Full of hipster boutiques and award-winning restaurants, a stroll around Ballard and the waterfront is exciting, delicious, and scenic. Watch boats and yachts at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, and watch salmon migrate during summer and fall.

Guest Access

Good to know

Located steps away from downtown Ballard and right across from Safeway and Ballard market, it offers a perfect combination of privacy and walkability. Access to the cottage is through a separate fenced entrance to the right of the main house in front. There is a paved path that leads to the cottage. The cottage has its own keypad lock, so guests can go in and out as they please. After a day of fun, lounge in the privacy of your cozy cottage complete with a modern kitchen, plush bed, and fresh linens. Welcome home! Parking: Lots of free over-night street parking Layout of our home! 1st floor: - Bedroom #1: Queen bed w/ twin fold out bed - Bathroom w/ shower - Mini living-kitchen-dining

Other Details to Note

If you dislike dogs, please take note! > We do not offer cooking condiments but you are welcome to buy anything you need from a nearby grocery store. > We utilize the triple sheet methods for all our beds, which means we do not usually use fitted sheets or duvet covers. This ensures all your linens are fresh and clean (you might be surprised to know that without the triple sheet system, some hotels/hostels actually do not change their duvet covers!) > Please note that Seattle is fairly temperate even in summer so we may not have portable AC set up by default, but we will provide and set up portable AC upon request on warmer days. > The basic pricing per night is for 2 guests.

We LOVED our stay at Sherry’s place!! We stayed for new years week for a mini vacation and the space was perfect for our trip. Super walkable to Ballard’s cute downtown — with stellar restaurants, cafes, and cute shops. The cottage itself was cozy, chic, and clean. We loved the interior design and enjoyed the gas fireplace every night. It felt private and quiet — like a little sanctuary! But yet was also so well located to things to do and places to eat. I’d highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back again — making it an annual tradition!

I stayed in Sherry’s place for about a week to visit my adult kids who live nearby. It was perfect for my needs. It’s a cozy house on a quiet alleyway, very convenient to the heart of the Ballard neighborhood and an easy walk to many fun shops, restaurants and brew pubs. I will definitely stay here again on future trips to Seattle.

Find us

Walk around Ballard easily since the cottage has a 92 walk score. To get to downtown and Pike, we recommend grabbing a Lyft/Uber - it’s less than $10 and way easier and cheaper than paying for parking in downtown. Public transportation costs $2.50 per person each way, and there are buses to downtown as well.
