Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

Snug cottage with plenty of space for a small group! I was in a party of 3 with friends and family, and the inflatable mattress option for the living room really made it quite comfortable. Staying multiple days, having a full kitchen with all the essentials was an absolute game changer! If you're there for the zoo, this is an excellent choice as it's less than a 15 minute walk to the West Entrance through a nice neighborhood. All inquiries were answered promptly by the staff, and it's evident the property is well cared for. Would really love to stay again!

Some shimmying with the front door is required to get the lock/unlocking mechanism to work, but once you figure out the method it goes smoothly. A broom, or a more obviously placed broom, would've been nice for keeping the kitchen tidy during our stay.

The nearby Green Lake was awesome for walks. Several grocery stores and interesting restaurants within a couple of miles.

An air mattress as a second bed is OK, but not great.

* Location: Perfect spot! Just a quick, easy 10-minute walk to Green Lake: super convenient. * Parking: Street parking only, but we didn’t have any trouble finding a spot. Just a heads-up: the street is pretty narrow, so be careful when opening your car door since traffic can get tight when cars are parked on both sides. * The House: Cozy and well-kept! The beds were comfortable, and everything looked to be in great shape. Heating was a little tricky without a thermostat, but honestly, it was just a minor inconvenience. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals, which was a big plus.

* Wi-Fi Issues: Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn’t working when we arrived, and despite contacting the property owner, it couldn’t be fixed during our stay. This was a big inconvenience because I needed internet access for work, and the TV relies on streaming, so we couldn’t use it either. What made this more frustrating was that previous reviews mentioned the same problem, which suggests it wasn’t resolved before our visit. Reliable Wi-Fi is a basic expectation these days, and having it down for multiple guests over several weeks is disappointing.

Location was everything to me because I love green lake
