About this property

Secluded Tree-Top Cabin on West Seattle Waterfront

Our private woodland cabin is only 150 yards away from the beautiful West Seattle/Alki waterfront and 500 yards from the 10 minute water taxi to downtown Seattle. It features a King room, sleeper sofa, and a kitchenette.

Our 80 year old Tiny Tipsy Cabin is perfect for guests looking for unique beauty and convenience, without all the amenities of a hotel.

NOTES: Steps to House. Seclusion = No Internet & Weaker Cell Service.

The space
* Cozy, rustic, King bedroom
* Large claw-foot tub & shower
* Kitchenette w/sink, portable induction cooktop, coffee & tea bar, mini fridge, microwave & basic pots, pans, dishes and silverware
* Full sleeper sofa with sheets in living room

Our 80 year old historic shipbuilder's cabin is on a slight tilt, has running water, electricity, and most modern conveniences(minus internet). Lofted up above the forest floor, you may see as many as 80 species of birds (including eagles and peregrine falcons), as well as the odd deer or beaver from the rocking chairs on your front porch!

The Fairmount Gulch is one of Seattle's last preserved river ecosystems, and the lack of pavement means winters can be damp and muddy, so be careful walking up to the cabin. Once inside the sliding glass doors you'll find a living room with walls of windows that look out to the treetops above and the creek below. Our guests enjoy playing with the board games we provide, reading a book on the porch, and soaking in the antique claw-foot tub.

We don't have a TV, but we do have the iconic view Downtown Seattle, our famous ferries, and our resident harbor seals just 300 feet away down the private dirt road. Truly a home trapped in time, the Tiny Tipsy Cabin is everything this old harbor town once was, and is steps away from the thriving metropolis Seattle has become. Truly the best of both worlds.

Please Note: Cabin is lofted up among the trees, and requires walking up 25 steps from the parking pad to the front door. Our property is wonderfully secluded in the trees, but that privacy also means that we have No Internet service available & Weaker Cell Service.

Quirky and glorious
Traveled for business and this property stood out for its uniqueness. Yes, the floor is tilted a bit. That was not a big deal for me. I loved having this place to myself: one or two people is probably ideal. You're about 5 minutes from restaurants and retail, groceries etc. The commute into the city is pretty mellow depending on the time of day and it's a lovely view. If you're looking for a spa/hotel/luxury hotel vibe, scroll on. This place is a charming, cozy, and out of the ordinary. Let me bottom line it for you: You will feel like you're a million miles from the city, but you can see the skyline through the window, you're surrounded by forest, and the property is old and dated but well maintained with some key upgrades. If you're up for a bit of adventure and value location and character over a sterile, cookie cutter stay, this is for you. Thanks for the great week, you guys. Loved every minute of my time at the cabin.

Relaxing Getaway!
My partner and I had such a wonderful time! So relaxing to be surrounded by the nature AND so close to downtown Seattle. We loved being so close to the water but hidden from any drive-by traffic. It was honestly so perfect.

Inviting Cabin in convenient location
The cabin itself was incredibly homey and in a very convenient location near downtown Seattle. My spouse and I had a difficult time finding the location of the cabin but that was due to my inability to read the instructions given! Overall a fantastic stay and we will be returning.

Adorable vintage cottage in the trees
This cabin was so special! It gave us such a sense of peace and nostalgia to be in such an adorable and relaxing place up in the trees. The bed was super comfortable and we slept a lot and read a book on the porch and felt like we were in a tree house. The location cannot be beat and we much preferred West Seattle to the downtown hustle and bustle. I would definitely recommend staying here! If you are a fussy type who doesn't love nature, stay downtown and leave this place for those of us who don't care about WiFi or TV. We didn't want to leave!
