We love kids, but the yard is not appropriate for unattended small children. There is a small, unfenced, in-ground water feature and an unfenced ravine leading to a salmon stream. For their safety, small children must be supervised outdoors.

All linens including towels are provided. Please bring your own toiletries, (soap, shampoo, etc.)

No parties. We are located in a residential neighborhood, next door to a retirement facility. We respect our neighbors, and we ask that you do the same. Pre-negotiated, small events may be accommodated on a case by case basis. Additional fees may apply.

Spacious home, awesome location in W Seattle

Enjoyed our visit with plenty of rooms and space for our adult kids to spread out to work, read, and visit during our trip back to the PNW. Home was cute and functional. The neighborhood was nice for walking and running with nearby bakeries and coffee shops!

Escape to Wildwood

This property is truly a work of art. Our escape to Wildwood was fantastic. We were so lucky to get to spend Thanksgiving with our family in this gem of a house. Tom and Carolin have taken great care to make sure even the tiniest details reflect the woodland theme. They even had snacks for when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped and we had all we needed. I can’t wait to go back.

Enjoyable stay

The house was big enough to comfortably fit our group of nine adults. We enjoyed gathering in the back yard and at the large dining room table. Since we planned to use public transportation to get around the city, having a bus stop right in front of the house was perfect. The house was well-stocked, so we didn’t have to go shopping immediately after arrival.

Quick work retreat in West Seattle

We planned a quick trip for a small team of co-workers to get together for a day of meetings and socializing in the evening. The house was perfect for our small team to have their own bedroom and bathroom with plenty of common areas. The backyard was a great place to sit and enjoy conversation. The BBQ setup was perfect for a great dinner and Endolyne Joe's across the street! We walked to Lincoln Park after dinner and enjoyed the sunset. Perfect location. Thanks!

Amazing Home and Hosts

From start to finish this house was perfect for our extended family of 13. The house itself gave everyone their own space and something to do for the kids. We stayed for 2 nights prior to our cruise and the hosts were very accomadating. Very easy to hop on and off the bus with the stop right in front of the house. And the cafe up the block had great food and coffee. Highly recommended this house if going to Seattle.

A wonderful place to stay.

We had eight guys in town for the football game, and it slept all of us comfortably. Within walking distance, there was an incredible park on the shoreline, and a few great food options. The owner met us as we arrived, and had even baked some fresh cookies for us. While the football game didn’t go our way, the house made our weekend perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful property has a history of being operated as a bed and breakfast for 25 years. We were lucky enough to be able to purchase it from the estate of the previous owner, and poured our heart and soul into it for two years prior to reopening as a vacation rental home. This nearly century-old home was in need of a lot of love. We've ensured it will last another 100 years by giving it a new roof, new siding, new windows, new wiring, new plumbing, and new heating. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
