A hidden spot in Moscow!

We came to visit our daughter at WSU and needed a place that was close, but not right in town. Came across this carriage house, and it was a great bet! Nice neighborhood and nice people all around, Robyn and Craig especially.The space is quaint and really well done. We enjoyed learning about the history of the property in the book which lines up with the character of the property. Hope to stay again in the future.

Visiting Family

Convenient location. Close to family and downtown. A bit drafty in the winter. Limited food prep area - micro, hot water pot, mini frig. Carpet and paint needs repair and updating.

Such a gorgeous space - the neighborhood and downtown Moscow did not disappoint. Such good food and great vibes! The carriage house was just what we needed. Only minor issue was there wasn't a lot of coffee to use, mostly decaf and tea.

Enjoyed the gracious hospitality of this Host Family for the Third Time

I have now added Fall to my previous Spring and Winter stays at the Carriage House in Moscow. Easily among the top 10% of unique VRBO offerings in North America.

Very small hideaway

The Carriage House is a one room accomodation, not a one bedroom. Very cute, but extrememly tight space, even for just two people. The bed took up most of the space, so one person would have to move to let another get into the bathroom. The kitchenette area requires you to get water from the bathroom, but had coffee, tea and a fridge and a little table. The room is tucked behind the house, down a driveway/path. There was some neighborhood noise, but mostyly quiet at night. There are two chairs to sit on, but not really extra space to relax, unless you are laying on the bed. The curtains mostly close, but not completely. Too small for us, but the historic feel could be just right for some.

Just what I needed

I really enjoyed my stay. I travel for work and just need a place to sleep and privacy. I eat meals out so no need for a full kitchen, There is a small fridge, Micro and Coffee for snacks. Its a great location and the communication was outstanding. I would definitely stay again.

Wonderful

I seldom write reviews, but I had to take a moment to say what an excellent experience this was. This rental is a cozy little gem! There is a refrigerator and microwave, with a small selection of plates, glasses and utensils. But you are only a few blocks from Main Street if you want to walk down for meals. The bed is super comfortable, so beware of oversleeping! Best of all was the great communication and support from the hosts. They really make you feel at home.

Carriage House: I can’t quit you!

This was my second stay in what has to be the best accommodation spot on the Palouse. Skip the sterile and boring hotel room and do yourself a favor when traveling to Moscow, BOOK the Carriage House!

Autumn 2023

The Carriage House is a gem in this Gem State town. Nestled in a large backyard with chickens and mature trees, this cottage provided tranquility and a convenient base to work and tend to family business. Robyn and Craig have intentionally curated an experience not quite like other VRBO offerings.

Quaint spot in Moscow

A nice, cozy and quant space. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown Moscow (3/4 mile). Comfy bed and small high-top table and chairs for snacking. Would stay there again if I was ever back in Moscow

Perfect stay in Moscow

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the carriage cottage! Super clean and homey. Really appreciated the coffee/tea with real cream in the morning. The bed was super comfy and the shower was warm with great water pressure. Also loved the location being so close to downtown. We actually walked home one evening. It was our best experience in Moscow yet! Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Miller

Host profile image
We have lived in Moscow, Idaho for nearly 20 years but recently moved into our dream house on Howard St. Craig is a Biology Professor at the University of Idaho and I work for The Nature Conservancy. We are a very busy family with 3 active young children so you probably won't see too much of us. We are available by phone if anything arises that needs immediate attention. We will respect your space and do our best to provide you a restful stay. However, our children love to play in the yard on the weekends and early evenings. We also have laying hens, a young dog, and loving cat on the property.
