If you're looking for an experience with far more character and at a much better price than the typical area hotel, this cottage is a great choice. The accommodations were perfect for a couple, with a charmingly decorated open setting of bed, sitting area, and full kitchen, and a separate bathroom with shower and dressing area. Best of all (in summer, at least), there's an outside terrace with views of Lake Washington with a table that made a great place for meals. The immediate neighborhood of Pritchard Beach has some gorgeous old houses to admire, and then there's a very culturally diverse neighborhood a few minutes away with restaurants and markets. Rob, the host, was very welcoming and interesting to talk to. We'll definitely go back the next time we're visiting the Seattle area.
