A perch to enjoy Green Lake

Switched from hotel to bnb due to parking costs. Always loved GreenLake, so looked near there. This was a good location, the right size for a couple, and the full kitchen was a great plus.

Good location. My wife and I are old. Lots of stairs and bathroom on 2nd floor make it difficult for us. Air conditioner was loud - hence earplugs in the bathroom?😉. Owner was nice and Mighty O’s doughnuts are great. We played a round of Pitch and Putt which was fun.

Great location, close to the lake, surroundings were beautiful. Inside the house very good, I like the order and cleanliness. I just was a little worry of what exactly the noise restrictions levels were.

Great stay, clean and well maintained, close to UW

Great stay! Beautiful place, clean and well maintained. 2 adults and 2 adult children, was tight but worked out well. Loved our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat! Was a quick drive to UW campus and loved the restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Beautiful neighborhood and felt safe!

The only think we didn't like was the parking, so we would suggest the owner of the property make the parking space in front of the garage door available to guests. Thanks!
