This little cottage is delightful! About the size of a hotel room, with everything you need. Sweetly furnished with a collection of vintage prints and pottery, it is a welcoming, private and unique space. The lush garden pathway in gives such a sense of quiet and remove from the city.

Nan greeted us warmly in person and with a sign on the cottage with our names. A nice touch. We knew we could seek help with anything if needed, but the main house across the garden did not feel intrusive in any way.

The bed was remarkable. It was one thing I'd worried about as I love a very firm mattress. It is described as soft in other reviews - and is, yet in such a way (memory foam topper) that I absolutely loved. Big surprise for me. We slept great and I even took naps to get some more. The bedding was perfect for the season (flannel sheets) and down comforter with extra warmth as needed. Honestly, I came home and missed 'my new bed'!

The bathroom is a bit unique - but having traveled in Europe and South America, the one open room for shower, sink and toilet was not a surprise. Just took a bit more planning and a bit of wipe up after the shower.

The rain on the skylights was soothing. The cruiser bikes were fun to ride several miles towards UW. A little tricky to get the bikes out to the street through the path and narrow steps, but worth it! Lots of great Seattle water action along the bike path ride. Vibrant city!

The location is wonderful for exploring Fremont by foot or bike. Easy to go a few blocks to everything. Flying Apron Bakery and Cafe's vegan & gluten free pastries and savory soups, lasagna, etc. is incredible! The Sunday market was fun. Coffee shops welcome and you can linger for hours. The general location is central to everything Seattle, Discovery Park not far, the Ballard Locks, Woodland Park, Ballard district, Greenlake, UW, downtown...all an easy drive without freeway if desired.

As our daughter lives nearby in Ballard, we'll be making this our Seattle nest many times as the years go by.

Thanks Nan!
