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 2 people. You’ll find a queen sized bed in a private room that closes off with a solid wood pocket door. Please keep in mind the cottage is only 550 square feet and could be tight for some people (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.

Amazing and perfect!

We LOVED our stay at The Drey! The cottage was so clean and new. The bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and the laundry on site saved the day. Everything we needed and more was there for us. The location was 2 blocks away from family, so it was perfect. We always had parking at The Drey, which was so appreciated as parking in the city was a challenge. The stairs were well lit and do-able. The cottage was exceptional, so we'll be back!

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!

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.

What You Are Looking to Find

Rental was clean and stylish. Hosts were thoughtful, considerate and warm people. We had a small key/lock issue and they were on it in a snap. And, oh, there is no ridiculously lengthy "chore" lists for vacation renters to perform. Friendly hosts and a sweet space to stay. Check and check.

Quick trip, would love to go back!

Ny husband and I were in Seattle from Maui for about 36 hours total for a concert, and this location was perfect - easy to get to and from the airport, close to the spots we wanted to make sure we hit before the show. We used Uber to get around just because it was easier with such a short amount of time there. It was a little pricey at peak times, so depending on where you plan to go and how long you’re there, renting a car may be a better option (if rates aren’t ridiculous!). Karleen was super responsive and helpful (we can’t read instructions well, apparently, and couldn’t figure out the door lock, haha, and she ran out to help us!). We definitely want to return to spend more time in the area, and would book here again in a heartbeat.

Quiet, Clean and Cozy!

Loved staying here! The unit is newly remodeled/built, so everything is nice and clean. We came during a colder time, but the insulation on the main floor is really solid, and has a heater that kept us warm the entire time. Amenities were great, and our host was super communicative and helpful. Definitely will be looking for this listing again when I come back to Seattle, thank you so much!

The location was perfect for being far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to what we needed. We walked to several restaurants, breweries and a grocery store. The place was clean and had everything we needed The host, Karleen was able to meet us at the door and provided so many great recommendations for our visit. We are planning to stay here again next time we visit Seattle!!
