About this house rental
Make memories and unwind in this quiet retreat, tucked among the trees in a private garden at the end of a cul-de-sac. Set on a third-acre lot with more than hundred local species of plants and trees, furnished with brand-new mid-century modern furniture, 2 gas fireplaces and a large deck, this house is a great option for a family or 2 couples in search of a private respite.
Inside, discover an open layout with two gas fireplaces, a well-equipped, full kitchen, a dining area with a table with space for six, a living area with a 55" smart TV for streaming your favorite channels, a second living room to enjoy the sunset over the garden and a large desk to catch-up on work or writing.
Outside, fire up your gas grill and enjoy a summertime cookout. Lounge in the hammock or in the Adirondack chairs for some peaceful moments in the garden. For a more active time, you’re welcome to use the public tennis court located just 100 feet away from the property. The tennis court is on the grounds of Lake Forest Park Elementary school and accessible to the public during school days after 4pm, or during week-ends and school holidays. There is also a playground for your little ones and basketball courts on the school grounds, available after school hours. Take your bike and hop on the Burke Gilman Trail just 2 miles away from the house, for a scenic ride along Lake Washington shore all the way to downtown Seattle (south) or the wineries in Woodinville (north). Lake Washington also offers multiple options for kayaking or paddle boarding.
Centrally located, you'll be able to explore both the wonderful Pacific North West nature and best Seattle attractions. Many hikes, skiing and snow-shoeing available in the winter within 1.5 hour drive. Snow shoes available at house for guests’ use.

Absolutely perfect! This was such an amazing trip for my family. The house was exactly as described and we loved all of it!! So peaceful, so well kept and so comfortable! I cannot thank these hosts enough for their thoughtfulness! Couldn’t believe it when we arrived to a lovely note and bottle of wine from a local winery. PLUS, they checked in with me a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed!!! Perfection. Thank you!

This was a great house for a family to spend time together. It’s a little older but it’s clean and the deck and gardens are to die for! The host greeted us with a bottle of Chateau Ste Michelle and it just got better from there. The host even sent an extra air conditioner when it got hot and a neighbor to help us install it. This house is a 13 minute drive to the train into Seattle and far enough north that getting to ferries to see other islands is easy. I highly recommend!

The house was perfect for our Seattle area biking trip. We had pre-planned several routes that were all trails - easily reached by a short car ride. The garden area table was very pleasant after the weather warmed. There was plenty of room to easily visit. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses and utensils.
Five women - 60+ all agreed the house worked perfectly.

We recently completed a 6-night stay at this property. The house has all the amenities and is very spacious. The appliances all look new and work perfectly. There is a good-sized backyard all around and we enjoyed sitting at the table and watching the birds. There's plenty of privacy and being in a cul-de-sac, it's quiet and peaceful. There are 2 full very clean bathrooms and the showers were great with nice water pressure. There's a fully equipped kitchen and an Albertsons grocery store just down the road. Downtown Seattle isn't too far away and the Boeing factory and museum are about 10 miles North.
Melinda and Christian are great hosts and were easy to reach and contact on the couple of occasions when we had questions, etc. Overall, our family enjoyed our stay and we would love to stay here again on our next visit.

This home was perfect for our friend gathering. It had plenty of space for conversations, the kitchen was well supplied with high quality plates, bowls and silverware, and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. There are nice outside areas that we didn't use due to time and the cool, rainy weather. The garden is amazing and so beautiful!!! Thank you for making this visit easy for us!

We loved our stay. There were 6 adults for Christmas week. We were able to cook a holiday meal in the well appointed kitchen. If we needed anything or had any questions, the owners responded right away. And bonus, there is a pickle ball court next door. We used it and had a ball! Highly recommend.

It exceeded our expectations! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
My favorite part was their yard and outside space! It is unbelievable! A friendly neighbor walking her dog visited with us and mentioned it was designed by an arborist who ensured something was blooming all seasons of the year. Honestly, it looked like a yard from a magazine. There is also a nice corner wrap around deck to view and enjoy the beauty of the garden and some seating within the garden.
The house was decorated very cute with consistent coloring and theme. It was immaculate, items labeled well, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. Plenty of towels, paper goods, use of cooking spices, etc. The beds had wonderful matresses on them! I have back issues and can not sleep well in any bed except my own and slept well in the bed here! It is obvious tje owners take good care and pride of their property.
The owners responded immediately to any questions I had were super friendly and nice.
Needless to say, when we come back to Seattle, we are planning our trip dates around the availability of this home! Our trip just would not have been the same at another property!

We visited the area for a small family reunion and this house was perfect for us. It was beautiful, with charming gardens surrounding the house, very quiet and private. Melinda was very quick to respond and was easy to communicate with.

The hosts were fantastic! One of my favorite things about this house was having morning coffee on the fantastic deck and patio and watching the Hummingbirds!

Despite reading the reviews and looking at photos, I never expected the yards to be so lovely. Whenever I could, I ate and read outdoors or looked out the many windows. The surrounding neighborhood is very pretty, the house is super comfortable and very well-equipped, and Melinda and Christian are fantastic. They responded quickly to messages. Everything we wanted to visit was within 30 minutes yet the house feels secluded and is quiet. I would love to return.

We have stayed at quite a few VRBOs and this one has to rank near the top. Perfect location in North Seattle suburb. House is immaculate, well appointed, very private and has an amazing garden. Feels like the house is in the middle of a park. Grocery and restaurants near by. Easy access to all areas of greater Seattle. Melinda answered questions and provided clarification really quickly.

The property has been lovingly maintained and updated to an authentic mid-century feel. It has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The beautiful gardens surrounding the house make it feel very secluded yet it’s close everything. We enjoyed the outdoor dining areas. Melinda was wonderful to deal with and very quick to answer any questions.

This property was phenomenal. We were greeted from the moment we exited our vehicle with the sweet scents of flowers in bloom. The yard is an amazing garden oasis, and the owners have even gone to the trouble of labeling many of their numerous varieties of plants. The home is tucked into a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, directly next to a school. While we did not end up having time to enjoy a game of tennis, it was a neat perk to have courts right next door. Inside, the decor perfectly compliments the mid-century mod vibes of the house, which is in great condition. The kitchen was well-stocked and met our needs perfectly. The beds were comfortable, and having space to spread out made this a very relaxing stay.

This is a lovely home on a quiet cul-de-sac. It has all the expected amenities including a well appointed kitchen and 2 gas fireplaces. We were there over Thanksgiving and cooking in the kitchen was a breeze. I bet the gardens are beautiful in the Spring.
Thank you

A nice, quiet house with a beautiful garden. Only downside: requires a car to get anywhere you want to go.

My brother’s and I do a yearly football trip and we happen to stumble upon this home. OMG!!! This house was so inviting and beautiful inside and out. Also, the homeowners were wonderful and communicated with us through the whole stay. Thank you for hosting the brothers football trip. This was definitely needed and just a pleasure. Thanks again.
