Where to start? This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here, but it most certainly is not just the second time we've tried! We come to Seattle often, but have been unlucky in scoring SkyCabin again until just recently. The neighborhood (Eastlake) is wonderful, with good walking opportunities, and nice little restaurants and coffee shops nearby. There's a great little market/wine shop that requires a picturesque little walk to get to. One day my husband and I walked around the whole of Lake Union, and Gillian offered up some great tips. We'd take that walk again in a heartbeat. Now, the place itself! The view from SkyCabin of Lake Union is extraordinary, as it's unimpeded, and well, it's just a gorgeous view! The living room, kitchen and yoga/office have the same view overlooking the lake, with large and beautiful windows. The yoga/office is off a deck, by the way. Man, we loved that deck; I just wish it had a BBQ. I love the big, interesting and colorful rug in the living room, the large statement lamp, the cool and comfortable couch, and all the fun and thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen is quite tiny, but oh-so-charming. It's incorporated into the living area, so those magnificent views are right there to be had. The bedroom has the same view if the doors to the living room are open. The bedroom is cozy and a little darker, but it has nice windows to open up for a cross-breeze. Off the bedroom is a bathroom with the best shower/tub combo (all beautifully tiled) with multiple heads. And heated floors! While that wasn't something we had to have in the summer, I can imagine how delicious that would be on a cold and rainy day. Something else that I loved about the place was the lighting. There were lovely lamps all around, and dimmers on overhead lighting. This creates a warm and cozy environment, and makes it so much more visually interesting and appealing. And the light-filtering shades that can be pulled down on all the lakeside windows are a great idea, as it can get warm up high in that neat old house. There is no A/C, but Gillian provided a great fan, and it cooled down nicely at night. Skycabin feels like what its name implies--that you're in a cozy little place up high. The warm birch veneers and skylights help make it feel this way, as well. And as for Gillian and Tony--they're so great! They're friendly and informative, easy-going, and quick to respond. We so enjoyed our interactions with them. Skycabin is a place we hope to return to again and again.
