WELCOME to an escape.

Ignore the VRBO autoquote, I will edit quotes by group specifics

This home is on the Pend Oreille river, 20 minutes from the crowds of town. It is on a beautiful 5 plus acres, with 229 feet of beach frontage. The pictures do not do it justice. The 5000 sq ft home is spacious and comfortable. The front lawn is gigantic and there is room for games, lounging, serenity and going out to the boat or water to enjoy. In Summer, sun rises in the 4 am hour and sets around 930 pm. They days are long, and hiking, dining, swimming, shopping, Silverwood, Schweitzer Mountain, Coeur D Alene are all pretty close by.

I try to be flexible on booking rates, depending on the dates, and group size. VRBO has an autoquote system that is horrendous for miscalculations for big homes, so just "contact the host" when asking for a quote, and I will get you the correct rate.


Newer photo's and video coming soon.
THIS HOME REQUIRES 120 DAY OR MORE CANCEL NOTICE FOR ANY SUMMER DATES, THIS OVERRIDES THE DEFAULT HOMEAWAY 60 DAY POLICY. 91-120 DAY CANCEL NOTICE LOSES HALF OF PAYMENT. 90 DAY OR LESS LOSES ALL OF PAYMENT.
We Will Try To Accommodate Your Dates And Partial Weeks If It Works Out.

The sand is on the beach. There is room to pitch tents or horseshoes, and a firepit when season permits

Family reunions and getaways: This home is well built, clean, and comfortable. Come in winter or summer to this big, 5,100 square-foot home. Don't let the rates scare you; it's a deal when divided among a group desiring to enjoy private, luxury, river acreage.
Situated in a park like setting with a flat lawn to the water, this home is perfect for family vacations, and family reunions. Group sizes may affect rates. We welcome small groups, as well.
The 220 feet of waterfront and sandy beaches are great for kids. The beach opens into the great Pend Oreille River. There is boat beaching right on the property. The waterfront has some shallow parts that the kids have a blast kayaking around in. We provide a couple of free kayaks with rental. The home's private vast water area shelters the waves and boats on the main part of the river, but it does not block your grand view of everything.
Enjoy the river views and play volleyball, barbecue or sunbathe.

Take a walk or jog up and back on the six acres of private road -- amidst pine trees, lawn, and pastures. Pick a fresh apple or cherry in season during your walk. Take a photo of that pesky raccoon that visits. Moose, deer, and bear have been known to mosey through the neighborhood.

Picnic tables, a deck, a canopy for those hot days by the water, barbecues, dishes, and utensils are all here!
If you like camping without the interference of a close camper, bring a few tents. While mom and dad sleep in the cozy master bedroom overlooking the tents and river, kids can enjoy outdoor sleeping.
There is a large hot tub on the deck, sometimes available; so you can watch your friends water-ski from one angle, and look into the house to see who's winning a game of pool from the other angle.
On the main floor, of the 2 floors, there is a large kitchen which has a casual dining area. This adjoins the connected dining and living room.

Here we have a pool table, TV, huge sofa that is beyond large and comfortable, a fireplace, a more formal dining table, and a sofa and love seat. On the main floor as well, we have a bathroom, laundry room and newly added bedroom.
Our upstairs features mostly sleeping areas. The Master hails a King bed, and the adjoining 440 Sq. ft. of master has a sitting room, fireplace and bathroom. Next we have a large bedroom with 2 Queen beds. A normal sized bedroom offers a Queen bed. The kiddie Room, which adults can use as well, has 6 twin beds and a queen, and even room to play games. It should be a favorite. The next bedroom has a queen bed, and a king.
Downstairs, we decided to add another bedroom, to make a total of 6. This room will has a queen bed, and is great for those who don't want to climb the stairs. The home is just 18 miles from the heart of Sandpoint, and 6 miles from the town of Priest River and is worth the easy drive.
This is a great home, there are no granite countertops, but most people enjoy the views, waterfront, snow and home just as it is. This is North Idaho, a comfortable home for down to earth folks. I rarely have complaints and this home has been rented out to repeat groups and families since 2003, this is why it books so fast.
