Downriver Cottage is our favorite place to stay in Spokane. We have stayed here several times and are never disappointed. Nathan and Michelle are outstanding hosts. Their place has everything you could ever need. Great backyard deck area for an evening glass of wine. Comfy bed and great shower. Great neighborhood with several close eateries and parks. 5 STAR REVIEW!!!!!

This was by far one of the best short term rentals we have stayed in. The home is so cute and very well appointed. The owners really have thought of everything, including a small basket of snacks and a handwritten note, which is so thoughtful! We will absolutely be back if we have the opportunity.

We have stayed at the Downriver Cottage several times. It never disappoints us. Nathan and Michelle have created a space that is perfect for a couple or small family. Everything you might need is there. The easiest day to describe it, is it like COMING HOME. We arrived a few days before Christmas, greeted by a precious Christmas tree. Such a wonderful stay. 5 star review and highly recommended for your next Spokane stay.

We loved this home and property so much, that we returned to this beautiful property and cozy cottage twice in the same trip! (Our destination was Yellowstone National Park & Grand Teton National Park), so it worked out wonderfully that this is the lovely place we chose to stay at, both going and coming from the parks. This property was everything we hoped it would be! Clean, immaculate, new, warm, inviting with a lovely decor and lots of extras! We could have not asked for anything more! The home is completely stocked with eveyrthing we needed, to extra towels and supplies. The bed was the most comforatble bed we slept in on our 15-day trip, with such beautiful quality bedding. The hosts provided a book which thoroughly explained instructions and places to see and things to do in Spokane. (Unfortunately, this trip we had one very smokey day, so we could not do everything that we wanted to do in downtown Spokane, due to the heavy smoke). Our hosts provided treats for our stay and a lovely welcome card for us on our arrival! Thank you again, Nathan & Michelle! If we ever find ourselves back in Spokane, we would not hesitate to stay at your beautiful place again, which was so perfect for us and such a wonderful stay!

We absolutely enjoyed our one night stay in this beautiful cozy cottage in this very quiet Spokane neighbourhood. Check-in was really easy and upon our arrival was a lovely welcome card and a nice basket full of treats. This pristine home is well stocked with everything you would need for your stay with deluxe bedding and very comfortable bed. This cozy cottage is very clean and in immaculate condition. It is well equipped with an A/C , fans, extra bedding, towels and other extras, if needed. We also enjoyed the large TV in both the bedroom and living room and deluxe coffee maker. A very nice binder is also provided by the hosts with all details, instructions and information on places to eat and places to visit in Spokane. We loved this beautifully decorated home, excellent communication with the hosts and look forward to our next stay at Nathan & Michelle’s place.

Our three-day stay in Spokane was perfect. The quiet neighborhood was a true highlight, providing a peaceful escape after busy days of exploring. Its proximity to all the main attractions, including Riverfront Park and downtown, made getting around incredibly easy. The house was VERY clean and Nathan thought of every detail! We highly recommend it for anyone seeking a relaxing and accessible visit to Spokane.

A wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage
My wife and I stayed in Nathan's Cozy Cottage for a wonderful 4-night stay. It was simply perfect for us, as it was near our "kids" house in North Spokane. So very comfortable. Wonderful accommodations. The Cottage is one of the most comfortable, well stocked and cozy places we have ever stayed. Nathan and his wife did such a great job in stocking their Cottage. He was a great host and communicator. This will become our place to stay when traveling to Spokane. Thanks Nathan. We so appreciated your hospitality.

Cozy and quaint cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Downriver Cottage. It was a fantastic value. Very private, comfortable, and cute.
Would be perfect for couples, but worked great for us and our kids. It was very clean and the guidebook was helpful. We liked being able to park off the street. The house is so small (in a good way!) that the yard/lot feels huge. It'll be really beautiful when Nathan can put in a grassy yard, but we found it very charming as it was.
Everything worked great, from internet, to shower, to stove. I thought the bed was very comfortable.
We would personally prefer the bedding to be laundered with frange free detergent, but we understand that not everyone may feel that way.
Would happily stay there again. If it were just my wife and I, we'd be tempted to buy or build a place like it.
We could've paid about the same amount of money to get a hotel room with a separate room, but instead had a much nicer and more relaxing experience.
Really can't understate how clean and well kept the house is. Nathan has done a great job with it. He was also a very good communicator. We didn't have any questions because everything was covered.
Thank you, Nathan!

Cute little cottage in what seems like a quiet neighborhood
The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. We were so thankful to have a nice place to come back to after a few long days of baseball. The kitchen had all of the amenities needed and a nice coffee pot! Huge perk! The bed wasn’t the most comfortable bed- it was kind of hard, but I’m also very partial to my own bed. We will definitely be looking to book this place again next time we’re in town!
