About this property

Peace, serenity, deer, moose, birds, river sounds, and privacy. Enjoy a private entrance to this daylight basement guest suite.

Access to the guest suite has a portion of the walkway that is grass with a slight slope. In the winter months there may be snow.

House trained well-behaved dogs are welcome too! There is a severe cat allergy, so unfortunately NO CATS are allowed.

A home away from home. The guest suite contains a large bedroom with a king size bed. There is also space for one or two cots. Please let us know if you need them and we will make them available.

The living/dining area has a large Flexsteel sectional, Flexsteel electric recliner, a 75" screen TV with Xfinity Flex streaming and high-speed internet.

The kitchen is unfinished and ugly, but full sized and fully functional, just not finished and unfortunately there is no dishwasher. There is an RO faucet attached to the sink for the best water you will ever taste. Also in the kitchen area, there is a full-size washer and dryer. Plans are in the works to finish the kitchen and second bedroom.

The full size bathroom with tub/shower has been updated.

We are upgrading our land and occasionally there will be a dump truck off-loading dirt and debris during normal business days. He is very quick, but sometimes we do not know when he is coming.

We live on-site upstairs; we work outside of the home and have to be up early those days, we try to walk as lightly as possible, but consider this apartment living, and you will hear occasional footsteps and noises.

Walk the loop, or sit outside on your private patio and listen to the river. Maybe see our resident eagle in flight and laugh at the antics of the squirrels. Watch deer, moose, turkeys and many birds.

Enjoy peace, serenity, and nature. Quiet and calming - we call it our hideaway.

Our cleaning fee is purposely minimal as we do our own cleaning. It is very much appreciated, since there is no dishwasher, that you wash your own dishes and let them dry in the rack. This allows us the time to provide an exceptionally clean space.

So cozy

I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay or a nicer host. Everything was extremely clean and comfy. Loved all the windows and the front doors that let not only plenty of light in but a wonderful breeze. The back lawn was private and quiet. We woke up the first morning to deer in the yard, can't ask for anything better. Our host was absolutely the best and even forgave us for barging in on her when we accidentally used the wrong door....oops, sorry. I will definitely stay there again, we had a lovely visit

About the host

Hosted by Heather and Jon Barnhart

My husband I love to travel ourselves. Our best experiences have been with homes away from home. A place where we are comfortable lounging and relaxing. We are striving to provide that to our guests with our 95% newly remodeled home. We are still a work in progress and have more plans in place for the kitchen and 2nd bedroom. We have two dogs ourselves and 7 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in the Spokane area and have lived here our entire lives. We have lived in the Colbert area for over 15 years, it is peaceful, beautiful, and we have a lot of visits from wild life of all sorts. Deer, moose, turkeys, hummingbirds, all sorts of other birds and squirrels. It is our space for serenity.
