We were looking for an affordable place to stay while vacationing to Silverwood and this place hit the mark! Fit our family of 5 perfectly. Lots of room and loved seeing the sail boats. Beds were comfy and the place was clean. Will definitely be back

It’s like staying at your favorite uncles boat house. Comfortable beds, two bathrooms and a lovely upstairs deck over looking the bay. Mitch has everything you need if you want to cook in.

The location was great with easy access to Coeur D’Alene and Sandpoint. The home itself was not fancy but suited our needs well.

This home was great. Yes, it's a bit outdated, but the location makes up for it. This property is a must-see if you're a boater or a lake lover. The price was great as well, considering neighboring properties, some even on the same doc, are listed at 3X the price as this property. Thanks for having us. We will be back!

So fun to stay in a boathouse! Surrounded by water, wake up and walk outside to see the marina around you and the mountains in the back, so cool. I really enjoyed waking up in the morning and sitting on the back deck with some breakfast. If you've been on a boat, you know how they rock around. If your thinking this boat rocks, it does not, it is anchored down and is not going anywhere. This boathouse in particular is quite dated, lots of little things that could be repaired, such as the hallway floor which is seeping down. But besides these little things that could be fixed, the house was very clean, no previous pets, and it was really fun to stay in.

The home was very clean. We stayed in July for a trip to Silverwood. It was close to the amusement park and they have a nice covered patio to play games in the evening. The second night we were there the house key broke off in the lock, not a great thing to have happen after a long, hot day at the park. We were able to call and they gave us the code for the second key box. The hous

Float home was spacious for our family to spread out. Everything's was as listed. Suggestions: update the standard check-in email with relevant information. The "10-digit code" doesn't exist. The wifi information is inaccurate. The downstairs TV wasn't functional and would randomly turn off after about 30 seconds. Turn the lights off in the locked rooms. The light emanating from them gives off creepy vibes like someone is in there.

We had a great stay at the float house! While the interior is a bit dated, it didn’t affect our experience. The upstairs back covered deck was a favorite spot for us to relax. We enjoyed walking to The Dock for dinner, which had delicious food and live outdoor music. For breakfast, we walked to Ralph's coffee shop, which was also a pleasant experience. We boated to Bayview and had to arrange moorage on our own, which cost an extra $75 per night. It would be more convenient if the spot in front of the house could be reserved at time of booking and the fee included in the rental price. The walk from the float house to the marina office was quite long. The kitchen was well stocked, and the bathrooms provided nice towels and toiletries. However, we felt the 10 a.m. checkout time was a bit early, especially since we were leaving by boat. A checkout time of 11 a.m. would have been more reasonable. While we received an email offering a paid late checkout option, we had already spent $150 on boat parking, so we opted not to.

Fun experience to stay on the lake. The master bedroom is very isolated from the downstairs. I did not feel comfortable leaving young kids downstairs but other than that it was a fun lake experience

It might have been the time of year, May, as it was quiet and peaceful. Lots of room in the home and a loft/ deck that you can see out across the lake. The upstairs bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and the home was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay. Love the upper deck area.... so peaceful especially in mornings with coffee. Our family launched our paddle boards off dock and had a blast exploring. Just wish in future we could bring our lab:)... and house needs a dish scrubber and hair dryer... other than that was wonderful.

The float house was just as pictured. It was in a beautiful setting that was very tranquil. The only real issue we had was there was no working air conditioning, and it was very hot during our stay.

The home interior is in desperate need of updating, it's very 1970's looking but that's just cosmetic and you can see what you're getting from the pictures before booking. Now onto what you can't see until you book and stay there... 1. Blood stains on the bed sheets in both bedrooms. 2. Coffee table and end table in living both broken and wobble terribly. 3. The "office chair" in the living room has only 2 of 4 wheels. Maybe just throw it out? 4. Not being able to have more than 3 electrical devices powered on at a time without blowing a fuse. The last two nights there the portable upstairs bedroom AC and bathroom light blew and we weren't able to turn either back on by flipping the breaker so I slept upstairs in a very hot and stuffy attic with no bathroom lights. This place has no business being sold as a vacation rental. It's a disaster!

Super quiet neighborhood. The kids loved that we were staying in a float house instead of a regular hotel!

The people who work at the property were unforgivably rude to us, they lied to us or the listing was inaccurate and we didn't have 2 parking spots which was huge pain and then they laughed at us LOUDLY through broken windows in their dilapidated marina for wearing masks. Then we witnessed soemone in the marina destroy a goose nest filled with eggs.. I hated this trip, and will most likely never book with VRBO again.
