Tucked in the hills of the Shoreline community sits this beautiful two-level home. Enjoy two living spaces and an ultra-private fenced backyard and patio surrounded by forested greenery. Sliding glass doors in the dining room open to the ultra-private patio and fenced backyard. Sizzle supper on the grill and dine alfresco at the table. This quiet wooded neighborhood is nine miles north of downtown Seattle, with nearby parks, trails, restaurants, and grocery stores. The Shoreline area is located just north of downtown Seattle and has over 330 acres of parks and recreation space. Cruise less than three miles to Carkeek Park and explore abundant hiking trails offering stunning views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Your home is less than a mile from the Interurban Trail, with nearly 12 miles of paved surface. Enjoy quick access to a plethora of eclectic eateries and cafes.

Sprawl out on a comfy sofa and two armchairs and enjoy a movie on the 55" TV. Unwind downstairs in the bonus living area equipped with a futon, a set of chairs, an electric fireplace, an art table, and a 42" TV. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Extras include a Keurig coffee maker, blender, and toaster. Sip coffee at the four-seat table in the kitchen. When it's time to eat, gather for home-cooked meals at the dining room table set for four.

The bathrooms are each stocked with a complimentary starter supply of toiletries. Sleep soundly in the primary bedroom, complete with a 32" TV and en suite bathroom with a double vanity. Amenities include a washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and books.

Forest Retreat is a lovely home

The house is beautifully furnished, with comfortable furniture, and a large kitchen with every kitchen implement and utensil you could ever need. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location

Very nice house in convenient location. A few quirks, a few lamps missing light bulbs and the TV kept turning itself on even though turned it off multiple times (finally I just muted and ignored it). Clean and well stocked. Lots of steps, which is a bit challenging for elderly (we had an 86 year old in our party).

House says it has air conditioning which turned out to be portable units in the closets that you had to set up yourself. Ran out of toilet paper second day. No dish cloths and no garbage bags. Let the host know and they said sorry but still no dish cloths , toilet paper or garbage bags. Overall the stay was okay.

Great stay would definitely come back

The house is very spacious and well appointed. Lots of kitchen supplies and space. Everything is very updated and the home was super clean. Just a few small details kept us from giving a 5, some of the lights didn’t work, a couple of the outlets in the bedrooms weren’t working, the remote batteries were dead, just little things that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location was very accessible and close enough to grocery stores and a gas station and a pretty short drive to the city. Management was super interactive and the mobile app is a great touch. We would stay there again for sure!

Good location; Well equipped house

We stayed there for 2 months--so here you go.... The Good: Close to the best grocery store in Seattle--Central Market; lots of room; well stocked kitchen; attached garage was wonderful for rainy days; 3 bathrooms was awesome; local TurnKey staff was very responsive; enclosed back yard for dog was super. The Bad: Seemed like lots of lightbulbs were out or burned out while we were there (hard to read a book at times); there was no usable vacuum cleaner for us to use (the one they had just pushed the dirt around); lots of steps so if you have knee issues now, they will be worse after staying here.

WOW!!

This was an amazing home. From the entrance all the way downstairs into the hidden bedroom oasis. We were there for the reunion of my husband and the son he had relinquished as a newborn 36 yrs earlier., and his beautiful family. This home was perfectly sized for everyone. The beautiful kitchen served its purpose beautifully with it's very modern appliances. While the tables had ample seats for everyone to sit together and chat and get to know each other. Then off to bed in the very comfy beds in the very roomy bedrooms. QUIET, we di f nt notice any road noise which was appreciated as well.we stayed 2 nughts and would love to stay again sometime. Thankyou from the of

Home is well decorated and is fully upgraded. Nice kitchen and nice rooms. Nice showers. Can use some cleaning of the walls to keep the home looking nice. Easy access to food and stores. The exterior rooms tend to hear a lot of street noise. Great place to stay with family.

Beautiful home base for our week in Washington!

This home was a wonderful place to return to each day during our time in the Seattle/Shoreline area. Kitchen is amazing with all sorts of things you might need but hadn't thought to pack. Like water bottles! And travel mugs! Bedrooms are good sized with extremely comfortable beds. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. Back deck was a great place to start the morning. We absolutely loved this house!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. The surroundings make you feel like you're very secluded even though you are close to every amenity and a short drive to downtown seattle.
