About this property

Lake and Mountain Views - 2 Bedroom, 3/4 Bath

Just up the hill from Carillon Point, this lower level, private apartment is in a house in the high end neighborhood of Houghton in South Kirkland. It is one block from a 6 mile trail. You'll love the place with its quiet location and beautiful garden entrance. The apartment is 1200 square feet 2 bedroom, 3/4 bath with large living/dining space, plus a 200 sf private, covered patio space with beautiful views of Lake Washington, Olympic Mountains, and the Seattle skyline in the distance. It has a small, but cute and functional kitchenette with new compact appliances (no dishwasher, disposal). There is a strict quiet hours policy from 10pm - 6 am.

I have one dog that has zero access to the unit, but has free reign of the fenced backyard. He is occasionally active from 6:00 am, but quiet hours apply to them too. He will bark when I come home via the garage and when someone knocks on my front door, but downstairs guests are mostly ignored.

White Honda Ridgeline Truck (see photo in parking ) available to rent via Turo. Contact me for details.

Brother week in Kirkland and Seattle

My brothers and I very much enjoyed the home. It is a clean space in an excellent location and the beds are comfortable. Karen was very friendly and accomodating. The view is incredible, with a western sunset exposure. Close to all that Kirkland and Bellevue have to offer.

Beautiful and peaceful!

Our stay and this property was delightful! The space was immaculate and spacious - exactly as advertised. The patio was comfortable and peaceful with a fantastic view of a beautiful garden and Lake Washington! The owner lives upstairs but we barely heard her or her dog. Our stay was fantastic!

Great Experience

This was a terrific apartment and our timing couldn’t have been better for enjoying the blooming garden of our host, Karen. She was a delight… kind and responsive, yet not intrusive. The views from the property of the skyline and water were spectacular.the apartment is well supplied and convenient, and Kirkland made for a centralized location to the sites we visited. We’d certainly stay there again!

Was the perfect location

We had a great time staying at this lovely home. It's in the perfect location and has a lovely view of the water from the patio. It's very homey and comfortable. We were able to walk to a local restaurant to have lunch by the water and there's a great grocery store near by. Communication with the owner was great. Highly recommend!

Lovely if chilly!

This was a lovely property, both inside and out. The beds and furniture were comfy. The kitchenette was nearly a kitchen thanks to all the small appliances and cookware, plus a nice selection of spices, snacks, and hot drinks. The view was city and sunset. Downsides: Cold and Noise. It was kept at a very low temperature. There are good quality space heaters and an electric fireplace. But the electrical circuits are apparently delicate. There are notices that you should turn off/unplug lamps and appliances before using the fireplace, and not run too many appliances in the kitchen at the same time. The result was that we felt we could only warm/light one room at a time. But there were lots of extra blankets and throws everywhere! There was a lot of sound transfer from upstairs to downstairs, so probably the other way too and that felt awkward. There are quiet hours at night, but don't expect quiet during the day or evening. It did still feel visually private if not audibly. Overall a really nice stay, and the only reason I'd not stay again is that I prefer standalone structures for quiet and privacy.

Karen’s home is lovely with all of the comforts we needed for our getaway. The trail, just a few steps from her home, was wonderful and it was fun to walk and look at the beautiful homes near by. We visited a few wineries in The District and recommend Ste Michelle, it was stunning!

Sweet hideaway in a beautiful neighborhood

I'm so glad we chose to Vrbo outside the city rather than get a hotel in the middle of it. This was a beautiful neighborhood with a great, well-kept apartment space that truly felt like it was its own private home. The owner communicated clearly so we knew what to do, and we had no issues while we were there with our young kids!
