A wonderful place to stay that is so close to downtown and the IU campus!
We had a great experience staying at the Fort Russell Carriage House. Our hosts were wonderful and the place was extremely charming with so much character. We look forward to staying here again!
Comfy bed, clean everything, coffee, tea, mini fridge, microwave. Fun history of Moscow book0. Hosts were friendly and unobtrusive, checkin and checkout were a snap.
This was the perfect place for my husband & I to stay. Quiet, clean & comfortable. There was a little heatwave during our visit so being able to tuck in with a/c was great. Robyn is generous and kind in her communication.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Fort Russell Carriage House. We were in town for a family reunion and the Carriage House proved to be the perfect “base camp”. It was cozy and quiet, and just a really relaxing place to be. Highly recommend.

Perfect for wife and I. Came into town for parents weekend at the University and this place was perfect. Close to downtown. Clean and quiet
Will definitely stay here again
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.
Perfect place to stay if you just need a place to crash and shower as you come and go throughout Moscow/Pullman. Clean and comfortable. Hosts were friendly and communicative.
Great place. Perfect location. Very quiet!!! Loved it.

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.

The Carriage House is a quiet, cozy, and comfortable stay for one or two. The accommodations are simple and basic - just right for our little getaway. The hosts communicated clearly and had everything ready for our arrival. If you need to steal away for a weekend or a few days of R&R, this is a great choice.
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.
We had a phenomenal time staying at the Carriage House over WSUs move in weekend for our daughter. A great selection of reading books, a very fun and energetic Australian Shepherd and some awesome old trees in the yard. We will be staying here again in the future.
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!
The hosts are so helpful and responsive but not intrusive. The carriage house is cozy and walkable to downtown without having to be in busy hotels. My daughter requests we stay here when we come to Moscow.
