Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous, leafy area. We didn't want to leave!
The cottage is still brand-new and is stunning in every detail. It's basically a complete tiny house built to the highest standards with the best materials.
Colleen and Mark have put so much love and attention to every little thing.
We loved specifically the wooden floors, the wall colour schemes and decorations, the huge comfy bed, the quality linen and soft cushions, the high-end kitchen, the bathroom tiles and fittings as well as the fact that there was air conditioning.
Even the coffee machine and tableware are high-end products and make you feel special as a guest. They didn't cut any corners, it's impressive.
The location is perfect as it is close to Green Lake (a 5 minute walk), where you can go for a walk, a run, a swim, a bike or even a little paddle boat trip.
But even when not heading to Green Lake, the neighbourhood with its colourful houses and abundance of trees and friendly people makes you feel instantly at home.
Also, the cottage is only a 10 to 15 minute drive to downtown Seattle, very affordable using uber if you want to avoid driving there yourself. But frankly, we wouldn't have minded to stay in the neighbourhood without going anywhere else.
Colleen & Mark are wonderful hosts. They were warm and welcoming, a pleasure to talk to. We benefitted from their many café and restaurant recommendations for Seattle, and they were even happy to share with us their favourite places in Portland.
We feel truly blessed to have been able to enjoy such an all-around marvellous travel experience.
