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.

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.

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.

Nathan's place is outstanding. A perfect place to stay in North Spokane. It is clean, comfortable, well stocked, had everything you can ever need. Bed is comfortable. Full size kitchen. Even has a stacked Washer/Dryer. We have stayed here several times and consider this our home away from home.

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.

Long comfortable stay in Spokane

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.

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.

We loved staying at Downriver Cottage. Super updated and very pleasant even with 90-100+ temps. Nice, big shower, comfortable bed and couch. Host, Nathan, was very helpful and solved a small problem very quickly. We will stay here again and again when we return to Spokane.
