This Pet-Friendly, Cedar Forest Retreat with lake view of Murphy Bay 1000MB WIFI

You will enjoy your morning coffee or sunset evening glass of wine from the beautiful 1000 square foot deck overlooking Lake Pend Oreille. This private, peaceful retreat is minutes from the vibrant town of Sandpoint and the City Beach. The cabin retreat has 2 bedrooms equipped with double queen bunk beds, dressers and can sleep 8 people. High speed Wifi and Netflix are also included. There is a propane Bar-B-Q and an outdoor oversized stone patio with fireplace, full kitchen and washer and dryer. Just a 15 minute drive to Schweitzer, a 40 minute drive to Silverwood Amusement Park, a 20 minute bicycle ride to City Beach or a 5 minute drive to downtown Sandpoint . Close to great hiking and biking trails. Enjoy all the great things this amazing town has to offer...great shops, restaurants, festivals and best of all amazing weather!! In the winter you can ski from nearby Schweitzer Mountain, snowmobile, cross-country and snowshoe. Year round activities at your doorstep. The retreat is pet friendly. We have a chocolate lab named Murphy and with the home on Murphy Bay, Murphy's retreat came to life.

Amazing Get Away

Very comfortable cabin. Beautiful place to relax and catch up with family who lives nearby. Loved the grill, fire pit, deck...everything! Erin and Thomas were very accommodating, and we were able to add an extra day to our stay. It was also wonderful to have our sweet doggo enjoy a vacation with us.

Great little cabin that met all of our needs. Loved staying here for the week. Having Schweitzer to ski 25 miutes away, the town to hang out in, and being able to drive to Coeur d'Alene for one day.

July 4th getaway

We had a wonderful stay. Murphy’s Retreat was the perfect home base for our holiday weekend adventures. The view from the deck is stunning and the huge fire pit and reclining chairs made for a perfect spot to hang out in the evenings. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies you could need, the beds were comfortable, and the home was nice and clean. The location was great and close to all sorts of activities including Dover bay, the farmers market, city beach park and more. We loved watching the neighbors fireworks. Best of all, we appreciated being able to bring our dogs along. Will highly recommend this home to friends.

Came to meet our new granddaughter who lives in Ponderay. This is a true gem, such a great little cabin with beautiful views of the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows with the grandkids. Can't wait to stay again was the perfect home away from home. Thank you for such a wonderful time

Perfectly charming get away

Loved our stay at Murphy’s Retreat. Comfy and quiet evenings on the large deck and fire pit. Everything you could ever need for food prep (although we elected to eat out—many places to choose from). Great place for the pups to hang with us. Lots of recommendations from hosts on places to go and things to do in the area. More amenities than a five star hotel. Place was spotless, obviously well cared for. Would highly recommend, well worth the price.

Beautiful setting in the trees with lake and mountain views

Super clean cabin and very comfortable beds. Well equipped with anything you could think of. Property is very convenient to Sandpoint and points north or south. It is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Our dog was very happy exploring around the cabin. Plenty of room to stretch your legs.

All the amenities and much more!

We stayed here with our two dogs and it was the perfect spot! Conveniently located- just a short drive away from beaches, trails, good food and all the adventure Sandpoint has to offer. The place was spotless too! We loved the map of the lake that the owner put on the wall which describes all the locations to visit and where dogs are welcome. If we make it back this way, we will certainly stay here again. Thank you to the owners for working hard to make this such a wonderful place to stay with our “kids” (pups).
