Experience the lake life from a different point of view at this lakefront float house! There's plenty of space to stretch out comfortably and enjoy a vacation like no other. Snuggle up on the sofa with a warm cup of coffee in hand and admire the views of the lake and marina. Feeling hungry? The kitchen is well equipped with all the appliances needed to whip up tasty meals and snacks on the go. There's even a countertop dishwasher to make lake life easier. There is also a small combo washer/dryer that will be great for rinsing and spinning swimming gear. However, for larger loads, there is a laundry up by the restaurant. Both bedrooms are separated by a convenient living area with two armchairs and a flatscreen TV (no cable). The full bathroom available has a standalone shower.

With this location, all you have to do is step out your door, and you'll be in the water. You can visit the nearby Bayview Marina to dock your boat for a fee. This floating home is located right on Lake Pend Oreille, which is Idaho's deepest and biggest lake! Here you can find plenty of parks, boat launches, and try your hand at boating, wildlife spotting, and fishing. Try some of the delicious local cuisine at Lake House Bar & Grill, Ralph's Coffee House & Cafe, or JD's Pub & Grill, all of them within walking distance. Silverwood Theme Park is 12.8 miles away and has over 70 rides you can enjoy!

Great Place!
The place was very cute and clean! Large kitchen and two living areas, bathroom is rather small, would still be great for a family. There were only two of us for a short visit but we would stay here again.

Unique place to stay
What a treat to stay somewhere so different. Modern, easy to access, great views from the front deck and plenty of room. Just don’t drop anything because it’s straight into the water ( sadly had to learn from experience).

Beautiful, peaceful, and breath-taking
The home itself is beautiful, clean, and well kept. Location is peaceful. Great to obtain a glimpse of retirement. Simple life. Very much enjoyed it with my family. We will again look forward to another vacation there when the opportunity is available.

A wonderful place to getaway
What a cozy place. So clean. Really charming. Would happily stay again! Some other reviewers commented on furniture in the tv room- agree that the furniture in that room is a bit tired. It seemed ready for updating ( not comfy like furniture in the rest of the house) we stayed on a rainy weekend so used this room. However not at all a negative review of this property overall- it is wonderful!

Shabby Chic houseboat
A nice little floating home. Comfortable furniture, basic kitchen items for eating and cooking. Small bathroom with good water pressure and a lot of hot water. Great A/C unit kept us comfortable. The W/D is a combo unit for small loads of laundry. It doesn’t dry items well. Luckily the sun was hot so we draped our swimming towels outside to dry. Friendly neighbors on the dock. Great little coffee shop and cafe within walking distance.

Fun at Bayview
What a cute boat house. Very good use of space that housed our family of 6 comfortably. Very clean and nice decor. Boat garage was a plus. A couple of annoyances was there was only a keurig coffee pot with no pods and no where near to buy them. Also it didn't even work once we found coffee. There is NO trailer parking anywhere near. Which is really frustrating because the house is set up to have your boat. Other than that it was great!

Lock box
The electronic lock on door did not work. I was not aware there was a lock box and did not have a code. My phone did not get service in that area. A neighbor finally came home and let me use his phone. I got code and key. Please let others know about lock box and code. Rest of visit was enjoyable

Roads that lead to nowhere
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We just had some difficulty finding this float house. If you put the address into the GPS it takes you on some wild back roads that lead to nowhere. We then put the marina into the GPS and this took us to the main marina office but there was no one there. We called the marina office and left a message and no one returned our call. Eventually we had to resort to asking a lovely gentleman who was walking his dog for directions. It just would have been nice to have skipped all of this as we were tired from traveling and excited to get to our vacation home and start relaxing. Maybe some detailed instructions on how to get there and/or what to look for would be nice. But overall, it was a wonderful little home with wonderful neighbors. We would definitely come back again - hands down.

Location, Location!
We love staying in the floating houses in Bayview. This one is very updated, clean and has amazing views. Our favorite part is the quick drive to Silverwood, coming back and just relaxing in this amazing location. The house has two seperate living areas so if you have small children it makes it nice as they have their own space to hang out while you relax in the front area soaking in the mountains and water views. :)

Amazing boat house!
Location was amazing and perfect - super quiet, close to Farragut State Park (hiking, swimming), easy to get to (NO traffic, convenient parking spaces). The house was on a dock in the water! House was super nice, very spacious and clean. It had 2 wings, we had our own space (own living room), lots of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable. A few things: *Hot water in the kitchen and bathroom get REALLY HOT - be careful with the shower, you could burn yourself! *The lights all through the house are very bright with no way to soften - either dimmer switches or floor lamps would help. *Dishes were dirty, washed everything before we used it. *Bring your own wine glasses 😀

Thank you
Thank you for letting my family and I stay in this beautiful, cosy boat house. It had plenty of space for six the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were all stocked very well and the bedrooms had plenty of bedding. It was so nice to sit on the deck with a coffee and watch the boats and the ducks. The house w was so clean and tidy. It was a short drive to The amenities and a short walk to the restaurant and store. Thank you again it was a beautiful stay.

Cute & quiet with great proximity to Silverwood
Staying in a floating house was a fun experience. It was very clean and checking in/out was a breeze. In my check in info, I knew there would be an additional $5/day for parking. The unfortunate part - I’m not sure how it could sleep 6. The grey chair in the listing looked like a single fold out, but we couldn’t get it folded out all the way and even if we could, it didn’t sit level. So my 12 year old ended up sleeping on the sofa in the main living room (luckily she’s not tall). The double bed would work for a small couple, but not really for 12 & 14 year olds to share. We loved the proximity to Silverwood (our reason for being in Idaho) and enjoyed the sunsets on the little front porch in the evenings. The coffee shop in the area is good and dining in the lake one night was also a great experience.

Lovely location
This property was perfect for my family trip. Please clean the spiders and bugs from the garage, and figure out how to close it. A regular coffee pot, or fillable pod would be helpful. There was also no parking pass as stated in the materials and check-in email. We had to pay for parking. The accommodations were wonderful and we would absolutely come back.
