The home is beautiful and the location is nice: quiet and peaceful. It has high end appliances (Wolf, Subzero) in a kitchen any level of cook would love. The views are incredible and there is a hiking trail about a quarter mile away. Sandpoint (restaurants, groceries, etc.) is about a 15-20 minute drive; Schweitzer is about 40 minutes. The house faces away from Sandpoint/Ponderay, so it's very dark at night, which is great for star gazing and sound sleep. The deck is huge and is furnished with chaise lounges, table and chairs, and a Weber grill. There is a shuffleboard and ping pong table downstairs, and a private dock on the lake. I would recommend this residence.
There are few drawbacks: It is expensive. The dishes and cookware are worn. The wifi is minimal (~20 mpbs up). To use a phone to play music, you'll need a headset adapter. Lots of flies in the house. Bottle Bay Road is not cyclist or pedestrian friendly. Not that there's a lot of traffic, but it's very narrow and windy. Finally, a landscape service showed up to do the lawn -- mowing, weed whacking, and most awful, leaf blowing. That's not my idea of a peaceful get-away and should've been done during the housekeeping changeover when paying renters are not there.
