Cottage vacation rentals in Ballard, Seattle

Loved the location! Stunning views… the home was very cozy and warm!

As an Airbnb host myself, I’ve developed a pretty critical eye when it comes to the places I stay. I notice the cleanliness, the attention to details and the decor. The little things the host does to make a guest feel noticed and valued and whether or not they can strike the balance between friendly and available but not intrusive. Susan and her BEAUTIFULLY decorated place checked all the boxes. She very obviously puts her heart into hosting and goes above and beyond in her role. Personalized video instructions, warm cookies and a chalk welcome note… luxurious bedding and decor and an impeccably manicured yard were some of my favorite touches. Thanks, Susan, for a truly special weekend away.

Another amazing visit with my kids and our dog. Susan and Chris are incredibly helpful. They came down within a couple of hours to spray and put out wasp traps, after some wasps started hanging out near the hot tub. It took care of the problem right away so we could enjoy a good soak while looking out at the sound. It's clear that Susan and Chris really want everyone to enjoy their stay as much as possible. We'll be back next spring break!!!

We’ve been to North Bend a few times, but this has been one of my favorite stays. The home itself was great, with everything you could need. The location is great, we didn’t need to drive to get to anywhere we needed in North Bend. Walkable to a couple parks for the kids. We loved our stay.

Stayed at this house with a few friends for the weekend and had such a lovely time. Serene views of the passage from a heated deck and hot tub, and spacious living quarters for everyone to have separate sleeping quarters.

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The space was very cozy and relaxing. Loved waking up to lots of sunshine from the skylight and hearing all of the birds chirping while enjoying a cup of tea and reading on the balcony. We enjoyed morning walks around the quiet neighborhood and loved the short walk down to the beach to catch the sunset. The kitchen was great for cooking some delicious meals together and loved using the bonfire and the small yard for some yard games. Lots of great short day trip options, we loved our visit to Finn River Cidery and planned our route to the Airbnb to go through Bainbridge for delicious fish & chips and baked goods. Vicki was very responsive and provided great recs!

This is (at least) our SIXTH stay at Oberon and it never disappoints. So many wonderful improvements over the years and we always depart already pining for our next visit.

The house and location were wonderful! Very clean, and a beautiful view! The space was comfy and cozy, and everything was there to cook a nice meal (except the food, of course). Loved the walking trails, and the easy access to the beaches. We had a great time and even scheduled another short visit for August! We highly recommend this home.

This is going to read as if I'm a paid advertisement but I assure you, I absolutely am not. What I am is a late 1900's born individual navigating all of the whirls and swirls of living life in these seemingly not-so-sane times with a partner, a Queenager and "puppy-cat." (IYKYK) Eli & co. welcomed us, accomodated us, and uplifted us. The space is exactly as it appears but the value comes from being made to feel safe and protected, and shown what is the true Spirit of Aloha. I cannot say enough or speak highly enough to convey our experience. THE nicest, most helpful people and a gorgeous, fun, cozy space. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay...and want to come back, FACTS!

We stayed for two months. Jon and Colleen were great hosts -- responsive, friendly, and attentive. The cottage looks in the pictures just the way it is. The amenities were very nice and we were provided with everything we needed. We highly recommend staying at this backyard cottage.

Great place for our family. Comfortable beds, clean. Location is nice right next to the park.

The Seaview Cottage was a perfect stay for my husband and I while exploring Seattle. We chose to rent a car for one day away but otherwise walked and used public transportation. We found it very easy to get around. We had everything we needed to whip up a few delicious meals at the cottage and the view was icing on the cake! We would not hesitate to book again and definitely would recommend others book it, too! We felt it was a great value for the money. Thanks again for a wonderful stay Sarah!!

Foster's cottage is our go-to place to stay for our visits with family in the area. The cottage has everything you'll need and is an easy 10-minute walk to a shopping area that covers all the basics like supermarkets, drugstores and restaurants. Cozy and well appointed. We'll be back.

What a dream of a place. One of the best Airbnb's we've stayed in, and we travel a lot. If you are looking for a peaceful/romantic/beautiful spot, this is it. We felt completely at home. The view is spectacular. The bed was super comfortable, and the apartment itself had everything we needed. We were in town for a wedding, and David's place was the exact tranquil retreat we needed. Thanks again!

thanks rosy and Salman, everything was great!

Great stay in Elena’s cottage. Close to everything we needed and easy access to the freeways. Location was great, quite, and very private. Elena was very responsive and handled everything quickly and efficiently.

I never met or spoke with Kenton on phone or in person. However, I know the area well so needed no help. The place was most adequate, a little short on comfortable outdoor spaces, but most walkable to shops and restaurants in one direction, waterfront paths, benches and parks in the other.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights mid-week to work remotely and visit some Seattle friends. The backyard cottage is in a great location, very walkable to anything you want...coffee, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, park, etc. It was clean, functional, and super cute (love the pink fridge!). The bed was comfy and the linens felt high quality.

The beach side gem was the perfect location for the wedding we attended at Kiana Lodge. Cabin had a great deck to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon wine. Hot tub was a bonus besides the beautiful views. Paul was quick to respond to questions and provide local recommendations.

The cottage is super cozy and has a great set-up. And Robin was the best host ever! She took care of me while I was unexpectedly very sick during my stay. She was caring and responsive and went above and beyond in a tricky situation for me. I will always be grateful! And I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a private, special, beautiful place to stay in Seattle.

Lovely, full equipped Airbnb with everything you need for a short or long stay. Our family really enjoyed our stay on the Island and Debra was the perfect host.

This is a beautiful beach bungalow in a peaceful scenic location. The house had been tastefully decorated and the views of the water is incredible. I would recommend this space for families with older children or parties of adults only. The layout of the house is not well suited for families of 4+ with children under 6. Since this is an older home, the ceiling height and door frames are very low so it may feel very cramped for taller guests.

Great place! Watched sea lions every night, while we enjoyed the hot tub. Beautiful views and a nice quiet area.

Completely charming in every way. The scent of fresh lilacs made it even more magical. Slept like a baby in a comfortable bed with all-natural linens. Sweet dog who loves to play fetch. Would certainly stay again.
