New Stand Alone Private Backyard Cottage - A/C, Blocks to Zoo, Bus Line, Coffee

New May 2017 Classic Seattle Craftsman Backyard Cottage, nestled in a quiet private setting, at the SW corner of vibrant Phinney Ridge. The natural light filled cottage with exposed beam has an inviting open upper floor plan with high ceilings and large windows. This is a stand alone house with no occupants above or below you.

Stroll to shopping and dining, coffee, grocery stores, Woodland Park Zoo and the Rose Garden. Perfectly situated between Wallingford, Greenlake, Fremont and Ballard. Enjoy the Ballard Locks and Brewery District, Golden Gardens, Fremont Troll, and Greenlake’s 2.8 mile path around lake with beaches, wading pool, children’s play area’s and public boat rentals. Use transit for a short ride to South Lake Union, Downtown, Seattle Pacific University, and University of Washington. Street parking is free and available.

Upon entering find gleaming white oak floors, classic millwork and eye-catching lighting. Kitchen features brand new stainless appliances, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal and a fully equipped kitchen, lots of counter space, and a kitchen island that seats 4. New modern furnishings, dimmable lighting throughout, stair-lighting, front loading washer and dryer. Stay cozy and warm in the winter and cool and relaxed in the summer with high output heat pump and air conditioner.

Our Cottage sleeps 4 people. You’ll find a queen sized bed in a private room that closes off with a solid wood pocket door and pull out sofa bed. The pull-out sofa bed, is located in the living room, and has all necessary linens, mattress protector, and a mattress topper for added comfort. Please keep in mind the cottage is only 550 square feet and could be tight for four adults (I.e. when considering luggage storage), but completely doable. The closet in the bedroom is large and there is also some storage in the bathroom/laundry room. Some travelers may find the space is too small for their liking. The cottage does have an interior set of stairs as the main living is on the upper floor. The bathroom is on the first floor allowing for privacy. Could possibly be a concern for younger travelers not accustomed to stairs. Stairs are nicely illuminated with stair lighting. Flat screen TV w/cable and Wifi included. Children books, toys, high-chair and Pack-n-Play available upon request. Street parking is available.

If you are interested in a long term stay please reach out for a personalized quote. Stays over 28 days are not subject to the short term rental tax.

The Drey…simply delightful!
From the very beginning our host, Karleen, was warm and welcoming. Her correspondences were friendly and so helpful, too. My husband and I were quite impressed with our “home away from home” while in Seattle. The Drey was so clean and comfortable…and so cute! It had everything that we could possibly have needed for our stay. Since our daughter is now living in Seattle, we will be coming on a regular basis and will definitely choose The Drey for next visit. Five stars all the way!

Nice property
The bathroom being on first floor with bedrooms on second was less than ideal. Difficult to use television. Bedroom and kitchen very nice. Location excellent and no problem parking.

Terrific summer stay
Really excellent property and the hosts were communicative but unobtrusive. I felt safe and it was quiet while at the same time being ideally located for activities throughout Seattle— would highly recommend if you come in town for a woodland park zoo show as it’s a piece of cake to walk to the entrance even carrying chairs and blankets.
