Stay during UW graduation weekend

My golden retriever and I had a lovely stay at this Ballard cottage. My dog loved the fully fenced yard and I loved the well-appointed kitchen and other thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay in Ballard

The Ballard Farmhouse was the perfect place for my one week stay in Ballard. The house is conveniently located, generously sized and very well equipped. The big back yard feels like a private oasis. The hosts are right next door. They are welcoming and very responsive. I feel fortunate to have found such a great place to stay.

Extended Stay at a Lovely Home!

Loved this cute little home for our 3 week trip to Seattle. I was working remotely, and enjoyed the use of the little upstairs office space. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and set up. Had all the amenities I would hope for in a rental and more. Home is in a great location walking distance to Ballard shops, not too far from Golden gardens. If we ever have another long trip to Seattle would hope to stay here again!

Well appointed classic Ballard home in great area

We had a very nice stay in Nicole's house, which is an original Ballard home that she has updated very tastefully. We were warm and comfy, and enjoyed being able to walk to all the great stuff in downtown Ballard. Bedrooms are upstairs and the sole bathroom is downstairs, and the stairs are fairly steep, which could be inconvenient for nighttime bathroom runs. We felt safe with the handrail and treads but something to consider if this affects you. My small dog was welcome and we enjoyed the fenced yard and the mudroom (very convenient for drying a wet dog).

Why they chose this property

We love Ballard for it proximity to Down town Seattle and all the great activities it offers. The new waterfront park added to Seattle Pike Place market with new aquarium addition is our favorite place to spend an afternoon sight seeing, eating great seafood and enjoying the water and mountain view. From there you can take a fun ride in the Seattle great wheel, walk to historic Pioneer Square or visit the Iconic Seattle Space needle.
Ballard itself offers access to Golden Gardens beach or Discovery Park for a fun local hike, both about a 10 minute drive from the home, perfect for watching our local wildlife and watching epic sunsets.
An easy 10 minute walk will lead you to the heart of Historic downtown Ballard filled with great restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail bars, shopping, ice cream shops, farmers market, local breweries and more. Enjoy a new movie release at the Majestic Bay theater or visit the Nordic Heritage Museum and learn about the history of this once Scandinavian community. All within walking distance to the home, No car needed.

What makes this property unique

It's a 1906 original Ballard Farmhouse. Build solid and strong, every inch lovingly restored by us in 2022.
We purchased this property because it is right new door to where we live. It was going to be purchased by developers and torn down and we wanted to preserve the history of this home. We spend 5 month lovingly remodeling every inch it and are so pleased to be able to offer it as a short term rental. We truly hope we did our part of preserving history for future generation to enjoy :)
