we’ve stayed at. They have a pillow bar!! Looking forward to returning.
We had an amazing quick trip to Seattle and could not have loved the carriage house more. So clean, welcoming and cozy - the perfect home base for exploring the city!
I LOVED this property. Every detail in the cottage is thought out in anticipation of what a guest might need or want. The decor is done so well with a nautical theme that is fun but extremely tasteful. My local friend wishes she could live here instead of her apartment. I will definitely come back and wish I could stay longer this time! Thank you
No detail was missed in preparing this lovely carriage house. The neighborhood is a beautiful walking area. We will be back .
This lovely rental checked all of the boxes. Clean, updated, private cottage. Appreciated the equipped kitchen, extra plush towels, laundry within the bathroom. Zoned split heat/ ac units. Perfect for two people. Also robes and spa slippers included and a selection of bed sleeping pillows soft to firm! Enjoyed our stay!
There are just too many wonderful things to list about this property but to name a few...the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, off street parking is available, snacks, coffee and other comforts of home provided, communication with Victoria was excellent and to add to all of that, the cottage is just so lovely. We would definitely check for availability next time we're in Seattle!
This is our favorite place to stay in Seattle. It’s in a lovely, quiet neighborhood, yet is walking distance to vibrant Ballard, and an easy drive to downtown and many other fun Seattle neighborhoods. The cottage is cozy and very well appointed, and off street parking is a nice bonus. Communication and checkin/checkout were completely smooth. Highly recommended!
