The house was cozy, clean, comfortable and perfect! The hosts were gracious with amenities and I especially was grateful for a safe neighborhood and private driveway that was long so our vehicle was off the street by a decent distance. The location was perfect for our plans on the north side of Spokane.

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.

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.

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 had a great stay in Spokane when we were here for almost 2 weeks. The cute little house was clean and comfortable with all the comforts of home. The kitchen had all the tools we needed. Any communication with the hosts was prompt and helpful. The location is great— 15 mins or less from anywhere we needed to go.
