Welcome to the Magpie House! Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located home. 6 minutes from downtown, 15 minutes from Spokane International Airport, and just a block off the historic Monroe Street "Antique Row". Pets are welcome and guests have free parking and laundry facilities on site. Our house is newly-renovated and layered with whimsical features, artwork, and living spaces. We can't wait for you to enjoy our sunny retreat!
The Magpie is a 3bd-1ba 2- story home. Although she is over 100 years old, this gal has been newly renovated and is living her best life. For the art enthusiast, you will enjoy the local artists featured throughout the home including Julie Calabro, Megan Perkins, and the Magpie. Join us every 2nd Saturday for the "Meet on Monroe" Art Walk where you can view and purchase prints from local artists at multiple venues, eat and drink at various food trucks, and mingle with the neighbors and local business owners.
On the main floor, you will find 2 cozy bedrooms, the main bath, dining room, and chef's kitchen. Plenty of natural light will greet you in the morning so be sure to enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch. For the early risers who prefer their coffee to go, take a 5-minute walk with your pooch to Ladder Coffee one block from the house.
Upstairs you will find the master suite, with plenty of room to stretch out. The master includes an HD TV, reading nook, and window seat. The separate living space upstairs has been converted into a one-of-a-kind game room for kids and adults alike. For the gaming enthusiast, you will enjoy 412 classic arcade games on the gaming/cocktail table. For the truly old-school gamers, you can enjoy mini table shuffleboard and our 7' skeeball arcade game.
Our chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances and copper cookware. Feel free to pick from the garden to add some color to your meal. Magpie's renovated full bath features antique pieces and a special nightlight for kiddos. Laundry access is in the basement and you are welcome to the cleaning supplies throughout your stay.
We are proud to offer 5G internet and free Netflix streaming on both TVs. Outside you will find 3 living spaces where you can sip on a glass of wine and play cornhole, enjoy the sunset on our swinging chairs, or play fetch in the fenced-in dog run. Our quiet neighborhood is dog-friendly and you will find that many of the restaurants and breweries are too. A short walk downtown will land you at Bellweather Brewery where you can fill up a growler or enjoy a pint with your pup. If you are bringing a pet, please include that with the guests that are coming so that the pet fee can be automatically added and we can make sure the pet bed/toys/bowls are out for their stately arrival.
Spokane has so much to offer. Families can enjoy dozens of amazing parks and 17 splash pads in the city. You are only a 10-minute drive to the convention center and you will find downtown to be very walkable. We love the history of the unique homes and buildings, Manito Park featuring Gaiser Conservatory and Duncan Gardens, Bowl and Pitcher Hiking (a 12-minute drive), and Centennial Trail (a 100-mile bike trail that crosses into Idaho). Although we have quite the music lineup, you will also find that the local music artists are fun and talented. We enjoy One-Tree Cider House and Brickwest for great food, brews, and live music. Brickwest also has a large lawn for children to play and dance throughout the week.
We can't wait for you to fall in love with the Magpie and Spokane the way we have. We are so glad you have chosen us for your trip.
We have streamlined your check-in process so it is easy for everyone. Before your stay, you will be messaged a front door code. At 3 pm this code will become active and will be reset at 11 am at your departure. You will have access to the entire house and yard spaces.
Because our home is in a neighborhood with long-time residents, we ask you to be respectful and kind to their space and privacy. For the consideration of other future guests, there is no smoking or vaping allowed anywhere on the property. We are proud to offer the 5-Step Enhanced Cleaning for our guests for free. We have no additional cleaning fees during your stay. Each pet is only $20 for their entire stay.
