We absolutely loved our stay at Carkeek Retreat. Of all the Airbnb's we've stayed in, over many years, in different locations, etc., this is by far the very best! The description of the place is spot on - highlights include the wonderful kitchen and outdoor space. We've spent many mornings and afternoons sitting outside, enjoying the peaceful garden view and watching all the native birds. Carkeek Park is a great draw as well - in just a few minutes you can be walking on a trail out to the beach on Puget Sound. Donna's place is also wonderfully quiet, so a great place for work, relaxing, reading and restoring. Lastly, Donna is a lovely host who has been both very responsive on any questions we've had as well as helping us get oriented in Seattle (we just moved here from the East Coast).
