The Emerald Homestead in the Heart of the Emerald City

Ideally located near the major crossroads in Seattle, the Emerald Homestead is conveniently situated for those visiting to experience all of what Seattle has to offer, just minutes to downtown, I-90 and I-5. Set against the backdrop of sweeping panoramic views of Lake Washington, Mount Rainier and the Cascade mountain range, this architect designed home provides a great base for those who are attending weddings, family reunions or conventions to relax and recreate in a luxurious yet comfortable setting.

The neighborhood amenities offer many services within walking distance in this quiet bedroom community of single family homes.From the fine dining at Daniel’s Broiler to less formal fare at Bluwater Leschi, Heyday and That’s Amore as well as the casual dining at QED Coffee and Golden Wheat Bakery, there are several quality options for eating out within a mile.

Access to Lake Washington beaches and boat ramp are just a few minutes walk from the house. Designed by the same landscape firm that created Central Park in NYC, and known locally as the “String of Pearls”, Colman Park, Frink Park and Colman Beach all add a sylvan setting that brings nature into the city.

Cleaning guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
We’ve created 16 point cleaning checklist based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We have a 48 hour waiting period in between rentals.


The flowing open floor plan painted in soft earth tones and anchored by rich exotic hardwoods, surrounds you with the finest of materials all within a jewel-like setting.

A true gourmet kitchen awaits you, complete with Viking designer series appliances, beautiful solid cherry cabinetry and opulent slab granite countertops.

Retreat to your expansive master suite complete with view deck, double sided fireplace, sumptuous bath with jetted tub, hand-crafted stone surfaces and one-of-a-kind blown glass vessel sinks.

This abundant light-filled home envelops you with the beauty of nature year round.

Great Space
Our host Mark was wonderful and more than accommodating. We had a few hiccups (on me) and he helped us through. He brought fresh flowers, coffee, bananas and several other things. We were all pleasantly surprised at his generosity! We certainly wasn’t expecting that! The house has plenty of towels and linens and beautiful views! Clean comfortable and a perfect stay for our friends to cook and celebrate our annual Bills game together! This year in beautiful Seattle! The emerald was a gem, with a fireplace and views! Book it!!

Weekend Trip for Wedding
We had a wonderful stay at this property! We were in Seattle for a wedding. We had 10 adults comfortably stay and get ready for the wedding. There is a wonderful bakery a few of blocks away. We frequented there a few times. The house itself was stocked with all the comforts of home. Mark was great to work with!

Beautiful home base for a family trip to Seattle
The house is very comfortable and well furnished. It's plentifully stocked with things like toilet paper, detergent, and shampoo. I find that such a nice touch because there's nothing lamer than only 1 roll of TP for a week and you run out right before the last day! This property has some great stuff for littles including a toddler crib (a real one not a sh*tty pack n play) and a collapsible stroller. The only major downside of this property is the freeway noise. As other reviewers have stated, this noise is constant day and night. For me it was white noise for the most part, but it did deter us from wanting to sit outside. My husband filmed me dancing with my daughter on the porch, and the traffic noise is audible in the background lol... it truly was a presence on the trip. It was fine for our five day trip, but I wouldn't want to live with that for long! Mt Baker is an amazing neighborhood. Excellent parks in the vicinity, a REALLY fabulous Italian restaurant within walking distance, great access to all the Seattle sights... we really enjoyed our stay.

Plenty of space for 8 adults. Comfortable with gorgeous views though be aware there is a major bridge with constant 2 way traffic directly in front of house which is not shown in any pictures. The sound of traffic is noticeable and constant though not at all disruptive at night. Owner super responsive and house is well fitted out with anything you might need. Recommended for a big group!

Great house, great neighborhood, great view
Our family of 8; 4 teens, 2 adults and 2 seniors, stayed in June and had a great time. The house held all of us more than comfortably, the kitchen and eating area was large enough and well stocked, as were the bathrooms. The house is in a great neighborhood with amazing views. I would recommend to friends and family for sure.

Short Family Trip for Graduation
My family and I (9 people) stayed here this May, and we loved this house. Mark was easy to work with and communicated quickly. The location was close to downtown and relatively easy to access (lots of steep hills, but that's Seattle). The only critique would be that the space is older and could use a little bit of TLC in some areas. The views from the back deck were spectacular, and we were blessed to have a view of the Cascades and Mt. Rainier 3 for four days when we stayed there. The property has a lot of character, and the master bedroom is special with its size, views, and amenities. We had a wonderful time and loved the space!

Vrbo. In Mt Baker
This property has a stunning view of Mt. Ranier and Lake Washington. The property fit our needs as a family with bedrooms for everyone. The property manager was very responsive. We used Uber quite a bit and they were always there within 1-3 minutes. There is a coffee shop a couple blocks away . You do have to be able to do stairs or hills. We loved our stay. .

A Great Holiday Stay
We met up in Seattle for the Christmas Holiday, and this house served us well with plenty of bedrooms and gathering space for seven adults. The kitchen is well appointed, with everything you need. An added feature is the neighborhood. We found a couple of good restaurants, a bakery and a coffee shop just up the hill. In all, we were glad to be together, and this house was a great find. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful views of Mercer Island and Mt. Rainer
Our stay was nice, the house for the most part was what we expected. The views are outstanding, but the house is need of repairs both inside and out. The doors going to the decks are both rotting. The housekeeping staff needs to improve or be replaced, there are spiders everywhere, the coffee maker had coffee grounds still in it upon our arrival. Light to the master shower would come on and then off. The other two switches in the master bath, which we believe were for the fans did not work. The same thing with the bathroom on the first floor and that shower handle would pop off. There are other items we could list. Do not be mistaken what we are saying, this would be a great house, if it would receive a little TLC. We're not quite sure it is a Vrbo Premier house.
