Great vacation
Second time staying here- great location close to town, on a quiet bay. tons of room for everyone to spread out. I had hoped more TLC would've gone into the home since we were last there. They did put in a new dishwasher and microwave, and the screens are new which was great. The dock is downright unsafe- very rickety/shaky with deck screws poking up from the wood everywhere and rotten wood- definitely need to wear shoes on the dock! The ladder from the water to the dock is bordering on falling off. The property has so much potential given its size and location but at that price, there are other properties on the lake that are in much better condition and don't have the safety issues.

Nice, well appointed cabin that was convenient to Sandpoint and Schweitzer
This was a great property for our family trip to Schweitzer. It was spacious enough, so we never felt cramped and really liked the openness of the floor plan. It had spectacular views of the lake with the mountain backdrop and absolutely loved the wood burning fireplace! Previous reviews were correct about the limited WiFi, but we turned that into a positive by spending more time with the family. The only negative was the hot tub needed a thorough cleaning and was unable to use it or I would have given it 5 stars. We would definitely come back again!

Quiet and just far enough away.
Nice place, beautiful sunrises off the lake. Hot tub was great to have. Wish we had hot water in the home for our showers though. When we mentioned no hot water I received a text that said you can leave and we won’t charge for the unused nights. How about another offer like “we’ve refunded a portion due to no hot water in the home” Besides that it would have been perfect.

We enjoyed our stay the home was nice and well furnished. The things that could be better is the pots and pans. They’re were terrible and half the lights didn’t work. Lots of switches that didn’t do anything. Could use an electrician to go through tue house and make sure all the lights worked. It’s a dark house so that’d help.

The outside area like deck and front porch needs to be cleaned.
The yellow jackets/hornets are swarming all around the back porch and dangerously over the hot tub - making it uncomfortable to impossible to use any of those areas. One nearly stung my grandson and I had to rush to rescue him. We would not have rented this had we known about this issue !!

Disappointed
The location is good. However, for the cost of this home it was surprisingly in poor condition and extremely dirty and dusty. Layers of dust and burned out light bulbs. Leaky bathrooms and sewer odor. The furnishings are severly used,,,,broken toaster, scratched barely useable pots & pans, numberous burned out light bulbs, and stained very old pillows and bedding. The grounds are neglected with weeds and garbage in planters. The lawn and firepit were nice. The BBQ grill appears to be on its last leg as well as the ripped screen door that didn't keep bugs out. It is a bit shocking to spend over $3700 for six nights and pay high cleaning fees for a place where the windows are so dirty that it obscured the view of the lake and so dusty that it affected the health of several family members. Some TLC is needed for this vacation rental. We have rented several places through Vacassa and this is the first time we were quite disappointed.

The property was beautiful inside and out, and on the waters. Everyone enjoyed the stay very much, enough room for all of us. The kitchen was awesome with lots of pots and pan to cook. The only thing was, the deck and the patio furniture could have been cleaner.

Great location, poor upkeep
Based on the cost of this rental per night, I had great expectations. Overall, if you plan to stay here, lower your expectations. The inside of the home was clean and had plenty of space so our family did not feel crowded. The hot tub was clean (had an odor to it but unsure if that is their chosen chlorination but was not visibly dirty) and maintained the perfect temperature and during the day had a fantastic view of the lake. The location of the home was secluded but close enough of a drive into the heart of town to enjoy the best of both worlds. We had quite a few minor/major issues during our stay that made it overall disappointing. The major issue was that the outdoor lights did not work. Upon contacting Vacasa, they informed us that the outdoor lights had not been working for a few weeks and the contractor was busy, so they would not be fixed during our stay. With the sun setting by 630pm, this limited our time to use the hot tub without flashlights or we sat there in complete darkness. Just unacceptable that this was not communicated to us. Another negative was the fact that their DISH satellite was not in working order, providing an error code and making the tv worthless. For a rainy day indoors, it would have been nice to be able to watch the baseball games. Internet is spotty as other reviewers have mentioned, which wasn't a big deal for us but inconvenient with the tv being down as well. Maintenance of the property overall was significantly lacking. A counter in the kitchen is held up by two mugs and falling off the wall. Lightbulbs were either burnt out or continued with the "lighting having issues" problem. The instructions are now framed in the kitchen but very basic and it would be nice to have a manual with some tips/tricks for their property. For example, the heat did not keep up in the common living space but after searching the home, we found a space heater that made it more comfortable - would have been nice to know where they were located. We chose not to build a fire with the indoor fireplace as soot has accumulated above the mantle and based on the upkeep of the home in general, we did not trust the fireplace to have been properly maintained. Overall, the property is an amazing build with charm - but for a rental property, it is showing signs of neglect. Months ago, reviews mentioned the microwave display not working - it still does not work. The toaster handle is broken, requiring you to unplug it and dig your toast out with a utensil. The cookware is greatly worn by the gas range. The shower head that is attached to the bathtub leaks making it unusable. One of the bedside tables is in pieces with nails missing and greatly unstable. The dishwasher is not stabilized (that's putting it nicely). To conclude, pictures will show you that this property looks nice and has charm/unique features, but is significantly lacking. With an ounce of updating, actual CARE and proper maintenance, this property would be 5 stars.

Wonderful stay
Our family had a fantastic week at this home. The cabin was the perfect size for six adults and two children. The kids loved their room - the bunk beds were a big hit! The bedrooms and the living spaces were huge so we never felt on top of each other. The private dock and the backyard were terrific. We had a jetski rental and a boat rental for the week so direct access to the lake was convenient. The one drawback of this home: the WiFi was bad. I know we were warned about the internet speed beforehand, but I could barely get my emails to load let alone log onto video meetings. This forced me and another member of my party to drive into town for a few hours during the week to complete some work we had to attend to. (Evans Brothers Coffee was a great hangout for this!) I strongly recommend to the owners that they upgrade their internet package or look into some sort of signal booster to improve connectivity.

Disappointing
Nice log cabin, clean beds/bathrooms, great view, but so many things in disrepair for the price point, it was a disappointment. Most of the kitchen utisels were broken or rusted (like the inside of the tea kettles). Landscaping was neglected, overrun with weeds. Pier seemed safe but had screws popping up in the center and the wood was uneven and rough (no bare feet or you'll regret it). Jacuzzi top had a broken cover hatch and the filter area was black in areas and rusted. Light bulbs burnt out, microwave screen didn't work (you had to guess the time it was cooking), most of the screen door to the back yard was ripped out in the bottom and wouldn't stay on the track. Lots of maintenance and repair issues that detracted from the experience.

Very serviceable.
This was a great place for our group of 8 to stay while on a ski trip to Schweitzer Mountain. The property overall seemed like it has been a little neglected on the maintenance end of things. Some lights didn't work, heating needed to be supplimented with space heaters, etc. However, everything worked that we needed, and the hot tub was toasty warm all week. We did all of our own cooking, and the kitchen was well supplied for that, including lots of spices. The dishwasher did NOT get dishes clean, we gave up trying to use it and just washed everything by hand. We found lots of dirty dishes in the cupboards that may have been put there by past guests, but over all, the rest of the house was very clean. There was plenty of lounging furniture for all of us, and the wood fireplace had a gas assist, which was so nice for getting a fire started quickly. Really my only complaint was communication with the property manager, which was nonexistent. The only option was email to which they did not respond to for over a week after it was too late, and then didn't know the answer to my questions on how the kitchen was stocked . But I would book again.

Beautiful lake log home with a great view
The overall experience is excellent and our family enjoyed 6 nights there!! House is gorgeous and kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipments etc. The view of f the snow mountain is incredible. I do wish the owner fixed some maintenance issues: The dishwasher is not attached to the counter and back wheels are missing. It is very hard to load the dishes. One other maintenance issue is the bathroom floor by the shower in the first floor. The floor is severely damaged over a period of time, the subflooring should be replaced!!! But overall , it is an amazing house!!! Thank you

Great Family Summer Lake House
Great house. Really big rooms with lots of extra beds and space for kids. Grassy area is great for games and kids running around, the beach is very small, and dock not ideal to swim off of because it sits so high out of the water. But the boat lift was great. We will stay again.

Great Location
This cabin is located in a perfect spot. The lake is right outside and access is extremely easy! We were able to bring out boat and use the boat lift. The log cabin is beautiful. Plenty of room and the living area was wonderful for our whole family to gather in. There is some deferred maintenance that would be nice to be improved upon (porch cleaning, overall cleanliness, and upkeep). Also, one thing we did not take into consideration or realize was that there is no AC. The fans were helpful, but because of the terrible smokey air, we couldn’t open up windows as much as we needed and had to leave early. Smoke is obviously not the fault of the cabin, but AC would have saved us. Just something to be aware of in the middle of summer!

Why try?
Our group had some running jokes about the property. One was the lack of bath soap. Then, toilet paper ran out. Considering how much this rental costs, you would expect some basics like a book to explain how everything works (TV, boat lift, lights that don't turn on, missing light bulbs, etc.). Instead, it was a single page tacked to the wall telling us what not to do!!! Plus some sticky notes on a couple of pieces of furniture warning not to sit on the arms. The decorations were another source of humor, a mish mash of cowboy references (in Idaho?), personal items and collectibles (Bonanza TV show, a dime store Indian!, stuffed animals). There was a lot of mold in the shower downstairs, as if someone isn't even trying to clean the place. Overall, a great property if the details were taken care of. But they aren't.
