You won't find anywhere closer to the water! Our cozy 1924 craftsman, three bedroom one bath, waterfront cabin is positioned on the waters edge with the lake surrounding three sides of the house and water views from every room. It comes with a private dock to watch the sunset or take a plunge in the lake from, two adult kayaks, one youth kayak and two stand up paddle boards for your use, and a shared sandy beach adjacent to the cabin. It is located on Newman Lake, about 15 minutes from I90 and just a short 30-40 minutes from downtown Spokane or Coeur d'alene. Perfect for a romantic getaway for two OR a family vacation! Sleeps up to five very comfortably.
Need quiet time? There is nothing like sitting on the deck that overlooks the lake and listening to the waves crash along the base of the house while being positioned over the water. Like to fish? Try a relaxing evening fishing from the deck while watching an incredible sunset over the water with views of Mount Spokane and both arms of the lake in your view. All bedrooms have a view of the water, let the sound of the waves gently lapping against the house lull you to sleep.
Stay in a piece of history! This cabin hosted Bing Crosby during the summer months when it was McFaddens Resort and even played for the locals from a floating dock directly in front of the cottage.
The house has three equally sized bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom (shower, no bathtub). The "master" has a California king pillow top bed with a small armoire and east facing water views, bedroom #2 has a queen bed and a tallboy dresser and windows facing both north and east extending over the water, bedroom #3 has a double bed and small dresser with north facing views and also extends over the water. The wrap-around deck overlooks the private dock for fishing, watching a sunset, or just watching the kids swim. The house has a small galley kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove/oven, toaster, coffee maker, blender, cooking and baking supplies/spices, pressure-cooker/crock-pot (similar to an instant pot), dishes/cups/silverware (of note, no dishwasher). The patio has seating, extra card tables and chairs, lounge, and gas BBQ and granite table with built in fire pit for your use. Heating is provided by baseboard heaters and a fireplace (firewood will be provided), no AC but fans are provided in the summer months however the house cools down nicely due to the cooling effect of the lake.
The house comes with use of two adult kayaks, one child kayak (150 lb weight limit), 2 stand-up paddle boards and access to the shared sand beach (directly next to the house). The beach has gradual sandy sloping access into the lake and community dock with diving board (seasonal). There are plenty of shared sand toys for the kiddos, as well as toys, board games, DVD movies, a record player with records, and beach or water items available for your use (note no cable TV and limited cell service depending on provider, WiFi is not available).
Good to know before you book: the house water supply pulls directly from the lake, there is a filtration system that is ok to use for showers and washing dishes, however drinking water should be brought in. A bottled water system will be provided and refills upon request for drinking water.
Whether you enjoy boating, water skiing, fishing, catching some rays or swimming there's plenty of activities to fill your days!!!
