Our stay with Julie was wonderful! We were elated to have air conditioning at this property, due to the unseasonable heat wave. The Garden Cottage has so much wonderful natural light, with windows and skylights everywhere. We had the most restful nights and were able to relax for half of a day when we were exhausted after hiking. The location of the Garden Cottage is perfect for those who want to explore Seattle, without having to stay in the downtown area. Columbia City was also wonderful to explore, with a lot of great restaurants, parks, and stores nearby. We felt very welcome here and Julie did a wonderful job providing suggestions of what to see/do and where to dine. Also, Hot tub! Who wouldn't be happy to use a hot tub after a long day of hiking... perfect for my aching muscles or just to relax! Lastly, Julie's yard is amazing!! You can tell she has put a lot of heart into her landscaping and it was much appreciated.
