Over $250

Check out the little Craftsman hideaway called Many Waters Guest House (709 Washington St., 206/323-7800, http://manywatersguesthouse.com [1], $270–360 depending on how many bedrooms you need). Soft beds, a fenced backyard with jumbo gas grill, and the fact that you don’t have to share the house with guests not in your party make this an incredible pick for small groups or families.
