Live Like a Local in Seattle Ballard Near Saltwater Beach and attractions

Like like a local in Seattle's neighborhood of Ballard, located 15 minutes north of downtown Seattle. Historic Treat House, was completely renovated in 2008 with 100% new construction, including radiant heated floors and other traveler amenities.

Treat House is owner-occupied by our family on the second floor and we welcome you to our home. We built Treat House as a vacation rental completely renovating the first floor to include everything you need. Many of our guests enjoy the piece of mind and safety made possible by an owner-occupied vacation rental. With that in mind, we are very mindful of your privacy, especially while on vacation, but are here in the event you need anything.

We are located in Loyal Heights, which is commonly referred to as Ballard. We are also a short 4 minute walk to Caffe Fiore which has been voted "Best Coffee Shop in Seattle" 10 years in a row! Also, most of Seattle's number one tourist attractions are located about 1 mile away from Treat House to include the Ballard Locks, Saltwater Beach at Golden Gardens, Ballard Sunday Market, and Fishermen's Terminal which houses "The Deadliest Catch" fleet of crab boats. Ballard has received numerous awards and recognition as Seattle's best neighborhood for walkability, dining, safe and friendly neighborhood, and many of the cities best attractions.

Live a part of Seattle's history and enjoy the ocean (Puget Sound) when you stay at the former property of 'Harry W. Treat'.

Located 7 miles North of Downtown Seattle, and just a 15 minute walk to the ocean (Puget Sound) you will find a quiet oasis filled with activities. We respect your privacy, and invite you to your own private suite and outdoor area located in our home.

Please find information on Harry W. Treat and the ocean park just a 2 minute drive, or 15 minute walk below:

The park was named by and developed by Harry W. Treat in 1907 as an 'attraction' at the end of the new electric car lines being built by realtors to induce townfolk to take a 'Sunday outing' out of town and through the woods to a picnic or swim at a beach. (Along the way they were made aware of the real estate available!) The Carbine ended at Loyal Way (& 85th) with a steep twisting dusty path down into the park - or those owning a 'tin lizzie' could drive down a dusty county road (approximately the present drive entering the upper park from the north) and down to a small parking area on the east side of the railroad tracks, then by foot across the tracks to the beach.

At that time the northern half of Meadow Point named by the Coast Guard was the site of a shipyard until 1913. To the south the beach curved in along the railroad seaway - all the way to Salmon Bay. The State owns the tidelands south of the park, with boat works and yards by the Bay.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting you.

Ballard Bungalow
This is a lovely light-filled unit in a walk-out basement of a bungalow. The host, Darrell, is very responsive and nice. It is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple as it has a very open floor plan with the bedroom delineated with curtains. Safe neighborhood, easy parking and centrally located, we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for family trip
We are a family with a toddler and we decided to stay here because it's close to the beach, has a kitchen, and looked comfortable for sleeping arrangements. It was indeed a comfortable space for us and we read through the lovely books about the local ecology each night before bed. The hosts sent us some great recommendations and we'd definitely enjoy staying here again in the future. Thanks!!
