About this property
Idyllic Cottage Memory Making with Pool & Outdoor Fireplace under the Gazebo,
Stress drops off your shoulders as soon as you escape to "great-grandma's country home" only 5 mins off the freeway! Make lifetime memories in any season. Summer months around the private pool. Warm up from deep Winter with fresh baking in the fully stocked kitchen. The front yard orchard provides blossoms in the Spring, cherries in the Summer, and apples in the Fall. Friends are encouraged to join you instead of severely restricted.
See why guests say, "This is the VRBO that other VRBO's want to be when they grow up." Even those having a working vacation find they are refreshed.
WALK OUT YOUR BEDROOM to a PRIVATE PATIO OVERLOOKING THE ORCHARD. Each bedroom, while opening onto the living room, has direct outside access; great for some independence without disturbing your housemates! Early Risers enjoy the sunrise in the orchard. Night Owls stay up late chatting under the stars. The pool is fabulous for a summer swim under those stars or sitting by the fire making s'mores on cool spring & fall evenings. The winter provides its own magic with snow-covered, hibernating trees resting before spring life returns.
The Cottage & Grounds of the Orchard are the PERFECT GATHERING PLACE FOR FRIENDS & FAMILY! I readily encourage additional visitors on any given day during your stay. If having more than 8-12, please notify the host/co-hosts. There are on-site parking options, no need for your Visitors to park on the street. Permissions for more Visitors and/or small Private Gatherings/Events require permission and some may have an additional fees. IM host via app for information.
PRIVATE POOL SHARED ONLY WITH HOST: My family/cohosts are the only people sharing the pool, gazebo & yards with you. We occasionally have friends visiting during your stay. There is plenty of room for all and we can work around requests for private time.
RAISED GARDEN BEDS behind the Cottage have strawberries to snatch off the vine during much of the summer. We often have extra veggies from those around the pool. Explore the variety of trees, shrubs, and potted flowers that attract butterflies and bees.
WHERE TO GO & WHAT TO DO: Restaurants? Coffee? Grocers? Shops? Walking, Biking, Kayaking? We can let you know what's walkable nearby and spots worth a short drive! My cohosts and I have lived in the area for a long time and love to share our favorite places around Spokane, Eastern Washington, and Northern Idaho.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES: The Rock Room has doors which are ADA width and minimal transitions between bath/bed, living/dining room. The bathroom is ADA friendly (wide spaces, open under sink, grab-bars), a shower bench is available on request, and a wheelchair ramp to the outside door can be arranged with advance notice. The kitchen is NOT wheelchair friendly.

Pleasant Stay, Knowledgable, and great suggestions
Accomidations where great, our host pointed us in the direction of great parks and eateries that led us to more adventures. We definitely intend to return in the future.
We came over for our son's graduation. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and cooking a couple dinners! The outside area was so relaxing and we enjoyed great family time out there!
We will definitely stay again!
Perfect spot for a quick volleyball tournament stay. It was lovely to come back from a long day to a comfortable setting for a good nights sleep. Appreciated the ability to easily communicate with the owner.
Private, quiet, cozy cottage, yet just minutes from shopping and restaurants. Easy nearby interstate access for travel to Spokane or Coeur d'Alene. Fresh apples from the little orchard were a bonus. Owner very pleasant and responsive.
We loved our stay here. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, and immaculate. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Debi was extremely helpful and friendly. The neighborhood was quiet but close to both downtown Spokane and Coeur d’Alane. We enjoyed having a fire and hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool and orchard!
I stayed here with my Son and Daughter-in-law, my experience was a wonderful one. The cottage is very charming, very clean, and cozy. The owners are wonderful, very accommodating and enjoyed when they hung out with us at the pool. This is a 10 out of 10 top notch place in my opinion, and I will be returning in the future. 🥰❤️
Very quaint cottage home with a beautiful yard and pool. The two bedrooms were very spacious as well as the two full bathrooms. The washer and dryer came in handy too. The kitchen was very well stocked and opened to the living room area. Everything we needed for our stay was available. The owners communicated timely and checked in with us periodically to make sure that our stay was going well. I would stay here again and again.
We had a beautiful college grad party in a clean and well stocked home. Debi went above and beyond to make sure all our guests had enough space and supplies to have a great time. She even improvised a bit with a surprise weather event to make air our party went well. Would love to stay again - highly recommend especially loved the warm outdoor living area and fireplace by the pool.
My husband and I stayed in the lovely cottage and had a reception on the grounds. Deb was in constant communication with me and so very accommodating! Everyone that attended our reception complemented how perfect the property was and wanted to know the details to stay themselves. Not kidding 4 of my guests are olanning on bringing family to stay and enjoy the orchard, fire place and pool. We definitely want to stay again- this time longer!
From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we could tell that this would be a special place to stay. The exterior of the cottage and the grounds are charming, and the inside of the cottage was equally so. We had everything we needed for our stay and we were within easy travel distances to the hikes and bike rides that we were planning to enjoy. We spent some time one evening visiting with our delightful host Debi around her 100 year old fireplace that sits next to the pool area. We all agree that this was one of our best VRBO experiences ever.
We absolutely loved this place. As long as it is available, we wont stay anywhere else. So comfortable and clean. Even though you are minutes from everything, you cant hear a sound. The property is covered in trees and the pool area lit up at night is so inviting. We had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, more space than we needed but picked this place in the event our sister joined us. Debi is awesome, she greeted us out by the pool just to introduce herself. She was quick to reply with texts about where to eat, or how far something was. Truly a gem finding her and this spot.
Perfection!Just the right amount of time away from down town Spokane and soooooo relaxing.The place was immaculate and they have thought of EVERYTHING! It is the closest thing to home without being home!
This location could not be more beautiful. Our host was very communicative, and helpful. It was a perfect place for us. Very close to our family and a nice quiet neighborhood. We hope to stay here again.
We met up with family that lives in Spokane Valley and had an awesome time at the cottage. Debi is an incredible host and went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one.
This property and hosts are the best we have experienced. The property was so well appointed, we wanted for nothing. When we had a question or asked for a recommendation, the host got right back to us. We will return!
We had an amazing stay at the the cottage! Was perfect for a nice relaxing weekend for 2 couples. Debi was very helpful with any questions we had and helping us set up the best poolside environment! Both bedrooms had black out curtains making it even more relaxing for a slow start to our mornings. We will definitely book again next time we need an escape!
This great little cottage is artfully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with all the kitchen and bathroom necessities. We came during winter, and the house was totally cozy. Working remotely was a breeze.
