We stayed in Joyce Garrity's Orange House for five days during a typically wet Seattle June. What a cozy, wonderful place, full of books, comfortable beds, books, a well appointed kitchen, books, direct TV (five adults watched the Game of Thrones finale in the lovely window and skylight lit upstairs bedroom suite, while the two kids slept downstairs in one of the bedrooms), views of the Space Needle and lots of books.

We had a sit down dinner for nine, chicken roasted over root vegetables cooked in the gas oven. What a great place. I would return in a heartbeat - if we need a place to stay in Seattle with room for the whole family this will be where we go. Great location for getting around Seattle, close to the U district, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Fremont (don't forget to visit the Troll).
