Goldfinch House - Scandinavian Modern Near Beaches

Our stay at Goldfinch House was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely book here again! The host was excellent at communicating and was super accommodating! Right after booking we received a welcome email with a pdf file that outlined everything we need to know about the house and included so many wonderful recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. The host even produced extra recommendations for questions that I had. The home is so beautiful and clean. The garden was also very beautiful. We came with 2 small children who loved having the outdoor space. The kitchen is well stocked and the bathrooms had a lot of great supplies, like black face towels and shampoo, conditioner, body soap and extra towels. 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful place - perhaps the best VRBO we’ve rented.

This was a beautiful, very well maintained house. The grounds, especially the backyard patio and landscaping are so relaxing. The kitchen was a chef's dream and well supplied. Leslie was very communicative and easily reached. Check-in was simple as was check out. The house is in the outskirts of the city and in a quiet neighborhood. I will continue to rent here as long as our son lives in Seattle. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the accommodations at Goldfinch House very much! We had 3 generations staying and all felt comfortable. Master bedroom is fabulous. The heated floors in the bathroom were especially nice. Showers were clean and there were plenty of plush towels. We cooked there a couple of nights including use of the gas grill. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious for cooking meals. The appliances are top quality and easy to use. The upstairs sitting area has multiple seating options including a comfy sectional.The house is located in a terrific location in Ballard in a quiet residential neighborhood. However, it is a close drive to groceries, Norway Museum, Golden Gardens, Ballard Locks and restaurants. The only thing to be aware of if you stay here is that the guests sleeping down in the basement will hear lots of the noises above as it has an open stairwell and no bedroom door to close down there at night. It worked out fine with all adults staying there, but we did have to be very quiet upstairs while college students were sleeping in the basement. In addition, the 2nd bathroom that is shared by Bedroom #2 and #3 is a bit tight. We had 4 adults using it and there wasn't much counter space for supplies. However, the shower and heated floors in there are wonderful! Plus, it has a huge skylight for natural lighting during the day. We would definitely stay at Goldfinch House again sometime. The owners were very easy to communicate with and worked hard to make our stay terrific!

I stayed with my family for just under a week and could not be happier with the property, location, and communication with the owner. Leslie has a wealth of knowledge about the area and genuinely enjoys helping guests have a great time. We all fully enjoyed every second of our stay and will absolutely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

The house is very comfortable and well equipped. And it is in a convenient location in a nice neighborhood in a fun part of the city. The only drawback is that for late sleepers the two bedrooms on the main level do not have adequate shades to keep the morning light out.

Unsurpassed attention to every detail! Quality, quality, quality! We cannot wait until we return to this fabulous property with fabulous Hosts!

Leslie, the homeowner, provided excellent pre-arrival communication and greeted us upon arrival to acquaint us to the house and surrounding area. The home is extremely clean, well stocked with every amenity needed, and well appointed. The beds and couches were all very comfortable. The backyard is a wonderful private oasis. The property is located conveniently to everything in Ballard. There is parking in the driveway and on the street. Leslie is very knowledge of the area and was helpful in restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful visit and look forward to returning.

First and foremost, this is the cleanest home we have ever stayed in!! The small cobblestone patio out front is perfect for morning coffee and taking in the cool morning air. The back patio is a private oasis with seating for your entire family. Absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The downstairs media room was perfect for our teenagers to escape and have their own space. The entire home is furnished with top of the line linens and furnishings. If you like to cook, this is your kitchen! Our family came to town for the Taylor Swift concert and to explore different areas of Seattle. We didn’t want to stay in the heart of the city with the thousands of other visitors. This home is located in a quiet, safe and charming neighborhood. There are a number of restaurants and outdoor activities within walking distance. Leslie was like having a private travel guide. She asked our interests and created a list of everything in the area that would meet those needs. It was unlike anything we have ever seen when booking with VRBO. She was genuinely happy to provide us with her wealth of knowledge. It was such a pleasure working with her and made our stay that much more enjoyable. We will absolutely come back to Brian and Leslie’s home for our next trip to Seattle!

Absolutely one of the BEST VRBO rentals we have stayed in!!! Leslie, the host, has ensured all the comforts of home plus many more. The home and furnishings are brand new! The heated bathroom floors were a treat and the beds were super comfortable! The kitchen is overstocked with everything you could ever need/want to prepare a simple or gourmet meal. We made a large Thanksgiving dinner and had every dish, pan, mixer, serving platter, etc that we needed and some (there was even a gravy server). We would definitely stay here again and again! Thank you, Leslie!

House was beautiful and located in a great neighborhood. Gorgeous back yard is a great addition. The kitchen was incredibly stocked......anything you could possibly want! Highly recommend.
