Amazing Stay!

What a wonderful home for a family vacation! The home was beautiful and being lakefront was a perfect location. Kids (and adults) loved the kayaks and paddleboards. The firepit was enjoyed nightly with s'mores! We hope to return!

The home was very clean and cozy. It had everything we needed for a fun family getaway. The tee-pee was darling! We enjoyed paddle boarding from the dock and roasting marshmallows and hot dogs on the beach. It was an easy drive into Sand Point! It did get pretty warm on a few nights, but they had plenty of fans which helped quite a bit.

We loved our stay. The house was very clean and decorated beautifully in the Northwest style. The location on the lake was great - easy to kayak and paddleboard. Amazing views. The teepee is fun too. Overall great stay!

Best VRBO we've ever stayed at!

The house was spacious, clean, well situated. It was the perfect place for our 15th annual mother, daughters, and kiddos getaway. The furnishing were high end and the house was cared for as if a family lived there fulltime. We plan to stay again.

The property is in a lovely neighborhood and is clean and modern. The lower part of the property has a dock, sandy beach, and wonderful view of the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only other comment is that the beach part of the property is down a slope, so older guests might have trouble going up and down.

Amazing week

The property is just as billed and is a fantastic place for a multi-family getaway, which is what we did. It was quiet, clean and very relaxing. We had an issue with a bathroom one of the days and the property management was super responsive and got someone out immediately to fix it. Couldn’t ask for a better interaction.

Sandpoint Family Get Away

We had a great time at the home! The decor was lovely. My only comment would be that the teepee was no longer up and the paddle boards and kayaks were no longer at the home. We truly appreciated the early morning delivery of a paddle board and 2 kayaks! Our grandkids used them a lot!

nice place nice location

nice big yard and driveway. not a great place to swim, no real beach and it is on a little inlet so the vegetation in the water accumulates. not the easiest place to moor your boat, shallow and narrow especially for bigger boats, we have a 24 foot pontoon boat but not a big issue. overall nice place and it accomodated my wife and I and two of our son's families.

Highly recommend!

We could not have asked for a better stay! Tons of attention to detail at this lovely home, which was one of our favorite rentals ever. The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds and linens are incredibly comfortable, the decor is beautiful, and the surrounding park-like yard with teepee and gazebo are a ton of fun and paradise for kids. The views of the lake and mountains from the deck and firepit were maybe best of all, even despite the fact that the water was very low during our stay. Thanks for everything, your hospitality (and very nice treat basket) are much appreciated and went a long way in creating beautiful family memories.
