Great getaway

Loved the location. Quiet area, gorgeous scenery, waters off dock were perfect to let kids relax and play in. Kayaks were huge bonus. The sandy “beach” area was fun and the dock was great. Landscaping is beautiful. Home is well appointed. Could use new pots and pans. Pillows had seen better days. Home was clean upon arrival and furniture was nice. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Great Location But Run Down

This is a great location, BUT the table and countertops had dried food on them. The deck and stairs need replaced, dangerous for elderly folks. The fireplace full of ashes and floors were dirty. The house is just old and in need of attention. The dishes are by far second hand, at this price point you expect the home to be sound, clean, and have nice amenities. The refrigerator handle was broken and inside the second shelf lid was missing. Slider door screen broken, no wood for wood stove or firepit outside. I could go on and on, I think you get the picture..

Serene, relaxing, and fun!

As far as scenery, there’s nothing better. The mountains surrounding this beautifully manicured and private escape are breathtaking. We only had a short stay so we maximized our experience by waking very early and were so grateful we did because the view of the river from the deck with the early morning mist was heavenly….truly something to behold. And waking early gave us so much time to enjoy fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We have five children from ages 3-11 and they all had the time of their lives, while we discovered a new found love for kayaking!! They supplied enough kayaks for all of us to enjoy little river adventures as a family of 7. My only tips if you’re on your way to enjoy this beautiful vacation home would be to maybe bring your own life vests because you’ll want to be sure everyone has one that fits safely (a few are supplied which was wonderful, but will not suit every group). Also, if you’re afraid of spiders at all just be prepared that you will definitely encounter a few sizeable ones! I assume it’s especially difficult to control them during the July to August timeframe, but possibly a little more pest control would be one of few critiques. Even so this would not impact our desire to return and in fact we booked two stays within one month so we are thrilled to go back and have another exciting weekend with the kids. I would recommend FULLY stocking up on absolutely everything you might want or need during your stay from coffee creamer to condiments and possibly even a couple larger sized towels as the ones provided are quite small. We arrived to the property and went straight to the beach because unlocking the door proved to be a bit confusing (we eventually figured out the lock needs to be turned before the door will open) and saw that there was fencing along the sand where it meets the water. Initially we were quite irritated and confused thinking this might possibly mean we shouldn’t access the water from the sand?? If this happens to you - you’ll learn as we did that it’s simply a preventative measure to keep geese/ducks off of the property to maintain cleanliness and they make it clear you should roll back the fencing to use the beach! It was a little hot in the house when we arrived but we turned down the air and eventually the temperature was tolerable. There is also a fan for upstairs to help circulate the air and make sleeping more comfortable. I think the only true negative would be that the train across the river which is super fun to see and hear during the day isn’t so fun at night from the loft bedroom. It runs during the night and will definitely wake up lighter sleepers. So I would say choose a different room or maybe bring ear plugs - but it turned into a positive for us because it got us out of bed bright and early, without it we wouldn’t have discovered the breathtaking beauty of the early mornings on the river. Overall, a fantastic place to spend quiet, peaceful, family time. Our short trip was amazing!

What an amazing weekend we had with family. We enjoyed the beach front property and our own private dock. Plenty of room inside and out and our host that lives close to the property was very quick to respond to emails to answer any questions I had. They even made sure we had enough wood for our fire! We wish we could have stayed longer on this stunning property.

Stunning home and views, we booked again so we could stay longer next summer! Toddler and dog friendly, kids toys, puzzles, and games made the rainy days so enjoyable. Excellent fishing, loved the kayaks. Property well kept and clean inside and out. Be sure to bring worms for fishing and bug spray in the summer. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful property with great views

This is an outstanding property! Great views, lake access, mountain views, privacy and relaxed setting. The log house is very nice, with a great layout, room for a large family, great outdoor space and all the amenities to just stay home and enjoy the sunshine. Our family of 5 really enjoyed all there was to do on the property, in Sandpoint and on the lake. I can't think of a better place to enjoy the outdoors and relax with our family.

A vacation to remember!

What a great time we just had at the Waterfront Ranch on Pend Orielle! It was my wife and I with our 2 kids, their spouses and 2 grandkids (7 and 4 years old), 8 of us in all. There is plenty of room in this fantastic house! It sits on a huge lot and the views in every direction are breathtaking. We all enjoyed relaxing on the deck, patios and dock. The grandkids loved the sandy beach. And what a treat the kayaks were. We all had fun floating in them. The house is solid, well built and huge! The owner has it well stocked and has even supplied plenty of firewood for the fire pit. And if you’re into games they have tons of them. We were never bored. The home was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed. From this location, Sandpoint is 20 minutes or so away and the drive is easy and beautiful. There is a lot to do there. We went in to Sandpoint a couple of times and also decided to make a day trip up to Canada and had lunch in Creston. I could say much more about this gem of a home but the bottom line is that it is an excellent place to have a vacation to remember! Our 7 yr old granddaughter wanted to stay and move in! We will be back!

Amazing property

We chose this property for two reasons: we've always been curious about log cabins, and the property. Neither disappointed us. The property was absolutely amazing and the highlight of our stay. The fact that we were able to bring our dog was icing on the cake. During our stay, we saw bald eagles, ospreys, herons, wild turkeys, turkey vultures and several deer (including a newborn fawn). There's a semi-hidden trail behind the shop where the grass has been mowed down that takes you through the woods and out to the peninsula, then back home that we walked daily. The large yard was beautifully maintained and was perfect for playing with our dog. Mornings and evenings were spent on the deck just enjoying the stunning view across the water. The area is quiet and incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The cabin was beautiful, with a nice kitchen. It was adequately stocked with nice pots and pans, dishes, silverware and basic appliances (Keurig, toaster, microwave). Things like cookie sheets, cutting boards, utensils and knives were showing some wear and could stand to be replaced. And nothing in terms of basic supplies (spices, oils, foil, baggies, etc.) are provided; the few things that were there were clearly left by other renters, so you need to bring or buy literally everything you might need as there are no guarantees. The beds were comfortable, and there were more than enough towels, although some of them, while clean, had stains or were quite rough, and should probably be removed from rotation. We were never able to find the hairdryer that was stated as provided, just an odd brush/dryer combination that was full of other people's hair, so we did without. Overall the cabin was very clean, although it probably needs a deeper clean than just between visitors (for example, there were large cobwebs up in the ceiling, and under some of the furniture was quite dusty). What could have made the stay better? Window coverings in the two upstairs bathrooms. We're morning people and got used to no blinds in the bedroom loft area but some sort of blinds in the bathrooms would have made us a lot more comfortable. In addition, there was a lovely sitting area down by the beach, but the chairs were just thrown in the sand, not set up and filthy, so we never had an opportunity to enjoy that. Overall though, we had an amazing time and would absolutely come back again for another stay!

Nice location

Nice house on a spacious lot, quiet area, lots of birds, nice views. stayed in winter without any snow- water at more of a distance than the pictures due to season. It’s 45 minutes to Schweitzer. Did not get to enjoy outdoor seating which looks nice. Enjoyed indoor fireplace (bring wood).

Great retreat away from town

This location was wonderful. A bunch of mom friends came and stayed and it was perfect for our little friend retreat. It was quiet and peaceful, the views are stunning from every direction from sun up to sun down. The beds were all comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows, and the kitchen is really well stocked. We would definitely return.

Stunning Location

We couldn't believe that all of this was ours for our stay and that the cost was within our reach! Such a beautiful log cabin overlooking an inlet of the lake! And a ton of space! The fireplace made our hearts rejoice during a rainy day during our stay. And the trail (that the owner mowed out through the grasses) made for a lovely walk during the sunny and warmer part of our stay. We loved the deck on the house and the dock on the lake in the early morning fog! Had it been warmer while we were there, we would have taken the kayaks out on the lake. I don't think I can say enough good things about this place! It was quiet and a great place to spend time reflecting. There were fields around the house -- nothing too close so it felt private. I loved walking the long gravel road in the morning and seeing the stars and moon at night. The 3-floor cabin was well stocked with everything we needed and super comfortable to hang out in. I especially loved the beautiful high ceiling, the gorgeous dining room table, all the log work inside, the HUGE bathroom upstairs (with a huge jetted tub) and the many windows looking out onto the lake. And of course, the beds were so comfortable and the linens on the beds were so nice (not cheap crap)! We needed help with one thing and the owner popped right on over to help us! He was very nice! What shocked me mostly was that our dogs were welcomed in this nice home, but the home doesn't smell of dogs at all! Having our little doggies with us made all the difference for us. Thank you for a memorable joyous stay! We will return again!
