I would totally recommend this rental and already have! Pet-friendly, great front yard for your fuzzy friend to run around in along with super clean while still permitting pets. Great to have the ability to do laundry there with kiddos, close to shops and nice area to walk around in.

This house is hands down the best vacation rental we've had in Seattle. Cole has done a wonderful job of stocking the house with everything you could possibly need. Everything was just perfect, we come to Seattle often to visit family, we will definitely stay here again! Thanks Cole!

We had a great stay at Cole’s Ballard cottage. The house was very clean and the neighborhood is lovely and quiet but close to lots of fun things in Ballard, including a nice neighborhood park and a soccer/baseball field. Cole was very pleasant to deal with and left lots of helpful information. Checking in and out was very easy. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience all around. This home exceeded expectations, right down to the smallest of details (soft towels, plenty of pillows, lovely hand soap, etc.). We especially loved the private yard. We didn’t have our dog with us, but she would have been delighted! For anyone with kids, there’s a great playground in walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy Seattle stay.

We were visiting Seattle to meet up with friends. The property Cole had was as advertised. He was responsive with questions. The house was clean, quaint and had everything you would need for a stay. We really enjoyed our time and would certainly recommend this location to anyone visiting the Seattle area.

Great house! The master bedroom has a door that sends in a ton of light if you like to sleep in. But its vacation so it didn't bother us. Or you can just sleep in the other rooms. Super quiet neighborhood and great to just walk around. Also the neighborhood cat Freya was my kids favorite.

Charming neighborhood with easy access to downtown Seattle.

This home was great for our trip to Seattle. The Ballard and Loyal Heights area is absolutely charming. Gorgeous flowers in everyone’s yards and makes for lovely evening strolls. The Red Line to downtown is a few blocks away, so it was really easy to use public transport and avoid driving in downtown Seattle and finding parking. Groceries and restaurants are also walkable! Highly recommend this property to explore Seattle and it’s surrounding neighborhoods.

Beautiful home in perfect location

Great house, absolutely beautiful and sparkling clean. Plenty of towels, HOT water in the showers, washer and dryer. Kitchen well supplied for cooking, and gorgeous outdoor area to enjoy the cooler Seattle weather. Loyal Heights/Ballard is our fave area to stay. Easy 10 minute walk to Larsens - my favorite bakery of all time. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, a great park, and public transportation. Host was communicative and helpful. We would absolutely book again.

I've stayed a so many rentals in so many locations over the years, and this one is by far the best experience I've ever had. Cole was wonderful and easy to reach, very clear communication and so thoughtful. The house is lovely, very clean and comfortable, with everything needed available. Beds are comfortable, very nice bedding and plenty of towels, kitchen has everything you need as well. The yard is wonderful to relax outside especially if you have kids with you. There are also several great parks & grocery stores within an easy walk. Thank you so much for hosting us, we had a wonderful visit and were so comfortable!

Perfect For Any Length Stay

This is a beautiful home in an established neighborhood. The space inside is modern with obviously careful thought given to comfort, lighting and a generally welcoming feeling. The inside space is very open and careful attention to detail is obvious. The outside space is fenced and adorned with beautiful greenery (as is this neighborhood) and as comfortably arranged as the inside. Simply put, everything is high-end and welcoming at the same time. The host (Cole) has made the entire check-in, check out process a breeze. They are easy to contact, very responsive and offer some great practical tips for navigating Ballard and Seattle in general. Five star 100%. Great place to stay!!Will stay here again.

Very private, clean, and quiet

This home surpassed our expectations. The large yard provided ample privacy and a great space to enjoy the outdoors. The home was very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies and essentials. Impressed with the host’s attention to detail — we really appreciated the small things like good quality toilet paper and hand soap, portable fans in each room, and accurate labels on the kitchen drawers and cabinets. Off-street parking was very convenient, it was a relief to not have to worry about finding parking. One thing to note — if you are sensitive to air quality, there is a fireplace in the living room that has a pilot light that does not turn off, so you may need to open the windows for ventilation. Overall our stay was a great experience, would stay again!
