Duncan -- October 2021
Having had many years in the hospitality industry from ownership , training at all levels to management, I have never given a 5 star review until now. This property, what it offers, the eye to detail, and everything in between Fantastic. This property is what I think all AirBnB operators should strive for. The perfect balance.
...and here are some others:

Susan and Bob anticipated every thing we needed and had it waiting for us in the house. She was very accommodating and available to assist if needed. She and her husband are great hosts, and we will come back the next time we are in town. You can't go wrong with this rental!
Scott -- July 2026
Bob and Susan were incredible hosts. They went way beyond what we were expecting. Their home was beautiful and well kept. Several small instructions placed throughout the home made it easy to handle everything. We arrived with a fresh loaf of homemade bread on the kitchen counter and a stocked refrigerator. One day during our stay, Susan baked a fresh summer fruit galette for us. Most enjoyable for me was soaking in the hot tub each evening. We will be back next summer for sure. Thank you both. You are the best.
Dylan -- July 2026
Susan and Bob were the most amazing hosts. always very responsive, and made us feel like we were staying at a relatives. Very convenient location with a bus stop right around the corner to get downtown with, and the backyard is the stuff of cozy dreams. We almost didn't want to leave the place to explore because we already found a magical place! Should I ever find myself coming back to Seattle, this is the first place I'm looking when I go to book.
Elizabeth -- June 2026
Cannot recommend this [guest house] enough. Beautiful, charming inside. Then step outside to the most peaceful, relaxing deck, hot tub and landscaping. My family and I didn't not want to leave. Susan and Bob we're absolutely wonderful hosts who made everything so effortless.
Ricardo -- May 2026
Susan and Bob were great hosts - thoughtful and helpful. They went the extra mile to help us with a big package we sent ahead of time. The kitchen provided options for coffee/tea, cereal, sandwiches, and snacks. A loaf of homemade bread sat on the counter with eggs, bacon and milk in the refrigerator.
Mary Beth -- August 2025
We had a great time visiting with family, and found this to be one of our best Airbnb experiences because of the hospitality & generosity of Susan & Bob. They anticipated our needs & reached out to make us feel at home. The yard was so enjoyable! The sleeping accommodations and numerous amenities were much appreciated. Hope to return!
James -- August 2025
Susan & Bob are absolute gems and the world needs more people like em!
This home they welcome us strangers in to is just enchanting. It’s super comfortable and every detail has been thought of. The hot tub with the tree hanging over it is magical. Also, the treats Susan surprised us with were amazing! I don’t know if they’re looking to adopt a 32 year old man, but sign me up! Everything was absolutely perfect, and I will be coming back as often as possible!
Jason -- June 2025
This is the best air bnb we’ve ever stayed at. I could not be more impressed. Susan and Bob were such good hosts. We were met with homemade banana bread, a fresh loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. They even provided snacks and breakfast food. The place was perfectly clean and the backyard was beautiful with all the flowers and birds. The location is great, with good access to downtown Seattle. If we visit Seattle again we will 100 percent get this air bnb again.
Michelle -- October 2024
This was such an amazing stay in West Seattle. I am thankful for people like Susan and Bob who know how to HOST and make the experience special. If I had an AirBNB home to rent out, I swear I would take every idea from these 2. The way they had their home catered to the guest, was what truly made our stay above the top. My favs were the backyard, the hot tub, beautiful greenery in the backyard, the fresh bread and apple butter left for us, along with a bottle of wine. The home was awesome, beds were over amazing to sleep on, and so much in the home that you really don't need to worry about if you forgot something! It was so cozy and comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet, and I hope to return soon!
Kristi -- September 2024
5 Stars isn’t justice for this place, Susan & Bob deserve 10 stars. A beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood great communication and help if needed. The place was charming just as the photos described and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to stay here again on my next trip to Seattle.
Jessica -- August 2024
I am not generally a review writer, but our stay was so exceptional that I can’t help but put down some words about it. Our hosts were over and above expectations- 100% available and responsive without being invasive. We received a bounty of good will and goodies - stocked fridge and kitchen, freshly baked goods, specially delivered children’s toys and books. Bathroom shelves are lined with any items you might have forgotten. The hot tub was a favorite with kids - and adults after a long day. Thank you Susan and Bob for creating such a travelers oasis!
Lydia -- July 2024
I can’t say enough good things about our stay at the Old Apple Tree Guest House! We loved all the beautiful flowers in the back yard and the deck out back! The hot tub was an awesome distraction in the evenings. We had a great get away with our friends and celebrated a birthday as well as sightseeing downtown. Took the bus to Lumen Field to see an epic concert. The bus is super close and convenient. We could walk to restaurants for dinner in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay!
Nancy -- June 2024
My husband and I, along with our 6 and 9 year old grandchildren loved staying at the Old Apple Trees Guest House. After a long flight from Pennsylvania we thought one of us would need to run out and get basic supplies, but everything we needed, and more, was there waiting for us. What a wonderful surprise. The rest of the house was just as thoughtfully laid out and prepared for our stay.
Once we had arrived, we never needed to contact the hosts, but I am sure that if we had needed anything they would have responded promptly.
We will definitely try to stay here again when we return to Seattle.
Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality!
Caren -- January 2024
This was our second time staying at Susan and Bob’s place. They continue to go that extra mile to embrace their guests with a comfortable home that we rarely see elsewhere. Susan and Bob leave homemade bread on the counter for us and a meal. This time, delicious pot roast warming in the oven and fabulous Waldorf salad. Such a welcome treat after long distance, exhausting travel. And they reach out with helpful suggestions, including recommending turning on a space heater in the bedroom and shutting the door on a colder-than-usual evening. Bob sent us a text offering to bring over an ice scraper for our rental car in case we needed to clear our windshield the following morning. Susan and Bob are thoughtful hosts who truly care about their guests.
Theresa -- June 2023
Look no further, this is exactly where you want to stay! When you first drive down the quiet street you see this darling home with beautiful landscaping. You enter the home (super easy check in) and you feel so comfortable. It’s colorful but not overdone. There are many comfortable seating areas. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. On the counter was a bottle of wine, fresh baked bread and homemade apple butter. Plus milk, oats, bacon and eggs she had in the refrigerator waiting for us and a vast array of coffees and teas. The bedrooms are very beautiful with robes in each of the closets. The bathrooms were stocked with anything you might have forgotten. I wish we had time to spend in the hot tub outside because the backyard is beautiful and the weather in June was perfect. I asked permission to bring some family over for dinner. Susan added leaves to the table and extra chairs. She even made us a wonderful dessert. She is a host that goes well above and beyond.
Tim -- June 2021
We have stayed in Airbnb's all across Canada, Europe and the US and have not had an experience as nice as our stay in the Apple Tree House. We are a couple and having access to an entire house for 11 days is like being at home.
Right from the start Susan and Bob were the consummate hosts. Quick to respond to questions and anxious to learn about our flight schedule and any food allegories, Susan asked about leaving us a lunch based on our arrival time. When she heard we were vegetarians, She made delicious deviled eggs, pastry and home made apple butter. The fridge had butter, eggs. milk and other staples to help get us settled. There is a French press for morning coffee . The house is very clean and has 3 nice bedrooms - all with queen beds, along with 2 full baths on the 2nd floor and a full laundry. Each room has ample sized clean closets with plenty of wooden hangers and fresh robes. In the bath rooms, there was soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc, with wonderful fluffy towels. There is also a powder room on the 1st floor. The kitchen has many fresh spices and pots, pans, dishes and food storage containers (everything you could need). In addition, there was oatmeal and other pantry staples for your use. The back yard is an oasis of birds, flowers and trees. We spent time enjoying the quite and peaceful space in the morning and again in the evening. We used the grill for a cookout with our son, DIL and 18 month old grandson. When Bob and Susan saw we had our grandson, they brought over a booster seat for him.
Susan and Bob's prior work experiences certainly prepared them vey well to be outstanding Airbnb hosts.
Highly recommend this home and look forward to staying here again on our future visits to West Seattle.
Karen -- December 2019
This was our second time staying with Susan and Bob and once again they went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!
We arrived late at night, to an amazing meal that Susan had left for us. There was homemade soup, bread, an apple galette and a lovely bottle of wine. Not only was the food delicious, but Susan had made it all allergen free, to accommodate my daughter’s life threatening food allergies. No easy task, I can assure you!
The house was also stocked with coffee, fruit, all the breakfast essentials one would need, as well as many other supplies one generally needs for cooking.
The house is conveniently located, with quick access to coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, the wonderful Lincoln Park, the airport and downtown Seattle. We will definitely stay here again!
