For 30 years five of us guys have been getting together for "Summer Camp." This house was perfect for drinking coffee and embellishing the same stories we've shared over the decades.

We had a lovely time. It was great being right across from the lake and going for a morning stroll before exploring the city, which was also not too far from the home.
If you have a low profile vehicle, be cautious approaching the driveway.

Excellent location and such a cute house. Yes, it’s an older house but it has a lot of charm! I personally love old houses so I felt right at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Was perfect for our family. Lovely old house with all the amenities you need. It was helpful to have the mini soaps and shampoos and the soap and dishwasher tabs for the kitchen. The lake was beautiful and we felt close to everything! Thanks for such a great stay! We will come again.

Highly recommend the home for families with teens and tweens! There was space for all of us to be in our own areas after a day out together. The kids loved the basement rec room and set up their gaming station and played games, watched movies and had plenty of fun with the table tennis. We made many meals in the well appointed kitchen. Sleeping rooms and bathrooms were great. Loved the architecture of the home and the mature green trees surrounding the house. We would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at this nice craftsman on the north side of Green lake. Great neighborhood. A bit of an ant problem. But we really enjoyed playing games and running around the lake. And it is a lovely house.

Very spacious place with “older house” charm. The kitchen had the basics included and, as a plus, each bedroom had a smart TV. Terrific porch for people watching and, while the basement is a little chilly, it was easy to fix the thermostat to make the house most comfortable. Would highly recommend for families, or friends- any time of year. Oh and their board game collection is on point:)

The home was OK, cleanliness could be improved. Our biggest problem was the fact that ants covered the upstairs and downstairs bathroom as well as the kitchen. Whenever we sat down on the toilet, they would crawl all over us. The game room and furniture were nice.

Nice location. Spacious. But guys, I should not have to go and buy toilet paper or paper towels or soap. Anyhow, We left some for the next guests.

Cute little older craftsman house by Green lake. Very close to coffee shops and restaurants. Nice view and trees around. Quirky older home with steep stairs going upstairs to a jack and jill bathroom which was nice for our two kids age 3 and 6. Home could use some remodeling and deep cleaning. Furniture and and bedding were comfortable and clean though.

My husband and I met our two college kids there for spring break. We all came in from different states for this trip. One of my sons as well as myself had not been to WA so we wanted something in the area of many places. The house was in a great location to venture out from. We were close to Fremont, Cap hill, Seattle, Chinatown, Pike Place, the list goes on. We enjoyed walks around the lake every morning and grabbed coffee at the local coffee shop on the lake. It was just perfect!

This home was a great place for our family to stay during our vacation. The location was the best part. It is only a block away from some great restaurants, a bakery, and coffee. It is directly across the street from Green Lake, which has paths for walks and jogs. The house itself was beautiful. The only complaint was that the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms were quite steep which was not safe for our 3 year old, but it is an older home and these are normal stairs for this type of home. We would gladly stay again, and probably will.

We stayed here with our three little boys, it was wonderful being able to walk over to the lake everyday. The house is near two coffee shops, pizza and ice cream. So we had a great time.
A few minor issues not the fault of the house. There’s no way to childproof the backdoor and it opens very easily. My 1 year old was very interested in this. The driveway entrance is older with faded paint and several times people parked there and blocked it, mostly on the weekend.

Kitchen was pretty well equipped. We had to disconnect the smoke detector while cooking as it sounded constantly. The ping pong table was a big hit. And we enjoyed the games. Bedding and bedrooms were good.
The main floor bathroom door doesn’t close properly (been repaints many times.) (Many of the doors don’t close properly.) and our 11-year-old kept getting stuck in it! Knobs on upstairs bathroom are loose. The stairs, to the basement with the laundry and ping pong table, are quite hazardous for seniors (door at the top opens inward and blocks the rail.)
The location was great, across from Green Lake it’s park surrounding and 3 mile lakeside trail. And, it’s around the corner from Duke’s! Great fish restaurant. All in all, we really enjoyed the home.

Overall this is a 5 star rating with a responsive and well run management team. My caveat is for those who come during hot months. It's clear from the listing there is no air conditioning. The management team had many fans blowing but when it is global climate change it isn't enough. The ground floor windows mostly do not open and if they do open it's just an inch or so. Some had no screens. Also, when there is smoke in the air, we had hesitancy opening the windows at night to cool down the house. Also, it would be useful if there were a few more cool blankets. The thick comforters are great but only when it is cold. Most of the year this won't be a problem of course.

I enjoyed the house at Green Lake. It is a very nice property in a great location for the lake, University of Washington or downtown Seattle . There are a lot of restaurants close by and the 2.8 mile walk around the lake is perfect for runners or strollers. The house has 2 bedrooms on the main floor and two bedrooms upstairs. The basement holds a gaming room, and a washer and dryer, which was very convenient with the lake. I was fortunate enough to stay just after they opened the tunnel on Aurora or Hwy 99 and it makes travelling North/South so nice. Avoiding Interstate 5 made travelling to and from Seattle a short trip. It is also just a short trip North to Northgate Mall. There was nothing we needed that was not provided in the property. There are plenty of TVs and the internet was fast and reliable, beds were comfortable and they even provided beach towelsThe only drawbacks to the property were the inside steps are very steep. My adult daughter fell down the basement steps and it's a concrete landing. The off street parking is nice, but it is very tight and the real estate office next door often parks in the maneuvering space. I would definitely stay again if my travels bring me back to Seattle.

I expected there would be some other charges above the nightly in the listing, but the addition of a Host Fee, a Service Fee, and tax brought the total to an over 62% increase in the "listed" cost of the rental. Part of this was explained by Vacasa as payment for superb management availability and responsiveness, coupled with "professional housekeeping". As demonstrated below, neither of those justifications proved real or fulfilled.
I should have been alerted to those future failures, when in response to my inquiry as to why our nightly rate was 25% higher than it was for the days before our arrival, Vacasa's representative glibly responded that "rates can shift throughout the day". The pictures of the house on the website, failed to show the following:
Missing whole or partial slats in venetian blinds in the living room and bedroom; main bedroom windows were frozen shut (paint); overflowing trash barrels when we arrived; rheostat dimmer light switch knobs were stripped. There was a room air conditioner in one picture at the house-none there on arrival-no mention of fans. Written questions were never answered prior to arrival. I gave Vacasa a chance to respond to the above before writing this, but all I got back were canned responses (i.e., "we apologize for the inconvenience", we "understand if this matter has been frustrating to you", etc.).
