A detailed guest book is provided both online and in print. Suggestions for activities, restaurants, parks, breweries, shopping, Farmer's markets, hikes & neighborhood activities will be enclosed.

The Neighborhood:
Quiet, wooded Thornton Creek neighborhood, providing a restorative, low-traffic setting while still inside Seattle. It's great for guests who want calm after busy days. Self check-in with a Smart Lock and free on-site parking make arrivals and departures flexible, and public transit connects you to downtown attractions, stadiums, and work centers. The area is close to Northgate Mall for shopping and dining options and sits near major medical centers: Kaiser Permanente Northgate about 1 mile, University of Washington Medical Center Northwest about 2 miles, UW Montlake about 5 miles, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research about 6 miles.

Creekside trails and nearby green spaces put outdoor time within easy reach, with a creek trail just steps from the house and on-site outdoor features like a private yoga platform, deck, and fire pit for stretching or evening gatherings. Cultural and sports venues - including UW Husky Stadium, T-Mobile Park, Lumen Field, Climate Pledge Arena, and Memorial Stadium are a short trip away, and downtown Seattle attractions such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Aquarium are within easy 15 minute range.

Wonderful time was had by all

We had an amazing time at Thornton Creek. Spring was peeking out and we spent a lot of time hiking the creek, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying the back deck. The amenities offered are above any other vacation rental I have ever been to. We definately will return. You can't go wrong!

My family had a wonderful stay at Thornton Creek. The house was clean and had just the right amount of space for two adults and two young children. It had all the amenities we needed, including a pack-n-play for my 2 year old. The location of the house was close to the creek, and we spent a couple afternoons enjoying it. The host was very responsive when I had inquiries and provided helpful recommendations for restaurants and experiences. It's a nice retreat from the city, but also only 20-30 minutes from downtown.

Thea’s 3rd. Birthday

We stay in Seattle a lot, as we have a grandchild there. We rent houses so we can have our dog and grandchild interact and we can have family meals together. This is the nicest place we’ve stayed and the quiet location was perfect. The Thornton Creek greenbelt behind the house is surreal.

Great spot for a family trip away

Cute home with everything you need for a trip away. Cozy beds, well stocked kitchen, wonderful yard with space for the kids and dog to toss a Frisby. Very pet friendly. Only note that was not clear when I booked is this is a single home spit into two units. So if you want your own private place, this is not that. it was a non-issue for us, and we'd gladly come back again.

Pampered Getaway

This property is perfect for anyone wanting a quiet environment in an urban setting. The owner has made sure there are lots of the little things (plush robes, charging cords, sleep masks) to make you feel pampered during your stay. The property is in a quiet neighborhood with the woods in your backyard if you are interested in a nature walk. Groceries and other stores just a short walk away.

Nice place to stay

Our main reason for staying in this area was that it was close to Seattle Childrens Hospital. We were traveling for medical and it was a short drive. There is a park/playground within walking distance but we didnt get a chance to use it due to weather.The house had everything stocked, laundry, bathroom, and plenty of items in the kitchen.The only negative was the dog poop around the lower part of the property and yard. We stayed upstairs, there was a person staying downstairs with a dog. There are rules that all garbage and recycling needs to be taken to the cans prior to check out. Unfortunately there was dog poop in the yard and near the cans. We did not take advantage of the yard partially due to this. Overall it was decent. And great communication with the host.
