About this property
Cozy restored farmhouse on the river! Hot tub, wildlife and trails to explore!
Welcome to our renovated farmhouse on the Little Spokane River, with nature views out every window and 200’ of river access to enjoy. Come for peace, quiet, and a slower pace surrounded by wildlife and the historic charm of the home originally built in 1902. Visit area attractions such as Mt Spokane or Greenbluff. The setting is rural but just 5 minutes from major grocery stores, movies, parks, an aquatic facility and access to walking and hiking trails right out the front door. Our hot tub is clean, warm and ready for you!
This property tends to be a great fit for guests who appreciate a quiet, nature-focused stay and are comfortable in a self-guided, owner-managed home rather than a full-service hotel environment.
The farmhouse and approximately 1.5 acres of land are dedicated spaces for guests to enjoy exclusively, including a large grassy yard and gazebo with river views in the midst of park-like mature landscaping. Additionally, guests have access to 200 feet of river frontage via a short trail from the cottage. The river frontage is a semi-private area of the property that may occasionally be shared with the homeowners in the main house next door. The main house is separated from the guest cottage by about an acre of land and lots of foliage, making it totally private most of spring, summer and fall. We have built a privacy fence for winter.
The Little Spokane River has an average depth of 4 feet and a gentle current. The river water is clear in the summer with a sandy/rocky bottom which makes it a great swimming hole. It can also be navigated with kayaks or paddle boards. It is cold but refreshing on a hot day. Please swim at your own risk and supervise children at all times. We recommend water shoes.
Owners live nearby but we leave guests totally alone for a peaceful stay to themselves.
