Built in 1905—one of the oldest houses in North Beacon Hill—this cherished 2BR, 1BA charmer welcomes up to four guests to a relaxed city sanctuary. The light rail is just three blocks away and, from there, it's a quick jaunt to downtown Seattle and SeaTac Airport.

The space
You get private access to the entire upstairs of the cottage, including the delightful front porch. A long-term tenant occupies a MIL unit in the basement, which has its own separate entrance and living space.

My idea of the perfect Seattle day at the cottage: Choose from the light morning snacks I provide or prep pancakes in the much-loved kitchen—it’s the reason I bought this place!—while listening to birdsong through the sunny skylight. Take your coffee/tea (also provided) and a book from the stocked library to the front porch. Then catch the light rail, just a three-block walk away, right into the heart of downtown. Eat dinner in the city, or come back to Beacon Hill to try one our neighborhood favorites, like OAK for beer and a burger. Then head home and crash with a movie in the den or the living room with a book before hitting the hay in one of two comfortable bedrooms—one queen and one double.

I carefully chose all the details at the cottage to banish the “stranger in a strange land” feeling. I want guests feel instantly relaxed, like they’ve decamped to the home of a close friend, no matter how long their journey took to get here.

Guest access
My cottage is their cottage! All spaces, including the front porch, are all yours. There is a permanent tenant occupying the MIL suite in the basement, who shares the front gate, but otherwise tenant access is totally separate.

Other things to note
Increased Cleaning Fee: If your stay is more than 2 weeks or you have pet staying with you, the cleaning fee is $200 ($105 in addition to the standard $95 cleaning fee.)

Marijuana: Note that it is legal to possess small amounts of marijuana in Seattle. This means that you may smell the smoke from a next-door neighbor or a passer by. If this will be a problem for you, you might want to consider a different accommodation. Also note that smoking of any kind is not permitted in the cottage or anywhere on the property.

Flight Noise: The cottage is sometimes under the flight path. I don't find it to be much of a distraction, however, if you are highly sensitive to noise, the cottage might not be the best option for you, though it is about as quiet a neighborhood as you'll find in a city.

Neighborhood highlights

North Beacon Hill is a budding, funky and community-oriented neighborhood with cute bungalows, good restaurants, coffee shops and parks. For a fabulous Italian meal, hit Bar Del Corso and if burgers and good beer is your thing, you MUST go to Oak. For breakfast, run, don't walk, to the quaint and delicious Baja Bistro.

Lives in Vashon, Washington
I'm a Montana farm-raised, Seattle city-dweller who spends time traveling and working remotely. I love to wander and travel as much as I love "home." My heart is content in the kitchen with an apron on and music playing. I can't say no to boogie boarding, campfires, a trip to the island of Kauai, hula hoops, big happy dogs or vintage barware. I believe that our collective acts of hospitality can and do make the world a better place.
