This was a property that was either loved or hated, according to the reviews. I would like to bring a more measured view. Both my partner and myself were looking forward to staying at this property. The uniqueness of the location and the eccentricity of the property sparked our interest. Our initial view was mixed, a lot of detritus around the property, with a feeling that it was unsafe. After spending some time there, we were charmed by the eccentricity of the house. Yet, the longer we spent in the house, the more it felt that the selling of the property of it being 'eccentric' was hiding a simple lack of investment. The property needs serious investment to bring it back to its original glory. It was trying too hard to be charming and eccentric... but holes in the ceiling, a tub that had seen better days, mice and other fauna finding home inside, random ratty shoes being left around and broken windows, stretched the definition of 'charm' and 'eccentricity'. My partner liked it, his comment was, "at least there was a modern toilet, and we were not doing our business in a hole in the floor. " This summed up the stay. Would I recommend it? Not sure... for one night, maybe. If you are fit enough to negotiate the 30 steps up from the parking bay. But if you are planning on spending more than one night, maybe look for another place. Or be prepared to accept that 'run-down' does not mean 'charming' or 'eccentric.'

Location is perfect - quiet and tucked away but a short walk from beaches, the Water Taxi to Seattle, and restaurants. It is a tiny, rustic cabin with a tilt and several stairs - just be aware! It was perfect for us since we enjoy the outdoors and camping. The hosts provided lots of information and were accessible if we needed them. The cabin was clean and had the necessities. If we return to Seattle, we'd stay here again!

The Cabin was an Over priced Dump. Bathroom smelled of mold and dimly lt. Steps to entering to the cabin were covered with weeds or blackberry vines. Deck was dirty with piles of junk under it. The sofa/couch was dirty. The entry slider lock was broken making it difficult to lock the cabin. Parking was difficult for anything large than a small car. Windows would not stay open and the cabin was dimly lit. We enjoyed waking up to the screaming kids ever morning in the house next store. We also asked the owner for a check out of 11:00 rather than 10:00 am that was rejected. You would think that for the high price we payed, the owner, they would have allowed an extended hour to check out. The only good thing good about the cabin was the location being close to Alki Beach. Hopefully Vrbo will remove this place from their listing. This was by far the worst Vrbo place we have ever stayed.

I mean awesome quiet spot. Quick walk to water taxi, but also super quick drive to downtown.. SO many restaurant options. Almost too many. Loved the spot. Wish it was a little cheaper, more comparable to other spots. But would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful stay! It was cute and clean, perfect for what we wanted. Great place to unplug and just be together. Felt like we were in the woods but were close enough to hop on a ferry to Seattle! Hopefully we will get the chance to stay again!

Secluded and rustic,

Enjoyed the best of all worlds. The cozy, rustic cabin is tucked back in a wooded area on a hill just above Alki Beach in West Seattle. Salty's and Marination restaurants are easily within walking distance. King County Water Taxi to Pike's Place Market picks up passengers at Marination dock. Easy access to interstate when driving to Tacoma or Seattle. Owner very responsive to questions. Loved it.

It was what I want. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Being a short distance from the walking trail and the water taxi made it perfect. Will stay there again.

Cozy retreat close to everything we needed! Felt like we could get away, but still close to everything. Our dogs loved the bird and squirrel watching! Very peaceful spot. Eight minute walk to the water taxi to downtown. Great coffee shop eight minutes away too. Enjoyed walking along the boardwalk and taking in the downtown city views. Thanks for sharing this special place with us! We had a lovely and restful time.

Exactly as described. Well equipped for modest cooking. Really cool location. Definitely recommend.

We stayed here during the winter while snowing. The cabin was cold when we got there, but we started the fire and baseboards and it got warm and cozy quickly! Loved the location. It felt like we were in the middle of the woods with a gorgeous view of the woods out the front windows. This is an older cabin, but very comfortable. Loved that we could walk to Alki beach and Salty's restaurant. The covered parking was nice but a little tight/tricky to maneuver into. Loved our stay.

Check in was super easy! Check out was simple! It was clean. Cozy. Perfect for our week stay ❤️❤️ KY✈️

Partner and i reconnected long walks, by the ocean, playing board games, sitting on deck with amazing trees, etc and just relaxing experience We should've checked availability of ferry but still had a great Thanksgiving! Thank you!

Absolutely magical treehouse-esque cabin in Alki Beach. The seclusion is wonderful and the views incredible if you love a forest vibe. Even better, the waterfront and water taxi are just a short walk downhill which makes the location perfect for a quick pop downtown. 100/10 would recommend!

Was hoping for a cabin with solitude, despite being in the city….this is it!

Exactly as described. Great communication. Great location. Heater warms up me than yours expect lol. Will be staying again

Quiet,quiet, quiet! Peaceful, no through traffic. No distractions. Thanks again for a wonderful trip.

Very cute and private. Fantasy location.

How can I describe? My husband and I live in Florida and have a love for Washington that’s hard to describe. Yearly we rotate Washington vs Oregon The cabin? My husband says it’s a step back in time of Laurel Canyon as a early musician The water taxi ( yes, walking distance) to Seattle was perfect. Why not? We grabbed a Kenny Chesney concert. Came back on the water taxi and talked about life on the porch Grab breakfast at the cafe by the water taxi. Breakfast sliders and a delicious Bloody Mary The cabin. It was the little things. Sit on the porch and need a blanket? Yes, taken care of. Hot cup of tea? Yes! They had Yogi tea with assorted flavors There is a small candle on the table ( with lighter) to bring on the porch. Again, little things The bed. Perfect Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven Dan and Barb Cook

my partner & i came here for a long weekend to get away from the hustle & bustle of los angeles. this adorable, cozy little cabin, nestled 10 minutes away from the water taxi offered us the perfect respite where we could recharge while still giving us quick & easy access to downtown seattle. the hosts were communicative & accommodating. check-in & check-out were a breeze. we had such a lovely time here, we will definitely be coming to stay again in the future!

Great location to Seattle. Walked to the water taxi to get to downtown Seattle. Saltys had amazing food! Would stay again.

We had a great time at this tiny tree house! Lots of charm, and perfectly located out of the way but close enough to reach everything we wanted to! Absolutely recommend and would stay again!

We really enjoyed the "Tiny Tipsy Cabin". It is very quiet and secluded. It is literally a 5 minute walk to the water. Very cool.. Our only request for improvement would be to have a more workable shower curtain. We would stay here again if in the Seattle area.

The basics were lacking, such as cleanliness and screens on the windows.
