Cozy Banana Cabana w/ soaking tub heated floors in secluded garden

This tranquil getaway is perfect for the travel enthusiast with an eye for the unique and artsy! In the cool fall and winter season enjoy the cozy ambience of the cottage featuring heated floors and a corner soaking tub. Our newly built bungalow features beautiful wood beams, stone, tile heated floor, king size bed, corner soaking tub with large rain shower head and a British Colonial/safari/world travel inspired interior. The cabana looks out into a secluded backyard with used brick patio, mature banana plants and bamboo, outdoor fireplace and gentle water fountains and beautifully planted flower pots. Spring and summer months are perfect for enjoying our lush garden with outdoor fireplace.

The space
The Banana Cabana is situated in the backyard of our property with the main house at the front. The bungalow is a fully separate unit with your own entrance by keypad. Upon your arrival, your choice of red or white wine or non-alcoholic beverage will be waiting along with a special Seattle treat. Sit along the raw edge wood bar and enjoy a glass!

You are welcome to enjoy any of the yard spaces and we'll be sure to respect your privacy while you relax in these shared areas. The garden in summer is a magical space with stone and stucco fireplace, flowing fountains, comfortable picnic space, many small lights (if desired), flowers and birds. In the colder seasons you are welcome to sit by the fire before you retire inside to the cozy space complete with heated floors and triangle soaking tub.

The living space includes a fun retro record player complete with an ecletic mix of records. You can also relax with your own bluetooth, play CD's, tapes or radio. You'll find a new 55" screen TV that pulls out to swivel toward living room or bed. We have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime options available (and cable live TV through Hulu). The house is wifi enabled. We'll be there to help get you online. Large windows open out to the garden and a large skylight above create a bright and cheery space.

The bedroom is part of an open floor plan designed for one or two people. A comfy king size bed is made up with luxurious quality sheets, comforter and quilt. Overhead, you'll find a rattan fan to cool the room if needed. In cooler months, you'll find the floors toasty warm and wall heaters for your control. Cozy robes await your arrival.

A cute kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and accessories for all your cooking needs. We'll leave the basics such as sugar, seasonings, cooking oil, coffee and tea to help you get started. A hand cut raw-edge wood bar with bar stools look out into the garden and provide a great spot for a relaxing meal. We also have convenient electronic charging at the bar and at the record player.

The bath is well stocked with soft fluffy towels, hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Kick back after a day of sightseeing in the triangle tub with a glass of wine.

The house is being cleaned to the specifications of standards to ensure you have the best possible experience with us.

Parking is available on the street, usually right out front.

Guest access
The Banana Cabana is a fully contained, stand alone cottage with it's own keyless entry. The yard spaces are shared but if you are using an area we will give you your space and privacy.

One of the best stays ever!
This guest house truly has everything! The host has gone above and beyond to make sure everything is well stocked, well appointed, and cozy. We loved having our morning coffee in the sitting area with records playing. We will definitely be coming back here if we are ever in the area again!

Perfect stay
The Banana Cabana was one of the best places we have ever stayed! I wish we had more time in the area. We brought our newborn and there was a perfect amount of space for a pack n play next to the bed. The bath and heated floors were amazing, and the host provided snacks and wine. The cabana is 10 minutes walking from local breweries and 30 minutes walk from Ballard. There's also a very clean and quick bus to and from the main square.

Convenient location, oasis-like experience
Great destination in West Woodland. Convenient walk to grocery store in Fremont. Bus stops, around the corner, took us to all destinations near and far. Also a strong Lyft presence. The VRBO unit was beautiful appointed and offered a retreat-like experience. We also used the backyard sitting areas for r and r. The owner promptly answered all inquiries before and during our stay. No noise it was a quiet experience. I would welcome a return opportunity to stay here. Thank you, Alice.

Banana Cabana
My partner and I had a great time at the banana cabana! We would definitely return when going back to Seattle. The place was very cute and imaginative and well though out. The items provided by the host were very nice extra touches and we felt at home. It was a short bus ride to get to the downtown area.

Repeat customers of the Banana Cabana - we love the place, the location great, the owners are awesome & responsive, and we can easily walk to a lot of the breweries/eateries in the Ballard area. Thanks!!! Will always look for this place to stay when we are in town.

Amazing!
We do quite a bit of traveling and this has been, by far, my favorite place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and almost takes you to a magical place. The owner definitely did everything right; decor, appliances, extras! The only thing I would note is that it is one open space. The bathroom is even open on top. This was only a little issue for us bc my husband is an early riser and I stay up late. Couldn’t really turn on a light or take a shower without the other noticing. BUT I would still stay here again over and over. It was that amazing. Love. Love. Love.
