The Birdhouse - A charming cottage on the South Hill

This charming cottage home has been affectionately named “The Birdhouse,” and, you guessed it … the theme of the décor throughout is based on our colorful feathered friends!

I have put my heart and soul into making this cottage a lovely place, and I'm so grateful for all the wonderful 5-star reviews.

If you appreciate the tranquility of a quiet neighborhood full of friendly folks and would like a conveniently-located home all to yourself, we’d love to extend our gracious hospitality.

Excellent location for quick access to Manito Park, restaurants and downtown/Gonzaga.
We enjoyed two nights and jam packed days with graduation activities at different venues. Randy was very understanding and accommodating and we loved the birdhouse location and decor. It was very quiet, peaceful and comfortable both inside and out after busy days away. Highly recommend!

I have stayed at literally dozens and dozens (I am 75 yrs old) of VRBOs in USA, Europe, Canada and Mexico. Cleanliness is my priority, then location and ambience, and communication with owner. This property knocked it out of the ballpark! I hope to stay again when rain does not prevent me from enjoying the lovely outdoor accommodations. The house is fantastic!

The Birdhouse
This place is great! It was very cozy, clean, and charming. There was a nice message on the chalk board greeting us, a basket of snacks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and more! Walking distance to Republic Pi and Manito Tap House, Thomas Hammer coffee, Starbucks, and more. Nice porch, yard, and sitting area along the side of the house too. Highly recommended.

Be Careful
We actually only stayed at the house for one hour. ( and dirtied 3 glasses) We were trying to decided what to do………..and chose to find a hotel. The second bathroom is located in a basement area and the stairs down to it are not safe. As we were 3 people and only rent where we have two bathrooms, the stairs were certainly a problem. Especially considering the necessity of bathroom use in during the night. The house is charming but…….. beware. Randy, the owner I think, was pleasant to talk to but we just went ahead and left for safer quarters and paid for four nights! Disappointing!

Some issues
There were several nails sticking up from the wood floors that we had to avoid stepping on. It did not puncture but it hurt if you accidentally stepped on one. The floors were so squeaky that it would wake people if you had to use the bathroom in the night. I had to get down on the floor to look for my hair tie that fell and I noticed that the underneath of the bed and dresser had a great deal of dust and dirt that obviously had not been cleaned in a long time. There is a dollar bill stuck between the dresser and the wall. When I went downstairs to use the washer and dryer I noticed that parts of the washing machine were grossly dirty and the laundry area had dead bugs on the floor. The living room couch had a large lump or two in the middle cushion making it uncomfortable to sit on. My husband and I had to sleep in separate beds because one side of each bed was inaccessible without climbing over the bed to get in the bed. The light above the kitchen sink never came on fully.

Cute but disappointing
The VRBO website shows a very cute comfortable house to rent, the description written sounded like this would be a great place to stay for a few days while in Spokane. However, the pictures and description on the website does not accurately represent the rooms or the basement. The basement was the biggest disappointment. The stairs to the basement are narrow with an angle and steep, they were difficult to navigate and had low ceilings. The area had an unusual odor, multiple spiders and other bugs, the bed was very uncomfortable. It was difficult to relax and sleep in the basement and the bathroom was also difficult to use. The refrigerator in the kitchen was not very clean. An open beer can in the door, which did not belong to us, the refrigerator had not been wiped out. The surrounding area was nice and easy to get around.

There was an extraordinary amount of care put into this cute little home. Randy and Amanda are wonderful hosts. Great communication from the onset. The decor was fun and the bird theme was so engaging. We were close to all of our destinations for our daughter’s college graduation. What a lovely week end in Spokane.

Great Cottage in a Quiet Neighborhood
The property was as advertised. It's an older house with lots of charm. Don't expect really fancy, but it has everything we needed. Our dog loved exploring the beautiful yard. We had my sis and her husband over for dinner on the patio. It is a wonderful setting. The house is nearby lots of shopping and restaurants. The only drawback was at 6' I didn't dare go downstairs. My wife made it, though. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. We highly recommend this property!!!!

Cute, cozy and convenient
This house is very clean and nicely appointed. Numerous small details from a snack basket to a heated toilet seat make guests feel welcome and appreciated. Randy was wonderful to work with. We requested a pack and play, and not only was it made available, it was set up in the bedroom when we arrived. We hope to stay again when the weather is warm enough to enjoy the porch and patio.
