Coming home to this space makes you feel like you've left town - even though town is a convenient walk or bike ride away! It's the best of both worlds.
Watching fawns (or your dog) frolic in the field while the setting sun lights up the mountain is a regular delight of summer evenings in the little house under Mount Jumbo.
You are welcome to use the rug, table, chairs, etc. - or not!

The neighborhood

About the building

If you appreciate simplicity, nature, mountain views, and easily accessible trails, but also want to be walking distance to downtown and the university, this little freestanding house in the coveted Lower Rattlesnake neighborhood might be perfect for you. Uniquely situated down a quiet alley under Mount Jumbo, the open floor plan, overhead beams, and proximity to the mountain give the feel of a cabin. A gas log stove offers cozy warmth and ambiance in the winter and a new energy-efficient mini split keeps the place cool in the summer. The entire space was recently renovated with new flooring, doors, trim, a brand new beautifully tiled shower with luxurious water pressure, and many new energy-efficient appliances. It's a great space for dog owners with the adjacent open field (owned by the landlord) for stick-chasing and a trailhead essentially right out the door. Outdoor areas include garden beds on a drip system, spaces for outdoor dining and basking in the colors of the setting sun on the mountain, a storage shed for bikes, skis, etc., and private, off-street parking for 2 cars. (Note: the photos posted were taken in 2025 and the furniture has since been removed.)
