colleen is a great host, very thoughtful and easy to work with! check-in was a breeze - the cottage is LOVELY, private and very homey, with a door which opens directly on to a small patio and a beautiful garden.
the vibe is quintessential seattle: wood fences, trees, plants, the smell of fertile earth, and gorgeous both in the sunshine and in the rain. the space has tons of natural and electric light, there were plenty of towels, and the bathroom, kitchen, and overall space was perfectly clean. i really appreciated the allocated parking spot just next to the cottage, which made popping in and out to rest and change between events all weekend very easy.
i also met a few of the neighbors who were friendly and very kind, including one who invited me to pick ripe raspberries right off their plants while i was in town. i was greeted pretty regularly through neighbor fences by dogs, chickens, and even one cat. utterly charming.
i loved my stay here, and already plan to stay again next time i am in town!
