The Hidden Moose Lodge
The Hidden Moose Lodge was so much more than we expected -- it was not only exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting, but it also really felt like home. Our stay was so easy, because everything we needed -- including condiments, spices, laundry detergent, rubbing alcohol, etc. -- was all right there and easy to find. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the back deck watching the ducks, golden and bald eagles, deer, and turkey. The hosts were wonderfully nice, warm, and responsive. They have put a lot of love into the cabin, and you will feel that love when you stay there. We can't wait to go back!

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!

Woodland Beach Drive Lake House
Cozy and clean! No pictures of the bathroom in the listing, but the bathroom was clean and matched description.

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.

Lake Guesthouse Suite
Don was wonderful! It was a great place to stay for our short weekend. The lake is beautiful and the dock is a great place to hang out. Hosts were very gracious and got us an iron when we needed to press our shirts. Thank you don!

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

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

3rd Ave. Tiny House - Steps from Downtown
The tiny house was very cozy and cute. We liked that it was close to downtown, and we were able to walk to places to eat. Mike was very friendly and helpful when we needed the wall heater turned on to dry out our clothes and blankets after we watched the parade in the rain, haha, silly us. It was a lovely place to stay and we would recommend staying there.

Luxurious home w/ hot tub & boat slip
This beautiful house overlooks the lake and mountains. It provided my family with comfortable and private rooms and also had lovely common spaces such as the chef’s kitchen and peaceful deck. The hot tub was wonderful to relax while taking in the sunset. Joya was very responsive and friendly.

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
Laura & David have a great place! They are quick to respond to questions and help out if needed. It was a great weekend, and beautiful lake!

Quiet Private Lake House in Elk
This was the perfect spot for a long weekend with 3 generations. Three nice bedrooms with private baths, plus a half bath off the kitchen gave us each our own space. An open kitchen, living and dining area made it perfect for being together. We made good use of the large, eat at island with comfortable chairs. My 89 year old father-in-law especially appreciated the swivel chairs with arm rests to help him get up and down with ease. The kitchen was well stocked with nice pots and pans, but it would have been nice to have more plates and forks, so we didn’t have to wash them between each meal. The kitchens up and down are both large and clean. We brought all of our food for three days, so we had plenty of room to store stuff. My son, wife and two year old daughter were in heaven with the kayaks, row boat, paddle boat and two person paddle board. They even talked us old fogies into getting out on the water. It was a chilly weekend, so the hot tub was great too. Hope to return!

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.

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
Loved the stay, it was great! Close to downtown Sandpoint and within walking of the Dover city beach and the Dish restaurant. Perfect little house. Fit our family of three just great.

Beautiful Priest Lake Home on the Golf Course
Enjoyed our stay! Cleanliness is very important to me and I was appreciative of how clean the home was. Everything we needed was available and more. Would stay here again!

Waterfront Eagle's Nest Guest House
What a great get away! This place was above and beyond what we expected. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect offering us quiet and peaceful time for relaxing and gorgeous views . There are kayaks available for your use. We did kayaking just in front of the guest house! The restaurant recommendations were great! This is the special place to visit. We highly recommend.

Pack River Cabin @ Twin Brook Chalets
What a great cute cabin off the grid!! The location was great in proximity to trails and hiking. John was great about clear instructions especially because he knew he'd be unavailable the weekend I'd be there. There were a lot of instructions but it was so easy to follow that I had no issues what so ever. John did a great job setting up this cabin and the amenities. I'm sure it's even better in the summer but the coziness even when cold with the wood fire stove was great for just relaxing and reading. Although random, the bathroom decor was my favorite. To find out what I mean, you'll just have to book with him. I promise it's worth it!

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.

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!

The Play House
My wife and I stayed at Dan and Carol Ann’s beautiful “playhouse” for our 1st wedding anniversary and it was perfect. We really loved the private feel and cute decor. Very spacious and clean. They really thought of every detail and went above and beyond with personal touches to make our anniversary special.

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.

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!

The Lake House at Sacheen
The home was a perfect home base for my wedding weekend in Newport! The area is beautiful, peaceful and private. The home had everything we could’ve needed to feel comfortable and at home. The beds were also very comfortable! The owners are very responsive and kind!
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.
