This cottage is magical, from decorative touches and amenities to location and hosts. Every where you look in the cottage are signs of Andy and Betty's thoughtfulness in creating a space for guests to enjoy. The cottage feels like a mini retreat in Seattle. As other guests have indictated, the stairs to the loft are steep and there is airport noise. I took the stairs with care, and the noise from the airport wasn't continuous. I didn't find it problematic. Our hosts provide ear plugs if you need them. However, I didn't need them. This cottage is well located for exploration. I'd stay again.
