About this property

Private, Relaxing Home Away from Home with Courtyard—Sleeps 4!

Welcome to a piece of history in Spokane Valley, The Cosby Cottage! This modern-style cottage sleeps 4 and is long-rumored to have originally been built by Bing Crosby for his parents in 1939. Fully remodeled in 2023 with thoughtful upgrades and decor. Walkable to a city park and bus system, with easy I-90 access to downtown Spokane, airport, CDA, mountains, lakes, and shopping. Amazon Fire TV for time indoor. Ample private parking. Scent-free sheets and bedding. Coded fence gate lock and electronic front door deadbolt. We look forward to hosting you! **PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, our beautiful courtyard tree died and had to be cut down, and the current outdoor photos don't reflect the change. We're sad to see our tree go, but happy we can still provide a beautiful, peaceful courtyard for your stay!**

A Great Find

Crosby cottage was a very special place. Beautifully appointed with so many thoughtful touches. Lovely patio area, very comfortable bed, & spacious living room and bathroom. So enjoyed the nespresso and French press coffee options. We would most definitely make it our choice when we are back in the area.

The best cottage yet!

What a quaint, neat place to stay. This cottage has everything and is clean and in a perfect location. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us but could easily fit 3-4 as well. It’s so adorable inside and out and likely my most favorite cottage I’ve stayed in yet! Sarah also is wonderful and was happy I got to meet her too. She always answered right away and is so kind and helpful! Definitely would stay here again if back in Spokane Valley!

Great stay!

This cottage was very clean and was a great stay for us (2 adults, a toddler and an infant). I prefer VRBO over hotels because of cleanliness, and this place was perfect for that reason. The listing did say 2 queen beds, but there is only one. However, that did not impact our stay. The directions were easy to follow to find, and the check-in process was very easy. If we need to stay in the area again, I would definitely book here!

Quaint, easy and quiet

Great little place with all the amenities. Was originally built in 1939, I believe, next to a gorgeous, huge house. Very close to all I needed. Not a place for a big dinner or more than 2 more people, but thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful time.

Cute cottage!

This was just as listed and nicely appointed! Great area of town, off street parking, private courtyard and lovely finishes. My husband and I have remodeled a lot and they did a beautiful job updating this cottage. I truly appreciate the coffee, filters, even sugar creamer and nice snacks. It was very thoughtful of the owner. Would highly recommend.
