We are thankful that there are hosts out there like Alasdair who open up their places for people with dogs. Thanks so much for that!
I really loved the upstairs area with the beautiful deck and picnic table. Loved the beautiful and comfy sofa and the cool wood slice table. Loved the rustic woodstove and the stained glass window! Very quirky and interesting place. As also noted by Alasdair and many other reviewers, there are very steep steps leading upstairs on the inside, and also of note there are different levels of flooring downstairs between each room. We took our dog upstairs by going around and up the outside steps with her as she could not get up the steep steps inside but was definitely manageable doing it that way. Alasdair provided thoughtful amenities such as the wood for the woodstove, coffee, tea, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. The kitchen was stocked well enough with the pans, dishes and utensils needed to be able to make and serve omelets in the morning. He also provided ample clean towels for our stay.
We were given detailed instructions for check-in so check-in went very smoothly.
Really loved the landscaping and privacy the place has. One would not expect that kind of privacy in Seattle so it was nice! We took a walk down the driveway and loved all the neat touches. There is also a nice fenced area so we could let our dog off the leash for a bit in there.
