I have been taking time, quite often lately, to explore Seattle and the surrounding sites. During this last trip in mid April, my guest and I stayed at Julie's place: The Relaxing Garden w/Hot Tub. We were not disappointed in any way. It is truly a hidden gem that is tucked away in a quiet and respectable neighborhood, in the Columbia City District of Seattle.

Our host Julie was very helpful. She was able to greet us shortly after we arrived and left simple instructions inside our cabin to ensure that everything would be easy for us to use. If we needed anything all we had to do was ask. Communication was mostly via text or through email and she always responded right away. We appreciated this because we could maintain our privacy and so could she.

The pics that Julie has posted are not deceiving in any way. We were in our own world, . . away from it all, . .

Our room was light and airy without being too bright, with skylights that gave it a wonderful energy in the morning when it was time to wake, and the zen-like garden outside added a perfect amount of tranquility while we enjoyed soaking in our own private hot tub.

We more than enjoyed our time here.
