Cottage vacation rentals in Ballard, Seattle

Amazing experience staying at Morgan’s place. Beautiful home, all the necessities available & extra including Netflix and games for a rainy day. Spent the weekend kayaking, jumping in the lake and enjoying the views from the hot tub. Truly a wonderful experience at a wonderful cabin. Thank you!

Superhost rankings are well earned (and I've found) well deserved. Shelly is a Superhost for a reason. The Lake House in the Woods is everything that you'd expect from a premium listing. Comfortable, quiet, well appointed, and yes, the star of the show is most definitely the lake view showcased by majestic Mt. Ranier on the horizon. During our stay, each night ended with a dip in the hot tub alongside cocktails. If the ultimate endorsement is time spent at an Airbnb - we asked Shelly to extend our stay - twice. We'll be back!

The beach side gem was the perfect location for the wedding we attended at Kiana Lodge. Cabin had a great deck to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon wine. Hot tub was a bonus besides the beautiful views. Paul was quick to respond to questions and provide local recommendations.

This is a really nice place to be, very pretty little forest surrounding one of the most pleasant places to stay - well appointed kitchen, comfy furniture, and easily one of the best Airbnb beds I’ve slept in.

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

Sarah is by far the best airbnb host I have ever had. She is very responsive and communicative, and she decorates impeccably well. Her place is neat, tidy, and truly felt like a home away from home. Also, she was so kind and provided us with delicious local treats.

Cris has been wonderful! We needed a place to relocate as an extended stay while we house hunted on the island. The cottage is fully stocked, comfortable, and close to all the things we need in town. Cris has gone above and beyond, from sending update on road conditions, dropping by with bottles of wine, answering all questions, even forwarding alerts about orca sightings around the island! We’ve felt so welcome here and it’s made our transition to the island so much easier.

Quick and responsive communication and a beautiful environment (and hot tub). Great stay!

We had a great stay at Sheetal’s place! The place was very clean and she always checked with us to make sure everything was going smoothly! They even left us a little snack welcome gift! If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely stay! Our little pup also enjoyed the stay immensely! Would highly recommend!

This is going to read as if I'm a paid advertisement but I assure you, I absolutely am not. What I am is a late 1900's born individual navigating all of the whirls and swirls of living life in these seemingly not-so-sane times with a partner, a Queenager and "puppy-cat." (IYKYK) Eli & co. welcomed us, accomodated us, and uplifted us. The space is exactly as it appears but the value comes from being made to feel safe and protected, and shown what is the true Spirit of Aloha. I cannot say enough or speak highly enough to convey our experience. THE nicest, most helpful people and a gorgeous, fun, cozy space. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay...and want to come back, FACTS!

Perfect vacation. Exactly what I wanted in a beach house. Cozy and comfy and right on the water. So peaceful. Saw a pod of whales, several eagles, humming birds, sea otters, bunnies and deer. Loved reading the history of the home and property. I did bring a set of cotton sheets. All the beds had polyester sheets which I don’t care for. I always bring a set just in case. Wish I had brought a sheet pan. I couldn’t find one in the house. I improvised and got by just fine. The evenings were stunning especially looking north. All and all, loved it!! Thank you Cohoe Cabin owners!!-

I’ve had such a fantastic stay at the Silver Lining Cottage! The space is incredibly cozy and feels just like home. I’m usually quite picky with mattresses, but the bed here is exceptionally comfortable—I slept like a baby every night! Linda’s garden is absolutely beautiful, with great views and the sweetest scents of blooming roses. It’s such a joy to step outside each day and be greeted by birdsong and fresh air. The location is perfect—within walking distance to Southcenter Mall and easily accessible by both car and public transit. The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, making it ideal for remote work. Most of all, Linda is one of the kindest, warmest, and most thoughtful hosts I’ve ever met. She goes above and beyond to make sure her guests feel comfortable, and her communication is always prompt and caring. No wonder she’s a Superhost! I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this charming place to anyone visiting the area! ✨✨

We stayed for two months. Jon and Colleen were great hosts -- responsive, friendly, and attentive. The cottage looks in the pictures just the way it is. The amenities were very nice and we were provided with everything we needed. We highly recommend staying at this backyard cottage.

The cottage is cute and cozy. Troy responded quickly to inquiries when we checked in, explained everything. The Cottage was spotless and well maintained, and the views are beautiful.

Rosy and Salman's place worked great for our needs. Very accommodating and responsive. Thanks!

We were in Port Orchard for a graduation and we stayed at David’s place for peace and quiet after fun filled days! It was just perfect! We loved having our coffee on the porch in the morning while enjoying the view! The place was spotless and comfortable and we felt right at home! We will definitely stay here again any time we’re in town!

This property was exactly as described, and incredibly clean! The furnishings were inviting and we had everything we needed. We felt like our comfort was prioritized and that we were trusted with quality items. Kenton was exceptionally responsive and helpful, sending links to local attractions and making sure our check-in went smoothly. The location was peaceful and relaxed, surrounded by beautiful flowers and vegetation. As secluded and private as it felt, it was an easy walk down the street to restaurants, a market, shops, and the waterfront. We really appreciated having everything so close and not needing to fight for parking! We loved our stay and highly recommend this rental. Low-key hospitality at its finest :)

Such a divine escape into nature, less than 20 miles from downtown Seattle! While there I saw: fish, crab, clams (squirting), otter, deer, crows, seagulls, osprey, bald eagle, kingfisher, and herons. Delightful!

Andrea&Phil's place was just what we needed. My daughter and I had a Concert in Seattle and we added a few extra days to our trip. Their place was just like it was described, they had notes all around the place which was nice to see all the different place they had been too. They were very responsive when I would reach out since they were out of town for our stay. We also enjoyed the delicious treats they left for us. Would definitely recommend 😊

Lucky me to have found this beautiful cottage! As others mentioned, it is the perfect retreat - quiet, private, spacious, and so peaceful - and if that wasn’t enough, the location also couldn’t be beat - just close enough to town for walking but far enough to feel (and be) removed from the commotion. I was there alone and felt very safe. Zoe was super friendly and responsive. In short, a perfect place to stay on Vashon - highly recommended!

We had a WONDERFUL time at Elizabeth's cottage! Her place was very comfortable! She was an AMAZING hostess!

The house and property are a special place to hang out on Puget Sound. It is a very warm and pleasing house. The views and property are extremely inviting. The place is very well appointed and very comfortable. I would stay here whenever the place is available which is probably not very frequently. So, I hope we can stay here again. It would be my first choice and we have stayed in many good places in the area.

This was a great location, very private and a great view and just a short lovely walk to the beach and great restaurants! Shauna was lovely and quick to respond and very flexible on check in times!

We had a wonderful stay at Alison and Bjorn's place. The ameneties, tidiness, and cleanliness stood out the most. My favorite part of my stay was the various heaters located throughout the home, especially in the bathroom. We would definitely stay here again.
