Out the back door
What a gorgeous creekside stay! Kathy's place was peaceful, clean, and comfortable for our family of four. And so beautiful as well. A true forest getaway within the city! Plus, every amenity imaginable in the house. Great communication with our host!

What guests say about the creek
Hosted by Kathy
Kathy set the house up for the trips guests actually take: families with toddlers, dogs on the road, parents visiting UW or a hospital, people relocating for work. It shows in the details reviewers keep naming, from kid-sized dishes and a stocked coffee bar to a dog's welcome basket. She answers fast, too: more than one guest booked at the last minute and found Kathy already on the phone.
