About this place

Quiet, Peaceful, & Nature Adjacent at the Creek, Room for 6

Escape to your private 3BR creekside retreat in North Seattle! Family & pet-friendly with AC, fast WiFi, full kitchen, laundry and all the comforts of home. Relax by the fire pit, BBQ, play games or unwind beside Thornton Creek. EV charging + easy parking included. Just 1 mile to Northgate Light Rail for a quick ride to downtown, UW, stadiums & Seattle attractions. A peaceful home base with the city within easy reach.
🌲 A Creekside Retreat in Seattle

Some homes have a backyard. Ours has a creek.

Thornton Creek winds through the trees directly behind the property, creating a rare little pocket of nature in North Seattle. Start your morning with coffee by the water, watch for birds and wildlife, or simply enjoy the sound of the creek while still being minutes from the city.

When evening arrives, the string lights come on. Gather around the fire pit, BBQ on your private covered patio, or head down to the creek for a quiet end to the day.

It’s a little taste of the Pacific Northwest without leaving Seattle.

šŸ” Designed to Feel Like Home

This private, single-level 3BR/1BA home sleeps up to 6 and is designed for guests who want more than just a place to sleep.

Settle into the living room with its warm wood accents, comfortable seating and 60" Smart TV. Put on a record, choose a movie from the DVD collection, pull out a board game, or request the PS4 for a night in.

šŸ³ A Kitchen You Can Actually Cook In

The fully equipped kitchen is stocked for real meals, whether you’re making breakfast before exploring Seattle or settling in for a longer stay.

A dedicated coffee and tea bar makes mornings easy, and the dining table seats six for meals, games and conversation.

šŸ›ļø Three Bedrooms, Each With Its Own Personality

Three queen bedrooms each have a different nature-inspired design, along with the comforts that make a difference after a long day:

Premium memory foam hybrid mattresses, blackout curtains, Smart TVs, sound machines, charging stations and plenty of clothing storage.

One bedroom also includes a dedicated workspace, with office supplies and a second monitor available upon request.

šŸ”„ Your Outdoor Escape

Your private covered patio and BBQ area gives you your own outdoor space for dining and relaxing.

Beyond it, the fully fenced shared backyard opens to Thornton Creek, a gas fire pit beneath the string lights and our forest platform for yoga, stretching or simply sitting among the trees.

✨ The Little Things Matter

The full bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, bright vanity, plush towels and toiletries.

You’ll also have fast WiFi, air conditioning, heating, portable fans and a full-size washer and dryer, making the home equally comfortable for a weekend or an extended stay.

And with no interior stairs, everything is conveniently located on one level.

šŸ‘¶Made for Families, Too

Traveling with little ones? We provide a Pack ’n Play, high chair, baby bath, baby monitor, children’s books, toys and games.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval, and the fully fenced yard makes traveling with your four-legged family member easier. 🐾
