I am a little relunctant to leave a positive review out of fear this lovely retreat will be discovered. This is a private cottage set in a wonderful neighborhood of well cared for homes. The surroundings offer interesting architecture, pride in gardens, lots of birds, a community shoping area with character and a Farmer Market which is treat to the eye as much as the palate. It is a peaceful and quiet area of Seattle and Ballard is a great for walking. Liz and Rick are perfect - helpful but not intrusive. They own two wonderful young cats. We will be back.

Brad was a great host and wealth of knowledge regarding Ballard, re-introducing us to a great neighborhood I hadn't visited in many years. The cottage was easily accessible, as was parking and quite comfortable. Highly recommended for a Ballard stay.

The grounds were beautiful and the studio space was perfect for us.

The reservation was canceled 41 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay was great! We were in contact with Brad prior to our arrival to make sure everything was O.K. and he was extremely helpful. The cottage was amazing. I cannot imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we manage to visit again. After several days on the road, we were able to relax in such a beautiful and comfortable space. The Ballard area is fun and has a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Downtown Seattle and other neighborhoods are easily accessible by bus. Liz and Brad even had a little basket of information about the area - including a waterproof map and bus schedules - near the bed.

Brad was very welcoming and related some of his life and travel experience with us. He spent time in Amsterdam where we live. We appreciated his collection of literature and his wife's amazing talent as a sculpture. The studio was very nicely furnished with wood work by Brad, art and sculpture by Liz. We liked the tile floors. The bathroom is small but adequate. The coach converts into a bed that did tend to cause the occupants to drift toward the center. Privacy in the living room section was somewhat compromised by the reed blinds that allowed a view out into the yard and, we assume, into the room. The small refrigerator is located right behind the head of the bed and we had to turn it off when we wanted to sleep. We are both light sleepers. All in all, we found the room very comfortable and conveniently located close to down town Ballard.

Brad and Liz were terrific hosts and the cottage is a lovely artist studio getaway filled with paintings and sculptures by Liz. I loved the cozy intimacy and the creative environment.

The cottage was amazing, exactly what was described and very homely. The art thats everywhere is so beautiful and makes the stay even more enjoyable. The two cats are very friendly and there was a great selection of tea waiting for us too. Location was perfect, a short walk to Ballard cafes, restaurants, shops and buses downtown. We would most defiantly recommend Brad & Liz's cottage to anyone who wants a great space to chill while seeing the sights of Seattle. Many thanks guys, if we return we would not hesitate to stay again.

My boyfriend and I stayed for three nights at Erik and Pamela's place. It was absolutely perfect. Super cute, cozy, and had everything we could have wanted. We both felt very comfortable and at home. I love Capitol Hill and everything we wanted to do was very close. At the same time, it felt like such a retreat. I would love to stay there again. Thank you!

The cottage was perfect and in a very convenient location. A very clean, cozy place with everything you could need, including washer dryer. Thanks so much- I will be back:)

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was set up so perfectly, we never had any reason to call the hosts for help with anything. We felt very comfortable here. We loved that it's a nice, quiet area, but still a quick car ride into areas like pike st.

LOVED Erik + Pamela's cottage. Immaculately clean and decorated / styled. So peaceful and relaxing and in a great neighbourhood. Would 100% stay here again and recommend.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. The location is fantastic, access is easy and it is very private. We had every single thing we could want. There are many great restaurants and shops a short walk away, and as we did not have a car, it was great that access to public transport was easy.

Erik and Pamela's cottage is beautiful. FANTASTIC. AMAZING. SUPERB. The cottage has everything one could ask for: a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, a bathroom with heating pad on the wall so you don't feel cold after a shower, wifi, a bed that heats up, and a comfortable couch, etc. Great location - walking distance to Broadway and restaurants and cafes in Summit Ave E area. The cottage is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood near Volunteer Park where all the fancy mansions are. I met Erik in person and he is very friendly and thoughtful. You can tell that he is genuinely nice. He was good at responding tons of messages from me. On the last day, I had many hours to kill until my flight at night and Erik let me stay in the cottage past the check out time and even kept my luggage for me! I highly recommend the cottage to everyone. You must try this place if you are planning to airbnb in Seattle.

Great little cottage space! Lovely garden, great location, and had all the amenities you could need including a fantastic DVD collection. Would love to stay at Erik and Pamela's on my next trip to Seattle!

The cottage was clean and cozy and in a great location. The hosts were clear and prompt in their communications. The description was very accurate, and the maps and folder with more detailed info about the cottage and surrounding area were a nice touch. Hassle-free experience, great place. Thanks!

The cottage was very nice. Spacious yet homey. Regina was very hospitable and helpful. I would highly recommend her as a host. Wallingford is also a very nice area and close to bars and restaurants.

The urban cottage was very cute and homey! It's private and very convinient. We were a little worried about the access to the bathroom but it was not a problem. Regina was very welcoming and it's an affordable option to staying downtown. We were only there 1 night for an event but would definitively stay again. Thanks!

Regina's cottage was my home base during a recent soul-searching trip to Seattle and she couldn't have been more accommodating. I acted too late and missed out on the second night of my stay, so she opened up her second room on a night she usually doesn't rent it out so I wouldn't have to move all my stuff to a new location. I arrived after an 800 mile road trip just in time to attend one of her yoga nidra sessions, which was just what the doctor ordered! She was welcoming and wonderful and definitely made me feel at home. The room itself was adorably outfitted, and while I wasn't home long enough and the weather wasn't nice enough to open up the big doors it was still a nice space. The neighborhood was quiet, pretty and well situated, and it was a short walk up to restaurants on 45th or over to Fremont, and I even walked to Ballard and UW without a problem. I would definitely recommend Regina's place to anyone in the area and I'll definitely be back!

Regina was a friendly and welcoming host! We were only in the cottage for one night and were provided with everything we needed in a very creative space. The bathroom and yoga studio space (where tea and coffee are provided) is in the basement of her home, so you do have to walk outside to get to it. It is only a few steps away and you are also provided with a key so that you have access to it at all times, so its not a problem! Shower is a little small but again wasn't a problem as we spent most of our time in the cottage or exploring Seattle. Very close to many Fremont restaurants and Gas Works Park. Thanks Regina!

Regina was an excellent host, so warm and kindly that made me feel so welcomed. The room was lovely and styled, the bed was very nice and comfortable, definitely made our stay comfortable and easy!PS. I do like the books

Regina, Thank you for the hospitality. The room was charming and the bed was very comfortable. Best!

close to downtown! cozy and the perfect little getaway!

We loved staying in Regina's guest room. The room was beautiful and the bed was very very comfortable. We enjoyed walking around the gorgeous neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to stay with Regina again if we're ever in the area. Thanks Regina!

This is the perfect place to stay after a busy day of sightseeing around Seattle. It is adorable, clean, & comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!

This cottage is fully equipped with everything you need for a delightful visit. Although we never do any cooking, the hot plate and pans are there at the ready. Wonderful coffee for the kerieg coffee maker too boot!

Very cozy, private and within waking distance to shopping and dining. Great stay!

The backyard cottage was wonderful. Well appointed, comfortable and, despite the close proximity to the owners' home, felt very private and secluded. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants made this a wonderful oasis near downtown Ballard.

Bev greeted us upon arrival . Everything was beautiful including a welcome note . Ice in the freezer water in the fridge . Makeup mirror curling iron and straightener along with a hair dryer ! Top of the line kitchen utensils and even a motorized toaster.❤️

This is a great place, very comfortable and updated cottage with all the amenities that you need for a home away from home visit. The neighborhood is residential, but very close to the bus line which connects with Seattle's great public transportation system. Lots of places to eat and shop within walking distance. The owners live on site, but are not intrusive but are available if you should need them for anything. The only minor complaint that I had is that I wish the water temperature were a little hotter, but otherwise, I would definitely stay again if ever in the Seattle area.

Thanks for providing such a great place for us to base our Seattle wedding adventures. We really enjoyed it! We found everything we needed near by and were very comfortable during our stay. Joel

This place is incredible. Very cute and immaculately clean. Bev and Grant were exceptionally accommodating and responded quickly to every communication. Ballard is a great neighborhood and this cottage was a great deal. Would definitely stay again.

The loft was everything that was represented in the photos. Malcolm has live up to the many positive reviews. We will be staying at the loft again!

Malcolm was a great host. The place is awesome. Well decorated and adorned with all the necessities for your stay. So close to the Georgetown area. Hope we can make it back.

We absolutely loved this place.You can tell Malcolm put a lot of time and love into this place.We immediately felt at home upon our arrival.The loft was clean comfortable and warm.The kitchen is well stocked with dishes.We had my brother and sister in law over for dinner and we had everything we needed to prepare the meal.Including the gas grill on the deck to cook our steaks.There was also a washer and dryer in the bathroom that came in very handy.The bathroom was clean and modern.Loved the shower.We did not want to leave at check out time,best place I think I have stayed yet.I would stay here again in a heartbeat.Thank you so much.

Malcolm's loft is such a nice place to stay! My husband Jonas and I both really enjoyed our time there and felt at home. The best parts about it are the design of the space, the skylights, and the garden setting. We rented a car and it was very easy to get around all the different neighborhoods in Seattle. We did adjust the temperature but the loft did get cold at night. We could have easily reached out to Malcolm but didn't and used an extra blanket instead. The internet didn't work very well, cut in and out and didn't work well for video calls so we used our cell internet instead no big deal the roku seemed to work fine and kept a connection, not his fault it must be the internet provider. Great place. Would def. come back again. Loved it. Thanks Malcolm!

The property was amazing. The studio loft is perfect in terms of amenities and atmosphere, we didn't want to leave by the end. It's only a short drive from the city center and other nice neighborhoods with many good restaurants and things to do. We really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent experience.

What a great first experience with Airbnb! For once, the pictures were true to form. This place was nothing short of amazing. Malcolm was quick to respond to any questions we had and even recommend the perfect place for brunch, Hangry Cafe. This was a perfect getaway. Would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends! Keep the date open for next year because we will be sure to stay there again for next years Elysian Pumpkin Festival!

It was easy to work with Malcolm for both the booking process and arrival. The place is beautiful and we enjoyed checking out Malcolm's cool art and design of the place. We were super touristy so we didn't spend a ton of time in the local neighborhoods but found it easy to get downtown.

Clean space. Prompt reply. Great host.

Great restaurants and night life. Easy location for exploring the Emerald City..

The apartment was larger than a regular hotel room and very comfortable. A number of tourist things were within walking distance (the Needle and Pike's Place) as well as shopping. Given the location, I was surprised at how quiet the area was - though if you aren't used to city noise I'm sure you would find it loud. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great place. Very clean and convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Very nice and very clean apartment in a fantastic location! We could walk to anyplace we wanted to visit.

we had a great stay ar sids place. everything is in walking distance and there is a lot of resraurants nearby. the only thing is that the appartement is towards the street and it's abit noisy with windows open at night. we had a bit of a problem with the key at first but sid sent someone right away to fix it. overall totally recomend it! thanks sid

The place was awesome, very clean and close to everything. Communication with Sid was very easy and he made it a pleasure. Couldn't have been happier with our experience.

This place was in a great spot to see what Seattle had to offer on a short time frame! Great to have kitchen and washing facilities too as we are away from home a few weeks. Sid was helpful and available when we needed him - all in all a great experience.

Kell was such a great and responsive host during our weekend stay. The place had everything we needed, including a stocked kitchenette. The fireplace also kept us nice and cozy over the weekend. Kell's place is a wonderful value and fully exceeded our expectations.

Very clean and private studio apt. Was just as described and I would definitely stay there again. The host had beer in the fridge!!

Kell and family's space is a fantastic spot, close to ferry for a convenient and scenic (& reasonably priced) trip into Seattle, plus Bainbridge Island is lovely. Great safe feeling neighborhood and nice food options. Kell is super welcoming and was very accommodating with our late arrival. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back this way...

Very helpful hosts with information and flexibility!

Comfortable and quiet. Short walk from the ferry. A great spot for a casual trip to the island.

A wonderful quiet getaway that's still within biking/walking distance from town. Kell and family are warm and welcoming with great suggestions for food and recreation. an excellent stay!

We had a fantastic time staying at Kell's place. The space was beautiful and exactly what we needed for a small respite. The ferry was conveniently located and we were able to take walks down to the local park which provided a beautiful view of the beach and the city skyline. Great location if you like being close to a bit of the outdoors and would enjoy a relaxing ferry ride. Kell was absolutely wonderful. He was great at communicating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even went out of his way to get us laundry detergent so we could clean a load of laundry while we were there. We had an amazing time and Kell was an excellent host. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great host, great space, all around great time.

Great place away from the busy city but close enough to get there with ease. Won't be the last time we visit Bainbridge and will hopefully stay at the Cedar Tree House again.

Fantastic and beautiful place to stay, secluded but not too far from shopping or the ferry into Seattle. our hosts both stopped by to say hello and offer any help and were very respectful of privacy otherwise. Highly recommend!

The Downing's loved the Tree House. It was absolutely perfect! We felt right at home. It was a quick trip into town and to catch the ferries into Seattle. I think a lot of my (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) friends will be making their way to Bainbridge island. Thanks for everything and the hospitality!!

The place was beautiful, clean, and the perfect quiet place for our weekend. We loved cooking dinner in the kitchen, sitting on the chairs out back, and waking up to a panoramic view of trees. The location is very close to the main street with shops and restaurants. Highly recommended for a quiet weekend away from city life, but with markets and shops close enough for any needs.

The Cedar Tree House is aptly named -it was tucked under tall, moss-covered trees and bordered by a babbling creek -just what we wanted to experience on our visit to the Pacific Northwest! Bring your cameras! The house was immaculate, new, and comfortable for our family of 4 -2 adults and two teenagers. It was well-stocked with all the amenities including fluffy comforters and towels. The Bainbridge Island location was a great, small-town feeling place to stay while we explored Seattle, parts of the Olympic Peninsula, and the island itself. The house notebook that Kim & Jim provided on-site was a useful & organized tool to help plan trips and places to eat -kudos! Communication with the hosts was timely & responsive; they were available for questions and advice. We'd love to visit again in another season!

The treehouse was the perfect place for our weekend retreat. Kim and Jim are wonderful hosts and super well organized and thoughtful. Everything was perfect! The treehouse is wonderfully secluded but at the same time just a 5 minute drive from the ferry and Windslow. Just perfect!!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during our vacation. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, the house was perfectly equipped and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. We will be back.

This place is excellent. It is well set up for guests, very private, and very secluded. It was comfortable, and all the little things like cooking implements, nice sheets and towels, a Kuerig and even firewood were all provided. Our stay was easy, smooth, and comfortable. The location is secluded and that is what we wanted. It is a short walk to a beautiful beach. Kim was helpful in all communication, had a suggestion for everything we needed, and was proactive in taking care of the rental. We appreciated that very much. I don't know how I can give a ore positive review - but we like this place and our hosts.

Holly was incredible! We could not have asked for a better host! Nothing was too much trouble, the cottage was clean, cosy and felt like home, and we loved it so much that we didn't want to leave! It was truly PERFECT! The addition of the hot tub was incredible and we also loved the steam shower. This place is very special and we will be back!! Holly and her family made us feel at home!

If you're looking for peace and quiet just a short drive to the waterfront/downtown, you've come to the right place. Beautiful rental indoor and out. The steam shower was a great way to relax. The bed was quite comfortable and paired with the quiet, we slept very soundly.

Holly was wonderful to work with. She was very easy to communicate with and the place was very relaxing. It had everything we needed and more!!

Holly's house is a great place to hang out and read, do work or relax. You may want to bring bikes for rides to town, as it is a far walk. There is a wood stove, fire pit and hot tub, as well as a large deck and full kitchen. This home is secluded and peaceful and Holly's communications were quick and helpful.

What an incredible value for the cozy cottage and beautiful setting. We enjoyed dining on the deck each evening and then relaxing in the hot tub. The cottage had more than enough room for my husband and I and our two teenage children to have our own space. We enjoyed the trails neighboring the property and the parks and aquatic center in Winslow. Holly was a very gracious host, immediately responding to all of our concerns and questions.

Such a cute but spacious little house. We loved staying here! Holly was very thoughtful and left us fresh fruit. We would definitely stay here again.

Can't say enough about the property and the hosts. It was just perfect for our family of 4. We are in the process of relocating to Bainbridge so were looking for a relaxing environment that was well situated to town. The house itself is spacious and private. We have 2 busy boys and they loved romping around the property. Holly and Erik were great, they have the sweetest little pond and the boys loved this area which was full of fun critters for the boys to catch. We would come back in a heartbeat. It was great value for money, clean and private although the hosts were extremely accessible if we needed anything.

A cozy, yet spacious cottage! VERY private, charming home with full kitchen and wood burning fireplace. There is also a firepit outside. Only 7 minutes from Winslow and 20 minutes from Poulsbo, this is an ideal location. For peace and quiet -- this is the spot! Holly was available via text to answer our questions and left us a bottle of wine and candy as a welcome gift.

Great view of Seattle across the water, very relaxing place to stay. Much better place to stay than a hotel, nice to have a spacious living room, deck, kitchen and laundry room. I was working long hours (16hrs/day) and it was nice to come back to apartment, which I shared with a work colleague. My only complaints are that the internet was slow, painfully at times (which was an issue with sending files) and the lighting could do with a bit of an upgrade, other than that a really great stay and made the long hours much more bearable.

This is a wonderful place for a family getaway.

The house has an open layout and large kitchen. There is a lovely deck that can be accessed through the kitchen. The view is awesome. As stated there is no direct access to the beach, however you can walk around the side of the house to reach the beach. The house is not well equipped for sunny hot weather.

The pictures don't do this place justice! The apartment is spacious and feels airy, and yes, that really is the view of downtown Seattle. The kitchen is large and fairly well stocked in terms of dishes. There is not really beach access from the top floor without being in the downstairs floor's space, but the balcony is a nice place to bask in the sun and take in the view. One thing to note, bring ground coffee for the reusable Keurig coffee maker. Tomo's on-site agent was very communicative and prompt with responses to questions.

Loved our time here!

Awesome!!!!

Awesome stay! Thank you so much!!

Perfect stay and amazing location. Thank you Tomo!

Great place. Our dogs were very welcome. We used the fireplace and the hot tub.

This cabin is perfect in every way! It is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature and trees and rain and birds. We celebrated our honeymoon here and it couldn't have been more perfect. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for a wonderful stay. -The Roth's!

Like others have said, the pictures don't do the cabin justice. Secluded, quiet place to relax. Michelle was very respectful and helpful!

A wonderful getaway - felt like we were deep in the woods instead of a short ferry ride from the city!

Beautiful place and great value! Very accommodating place and host! Highly recommend!

Michelle was an incredibly accommodating host and her cabin was amazing. Very, very clean and cozy. I had a very peaceful and relaxing time staying in her wonderful space. I would definitely recommend!

For a quite relaxing place for two, must go!!!

What a wonderful place to spend a quiet weekend! The cabin was beautiful and secluded, it really felt like we were alone in the woods. Michelle was very helpful with check-in and quick to respond, and the cabin was well stocked for us to make all of our meals there. The bed was super comfortable and the hot tub really made for a perfect stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Great hosts, great location, great view and some great granola.

I read all the comments before booking this place and thought to myself, "how good can the granola be?" It is that good. One of my favorite parts of the stay was sitting out on the deck each morning with the granola and view - wonderful. This place was a great value and we had a lovely anniversary stay there.

This cottage was very clean, comfortably furnished and decorated, and in a beautiful location. It is above a detached garage with access by an exterior stairwell. The hostess, Jan, lives across the parking area, and was very helpful. She left lots of personal touches including yogurt and homemade granola (great for parfaits in the morning) and homemade cookies. We would definitely stay again.

Jan is an amazing host and her cottage is far more charming and well appointed in real life than in the photos. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the views stunning and Jan was very thoughtful leaving toys for our son, a bottle of wine for us and some of the most delicious granola I have ever tasted. Plenty of blankets, pillows, fresh towels, kitchenware etc. available and conveniently located to everything on Bainbridge Island. Our entire stay exceeded our expectations!

The location for those interested in the city life during the day combined with the quiet side in the evenings could not be more ideal. The proximity to the Olympic Peninsula National Forests was perfect for day trips as well. We highly recommend staying with Jan. Enjoying the homemade granola and cookies while relaxing on the deck is not to be missed.

Great view, comfy bed, cosy spot

Jan was wonderful and provided so many personal touches. She provided extra chairs for our dinner and even gave us the garlic we forgot. She was wonderful with our child , even providing a curated basket of children books and truly a gracious host. We had a great time.

We would definitely recommend staying here! The view from the deck alone is worth the stay, but Jan goes above and beyond with delicious homemade goodies and great recommendations for where to go on Bainbridge. We loved our stay here and would definitely visit again!

Probably best for a single traveller. Small one room space. Nicely done. Seemed like a full size bed. Not a large enough space for my husband and myself but fine for one night.

Tricia is fantastic! We loved our stay in her home. She even went above and beyond and had breakfast for us! that was so kind :)

Tricia's place was well furnished and super nice. She left us croissants, juice, and other treats in the fridge. Great location too, just a 6 minute cab/Uber to the ferry station.

Great place to stay in Bainbridge! Tricia was great with communication! It was a very hot weekend when we stayed so the extra fans were appreciated.

Nice clean place and tastefully decorated. Tricia was VERY accommodating and addressed any questions we had.

Tricia was so accommodating and was great at communicating. She had breakfast treats and the place had everything we needed. Definitely will stay here again next time I visit Bainbridge!

The space is small, but well equipped and super clean. The special personal touches that Tricia added were very much appreciated. We did spend some time on Bainbridge Island but really took the opportunity of the short ferry ride to Seattle to explore that area

Tricia's spot is the place to stay for a trip to Bainbridge. It's in close proximity to all of the shops, restaurants, and local attractions. It's quiet and in a safe and friendly neighborhood. The place itself is super cozy and so so clean. It's your own private spot and has everything you could possibly need inside. It's fully furnished, beautifully decorative, and very comfortable! Tricia was also an amazing host. She went out of her way to answer all of our questions about fun things to do during our stay. She was extremely friendly and she even went out of her way to get us some supplies we forgot to bring. Tricia's spot is a must book; if you're considering, don't hesitate to book!!! We will definitely come back again!! :D

Nice, clean, comfortable bed, very quiet neighborhood. Short drive or moderate walk to center of town. Good price. Would definitely recommend this.

The place was great! Well described and pictures don't even describe this place. It is a must if you visit Seattle or Bainbridge Island period. Home welcoming and secluded in a beautiful neighborhood. They won't disappoint.

Great place to stay in Bainbridge. Actual space a bit nicer than photos suggest. My husband always tells me I pick winners on AirBnB and this one definitely fit with my past record.

This above garage apartment was absolutely perfect. It's beautifully decorated and very comfortable,especially the beds. It's clear Larry and Carolyn have put a great deal of energy into creating the space. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place in a cute neighborhood. Their place is very inviting, very clean and comfy. We had everything we needed to cook small meals and rest peacefully after fun island adventures. I agree with other reviewers on the location hiccup, though not Larry and Carolyn's fault. We just had spotty cell coverage on the island in general, so I'd suggest looking at mapped directions before you get off the ferry.

This was a fantastic stay for us on our honeymoon. Perfect little home with a comfortable bed, living area, and kitchen! Quiet getaway, yet a quick 30min Ferry to the city. We spent time on the island exploring as well. Larry and Carolyn were great hosts and made us feel like locals.

Charming immaculate space! A wonderful nights sleep near great restaurants, shopping and the ferry.

Convenient location only about 10 minutes drive from the ferry, restaurants, and shopping area in downtown Bainbridge . The carriage house is completely separate with it's own private entry located in a beautiful neighborhood of well maintained arts and crafts homes. The beds are very comfortable and the place is very cozy and clean. Highly recommend staying here, great value and accommodation. We hope to return again soon!

Lovely place! If u want to sit quietly and watch the world go by, stay here. You can sit closely by water and watch the tide come in or sit on the patio just off the sleeping area and be entertained by water activity. Comfy king sized bed with cotton rich sheets.

Beautiful location on the sound! Gorgeous beach and comfortable bed! We had such a relaxing trip!

This was an extremely beautiful place to stay right on the water. I would definitely stay there again just to spend more time in Port Orchard.

A breathtaken veiw!.Thanks Nancy for sharing your home

An AMAZING location on the water. Ideal for relaxation and/or romance. Fire pit on the water, watch as the ferries go by. Walk out and find shells and whatnot at low tide. This owner was a great host as well. She made herself available to any needs while respecting privacy. Definitely quite the find!!

Wonderful cozy and relaxed place to unwind!

Where to start, Nancy and her husband are great host. The location is beautiful, very private, and just amazing view, private patio and 30 seconds to the shores. We enjoyed every second of our stay.

This listing was one of the most unique, beautiful, peaceful listings I've ever stayed at! The photos do not do it justice. The land it is on is incredibly quiet and peaceful. The home is immaculately clean and Kelly was a kind and helpful host. Any time I had a question, Kelly was quick to respond and help. I am so excited to come back for another relaxing weekend away. Thank you so much!

Unless you travel to Japan, where else can you experience a piece of such unique culture, located on huge wooded private property and priced less than average hotel room? This was a truly enjoyable experience, thanks Arne and Linda for your hospitality and Kelly for your service.

living in the middle of the city, I was looking for a getaway from the noise and craziness of the city. after looking and looking for a place I could do a solitary trip to renew my energy i bumped into Arne & Linda’s place. the house was isolated and very well kept. the pictures show you exactly what you get. but no picture could do justice to the peace and tranquility the whole house permeates. since i don't own a car, I tool the fairy there and a bus. as I began walking there the walk from the bus stop ( about 15 min to the road that leads to the house), i didn't realize how far the house actually was. however I bumped into Kelly as I begun getting closer to the house. She was nice enough to offer a ride and take me to the front of the house. she also showed me around the house. through my stay she was very responsive and attentive. on the way back a very nice gentleman that lives on the island named Skip gave me a ride back to the ferry station from the house. His name and contact info were in the guest handbook. to my surprise I didn't realize the buses didn't run on Sunday. Also Kelly offered a ride but I was already covered. the sense of community and positive energy was absolutely amazing. I came back relaxed and centered. I look forward to another stay sometime. if you need a quiet weekend with meditation and soul searching this is your place :) -Ruben

A beautiful home in lovely surroundings. We had a fantastic stay.

The home is stunning! Very clean and beautifully designed. The property was lush and so peaceful. Overall very happy with our stay!

We had a wonderful time at this tranquil and unique home. Tucked behind a birch grove down a gravel road, this Japanese house is the perfect retreat to get some rest, clear your mind, and catch up on reading. The architectural details of the house are incredible. We probably spent the first 30 minutes just admiring the woodwork! And every window is like a picture window (even the one in the bathroom!), with views of the trees and green landscape. The lighting in the home is beautiful at all times of the day. A few days before our trip, Kelly sent us very helpful instructions on how to unlock and enter the house, and overall found it to be a comfortable, clean, and relaxing place to stay. My partner and I slept in the downstairs bedroom, while our friend took the daybed, and we all slept comfortably. The hosts left the home stocked with all of the necessities, so we cooked most of our meals and ate outside at the picnic table. The house is a short drive from the ferry terminal, but when you're there, the city feels far away. In fact, we felt like we had gone to the Japanese countryside for the weekend, and we would definitely go back!

What an amazing and lovely house. A beautiful gem in the woods, with easy access to Winslow and Ferry Terminal. My wife and I could have just stayed at the house and grounds for our time on Bainbridge Island and felt like we had a full experience. The house really is special, built by a master craftsman from Kyoto, it has a transcendent affect and would provide a fantastic retreat. Kitchen, bathrooms, and guest house information were all top notch. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. My wife took the bus into town one day, when I had business in Seattle, and that was easy and convenient--a short walk to the bus stop. We would go back in a heartbeat. Very highly recommended!!!

Lovely location, perfect hosts and pleasant stay!!!

I had a great 10 stay at Jerry and Johanna's condo in downtown Winslow on Bainbridge Island. Nice, private room with just the right amount of delightful contact with Joanna and Jerry! Use of the coffee maker and fridge for food storage started my morning off just right. Thank you both for making my visit with my son, daughter in law and new grandson so perfect!

Joanna and Jerry are great hosts! Joanna welcomed me to her condo and showed me around the small town of Bainbridge to make sure I knew where I needed to go. The room was comfortable and private, just as advertised! It was located about a 13 minute walk from the ferry (from Seattle) and 2 minutes from downtown. Most shops and restaurants are within a comfortable walking distance of this condo. If you are planning a trip to Bainbridge Island, I highly recommend this accommodation!

This was my 2nd stay with Joanna and Jerry. The room is private and clean, the location perfect in downtown Winslow, and they are very attentive and gracious hosts.

What a lovely accommodation! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location - right in the heart of downtown, which provided walking access to all the shops, restaurants and theaters. Everything was clean and welcoming. Directions for parking pass and wifi were specific and very helpful. Perfect for a first-time visitor!

I had a perfect time at Joanna and Jerry's condo - it was located right near the little town of Bainbridge, and was an easy walk to and from the Ferry. Joanna met me at the Ferry so we could walk back together and get acquainted. They are both lovely, friendly people and I feel like I have made some new friends for life. You won't be disappointed if you go there. My room was quiet, clean and the bed was comfortable, and I had a private bathroom.

Great location and hospitality. Joanna and Jerry are wonderful hosts

Joanna met us at the ferry and made us welcome right away. She has such a warm personality. Joanna and Jerry gave us the run of the entire apartment, access to the well-stocked refrigerator and did everything to make us comfortable, including a ride back to the ferry when we left. They were not only hosts, they were friends, and we will stay with them again if we have a chance to visit the really beautiful Bainbridge Island.

I really needed a place to get away from my normal routine that was quiet enough to hear myself. There's not a better word to describe Amy's cabin and the surrounding areas other than PERFECT. I found what I was looking for here. She was an exceptional host, was 100% accommodating and responsive, and all the while giving me my space and privacy. I will surely be back again.

Amy's cabin is a pure delight! Check-in is simple and the cottage itself is beautifully appointed. You are certain to get an excellent night's sleep in this serene oasis. My wife and I were visiting Bainbridge Island to attend a wedding and the cottage was well situated between the main strip of restaurants and shops and the wedding venue. You are steps away from water access and surrounded by beautiful scenery. If it's rest and relaxation that you are looking for than you can't go wrong with this rental!

We LOVED this little cabin tucked away on a quiet road, yet still so close to everything we wanted to see! The short walk down to the beach felt magical, like we were climbing out of a treehouse onto what felt like a secret beach. Everything about our stay on this island had us wanting to make it a permanent home. Amy recommended some great spots for evening food & drinks. We had a great time meeting people at the farmer's market and walking through the nature preserves. We would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you, Amy!!

We highly recommend Amy's place for those looking to get away from their harried life. We enjoyed a peaceful stay, that was pleasantly self-service, and still comforting to know our hosts were in the house below and just a message away should we need them. Very clean, well-appointed, and cozy. Could walk to the beach down the road and also enjoyed a nice walk to and around Battlepoint Park.

Great place! Quiet and great view. Perfect for a weekend get away!

Wonderful cabin perfect for outings and day trips. We came out for hiking and the market. We will definitely be back!

A perfect get away! Would certainly recommend for a couple or a single looking to get away for a bit!

Enjoyed our stay at Amy's place. What a treasure this little cabin is, exactly as listed and then some. Easy checking in and out. Highly recommend this beautiful little hide away. The view is breath-taking. Couldn't have been happier staying here.
