Guests seem to hang around a lot in the cottage. There’s wireless, cable TV, a great video library, a new iPod dock that also plays CDs, the private hot tub ready all year, binoculars to follow the eagles as they cruise the treetops, board games to play, and the famously comfortable kingsize bed.
We also want you to enjoy all Seattle has to offer within a short drive. Take in the drama of Mount Rainier, cruise the harbor in Elliott Bay for great views of the city and marine wildlife, rent a kayak, visit some world class museums or the historic Seattle underground, go whale watching, enjoy some of the best theater and music on the west coast, or cheer for your favorite professional or college team at nearby SafeCo Field or Qwest Field.
Most people rent a car while they’re here, but some prefer public transportation – light rail and buses – when they venture into the city, to save money on gas and parking.
Several supermarkets and a Trader Joe’s are within a 5-minute drive of the cottage for guests who love to cook or who want to “stay in” or save money. And it’s fun to get fresh fish at Pike Place Fish Market to bring home and grill on the little hibachi on the cottage deck.
You can get a variety of restaurant meals delivered to your door through 2goservices.com , or pizza at Burien’s own Bison Creek Pizza. And Cove to Go, a nearby catering service, will prepare custom gourmet meals just for two – and they deliver.
