Great for families
My family stayed at this home with our in-laws. The first floor setup was excellent to give them their own space with a bedroom and en suite bathroom and kitchenette/cafe. My children loved the game room and the room of bunk beds. We utilized all of the fun amenities including hot tub, bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, grill, fire pit and outdoor games. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and spices. Beds were comfortable. Each room has its own mini split so you can really customize the temperature no matter which room you’re in. Bring your own beach towels for the lake and hot tub. This was the only thing the house was missing. We had a great trip and would rent this house again in the future. The trains were audible but not bothersome and didn’t wake any of us up.

I took my adult granddaughters and family for a weekend vacation to kayak and play games and have fun. A little problem with the hot tub but hosts responded quickly. the house was so comfortable and lots of wonderful amenities. The train noise bothered one of the family but the rest of us slept right through. We would come back for sure!!!

Great house for families with children
We brought our family here for a family vacation. My husband and I, our 13 year old. And our 5 year old twins as well as our senior dog and our 1 yr old dog. We stayed at the house for 5 nights and it was honestly just an amazing week for the entire family. The creek was low so we did not do anything water related. We just hung out at the house and it was everything we could have asked for. Sandy was quick to respond with any and all questions I had and the information on the property was thorough and made check in a total breeze! The house is meticulously maintained and has everything you’d possibly need (except some Tupperware or ziplock bags for storing left overs. Pack some of those and you’ll not need anything else!)

Great Place
This was a great place to stay, fairly close to town and quick enough up to the ski hill that you don't mind after a day on the slopes. The yard and water would probably be great in the summer and the bunk room would be great if you have a bunch of kids. Everything was nice and well taken care of and the communication was great.

Clean,quiet neighborhood. Game room was a big hit with all the munchkins. The frequent trains (noted in listing) were somewhat of a distraction. Close proximity to Schweitzer and Sandpoint a big plus.

Traveled with family
We loved the property. Just as represented on the listing. Very well stocked kitchen with ample dishes and seating for a large group. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. Fun spot to paddle around. We even saw a moose and baby along the little inlet. The last day we did have some problems with the washer as it was not rinsing well. But all in all a great place. Thanks!

Excellent experience
I stayed at this property with four other siblings and two of their spouses for wedding activities in Sandpoint. The home worked out very well and was well stocked. We were busy enough in town with other family that we did not have near the time we would have liked to enjoy the kayaks and other amenities, but it was great to have that option. We had a couple minor inconveniences that the owner could not have anticipated, and received a refund for those that was not either requested or anticipated. A great place to stay that I would consider again if I had another group in Sandpoint.

Fun Family Reunion
This house, property, & lake access was utilized for our family reunion. The place is quite accommodating to all ages w lots of variety of activities. All had a nice time. The only downside was lack of sleep due to the close proximity to the train. During the day it was no problem, however at night it would blow its horn. Like 6x a night. I’m wondering how there’s no mention in any of the reviews or listing. I feel for the price of rental, foam ear plugs should be provided.

Perfect setup for families
Our whole family enjoyed this house. It was fully stocked and there were a lot of little things that really made this place amazing. The game room was a hit with the kids and they also loved the kayaks. It was nice to have coffee in the kitchen and we liked the book with recommendations for local places to eat and visit. It was very close to town to shop and launch the boat and we were able to leave our boat tied up to the dock during our stay. If we make it back up the Sandpoint we know where we will stay. Thanks so much!
