A week in Bryant
We stayed for a week at Creekside House. If there is a better or more carefully presented small house anywhere in Seattle - well! I should like to see it. This house was a delight to stay in. The interior standard was extremely high and it's clear that a lot of attention has been given to the fixtures and fittings. The area was great, too, with not one but two brilliant supermarkets within a short walk. The owners' communication was faultless and they could not do enough to help us. They were always anxious to help in any way with either the house or with advice about Seattle generally. In summary this is the perfect VRBO two-bedroomed house for any Seattle stay and we have every hope and intention of making it our first choice to stay again when we return.

Creekside House
This is our second stay at this property and we would be very content to make this our base in all future visits to Seattle. It is outstanding in every way: it's impossible to dig down and find a single demerit. The house is warm, comfortable and extremely well specified. It is in a beautiful suburb with the University campus a reasonable walk away on the Burke-Gilman Trail. The wonderful Met Market is a short walk down the street. On top of that the owners live just next door. Doug and Kathleen could not be more helpful, communicative or attentive. I recommend this VRBO house unreservedly!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen & Doug Guthrie

Host profile image
We love to travel and enjoy staying at VRBO properties and 'living like locals' whenever we can. Growing up in the Midwest and Northeast, and spending our early career years in Atlanta and Los Angeles, we have called Seattle home since the mid-90s. With its combination of beautiful water and mountain vistas and a lively urban vibe, Seattle has been the perfect place to raise our two sons and grow a business.

We acquired Creekside House in part to stave off the infill housing boom in close-in Seattle neighborhoods. With its lush garden, urban stream and rare street-to-street lot, Creekside House became our hobby house - allowing us to design and craft our vision of a cozy, private urban retreat. As life-long crafters and do-it-yourselfers, we completed a good portion of the renovation work ourselves and have filled the house with one-of-a-kind touches which we hope you and others will enjoy.
