This was my first time coming to Seattle and I did not want to be in the city, but I did not want to be to far this place was perfect! It is about a 12 min. drive to downtown Seattle and this was just great, and there are places you can go to eat that are very close to the cottage if you don't want to go downtown. The cottage is beautiful and open, with big open windows that let in a lot of light, and the bed was nice and comfortable. Sarah was a fantastic host very kind and accommodating, and very helpful with everything I asked about for help. When I come back to Seattle I would love to stay here again!
