Dog-friendly retreat with gorgeous garden & setting - near the best of Seattle

The Ranch

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked into a beautiful garden of lush greenery, The Ranch offers a quiet, calming respite in the midst of the best of Seattle. It's the perfect retreat at the end of each day, offering landscaped grounds where you can dine alfresco, watch your children play in the yard, and unwind in the shade of lofty Douglas firs.

This home is located in the Wedgwood neighborhood of Seattle, a location that gives you easy access to the entire north side of the city. The University of Washington, Green Lake, the Woodland Park Zoo, and the shores of Lake Washington are all within three miles. Venture just a bit farther and you can find yourself downtown (seven miles) or catching a spectacular sunset at Golden Gardens Park (five miles).

Step inside to be greeted by a living space full of mid-century style, where walls of picture windows bring in the beauty of the natural setting. You'd never know you were in the city as you recline on the sofa to stream movies, play board games at the dining room table, or step into the kitchen to get started on dinner.

A number of little touches make this home particularly special. There's a dedicated office nook where you can log onto the WiFi with a view of the garden. Families with children will also feel welcome, thanks to the provided high chair, booster seat, baby gate, kids' bikes, and Pack 'N Play. Leave the day's clothes to refresh in the washer/dryer in the basement, sit outside in the breezeway with a glass of wine, and retire to two comfortable bedrooms for a restful night's sleep.

Wonderful setting!
A truly wonderful setting! Felt like we were in forest with such amazing green gardens and privacy. Yet very close to everything we wanted to see. Great accommodations and very clean. Will stay here again.

fantastic - as good as the pictures
This property is probably my favorite in my almost 20 year history of staying at VRBOs. It is clean and looks just like the photos. The actual grounds are huge and super private; it felt like we were in the middle of a forest or park yet in a great location in Seattle. Only thing of note is that like most places in Seattle, there is not air conditioning; we happened to arrive on a date where the temp was in the high 90s and broke the record by 6 degrees (so just very unlucky timing for us). Despite being a bit warm during the day, at night with windows open and fans it got plenty chilly, so it was not an issue. Also had one very minor drain issue that the response was immediate for, so know they take great care of the guests here. A very strong 5 stars!!!

Wonderful spot in the city!
The Ranch is a wonderful, peaceful spot in the middle of a big city. The house has a midcentury vibe that’s awesome. One bathroom and 2 bedrooms, funky kitchen and gorgeous grounds made this a perfect hangout for the two of us. I would definitely stay here again!

Visiting family.
Great isolated location in a very busy neighborbood. Good security system, many extras. Needs a good 2nd blanket (two beds). Has a bit of a musty smell (tolerable). No free TV.

Wonderful location
It was a surprise to see the home in person. It felt like being in the country, it was so quiet and surrounded by trees and so much greenery. The living room was spacious. The kitchen could use things to make coffee making easier and better. Overall, it was clean, comfortable, and felt very secure.

Great house in the Woods.
Comfortable property, literally in the Woods. Fantastic retro look with unobstructed windows that makes you feel like you’re outside. We were two friends. Bathroom a bit small, kitchen is great. Beds are comfortable sleep but not like a comfy hotel bed. Note: bring your own hair dryer if you want more than a very small Conair dryer. Coffee is available for first day or so.

Country Getaway in the City
This is a lovely place - like a getaway in the countryside, but very close to all the things to do in Seattle. We enjoyed our stay very much. We would like to come back in the summer to make more of the outdoor facilities.

Great gateaway
The property big enough for 4 people, with plenty of space to work (if you are working from home). The house is surrounded by plants/trees which make it feel more private. Great place if you want to escape and relax.

Gorgeous!!
This property is stunning! We stayed for UW graduation weekend. The garden is a beautiful backdrop for unwinding at the end of the day or coffee in the morning. We cooked and enjoyed family time with our grad. So much better than a hotel!!!
