We had a great stay at Pamela’s home in Seattle. Let me start by saying we booked before it had become apparent that the Pacific Northwest would be hit by record high temps this summer. We worried we would regret not having AC. However, it got into the upper 80s during the day and we never even needed a fan inside.
The mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The small kitchen area met our needs with coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, fridge, and bottled water. Pamela left great coffee, an assortment of teas, yogurts, and energy bars, and other little food gifts. The backyard is a wonderful refuge — quiet, serene, comfortable seating, and of course the rabbits and chickens mentioned by others.
Those wanting a bunch of unique restaurants and boutiques within a short walk might be disappointed here but those are available a short drive or train ride to the north in Columbia City. We loved Seward Park for walking and Pamela steered us to a beautiful short hike in Deadhorse Canyon that was very close (walking distance to the trail head).
Though the street is a dead end, there are steps at the end that take you down to the lake. There is a small public park/beach right there.
We found the property description accurate. Check-in and check-out was easy. Pamela was the type of host you want — readily available, but not in the least intrusive.
