Summary:
Step into comfort, style, and pure group-trip perfection—just minutes from downtown Spokane. With bold design, open living spaces, a fully stocked kitchen, and a backyard built for evening hangs, this home is ready for reunions, retreats, and unforgettable nights in. Every detail is curated, every space feels like a vibe.
This isn’t just a stay—it’s a whole dang mood.
The Space:
5-minutes from downtown and 5-minutes from Northtown mall. This home is in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance of a grocery store, and setup with guests' comfort and experience in mind. We are pet-friendly (pet fee must be paid prior to check in.) There is one bedroom and one bathroom on the main floor, two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs, and two bedrooms and one bathroom/laundry room downstairs.
We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soaps, dishes, pans, cooking utensils, basic cooking (avocado oil, some spices), local coffee from Roast House in Spokane, coffee pot, blender, dining table for 8 plus additional 4 barstools at the counter. The Roku TV in the living room is available and connected to WiFi, so guests can login to their own streaming accounts.
Plenty of dining and shopping are nearby but also available to this neighborhood are UberEats, DoorDash, InstaCart for delivery, or Uber and Lyft to pick you up and take you anywhere.
We do have a recording devices on the outside of the home for safety and security. Camera(s) do record video and sound, but we respect guest privacy so we only look at the cameras if an issue arises during or after your stay. The front camera is an overhead camera at the front door and faces the street. The rear camera is overhead at the back door and faces the garage. No cameras are mounted in, nor do they face/record any private, guest-only areas.
Pets are allowed but are not allowed on any furniture. We do charge a $20 non-refundable pet fee per night for first pet. Additional pets are $15 per night. Pet fees are nonrefundable and will be requested through the resolution center after the reservation is confirmed and prior to your stay. Pet fees must be paid prior to check in or your door code will not function at the time of check in.
We do require guests to e-sign a vacation rental agreement for stays of any length prior to check in. We request guests fill out a check-in form so that we can best prepare for your stay.
Non-Airbnb Guests: Guests give permission to the property manager to use a third-party to request to screen identity and check criminal databases to confirm reservation.

Other Things to Note:
While most reservations go through without a hitch, we understand that sometimes things happen. We want to offer our guests the best and most price-effective option for those incidents that we hope do not occur. We found that damage deposits can be costly, frustrating and we don't want to hold any of your hard-earned money 'just in case'.
For Airbnb reservations: We do not charge a damage deposit on site because Airbnb offers AirCover.
For non-Airbnb reservations: We charge a nightly fee for damage insurance in lieu of charging a damage deposit. This fee is nonrefundable and should be added to your reservation at checkout. If it is not, we will contact you to process payment for this charge. This fee pays for protection through a third-party company and covers property damage that may occur during your stay.
After booking confirmation, you have the option to purchase third-party travel insurance for up to 14 days prior to your stay. Please reach out via message if you're interested in travel insurance.
Airbnb does their own guest screening and we do ours.
For non-Airbnb reservations, we use a quick and simple third party guest screening service. Please watch for this email and complete the appropriate steps. Message/call us if you encounter any problems or have questions about this service. We require non-Airbnb guests to submit documents to verify identity and perform background screening, which occurs through a third-party company to Safely. Cancellation policy applies to reservations that are cancelled due to guests not reading this requirement in the listing and not wanting to perform the background screening.
If you request check in less than 48 hours in advance, we will ask for a photo of your Identification matching the method of payment used, and meet you on site for check in to verify your reservation is for the booked guest. (Subject to change. Please message us with questions.)
Interaction with Guests:
Property manager, Miranda, is available by call or text during your stay.
