This was my first visit to Seattle & I couldn't have asked for a better house to
stay in. It was always a pleasure to come back here after a long day of
walking and roaming around the city.

Nathan Moya

I arrived not knowing what to expect - and the house delivered. Close
enough to the city (water taxi) but far enough away to be quiet/quaint.

Very good inrto to Seattle!

come and go as they please and have lots of wonderful times together.
Gathering people from Louisiana, Arizona, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania

Teri and Dan: Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your charming house. It truely was a home away from home for our family of 5. It was nice after our long journey back from
Europe to have a restful and warm place to stay while we were waiting to move into our house. We were all very comfortable. Our teenage daughters (as well as Art and I) were thrilled with the way the rooms were decorated and with the comfy beds. The house was so well appointed it's clear you tried to think of everything to make your guests feel at home. We also appreciated being so close to everything in West Seattle. We oftened walked to the stores and restaurants. I also want to thank you both for your kindness and willingness to be flexible with us as we waited for our house to be ready. It was great meeting you both and getting to know you.

Thank you for the use of your wonderful home. We were able to have a
wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. We came for a visit to
Seattle from California, picked up some or our family in Portland and had a
great visit!

Our 7 year old granddaughter did not want to leave - she felt your home was
like a story book cottage and fell in love with the one "girly" bedroom. She
felt like a princess! We loved being close to our son and his family. We saw
Hummingbirds all week.

The picture is from Jalynn ( a beautiful drawing of a Hummingbird). Jalynn
LOVED the art supplies you provided.

Again thank you so much for the hospitality.

Dear Dan and Teri-

We had a wonderful stay at your Hummingbird House. The beautiful
decorations, stunning artwork and attention to detail made for a unique home
away from home experience.

The location was ideal for our numerous Seattle adventures. Our boys, Lucca,
age 5, and Kai, age 3, enjoyed our bus rides to downtown and Alki Beach. We
sailed across Elliott Bay aboard the water taxi, rode the monorail to the
Seattle Center, picnicked atop the space needle, hit every stop along the
South Lake Union Trolley and finally rode the Duck Boat!

Many thanks for sharing your home!

Dear Teri and Dan,

Thank you for sharing your lovely home. It was a comfortable and enjoyable
stay for our family reunion and UW graduation. We are from Beijing &
Hangzhou, China and Texas. This cute house provided us an unique way to
experience American life and best place to celebrate Hai's graduation!

Our parents lover your garden, our son loves you piano and Bo's favorite is
the kitchen. We took lots of photos of Hai's doctorate gown in your backyard.
They will surely bring us wonderful memories of Hummingbird House.

Sincerely, Bo and Hai

Our parent's message is translated from Chinese:

We're from China coming to Seattle for Hai's PHD graduation ceremony at UW.
Thanks for letting us stay in your home and having a short but wonderful
reunion in Seattle. Beijing and Hangzhou, China are the most beautiful cities
in China. Beijing will also host the Olympic games in 2008. We sincerely
welcome you to visit our country and our cities in the future.

Dear Teri and Dan-

Please accept our sincere thank you for our enjoyable stay at your beautifully
appointed Hummingbird House. Your directions to get here were great! The
warm welcome note with fresh flowers was also appreciated. "Anna" ( a
Northwest Hummingbird) danced her welcome at the windows each morning:
she seems to acknowledge that this is indeed a special place. Our visit here
certainly has enhanced the overall enjoyment of this vacation. It provided a
warm, cozy, comfortable home away from home. Your artwork provides a
spirituality that radiates a peaceful and beautiful ambiance. I feel blessed to
have had this opportunity to be here and extend to you our very best wishes,
to you and yours.


God Bless You and this house for kindess, love and inspiration!

Always..

Thank you so much for sharing your charming home with us. We loved the back yard and appreciated the thoughtfulness and organization of every aspect in the house. The beach was also easy to visit between other activities. We were impressed with Seattle's emphasis on recycling and learned a lot of how we can contribute better to re-using at home.
Thanks again!

Dear Teri and Dan,

What a lolvely "Hummingbird House" you have here. It is so beautifully
renovated and perfect for our family reunion. We did a lot of sightseeing and
just "hanging out" as the grandkids say. Yesterday was the best with our trip
to Banibridge Island. Your resident hummingbirds always welcomed us home
while our son from California grilled beef in the back yard. We had some
good bridge games, too!


Thank you for your absolutely delightful hospitality!

Thank you so much for providing a week that our family will remember forever! Three generations of our family from Texas and Seattle gathered here for a week of stories, outings and memory making. This beautiful house worked perfectly in every way. There was plenty of room for lounging, gathering, sleeping, bathing, and eating. Every detail was perfect.


Your artwork is amazing! You are a great artist! It was so much fun to see all your work. I dabbled in watercolors and acrylics some in my youth, but haven't done anything for the last 15-20 years. It made me yearn to do it again. Maybe when I retire I can take it up again.

Thank you so much for helping to make our trip a glorious event. If we get to come to Seattle again, we will be looking you up!

What a terrific home away from home! We absolutely loved staying at
Hummingbird House! The kids had a great time as did we. You have a
beautiful home that is extremely comfortable and roomy for our family of 6.
At the end of the day, and the end of the sightseeing and various tours, it was
nice to get out of the downtown area and retreat to the quiet and relaxing
accomodations of your home. We would definetely recommend Hummingbird
House to anyone wanting to visit Seattle and not have the typical hotel
accomodations.

Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your place!
