    Good fenced yard so our dog could run around and nice neighborhood for walking. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking/dining utensils and other supplies. Premises were clean and well-maintained. The king bed was supportive and comfy. Our host was great and quickly responded to any questions we had.

    The host thought of everything. The kitchen was fully stalked, down to the having single serve creamers in the refrigerator and plenty of tools to cook all meals at home. The bathroom and bedrooms were also fully stocked, with anything you could need. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Super convenient location to Ballard (walking distance) and I cannot say enough positive things about our host! The home is also dog friendly (and the hosts love dogs too!) with a fenced in backyard. We stayed in this home in transition between selling our house in Seattle and moving out of state. We lucked out with this absolute gem of a home during a very stressful period. If/when we return to the area, this is where we will stay.

    Quiet location. Clean house. Numerous electrical outlets. Comfortable beds. Nice bathroom. Appreciated the coffee supplies and Washer/Dryer in the rental. The stairs were fairly steep and ackward at the top with a low ceiling, yet we 60-year-olds managed it. Plenty of room for luggage in the bedrooms. I know the house is marketed to allow pets and since I don’t have pets, I did notice a pet odor each time I entered the house. So if you love and/or bring your pets, this is a wonderful rental.

    The Ballard Farmhouse was the perfect place for my one week stay in Ballard. The house is conveniently located, generously sized and very well equipped. The big back yard feels like a private oasis. The hosts are right next door. They are welcoming and very responsive. I feel fortunate to have found such a great place to stay.

    Loved this cute little home for our 3 week trip to Seattle. I was working remotely, and enjoyed the use of the little upstairs office space. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and set up. Had all the amenities I would hope for in a rental and more. Home is in a great location walking distance to Ballard shops, not too far from Golden gardens. If we ever have another long trip to Seattle would hope to stay here again!

    My golden retriever and I had a lovely stay at this Ballard cottage. My dog loved the fully fenced yard and I loved the well-appointed kitchen and other thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Would definitely stay again.
