Luxurious home w/ hot tub & boat slip
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake home. The kitchen is well stocked for all cooking, plenty of games for the family, and the most incredible patio area. The home was extremely clean and tidy but felt so comfortable for our family. The lake is quite a walk away and we chose to drive down to the walking path each time we wanted to access the dock. We hope to be back again to create many more family memories.

Sandpoint Lake Retreat
Our stay was at Jordan’s home was perfect for our girls getaway! I couldn’t have asked for anything better. He was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. He went above and beyond our requests! The home was absolutely gorgeous! So many unique aspects. In my opinion it is much more spacious than the photos make it appear. We easily fit 14 ladies comfortably. Kitchen was fully stocked. We came prepared, brought dishes etc. but quickly realized we should have left all of that home. The kitchen had everything we needed! It was a quick trip this time, but we will definitely be back so we can enjoy the home and beach a little more! Thank you Jordan for a great experience!

Nana's Lake House - Diamond Lake - Newport, WA
We booked a girls weekend here for a relaxing girls trip before my friend’s wedding and it was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful view with lots to do and see, and if there’s any questions, David and Laura are super responsive and helpful! Directions and rules are super clear and it’s very clean and tidy. We had a great weekend and 10/10 would stay again!

Rustic Horseshoe perfect private escape
We didn't spend much time at our cabin, but it was very peaceful with friendly and helpful neighbors. The across the street neighbor brought over information on Bayview, and gave us a couple of very helpful recommendations on things to do. We were in town for a graduation, and this cabin provided the perfect peaceful retreat after busy days. The moonlight lake and mountain views were postcard perfect. Be aware that the sign for the street was behind tree branches, and totally hidden at night. We had airline travel delays, which caused us to be eight hours late, arriving the next day. It was much easier to find. It is about 10 minutes from downtown Bayview. The kitchen seemed well stocked, lots of board games, and young children's toys. The master bedroom was very comfortable for sleeping. We were very pleased with this cabin and look forward to future stays.

Sandy Bottom Cabin—Lakefront, Dock, Beach,Fire Pit
This is one of the most amazing properties we’ve ever stayed in. The view is amazing and having a private beach is next level. Its in kind of a little inlet area with only 5 or so other homes. We kayaked around the lake and rented a boat one day, both were so much fun and this area is perfect for it. We went swimming in the lake every single day. The fire pit is also great. The house was very clean and a starter kit of toiletries, dish soap, and laundry soap were provided. There were lots of towels. Plenty of nice soft blankets were provided also. The memory foam mattresses were great, this is the first rental I’ve had a sleep better than in my own home! Upstairs there's a loft area where our 3 kids stayed (ages 16, 5, and 2). The hosts really went the extra mile and selected quality furniture both inside and out of this property. Parking was easy, getting to standpoint was easy. There are so many things to do in this town we can't wait to come back! Communication was amazing too.

Cozy Casa Lake: Private Dock, Lake View, Fire Pit!
I dont often leave reviews but my husband and I brought our 4 kids here for a week on the lake recently and we had the best time. The home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. We had a great stay and are really excited to book another trip there soon.

The Hope House Lake Pend Oreille Waterfront Home
This is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood with spectacular views. We loved it so much we extended our stay and are already talking about coming again next year. There is a nice hiking trail right down the road and other hiking and biking trails a short drive away. We were able to kayak right off the pier, although there are a number of stairs you need to take down to the water which was clearly shown in the photos. Brandy was very helpful with local recommendations and immediately responsive to our questions. We had a great week!

Mountain Bluebird Lakehouse
We loved this BnB. It's in a planned community think planned trails, amenities etc. Most of the other homes are rentals as well. It's quiet and clean. My toddlers loved the nature trail, beach, dock, beach toys and ample bike riding trails. The house encompasses everything about north idaho lake life that I love. The house is in great condition. It's well stocked and the appliances are all very nice. We hope to be back again.

Cabin in the Cedars.Close to Lake,Town & Mountain
Sandpoint is a beautiful gem in northern Idaho with Michele's cabin nestled nearby. The cabin is fairly small and the loft is really cozy, and there's a lot of options for activities around the cabin. The shower takes a little persuasion to be hot, but it wasn't a big deal. A lot of mosquitos, bring spray!

Hunters/Trappers cabin, tiny cabin, Cocolalla
Awesome place, highly recommend. It was a much needed time away from humans and the city with nature and peace

Lake Affect Retreat, Lake Access & Mountain View
Lake Affect Retreat is an absolutely beautiful and stunning home. The pictures don't do it justice. The home is nestled among tall trees and sits just right at the lake's edge. We were able to watch bald eagles and other wildlife while relaxing on the porch. We BBQ steaks, soaked in the hottub, and used their kayaks for a fun filled weekend. Deon and Christopher were excellent hosts; friendly and always available for any needs we may have needed. Her banana bread is delicious and was a kind welcoming. I would recommend staying here! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your space with us.

Beautiful Waterfront Hideaway at Sacheen Lake
Enjoyed our stay at Shawn’s cabin on the lake. It wasn’t just a beautiful setting but the cabin fit perfectly with the surroundings. Shawn was very thorough in her description of the cabin and the surroundings. We took advantage of the horse back riding she suggested and it was amazing too. All in all, a wonderful experience! I hope to be back this fall.

Lake Guesthouse Suite
Smaller than i expected but tons of stuff to do outside.. highly recommend

The Cabin on the Lake
Great view, very enjoyable stay!

Wooded Heights River Retreat / with Hot Tub
The house is very welcoming and cozy! The morning and evening sun on the river from the dock is truly a sight to see. I had the opportunity to paddle board for the very first time on the river and had an incredible experience. There were so many fun and cute amenities, but so little time to enjoy them all. We headed out looking to enjoy the outdoors on the river for a birthday celebration, and came back with so many fun memories! The area is the perfect destination for a small Idaho getaway. Thank you so much, Gloria and Dave! You’re both great hosts! :)

Perchview, private apartment on Lake
Great location! Accommodations were excellent and Hosts-Bruce&Susan were very helpful for all of our needs. Looking forward to a return trip! Brian & Anita

Waterfront Eagle's Nest Guest House
What is there to say about Daniel & Charities place other than wow! If you are looking for a beautiful spot to relax and unwind while enjoying the beautiful lake, this is the place. My wife and I brought our 1.5 year old and spent everyday hanging out on sandy beach and playing in the lake. It was a wholesome trip and Daniel made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. From Kayaking to fishing we did it all and had a great time. The house is well built and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the beauty of Sandpoint. We highly recommend Daniel's place to anyone looking for a retreat away form it all!

Swanky Cabin - Romance on the Clark Fork River
This was the 2nd time we stay at the Swanky Cabin. It was just as beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful as the last time. We just love to sit either on the deck or on the swing down by the bank of the river, to drink our morning coffee. She has a nice record collection, the pool table is incredibly well taken care of and the cabin itself is well kept.

The Play House
Beautiful place and surrounding nature - best place we've ever stayed in! The house was very clean, well stocked, everything and more than we could think of was provided. The outdoor spa was a very nice touch, exactly what was needed after a day of hiking. Thank you very much for such a beautiful place, you are great hosts - made our vacation extra special!

Newly remodeled Priest Lake home, close to Elkins
Tammy was an awesome host and made us feel extremely welcome. Very organized and the home was perfect for our weekend trip. Would definitely go back!

Legacy Lodge Mountain River Retreat
Lovely place! Our hosts had immaculately cleaned, and although we kind of buzzed through, nothing that wasn’t positive. Thank you!

Garden of Eagen: A Lovers' Getaway and Retreat
This property is absolutely enchanting and so romantic. It was the perfect peaceful getaway my husband and I needed after a stressful time. The view is breathtaking, and the house is situated to take full advantage of it.

Breathtaking Lake Pend Oreille Views
The view from the decks of Lake Pend Oreille was beautiful and it was quiet and serene. The electronic keypad on the front door was not working well so we had some trouble getting into the house. Connie and Steve were quick to respond and we were eventually able to get back inside. Hopefully the keypad will be fixed or replaced so that this will not be a problem in the future. Other than this one inconvenience, we enjoyed our stay here very much.

Secluded Mountain Cabin Close to Town
Nathan's cabin was relaxing and clean! We really enjoyed our stay and loved that it was close to town. We hope to return in the future!
Your guide to Priest Lake
All About Priest Lake
In the northernmost region of the Idaho panhandle, just 30 miles south of the Canadian border, Priest Lake is surrounded by the mile-high Selkirk Mountains and near endless cedar, fir, and tamarack forests. This 10,000-year-old lake with nearly 80 miles of shoreline has become a destination for nature lovers and thrill-seekers. The clear waters, sourced from the mountaintops, make prime conditions for water-skiing, sailing, and canoeing. Just under the shimmering surface is an ecosystem teeming with life, the draw of competitive fishers who make their way from all across the country to try and reel in trophy-sized trout.
Just past the lakeshores, Priest Lake State Park is a nature-bound playground suited for all levels of activity, from observing whitetail deer, moose, and bald eagles in their natural habitats to rock climbing in the nearby mountain range and cross-country skiing in the wintertime. While you’re out adventuring on the park’s numerous biking, hiking, and horseback trails, you’re likely to come across the region’s famous huckleberry bushes, which you’re encouraged to pick from and enjoy. You’ll also find a handful of small lakeside towns scattered across the shore, where you can grab any essentials you’ll need during your stay at your Priest Lake rental.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Priest Lake
Priest Lake has something to draw you during each of the four seasons. The summer is an excellent time to spend a day cooling down in the water or exploring the state park trails hunting for ripe huckleberries. The temperature starts to cool down in fall, and visitors flock to the region to see the gorgeous fall foliage and take a gentle rafting trip down the Priest River. Though winters don’t get as cold as they do west of the Rockies, the amount of snowfall in the region draws in visitors looking to take in the gorgeous white landscape via cross-country skis, snowshoes, and snowmobiles. Spring is the best time to take in the beautiful circle of life, when deer, elk, and other animals that call the park home care for their newborns as the ice thaws. It’s something beautiful to witness, but please leave the animals undisturbed.
Top things to do in Priest Lake
Hanna Flats Cedar Grove Trail
This quarter-mile-long trail brings you through an ancient part of the forest that has survived hundreds of years of logging, homesteading, and natural disasters. The path features educational panels, and you can learn about eight species of trees and nearly two dozen other thriving plant species.
Priest River
This 68-mile river runs through every variation of landscape that the region is known for, from canyons to dense forest to vast pastures with beautiful backdrops of the Selkirk Mountains. Advanced water-sports enthusiasts will want to check out the Class III rapids in the spring, while more casual rafters will want to take this trip during October, when the river is lower and calmer.
Vinther-Nelson Cabin
Only accessible by boat, the Vinther-Nelson Cabin was built by hand in 1897 and is a step back into what life was like in homestead Idaho. Preserved by the Vinther and Nelson families, its caretakers also created a small on-site museum where visitors to Eight Mile Island can learn about the region’s history.
