This Pet-Friendly, Cedar Forest Retreat with lake view of Murphy Bay 100MB 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.

We had a great stay... very comfortable retreat for us. Only wish the rain would have stayed away so we could have enjoyed the deck more.

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.

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

House looks better than the pics show. Really well taken care of and stocked. Great view of lake and close to town but totally private at same time.

This cabin is roomy, comfortable and equipped with everything you can imagine for a fun stay. The view of the lake through the trees is awesome. There is plenty of room for a group of eight and the owners are beyond gracious. We had a great time!

Beautiful setting. Plenty of amenities provide by hosts. Fabulous outside decks and fire pit. Not much of a view of lake but at least a peekaboo. Would definitely stay here again!

I stayed here with my two young children and mother and we had a terrific time. The house was well stocked with anything you could need. The deck was amazing to watch the beautiful sunsets and to enjoy meals on. We would definitely come again!

Loved spending the morning and evenings on the multi level deck/patio. The kitchen is beautiful. The location of Murphey's Retreat is convenient to Sandpoint too!

Nice updated kitchen, super comfy beds, a highlight is tons of great outdoor space & seating to enjoy. Great location to hit Sandpoint & all the lake has to offer. Owners a breeze to deal with.

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.

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).

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.

Nice cabin in the woods with views of the lake. Very well equipped in terms of both the cabin and amenities including fire pit, grill, smoker, bikes, watercraft etc. Note there is no direct water access from the property, but the views are great. The owners are very responsive.

Neat spot! Close to Sandpoint with a great relaxing outdoor patio and deck. The owners, Erin and Thomas were very attentive for any questions that came up. And, when I say tons to do I mean a shed full of things you can use like bikes, corn hole, tennis racquets, kayaks, soccer ball, just to name a few. The beds were SO comfortable...we all slept great! Two nights was definitely not enough to fully enjoy everything, but a great stay nonetheless.

We absolutely loved this property, it was very well stocked with everything you need. Great value for all this property offers. You can tell the hosts are welcoming and really care about your stay. Very clean and comfortable - the kitchen and main living space was perfect size for our group of 3. If there was one area for improvement it is that we were not fans of the queen bunk beds - it felt claustrophobic since one side was pushed up against the wall, and very limited head room - but the mattresses were very comfortable. Amazing outdoor spaces - decks and patio. Overall the property was one of the best we've ever stayed at - highly recommend.

Erin and Thomas, your property was incredible and the perfect spot for me and my family to spend time this December. The location was ideally located, taking us only 5 minutes to get downtown and only 25 to get to the ski hill. The amenities at the property were as described and we loved the cozy vibe. Our pet Lucy sure loved being able to stay at the property as well! Both of you were incredibly responsive and assisted us with all of our questions. Thank you for such an amazing experiencing with VRBO!
