My husband and I are Western Washington locals but are a ferry trip away from Seattle. We needed a place to stay with our family not far from downtown for an event we were attending all weekend. Hotels are impractical for us with 3 teenage boys so we knew we needed a house that could accommodate us all. Joel and Analisa's house did not disappoint! The architecture was absolutely amazing. You won't find another house like this.
The temperature was upper 80s and 90s all weekend and the house was bright with all the amazing windows and yet because it is also shrouded in trees, it cooled down quickly at night and wasn't stifling hot like other homes could be in that kind of temperature. It was EXACTLY as the pictures shown. It gave us four comfortable bedrooms (my middle kid LOVED the loft). It fit us all comfortably and gave us a wonderful home-base for the weekend. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The master bath is amazing! Not to mention, there's still two more bathrooms in the house. Just what a family of 5 needs. Joel and Analisa were so hospitable and provided us with breakfast goodies (most of which we didn't even have time to enjoy because we were so busy). We felt welcomed and almost as though we were staying at a friend's home. Their house notebook provided so much information for the local area and we enjoyed getting to play tourist in the neighborhood. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We'd highly recommend Analisa and Joel's home. It is unique and comfortable with more than all the creature comforts you need in a home away from home. And I didn't even mention all the legos which just added an element of fun to the house, and to our weekend! You won't regret staying here! :)
