Storybook Cottage Hideaway 10 Acres + Riverfront

Welcome to your unplugged nature retreat.

This historic home sits on 10 private acres of meadow, forest, and Little Spokane River frontage — just 20 minutes from downtown Spokane.

Let the kids roam, watch for deer and wild turkeys from the sun room, and end the night cozied up by the fire with a movie.

This is the kind of place family memories are made of: mornings with coffee in the sun room, afternoons exploring the meadow and riverbank, evenings around the fire while the occasional moose wanders by the tree line.

The space

You'll fall in love with the old-house charm — it's character you simply can't build anymore — and updated everything so you don't have to rough it: new HVAC, new appliances, and high-end filtered water. Cozy & comfortable during every season.

KITCHEN, DINING & LIVING

A fully equipped kitchen with new appliances and filtered water, flowing into a warm dining / living space anchored by the fireplace. The sun room & patio overlook the meadow toward the river — coffee here at sunrise is the reason guests come back.

THE OUTDOORS

Ten acres of meadow and forest lead down to the Little Spokane River, visible from the home. Launch a kayak or paddle board from the property, cast a line, or just let the kids explore. Gather at the riverside fire-pit for s'mores (seasonal use — fire-pit is unavailable when burn bans are in place), or fire up the BBQ and Big Green Egg.

A note on the river: Wading and swimming is possible, but please supervise children closely and use good judgment — this is wild water, not a swimming pool. Plant growth is also a factor to consider, again this isn't a swimming pool.

Other things to note
