Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Clean and updated quaint cottage wedged in between Green Lake, Woodland Zoo, and Phinney Ridge. This is an ideal place if you are looking for a place to enjoy walks around the lake and quickly moving in between the Green Lake neighborhood, Phinney, Fremont, and Ballard. This is an ideal place for two coupled adults, a family of four, or if you're looking to work remotely with access to a one gig fiber line. Due to the unit’s location next to a main avenue, there may be potential street noise.

Awful experience. Avoid!I put my credit card in for the deposit on the third party platform for payments which went fine, and assumed I would be charged automatically for the stay. The host messaged me the night before my stay and said I had one hour to pay or else and that I needed to submit a “professional selfie” even though I had already put a selfie in the payment platform.I get to the house and it is not a “quaint” place ideal for working remotely as advertised—it is right on the freeway and the office/bedroom measured 80 decibels which is VERY loud. I left after one night of a one month stay but the host would not refund me.Host communication was poor—they never answered phone calls and their communication through the VRBO app was terse and unhelpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This was a tremendously disappointing stay. We moved in with two dogs, including an 8 week old puppy, hoping this would be a refuge between a number of cross state moves, health issues, and new employment. Between the construction happening, the lack of basic household goods, the rundown aspect of the house in general (holes in the walls, exposed electrical from defunct HVAC equipment, peeling paint etc) and the extreme proximity to a very loud highway we were pretty on edge over the first week but were willing to stick it out because of the logistical pain of moving. However a week into our stay we were treated to the absolutely disgusting experience of someone power washing the house with unsealed windows and doors, spewing a misty stream of filthy water all over the living room, entrance vestibule, and bathroom hallway. We were forced to move out of the Vrbo completely, received no compensation or consideration from the host, and were forced to go 12 rounds with VRBO support before receiving a refund for the remaining days on our reservation. In short, A for VRBO support finally figuring out the gravity of the situation and F- for this host.

I come to Seattle a couple times a year to visit family and booked this property for 9 nights because of the location and based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I didn't have the positive experience noted in other reviews. The photos show a nice well-manicured front which didn’t accurately convey the foot high weeds I had to walk through to get to the front door. The interior was clean but the furniture was tired and not comfortable. I experienced multiple occasions where the outer door latch stuck in a locked position and I couldn’t access the house without having to contact the property owner. Other issues: a number of things falling apart or not working properly (such as the shower handle which had to be repaired by a handyman, mini blinds, the outer door handle, spotty internet, insufficient fans). The claw foot tub seems like it would be a sweet touch, but it’s awkward to shower in and there’s no place to put your toiletries other than the sink which requires you to open the curtain and get water all over the floor. Also the noisy street directly next to the house should not be underestimated. Even with the provided earplugs it was a restless sleep each night. I won't stay at this property for my any future trips.

Super Clean but Horrendously Loud

We booked this based on proximity of family and the Woodland Park Zoo. House is represented nicely on the website. However, Highway 99/Aurora Ave is quite literally in the backyard and traffic noise is 24 hours a day and horrendously loud. The house itself is comfortable and clean.

Perfect dog friendly vacation

Charming one bedroom unit walking distance from a huge park and a delicious coffee shop. I drove my two golden retrievers to visit friends in the area and this was the perfect home base for our stay.Easy instructions to access the property and a great local guide was provided when I checked in for details about close points of interest

Green Lake cottage

House is an older home,darling and the right size for only one or two. The heating is individual (older electric space heaters) so rooms are hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. No heating for kitchen area which was uncomfortable. Located next to a busy freeway(in back of home) be prepared for noise at night and early morning commuters to city. Overall, it’s a safe, decent location to Green Lake, and walking distance to good restaurants. Wish the manager would’ve been more flexible with a late check out.

Nice location but lots of street noise

This is a cute cottage but backs to a very busy road. Lots of street noise. To gain entrance, there is a very small keypad located inside the front door frame which is not easily visible. It took me and my college-aged daughter 15 minutes to locate it, and the owner insisted on texting back and forth instead of calling me (which would have solved the problem much for effectively). Further complicating matters was an older keypad and key lock box on the side door.
