Welcome to your private Ballard retreat!

We had a wonderful stay at Cole's place. The house is clean and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. There is a designated secure parking spot on the driveway. We would stay again if we visit again.

Perfection! Amazing communication. Every detail thought of, so thoughtfully furnished, so clean! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Cole!!

Cole is an excellent host. The house is super cozy, well appointed and very efficient in kitchen living space, sleeping, and bathroom size. Everything in the house was labelled and clean. Cole left us a little welcome gift of wine, chocolates, and fresh eggs - so we felt like we were home away from home right away - would definitely recommend !

This place was great! Beautiful secluded property and super clean. Hosts were super responsive. Would absolutely stay again!

Darling 1 level home with a wonderful garden and outdoor seating area.

Excellent! Comfortable stay with everything we needed. Responsive host, adorable house. Thank you!

The house was clean and in a lovely neighborhood. The host was responsive to any questions we had.

Great neighborhood

Excellent area within walking distance of shops, etc with good amenities. Would definitely stay here again

Very nice house, pleasant neighborhood, and super clean.

Wonderful stay and very comfortable. Home was very clean and kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. There were lots of nice touches throughout, including a nice welcome card and thorough home/neighborhood informational guide. Located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood close to lots of restaurants and shops.

Location and accommodations were wonderful! Super cute neighborhood and the house was charming. Very clean and exactly as described. Bedding was comfortable and the persons touches in the welcoming book and throughout the house were great. Will definitely be back!

The owner is super sweet. The house is adorable & clean. Will definitely stay again!

Cole was so great as a host, very responsive and willing to work with us on timing adjustments. The house was super cute and worked great for our needs. The off street parking was a big plus. Highly recommend!

The house is so perfect for your pets, so ADA compliant! I spent a month here recovering from major surgery and I was very impressed with how well the hosts took care of me, even putting a ramp in the front to get over the couple of steps. There is a shower chair in case you or your family might need that. And the hosts are so kind and willing to stop by at any time to help out if needed! I really appreciated the fenced in yard for our furry friends. And it’s really just a lovely home to spend some time in Seattle. Ballard is the best neighborhood to be a tourist in. It makes you feel like you are just one of the community. There’s a plethora of good food within a minutes walk or drive everywhere you look. I can’t say enough good things about this home!

Fantastic location - quiet, easy walk to downtown Ballard, great for running options. Great value for a very clean home with all the necessary amenities. Would book again!

The host was wonderful, the house immaculate, and we were so comfortable and pleased with everything. The host included so many additional ammenities and we felt incredibly welcome!

We loved our stay at Ballard Hjemsted! Check-in was super easy, and Cole was great to communicate with before and during our stay. Our children were delighted to find chocolates waiting for us. The house was spotless and had everything we needed — even Band-Aids when our daughter got a paper cut. The location is perfect: easy access to downtown Ballard and close to supermarkets and a fantastic bakery (Larson’s Bakery). Our dog loved the yard and the quiet streets for walks. We would definitely stay again!

Property was very welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Great place for a family to stay and would come again.

This is a very charming two bedroom house. Very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and nicely appointed. Great neighborhood and location in the north of Ballard section of Seattle Cole is an excellent host who clearly has thought through the needs of his clients. He made us feel very welcome. His communication was proactive and clear. He was very attentive to our needs to ensure an excellent experience. We were very happy with Cole and this property and would recommend to others without reservation. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Cole!

Our host (Cole) was very welcoming. The place was clean and open/large enough for my family of five. The best part was that it was an 8 minute walk to my son's home nearby. And we really appreciated the rental's interior set-up --- with one bedroom & bath on one side of the place and the other two bedrooms & bath on the other side. (Worked well for my other son and his young family to have their own area.)

The host had the house decorated for Christmas and left out little Christmas treats for us. The house was lovely and the petfect size for us. We would happily stay there again.

Excellent place to stay if you want a totally accommodating stay. One of the best parts of the city as well. Would definitely stay again.

Great house! It was perfect for 6 adults.

The house was comfortable and charming and well supplied with amenities

The house was so cute comfortable. Cole was AMAZING! Best host I've ever met. Will definitely make it a point to rent from him again. Thanks for everything!

A great pet-friendly home in a great neighborhood. Close to everything from restaurants to grocery stores. We had the best time. The house was clean and well stocked in every way. The host left fresh flowers and was very responsive when we reached out. 100% will stay here again!

Very well stocked, easy parking, close to every event we wanted.

Our stay was fantastic, the home and property exceeded our expectations. The host was very available and helpful. Highly recommend this place for your Seattle visit. Off street parking is a very nice perk not often seen in the area.

I would totally recommend this rental and already have! Pet-friendly, great front yard for your fuzzy friend to run around in along with super clean while still permitting pets. Great to have the ability to do laundry there with kiddos, close to shops and nice area to walk around in.

Wonderful home base for our Seattle vacation, thank you so much!

This house is hands down the best vacation rental we've had in Seattle. Cole has done a wonderful job of stocking the house with everything you could possibly need. Everything was just perfect, we come to Seattle often to visit family, we will definitely stay here again! Thanks Cole!

We were absolutely enchanted with accommodations, the neighborhood and how clean and comfortable our stay was. Our host Cole was receptive and prompt. Great suggestions for dining and adventures Highly recommend this location and we would most certainly return again and again.

Fantastic experience all around. This home exceeded expectations, right down to the smallest of details (soft towels, plenty of pillows, lovely hand soap, etc.). We especially loved the private yard. We didn’t have our dog with us, but she would have been delighted! For anyone with kids, there’s a great playground in walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at Cole’s Ballard cottage. The house was very clean and the neighborhood is lovely and quiet but close to lots of fun things in Ballard, including a nice neighborhood park and a soccer/baseball field. Cole was very pleasant to deal with and left lots of helpful information. Checking in and out was very easy. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great house! The master bedroom has a door that sends in a ton of light if you like to sleep in. But its vacation so it didn't bother us. Or you can just sleep in the other rooms. Super quiet neighborhood and great to just walk around. Also the neighborhood cat Freya was my kids favorite.

This home was great for our trip to Seattle. The Ballard and Loyal Heights area is absolutely charming. Gorgeous flowers in everyone’s yards and makes for lovely evening strolls. The Red Line to downtown is a few blocks away, so it was really easy to use public transport and avoid driving in downtown Seattle and finding parking. Groceries and restaurants are also walkable! Highly recommend this property to explore Seattle and it’s surrounding neighborhoods.

Great house, absolutely beautiful and sparkling clean. Plenty of towels, HOT water in the showers, washer and dryer. Kitchen well supplied for cooking, and gorgeous outdoor area to enjoy the cooler Seattle weather. Loyal Heights/Ballard is our fave area to stay. Easy 10 minute walk to Larsens - my favorite bakery of all time. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, a great park, and public transportation. Host was communicative and helpful. We would absolutely book again.

We were visiting Seattle to meet up with friends. The property Cole had was as advertised. He was responsive with questions. The house was clean, quaint and had everything you would need for a stay. We really enjoyed our time and would certainly recommend this location to anyone visiting the Seattle area.

This is a beautiful home in an established neighborhood. The space inside is modern with obviously careful thought given to comfort, lighting and a generally welcoming feeling. The inside space is very open and careful attention to detail is obvious. The outside space is fenced and adorned with beautiful greenery (as is this neighborhood) and as comfortably arranged as the inside. Simply put, everything is high-end and welcoming at the same time. The host (Cole) has made the entire check-in, check out process a breeze. They are easy to contact, very responsive and offer some great practical tips for navigating Ballard and Seattle in general. Five star 100%. Great place to stay!!Will stay here again.

Amazing! The host and house are amazing! Being greeted by fresh flowers, chocolates and a welcome card was a wonderful way start our stay. Everything in this home is perfect!

My son will be reviewing and he absolutely loved this bungalow. Clean, spacious, comfortable, quiet, great neighborhood. We will definitely use again when in Seattle

I've stayed a so many rentals in so many locations over the years, and this one is by far the best experience I've ever had. Cole was wonderful and easy to reach, very clear communication and so thoughtful. The house is lovely, very clean and comfortable, with everything needed available. Beds are comfortable, very nice bedding and plenty of towels, kitchen has everything you need as well. The yard is wonderful to relax outside especially if you have kids with you. There are also several great parks & grocery stores within an easy walk. Thank you so much for hosting us, we had a wonderful visit and were so comfortable!

This home surpassed our expectations. The large yard provided ample privacy and a great space to enjoy the outdoors. The home was very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies and essentials. Impressed with the host’s attention to detail — we really appreciated the small things like good quality toilet paper and hand soap, portable fans in each room, and accurate labels on the kitchen drawers and cabinets. Off-street parking was very convenient, it was a relief to not have to worry about finding parking. One thing to note — if you are sensitive to air quality, there is a fireplace in the living room that has a pilot light that does not turn off, so you may need to open the windows for ventilation. Overall our stay was a great experience, would stay again!

We had a small family reunion along with our pups. The enclosed yard was spacious and perfect! The house was super clean and fully stocked with extra blankets, towels, pillows and very comfortable! Location was prime! And a driveway for convenient parking.Cole was incredibly attentive to any of our needs or requests. I definitely will stay here again! within 15 minute
