The private dock and lake access, along with the view, is what makes this property really shine. The hosts are so welcoming and accommodating and they went the extra mile to make our stay great.
Great location, gorgeous lake, owners were incredibly nice and responsive. Loved having use of the kayaks, and the jacuzzi was perfect in the evenings.
We had the pleasure of staying 3 nights at this beautiful location. Our trip took an unexpected turn with a storm and a nearly sunk boat. The property owner Shep and Joy went so far above and beyond to help us. We cannot thank them enough. Please do not hesitate to book your stay. Fishing, swimming, and paddle boarding from their dock will be fond memories for years to come.
Five Star Unforgettable Family Getaway in Sandpoint!
We just returned from an incredible family vacation in Sandpoint, Idaho, and weâre already dreaming about coming back! The renta was everything we hoped for, and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The property was perfectly equipped for a comfortable and relaxing stay.The kids especially loved the bunk room, hot tub and of course the slide on the dock. It was the perfect spot for evenings after a day of adventure. The location couldn't have been better â just minutes from downtown Sandpoint, with its charming shops, delicious restaurants, and friendly locals. We spent our days on Lake Pend Oreille and in the charming town.One of the highlights was relaxing on the deck in the mornings with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds and soaking in the peaceful forested surroundings. It felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.Shep and Joy, our hosts, were responsive, kind, and provided excellent recommendations for local activities and eateries. Itâs clear they truly care about making guests feel welcome and comfortable.If you're looking for a family-friendly retreat with access to both nature and small-town charm, th
Beautiful lake place with wonderful hosts. Our kids absolutely loved the slide on the dock and gorgeous setting. The beds were cozy and place was so clean. Weâll definitely be back!
The view of the lake is amazing! Shep and Joy were very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding towns and we went on a beautiful hike on Mineral Trail. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!
A lovely base camp to spend a few days in the Sandpoint area. A 10-12 minute drive to downtown made for the perfect mix of seclusion while still having access to all that sandpoint offers. The hosts (Shep and Joy) are very friendly and welcoming.
We had an absolute amazing time at Shep and Joy's place. The water slide, garden, and kitty cat made being on the lake extra special. Shep and Joy were especially kind to our children. We will stay again!
Shep and Joy have a beautiful home, it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. Shep drew us a map and listed out the various xc skiing options for our weekend in Sagle, so helpful! And we loved soaking in the hot tub afterwards with that amazing view!
Gorgeous spot on the lake with the most gracious hosts
My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for three nights and had a wonderful time. The property is clean, beds are comfy, and you have access to the lakefront from their dock. We rented kayaks from our hosts, and they were helpful getting us out on the water. Shep and Joy are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Highly recommend staying here.
Beautiful quite place on the lake. The private garden and dock are great places to relax. Shep and Joy are very hospitable and available if you need anything. I even borrowed a belt because I forgot to bring mine for a wedding!
Clean, comfortable, Loved the private dock, hot tub, and the wild raspberry's. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings looking out over such an amazing view! Shep is a wonderful host and it was a great pleasure to meet him. Hope we can meet Joy next time!
Our family of four had a great time at this location. The accommodations were clean and just the right size for us. Despite not having a kitchen, it was well equipped with many kitchen tools and utensils that were useful. Our kids loved swimming by the dock and the slide. The hosts were beyond caring and informative. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
Things didnât work out as planned with our trip but they worked around our schedule changes and were very sweet. Will book again and recommend them to friends!
We went to the lake house with our 3 year old and 18 month old. It was the perfect trip for their ages because we could play on the dock and yard, or go to the beach in Sandpoint. They both had a great time and even cried when we left. The host is super kind and the whole experience was perfect.
Beautiful property. We loved our stay and sad we didnât have time to enjoy the dock and lake. Owners were wonderful. Shep greeted us upon arrival, and shared area information with us. Although the VRBO was above the owners living area, we never saw them, but made himself available if we did need something. Definitely stay here again if in the area.
My husband and I visited Sagle to attend a wedding. What a beautiful location!! The unit is mostly equipped with all you will need. Both Shep and Joy were fabulous hosts! We want to come back in the winter when there is snow!!!
We're both career military officers and travelled all over the USA and the World for 30 years. Shep is now the director of an alpine ski racing team, and also runs an avalanche school. Joy is an avid skier, sailor and kayaker when not keeping a lid on things at home.
As we prepared to retire from the military we searched for a small town to raise our children. Another essential ingredient was finding a place where we could pursue our hobbies of skiing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, etc, etc. Sandpoint has it all!
Our home offers the quiet of the South shore while being minutes away from downtown Sandpoint. Most of the residences on our road are vacant in the Winter, and few things are finer than sitting in the hot tub, gazing at lights across the lake with the only sounds being snowflakes floating through the trees. In the Summer, the lake gives us fast and easy access to everything town has to offer.
