Beautiful Room for Rent In Co-Living Home

Haystack House Application to Rent 1 room available

Come live at the convenient and fun Haystack House in the Perry District, just two blocks from the Grain Shed to the east and Wisconsin Burger to the west. We are also 1/2 block from a frequent bus route.

I am the current tenant and am relocating to the east coast. The room will be available for move in March 15 to April 1st. My 4 wonderful housemates will be involved in the selection process.

The Vibe: We are four women, one cat, and a doggie looking for one new housemate who wants to live in an intentional community home (no more pets, please). Someone who has some previous experience with co-living in a shared house with shared chores is preferred, but not necessary. We are respectful, fun-loving, and caring housemates who schedule community meals as often as possible and truly enjoy each other's company. If you enjoy gardening and cooking, this is the place for you!

The House: Built in 1895 by immigrant and architect Frank Swenson, the Haystack House is built with plenty of Swedish Romantic Revival charm. A rock turret built onto the back of the cottage in the 1920s gives this estate a castle-like feel. Generous downstairs furnished common spaces include a full kitchen with commercial quality appliances, and an elegant living/dining room with hardwood floors throughout. The common great room centers around an antique Batchelder gas fireplace and a wall-to-wall custom built-in maple bookshelf. Other amenities include a new quality sauna in the basement, indoor bike storage, limited shared onsite storage, central air, and free washer/dryer laundry machines.

Upstairs Room for Rent: This upstairs dormer room has a small walk-in closet with a large bank of arched windows that open and have adjustable blinds and look out onto our front yard. This room has great light morning, noon and night! The floor is bamboo wood in great condition. Charming built-ins, antique lighting and doors add character to this airy space.

A custom-tiled master bathroom with a claw-foot tub, separate standing shower, and views of Mt Spokane is shared with two housemates on the same floor, with additional bathroom facilities downstairs. Rent is $630 plus share of utilities.

Room requires a 12 month lease (our hope is folks will stay longer and they usually do) as well as first and last month room rent and a $350 deposit.

Applicants must be available for an IN-PERSON interview at the house during the last two weeks of February. We are aiming to make our final decision by March 1 so our landlord has time to run background, credit, and rental history checks before a move in date as early as March 15 2026.
