A Piece of Heaven

A lovely quiet cottage in a gorgeous Seattle neighborhood, walking distance to the beach. Convenient to everything. The bed was insanely comfortable, and the kitchen, well-appointed. I can’t rave enough about this place!

Clean, Cute, Comfortable and Convenient

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Quiet neighborhood stay

The sunset hill guest house is just blocks from the park which has spectacular sunsets. The family neighborhood is quiet but close to coffee shops and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. Easy street parking and friendly hosts. Be sure to catch the Ballard farmers market on Sunday mornings!

Cute and comfortable cottage in Sunset Hill

Located in a very cute neighborhood, this place was very clean and comfortable. There was a smart TV, good cookware, and washer/dryer. There’s a very helpful booklet of neighborhood eats. I only wish there was a full length mirror and a rod to hang clothes on. There are coat hangers/racks but it is not the same. It is nestled in a very cute yard. Check in was easy. Couldn’t ask for a better stay in Seattle. Highly recommend.

Sweet home away from home

Very comfortable stay in a very warm and welcoming home. Super clean, easy access from front or back, comfy bed, nice fridge and stove, small, but nice bathroom, new washer/dryer that worked well, comfy couch, and best of all, very nice hosts. I hope to come back again.

Great stay

We enjoyed the guest house and neighborhood a lot. Parking was always available. Space was clean. The ability to do laundry was appreciated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful. The house book also provided things to do and food recs. Would stay here again. I think the only thing the property could benefit from would be a full length mirror.

Super cute & perfect location

I booked this for my parents to stay while visiting us in seattle. It is not only super cute but also a wonderful location. The hosts are also very helpful and kind. We ended up having several visits to the hospital unexpectedly and the home a perfect spot for them to relax and recover. Can’t say enough great things about it and would highly recommend.

Wonderful!

My husband and I stayed at the Ballard Sunset Hill Guest House for 2 nights during our anniversary trip. The home was exactly as described and perfect for us! The hosts were incredibly friendly and we enjoyed chatting with them. They were happy to provide recommendations to us, which we took and were very happy with! They also provide a guide when staying that has tons of helpful information including hand drawn maps of neighborhoods around the area. We had a lovely time!
