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.

We absolutely love this place. This is the second time that we’ve stayed here. I would highly recommend this property. Coming back in June hoping it’s available then.The only downfall is a very small bathroom, however the mid-century decor, and the yard is fabulous makes up for everything..

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.

Adequate home with some drawbacks. The beds are horrible. Only 1 towel rack. No USB ports. Musty ...

The best part of the house is the extra large lot that is very pleasantly landscaped and immaculate. It affords incredible privacy.

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!

Beautiful home

We loved the comfort and style of the home. The secluded property allowing for wide open windows to view the manicured landscape made for a very country in the big city feel. Also the home was well equipped with everything needed down to a dog bed which was also loved by our beagle.

What a find!

We were so fortunate to find the ranch! It was close to where we wanted to be and such a beautiful property! We enjoyed a lot of outdoor time- coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evening. Gardens and grounds were beautiful- amazingly peaceful! This property must be very special to the owners! The beds were kind of hard and the carpet shampoo was overwhelming when we first walked in but cleared it out quickly and enjoyed our stay!
