The perfect host. The perfect house.

The house is very clean, and very well maintained. It has plenty of room in every room of the house. Loved the living room! Our host (Vee), was amazing. She had snacks and drinks when we checked in, she put a flower in the bedroom for my wife, a very nice touch. The neighborhood is quiet, will definitely stay here again.

Lovely Riverside Getaway

The cottage was adorable, clean and very comfortable. The location is great, close to downtown Riverside but in very quiet neighborhood. Its is just blocks away from Mount Rubidoux Park where we took a wonderful hike up to the Peace Tower. Definitely a great space to spead time with family or friends.

Unique Treasure on Tree-lined Street

What a treasure this comfy little home with great location, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood that feels safe. Vee is thoughtful of details and amenities that make for a congenial stay and cheers a weary traveler. It is helpful for the check-in process to understand as many details as possible, hours before arriving. We needed to leave a bit earlier than expected, and Vee was exceptionally helpful through some unforeseen circumstances that arose in the leaving process. (Sadly in our city, homes near ours actually burned down in the 4th of July festivities). Hopefully next time we won't leave in a hurry and can stay longer and drink in the serenity:) If you want a quiet, clean, congenial place to stay, this is it:)

Summer Stay

This was a great property to stay at! I really liked the overall communication and the comfort that I got from talking with the owner. All the information she gave was accurate. The pricing with the discount was very reasonable. The vrbo came with everything you would need and more. Very clean! I felt safe which is huge and the location was in a great spot with easy accessibility to grocery stores, dining, laundry, and more.I would highly recommend! :)

Comfy & quiet

Neighborhood is quiet & was easy to locate. The home is perfect size for 1-2 ppl. I stay here often when traveling to this area for work. Host is friendly & has accommodated various arrival and departure times for me which is why I return. About the space: Kitchen is equipped with full size kitchen appliances. Very nice for a smaller home. Small table for 2 is perfect in the space. Bed & pillows are comfortable. There are soft & firm pillows so you can sleep with what you prefer which is an extra nice touch in my opinion. Bathroom has full sized tub & shower combo. Lots of mirrors. Very spacious & could accommodate 2 ppl easily getting ready at the same time. Living room has comfy couch & nice corner desk. Easily held my laptop & additional monitor. Plus my notebook which made working very easy.

Great Stay with a Great Host!

Highly recommend this cute cottage in downtown Riverside, safe location and close to everything. Check in/out super easy with separate private entrance. The home has a large living room for relaxing, a large kitchen with large refrigerator, micro, stove/oven, coffee pot & table/chairs, large bedroom with dresser and closet and a large bathroom, all fully furnished with linens and towels. Stayed there nearly one month and it was a great stay. Thanks to the host!

What makes this property unique

Nice area, many trees, much history and interesting architecture surround the property.
Property is walking distance to Downtown, Mt. Rubidoux walking trail and much of what Downtown has to offer. The bike path goes all the way to the beach.
Security cameras are around the perimeter of the property.
Overall a quiet neighborhood with some "wildlife" (squirrels, possums, cats, birds, rarely racoons, and skunks). In the warmer months other "wildlife" may include mosquitoes and flies.
