Welcome to our bright, spacious guest house in Seward Park! A large 2 br/1 ba open floor plan, and all major amenities, this modern retreat has everything you need for a perfect Seattle stay. Relax outdoors in our spacious patio and yard, or go on a biking adventure. Close to Seward Park and minutes drive to Columbia City, you'll have easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, and more! A half-block to the bus line connects you to Seattle's light rail, making exploring the city a breeze.

Our 1200 sqft guest house sits at the rear of our primary residence on a half-acre lot. There's plenty of room indoors and out for vacationers, business travelers, or families with kids. The property is fully-fenced, secured, and private.

We have lived in this beloved part of Seattle our entire lives. After moving into our home in 2012, we focused on raising our three boys and, in late 2022, decided to transform our guest house into a modern retreat. After two and a half years of renovation, we’re excited to share this labor of love with you and hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do.
