Vintage house in quiet neighborhood
Kirsten L. from Appleton, Wisconsin recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in October, 2009
Our family of four had a great time staying in Phinney Garden Cottage. The house was comfortable and well-appointed. The only thing missing was clocks in the bedrooms. We ended up buying an inexpensive one for the upstairs bedroom as the kids couldn't sleep without one. Would stay again if we get back to Seattle.

A Pleasant Neighborhood Experience
Robert P. from Moylan, PA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in September, 2009
It was cramped for sleeping 5 adults, and needs a second bathroom. We loved all the other amenities, however. Front and back porches are wonderful features.

Phinney Cottage, 6-8 August
Yasmin B. from Croissy sur Seine, Croissy sur Seine recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2009
We had a wonderful stay in Seattle at the cottage. The location is great, close to shops, restaurants, parks and a very easy drive to downtown Seattle. The cottage itself is very well equipped and comfortable for a family of 4.

there were a few things about the house that were a little dangerous for our 2 toddlers. both screen doors were torn and there were very loose boards on the porch and bathroom floor. other than that it was a good stay.

Good for a couple or small family only
A guest from Asheville, North Carolina does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2009
Other properties in Seattle would suit our desire for a pleasant stay better. This one did not work well for us as the upstairs was completely unusable for anyone - including a visiting grandchild. Therefore we had one person on the couch in the living room and an adult and a child in a bed. Way too inconvenient for the price.

Summer in Seattle
Stephen C. from York, PA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in June, 2009
The Phinney Garden Cottage was a great place to stay. Second floor is an attic like space where you must watch you head.Greenwood Car Show was held the weekend we were there and provided an extra entertainment bonus. Cottage is close enough for lake, park and city walks and very quiet at night to rest up.Grandma, grandson and two parents did quite nicely for the week.

Great Stay
A guest from Burlingame, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in June, 2009
Great place to stay and a perfect location. Ideal Northwest craftsman cottage.What's bad? Owner lives next door and will appear out of nowhere to water garden...kind of too much. Bathroom celing and upstairs ideal for those under six feet in height.A few key things needed repair.

Barbara W. from Jim Thorpe, PA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in May, 2009
We did not spend much time there, only to sleep and eat breakfast. I found it disconcerting to see so many notes stating that if we didn't do this or that correctly, we'd be charged $50.00 hr. for not sorting the trash properly, etc......that was not welcoming to me. It seemed like you just wanted to collect more fees for this and that. Believe me, I was glad to hear that we left it in proper condition. I felt like I had to clean or I'd be charged $50.00 hr. for having a piece of lint left on the floor so I did clean and hopefully, left it almost spotless. I doubt if it took the cleaners much time to clean after we left.Our coffee pot never worked, but we didn't charge you for the coffee we had to go and buy. However, when we called, there was a new coffee pot that day which we greatly appreciated.

Home away from home
A guest from Tahoe City, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in May, 2009
Phinney Garden Cottage was a dream come true. We stayed 5 nights in May, had beautiful weather, and loved the garden! The cottage is in great shape, and had lots of character. The space is comfortable and charmingly decorated. We made great use of the kitchen and found it equipped with everything we needed. The barbecue was excellent as well. We loved the neighborhood, and enjoyed being on the ridge with a view east and west. The local shops and restaurants are great! Such easy access! Bus line to downtown super convenient. Parking easily available. Easy freeway access, close to Ballard and Fremont and Green Lake. We couldn't have asked for more. Very very tall people (over 6'3") would have a hard time with the shower, but my brother managed, and he is 6'1". All the beds are very comfortable, especially the pull out couch. Our experience was better than perfect.

Excellent alternative to a hotel, esp for families
A guest from Highland Park, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2009
Loved the neighborhood and enjoyed staying in the cute little cottage that was very "Seattle". Great coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Upstairs room is GREAT for kids, and the place has nice outdoor space. This is definitely a cottage and not fancy, but clean and tasteful and great for a more comfortable stay than would be possible in a cramped hotel room. We would stay here again if in the area and would highly recommend the cottage itself for families, and the neighborhood in general for anyone.

Phinney Garden Cottage had it all!
Robyn L. from Philomath, OR recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in December, 2008
We couldn't have asked for more comfort in a home away from home. As a couple with teen kids, we needed a convenient, private retreat while visiting relatives in Seattle. The Cottage gave us walking distance to family, all the amenities of Phinney Ridge including the excellent Beauty College located 10 blocks North. We especially appreciated the thoughtful, simple furnishings within this ultra-clean house. The upstairs bedroom is tight, but functional for kids. We will be back.

I could not find all the recycling bins at one house and none at the other. (We rented two houses this time.)It was a very minor complication. This was the second time I have rented from the agency and everything was really perfect.

Wayne E. from Arsta, Arsta recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in July, 2008
We had a very pleasant stay and our twins (6 year olds)enjoyed having the attic/secondfloor to themselves. Nice yard with covered porch and lush landscaping etc. Nice neighborhood with fun restaurants, pubs and cafés. I have already recommended the cottage to a couple of friends. Clean linens, nice beds, complete kitchen and fun bathroom with clawfoot tub etc..

perfect size, great location
A guest from New York, NY recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in June, 2008
I banged my head too many times in the upstairs second bedroom, but it was perfect for our infant daughter. I'd put shades on the windows upstairs, and get a real cutting board that is large enough to be truly usable. Otherwise everything else was really great. We loved the price, location, and the look of the house, especially the front porch and light-filled kitchen.
