Riverstone Cottage, Bright and Airy Forest Retreat

This quiet and secluded stone cottage is set in 3 acres bordering the Prescott National Forest. It is the perfect place to explore both Prescott and the local hiking/Bike and OHV trails. Goldwater Lake is just 2 miles away and is a gorgeous spot for hiking, fishing, kayaking and picnicking. Downtown Prescott is only stunningly beautiful 10 minute drive. *new air conditioning installed August 2025 for those extra hot days we’ve been having* The space Riverstone Cottage is a 500sqft studio, that is light and airy, with beautiful high pine ceilings and wooden floors. The kitchen is equipped with a small fridge with a little freezer box to make ice cubes, a microwave, a 2 ring induction hob, a kettle and a Keurig Coffee maker and milk frother along with a Breville smart convection oven that roasts, broils, toasts and fits a 13 inch pizza. There is a fire extinguisher and first aid kit under the kitchen sink. The living area is open with plenty of windows and natural light. A comfy couch with footstools is the perfect spot to relax after a long hike, or a day enjoying Prescott. Pop your feet up, snuggle in front of the fire and you might even catch a beautiful sunset right from the couch. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, and you will find a hairdryer in the cabinet under the sink. If you find you have forgotten something, please just ask and we'll be happy to help. We are on a septic tank, so please follow the guidelines in the folder, there are some gentle reminders for you too. There is step-free access to the cottage from the driveway to the side of the patio, if you prefer not to use the steps at the front of the cottage. Please note, the open plan nature of the kitchen and grounds, with an unprotected creek and road, means this listing is not suitable for infants or children, and is in our house rules. Guest access The cottage has it's own private patio, with chairs and a table, which is perfect for outdoor dining, or cocktail hour. The area just across the driveway from the cottage, on the top of the hill, is available for you use, it's a lovely spot to watch the sunset through the tall pines. Our property and neighboring properties aren't fenced, so please don't explore on your own to respect everyone's privacy. If you need us, please just send a message, or call. Other things to note There is limited cellphone reception once you leave Prescott, so please take screenshots of the directions to enable you to find us. There is good AT&T service on our property, but all others are very spotty. We recommend using WIFI calling while you are here. The road to our property is paved, and is usually plowed quickly when it snows. Our driveway is gravel and has some steep areas, and so a 4WD vehicle is needed during snow, which can happen between November and March. If you are booking a last minute during snow season, and there's no snow, then you don't need a 4WD. If you are booking a long way out, please make sure you have one if your visit in in snow season mentioned above. Feel free to message me about this too. There is one parking space for you, if you are coming in two cars, please contact us, and we can guide you as to where to leave your second car. There is not room for a trailer to park or to turn around. If you are traveling with a trailer it will need to be left parked out on the road before you come down our driveway. Please contact us for more details.
