About this property

Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

  • Clean and updated quaint cottage wedged in between Green Lake, Woodland Zoo, and Phinney Ridge. This is an ideal place if you are looking for a place to enjoy walks around the lake and quickly moving in between the Green Lake neighborhood, Phinney, Fremont, and Ballard. This is an ideal place for two coupled adults, a family of four, or if you're looking to work remotely with access to a one gig fiber line. Due to the unit’s location next to a main avenue, there may be potential street noise.

This property worked perfectly for our family with a small infant and two small dogs. The place has some character but is very clean and is in a great neighbourhood that felt much safer than others closer to downtown Seattle. The unit gets a little warm when it’s hot out but two large fans are provided which helped a ton. Comfortable, cozy, convenient, and Vince is an organized host, so much so that we didn’t need to contact him at all. Overall, as a party with very specific needs, this was a great option for our family. Highly recommend if you are traveling with young ones or small dogs.

The location was super convenient for exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. It had everything I needed and was very cozy. While it was close to the freeway, you could barely notice it while inside. I would definitely recommend this home for someone who wanted to get a feel for life in Seattle!

Perfect dog friendly vacation

Charming one bedroom unit walking distance from a huge park and a delicious coffee shop. I drove my two golden retrievers to visit friends in the area and this was the perfect home base for our stay.Easy instructions to access the property and a great local guide was provided when I checked in for details about close points of interest

Cozy near downtown

This very cozy and comfy upstairs but still ground level suite was perfect for our little weekend stay. We were very plased with the location and the clean inviroment provided. Would stay again 100%.

Nice getaway

We needed a place to stay for some appointments at Harborview, over a weekend. The house was so clean and easy to get to. The only "negative" we had is the proximity to loud traffic on Aurora,

Super Clean but Horrendously Loud

We booked this based on proximity of family and the Woodland Park Zoo. House is represented nicely on the website. However, Highway 99/Aurora Ave is quite literally in the backyard and traffic noise is 24 hours a day and horrendously loud. The house itself is comfortable and clean.

House was ok and clean.no driveway parking which we werent aware if until the day. Location is extremely loud at night, we didn't have any internet/ tv for the first 4 or 5 days.Advertised as sleeping 4 but there is only 1 bed and the other was a blow up mattress that deflated over night.Really recommend bongos and red mill for a feed.Vince was very quick at replying to all emails

Jan and Dave

The property was easy to find, pleasant appearance from ou, and parking was easy. The interior was clean and the kitchen was modern. It took a little while to warm up the baseboard heating because it was a cold night. But we were comfortable.

Green Lake cottage

House is an older home,darling and the right size for only one or two. The heating is individual (older electric space heaters) so rooms are hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. No heating for kitchen area which was uncomfortable. Located next to a busy freeway(in back of home) be prepared for noise at night and early morning commuters to city. Overall, it’s a safe, decent location to Green Lake, and walking distance to good restaurants. Wish the manager would’ve been more flexible with a late check out.

I come to Seattle a couple times a year to visit family and booked this property for 9 nights because of the location and based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I didn't have the positive experience noted in other reviews. The photos show a nice well-manicured front which didn’t accurately convey the foot high weeds I had to walk through to get to the front door. The interior was clean but the furniture was tired and not comfortable. I experienced multiple occasions where the outer door latch stuck in a locked position and I couldn’t access the house without having to contact the property owner. Other issues: a number of things falling apart or not working properly (such as the shower handle which had to be repaired by a handyman, mini blinds, the outer door handle, spotty internet, insufficient fans). The claw foot tub seems like it would be a sweet touch, but it’s awkward to shower in and there’s no place to put your toiletries other than the sink which requires you to open the curtain and get water all over the floor. Also the noisy street directly next to the house should not be underestimated. Even with the provided earplugs it was a restless sleep each night. I won't stay at this property for my any future trips.

Great little house to stay at if you don't mind the 99 noise. My wife and I are use to background noise like that. The location is what sells it. Easy to get to anywhere in the North Seattle area, and taking the dogs on a walk around the neighborhood that's full of charm. The house has a great sized kitchen and bathroom and a comfy couch in the living room. The bed was nothing special but it was very clean.We didn't use the filtered water because we noticed it needed to be cleaned. Other than that, it was a good experience
