Enjoy a morning jog around the lake before breakfast, or simply enjoy the beautiful lake view from most rooms. You can walk to many nearby shops and restaurants. Downtown Seattle and the famous Pike Place Market are just a 10 minute drive away. You may choose from 4 lovely rooms all with private baths, some with views of lake, jetted tubs, or gas fireplace. We serve a gourmet breakfast each morning around our big oak table in the dining room. Coffee, tea, and cookies are always available. Please let us know if you have allergies or any special dietary requests. We love Seattle and look forward to helping you enjoy your stay while you are here.

    We wanted accommodation close to our family without imposing on their hectic schedule. We were there to visit our new 2 month old granddaughter and 3 year old grandson. Julie & Blayne exceeded our expectations with genuine hospitality, specific information about shopping and dining and a warm inviting home away from home. The breakfasts were scrumptious and our every need was met with a smile. The added unexpected bonus was the location right on Green Lake. Walking, running, boating, swimming or just watching were at our doorstep. It was a continual parade of all age outdoor enthusiasts. We've never seen such a vibrant and well utilized natural recreation area as Green Lake. When we return to Seattle this is our first destination. Thank you Julie & Blayne for welcoming these grandparents from Muskoka, Ontario, Canada into your home and making our visit memorable. Mike & Daphne

    Green Lake Great!

    My husband and I recently spent 3 nights at the Greenlake Guest House. What a wonderful choice for the ambience, convenience, and comfort! Blayne and Julie have covered every aspect of staying at a B&B - from the heated tile floors in the bathrooms to the guest refrigerator, dvd library, breakfast menu, complimentary water & sodas, fresh baked afternoon treats, and the convenience (and joy!) of having a Keurig coffee maker for guest use, as well as a computer and printer to use in the living room. The bath products were top shelf - loved the lavender spray - and the breakfasts were wonderful (fresh blueberries right off the bushes)! We also appreciated that breakfast was served anytime between 8:00 and 9:30. They even emailed us ahead of time to let us know of the "inn sitters" (Gary & Liz) who would be there when we arrived (they were great!) The convenience of walking to several local restaurants and shops was so nice. We took the public bus into downtown - another convenience. The park and Green Lake across the street was an added benefit since we didn't feel like we were in the bustle of the city. A sight-seeing tour company even picked us up right at the B&B (Let's Tour Seattle) which was a good thing since the only problem was parking, especially if you arrive on a summer weekend. There is only on-street parking and with the park & lake across the street, it can be quite challenging. We found a spot right next to the house and left the car there the whole weekend! It was a nice cozy place to come back to after touring in the rain - just like being home.

    From start to finish, our stay at the Greenlake Guest House was delightful! The breakfasts were something to definitely look forward to, especially the puff pancakes with fresh fruit and the yogurt/fresh fruit cups. Our room was in the front of the house-there is a bit of street noise so if you're sensitive to that, a room facing the back of the house might be better. We loved the bathroom-heated floor and jetted tub! Convenience to Greenlake Park was the best-a nice walk, even on a rainy day! Upon returning from my walk, I discovered that my daughter had enjoyed the tub with bath salts and was all wrapped up in one of the Greenlake Guest House bath robes! We will definitely return!

    A wonderful place to stay in Seattle!

    I was recently in Seattle to visit my son, who lives in the Green Lake area. I found the Greenlake B&B on Trip Advisor and I am so glad I stayed there. My room was cozy - everything was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The Jacuzzi bathtub came in handy after a long day of walking around Seattle. I was pampered with marvelous home-cooked gourmet breakfasts every morning. Yummmm! Julie saw to my every need and was always glad to share her knowledge of the area. The Green Lake area is a very nice part of Seattle and is close to several convenient bus lines to downtown and the university area. Hopefully, I will be visiting my son again soon and I will definitely stay at the Greenlake B&B again!

    Delightful Experience
