This spectacular riverview house is perfect for those who love to spend their days outdoors. Located near the beautiful Pend Oreille River, which opens into Lake Pend Oreille, you will find a sandy private beach for swimming, boating, kayaking, and picnicking. Equipped with two boat slips, a beach volleyball court, picnic tables, a firepit, and a grill, this wonderful rental is the perfect destination for your Idaho getaway!
During winter months, enjoy snowshoeing on the home's 80+ acres, sledding, or skiing at nearby Schweitzer resort. In the summer, the beach and boat slip access are across Highway 2, easily accessible by foot or car (please note only one car is allowed on the beach - there is additional parking at the end of the road before the crossing). There is a paid boat launch at Dover and a free launch at Berry Lane, just a few minutes west on Highway 2.
This beautiful property is perfect for family reunions, weddings, and other group get-togethers. You may see wildlife on the property, such as deer, moose, and wild turkey, and there is a lovely river view from the living room. Inside, the house offers a well-appointed kitchen, an open-concept space with new appliances, and a dining table that seats 10. End your day playing board games or Ping-Pong or watching movies by the fire. Your well-behaved dog is welcome for a small nightly fee, and you'll have access, as well.
The sleeping loft at Riverpoint House is like a big beautiful tent with soaring ceilings. This space sleeps seven people with one queen-size bed, one queen fold-out, one full bed, and one twin. This pretty and unique space offers the perfect “bunkhouse” experience, while the downstairs private primary provides a sunrise view of the river, a comfortable king-size bed, and a private primary bath with a soaking tub and views of the woods.
Things to Know If working remotely, a personal hotspot is recommended due to the semi-rural location.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

We enjoyed the views and soaking in the hot tub after coming back from snowboarding at Sxhweitzer ! Recommend it to anyone who is looking to relax and take in the fresh air!

Hidden gem with perks
Great spot at a reasonable price, with the added perk of a neighborhood beach access inclusive of a volleyball court
Overall, enjoyed the stay, home was comfortable and clean. Chose this over a similar less expensive booking because of the beach access and hot tub. Beach is across the highway, 20 min walk.
We had a great time staying here. It was a nice place for our whole family. We wanted a place to stay that was close to Schweitzer and dog friendly. It’s about a half hour away and an easy drive. We loved being able to use the hot tub and enjoyed the variety of games and the ping pong table. The only complaint is that we tried reaching out to the owner to ask a question about a week before our trip and we never got a response.
Quite private area. The house was clean and views were beautiful. My only wish is that there were curtains in the bed and bathroom. The house has everything we needed and was close enough to town to grab groceries. We will be staying again with our family.

Amazing property
We loved this property. I brought my daughter and a friend for my daughter’s 18th birthday. We had a fantastic time. The cabin is gorgeous, very clean and everything you need is there. Well organized. The lake/river is walking distance and a great place to set up for the day and paddle or float, spend time on the beach and play volleyball or other games. We loved this place and will definitely come back!

Anniversary stay
Overall a good stay. Rain really hard one night then a tree fell down over the main driveway. No accidents or injury suffered.
We cleared the driveway..the house sits close to the highway...alittle noisy when outside.
However. The house was perfect, clean and fun for our family...would go back again

Loved every second of our stay here!
This house was such a treat to stay in. We loved the eclectic style and cozy feel, the views were so peaceful. The kitchen was so well stocked- we all were very excited about that because we had come ready to cook and it was so convenient to have everything we needed and not have to improvise. It was nice and clean. The hot tub was a huge hit! All the beds were nice and comfy and my dog loved the huge yard and lookout deck. It was a great location to get to Priest Lake (About an hour away) and very close to Sandpoint. We will absolutely be returning in the future!

Great space to get away!
This eclectic home nestled in the trees was a great getaway. We loved the house and all its quicky decorations. There is a bit of noise from the highway that is very close and also a lack of privacy from the surrounding homes as there are no curtains. Although we came as a couple this house is set up for additional kid travelers well. We aren’t dog people and house did smell like musty pet.
Our favorite was the hot tub. We enjoyed it multiple times during our 2 1/2 day stay. Our children loved the skis and snowboards that were in the garage and happily played on a hill right next to the house with them every day. There are views of the river, but please note when you’re reading the description, that it does say the access is *across the highway*. The road to the access is steep/sketchy in the winter time if that’s when you choose to go, but you’ll be fine with 4WD. My family went because I had planned on placing a rose in the river to honor my brother as he had passed two years ago on the weekend we booked our stay. Some basic amenities were present, but not much. Thankfully we brought our own cooking oil, but bring your own spices, coffee and hot pads + tinfoil, plastic wrap, ziplocs (if you need them) because they are not provided. The house design is eccentric and neat! Lots of choices of DVDs on the upper and lower level. The TV and DVD player upstairs does not work (sound is broken), so we just stuck with the downstairs set up. The Roku remote for that was very spotty (as the batteries were old) but we were able to get it working better by finding a spare battery in a junk drawer. The shower/bath temps are scalding or cold, just fyi. Overall, we had a great weekend and we actually paid a very small fee to extend our checkout time on our last day. We would stay again in the summertime just to get a different experience.
Comforting style, wind open outdoors, and an excellent hot tub for soaking. Everything was what we hoped for and the whole stay exceeded our expectations.
Beautiful property and well stocked kitchen. Clean home and hot tub!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We had a lovely stay. The house is beautiful and well appointed. However, we booked the place partly because it was listed as having a "wood burning fireplace." When we arrived, there was a sign asking us not to use the fireplace. It was really misleading and disappointing!
Beautiful cabin and beautiful lake. Just a little creepy at night. A lot of big windows and no blinds or curtains

Fantastic home!!
Our family had a great time on vacation at this home. We loved the open feel and beautiful art work. The private beach area was a very nice bonus. The home had everything that we needed. We will definitely be back next year!!!!
This is a wonderful property. Generously well stocked and beautifully appointed. Close to town and several points of interest that we visited during our stay. It wouls be helpful to have a binder of instructions for all of those remotes and whst is exprcted af closing We highly recommend this property to potentisl guests.
Don’t really know where to start…loved everything about the place. The fact that there is so much art and well thought out furnishings makes this place feel very comfortable. The place is even better than the pictures show. We definitely want to stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us!

Great place for a ski vacation
We had four adults in this home and had plenty of room to spread out. We loved having the hot tub to relax in after skiing. The kitchen was also well-equipped besides having sharp knives. We felt like the value was excellent. The property is somewhat close to the highway that is not busy at night. There are no window coverings in this unit so you may want to bring eyeshades for sleeping. Will be returning to this property!
