3 Bedroom Cottage in Portage Bay, Seattle

This enchanting home, is a wonderful place for enjoying your time in Seattle. Part rustic hunting lodge - part romantic cabin nestled in the quaint city neighborhood. Very private, very classy and very fun! This comfortable and well stocked and cared for home is well equipped for all of your needs.
Situated at the intersections of Capitol Hill, Eastlake and Portage Bay neighborhoods which are very central to all Seattle has to offer and a really cool area to call home while you explore Seattle and really get a sense of enjoying city life.
Walk to wonderful restaurants, party at the hip Pine/Pike corridor, watch the sunset from the West side of our location, and the sunrise just down the hill....both within a very short walk. Super quick drive or very short cab ride downtown, walk to U-District, Gas Works Park the Arboretum, Broadway, Madison Park, Volunteer Park, and bike just about anywhere on the Burke-Gilman trail just across the bridge or at the extreme mountain bike course (look up 1-5 Colanade Mountain Bike Park). Jump on a paddleboard or rent a kayak just on the other side of the bridge as well - (Check out Aqua Verde Paddle Club and Cafe). Skiing and tubing is an hour away at Snoqualmie Pass, or you can go wine tasting at Chateau St. Michelle or check out Redhook Brewery in Woodinville. White water rafting is about 60-90 minutes as well. There is a lot to do here!
Families will love the separate spaces on the top floor and main floor, hidden nooks, shelves and shelves of games and toys for ALL ages, enjoy the rustic and comfortable features and careful attention to every detail.
Totally refinished with all modern amenities including Rinnai water heater, gas range, stainless steel appliances, air conditioning, stereo system, high speed internet, cable for two tv's, Nintendo Swtich, tons of movies, games and books.
Sleeps quite 6 comfortably with very comfortable beds with down comforters, wonderful linens and mattresses including a Tempur-Pedic. Two main bedrooms on first level, and space for at least 4 with one bed and a futon and a secret nook on the second floor.
Two fireplaces, full - subway tiled bathroom with chandelier, fantastic modern and rustic lighting throughout. Full kitchen with dishwasher and all of the necessary equipment to entertain, cook and prepare meals or relax and open a bottle of wine and party with friends!
This is a great place that has been enjoyed by families, friends, girls weekends, guys weekends, wedding parties, and extended stays. The courtyard and location of the house give this place real added private feel in the middle of the city.
Our guests LOVE our city chickens! Plan to take a few eggs for breakfast as our guests, or just get to know the friendly girls.
It really is a great place to enjoy a vacation or get away! Let me know if I can help you plan anything, or if you have any questions that I can help with. We love this place, and really want you to be able to enjoy your time here too.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The house was very clean, had everything we needed to feel at home, and the beds were very comfortable. What really set this experience apart, however, were the incredible hosts. From the moment we booked, they were thoughtful and attentive, but they truly went above and beyond when they learned that my daughter was injured skiing. They were so kind and accommodating, even moving things around to make her comfortable and able to navigate in a wheelchair. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Summary: My family and I(wife and 2 boys 3 and 6) stayed few days for a little getaway. Didn’t need much communication back and forth with host, but before showing up we had pretty much all information we needed. The boys absolutely loved the chickens and wanted to look for eggs as well as feed them every day….eggs were delicious! House is in a nice neighborhood area and didn’t have to travel more that 20ish mins each way to locations, one of them being downtown. Little courtyard area in back was fun to be in and let kids burn more energy off they had a little cornhole style game but kinda built for golf chipping but had beanbags as well which were definitely used…super plus that since I took golf clubs out of car for trip and didn’t have for the golf version I asked about a club and was handed a wedge within mins and got a few swings in which felt great. I would absolutely look at this place when going to Seattle again and would suggest it to anyone looking at a place to stay. Thanks again!

Summary: Look no further— this cute, cozy Carriage House is perfect! The house is beyond adorable and a nice mix of historical meets modern day. Everything with our stay was absolutely wonderful! We really enjoyed all the extra touches Jill has done and the amenities she’s added to make the house so warm, inviting and convenient. We also loved visiting with the chickens and collecting eggs each morning! The location is perfect and close to so many things. We definitely will be back to visit the Carriage House again!

Summary: We had a lovely time staying at the Carriage House! It was cute, clean and had everything we needed for the week. The kids loved the upstairs loft area and got really into a Judy Blume book they found. It was also realky fun collecting eggs from the chickens and sitting out back having cocktails in the yard. Thanks Jill and Dick for being amazing hosts!

Summary: This cottage has everything needed. Location was great. Had the pup with us and she was very comfortable also. Loved seeing the chicks everyday. Freeway was noisy, but we were able to shut windows at night and it was fine. Lots of fans around and sound machines in the rooms. Thank goodness we were there before the big heat came. The host was very sweet and accommodating. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!
