The property was beautiful inside and out, and on the waters. Everyone enjoyed the stay very much, enough room for all of us. The kitchen was awesome with lots of pots and pan to cook. The only thing was, the deck and the patio furniture could have been cleaner.

We enjoyed our stay the home was nice and well furnished. The things that could be better is the pots and pans. They’re were terrible and half the lights didn’t work. Lots of switches that didn’t do anything. Could use an electrician to go through tue house and make sure all the lights worked. It’s a dark house so that’d help.

Quiet and just far enough away.
Nice place, beautiful sunrises off the lake. Hot tub was great to have. Wish we had hot water in the home for our showers though. When we mentioned no hot water I received a text that said you can leave and we won’t charge for the unused nights. How about another offer like “we’ve refunded a portion due to no hot water in the home” Besides that it would have been perfect.

Disappointing
Nice log cabin, clean beds/bathrooms, great view, but so many things in disrepair for the price point, it was a disappointment. Most of the kitchen utisels were broken or rusted (like the inside of the tea kettles). Landscaping was neglected, overrun with weeds. Pier seemed safe but had screws popping up in the center and the wood was uneven and rough (no bare feet or you'll regret it). Jacuzzi top had a broken cover hatch and the filter area was black in areas and rusted. Light bulbs burnt out, microwave screen didn't work (you had to guess the time it was cooking), most of the screen door to the back yard was ripped out in the bottom and wouldn't stay on the track. Lots of maintenance and repair issues that detracted from the experience.

Very serviceable.
This was a great place for our group of 8 to stay while on a ski trip to Schweitzer Mountain. The property overall seemed like it has been a little neglected on the maintenance end of things. Some lights didn't work, heating needed to be supplimented with space heaters, etc. However, everything worked that we needed, and the hot tub was toasty warm all week. We did all of our own cooking, and the kitchen was well supplied for that, including lots of spices. The dishwasher did NOT get dishes clean, we gave up trying to use it and just washed everything by hand. We found lots of dirty dishes in the cupboards that may have been put there by past guests, but over all, the rest of the house was very clean. There was plenty of lounging furniture for all of us, and the wood fireplace had a gas assist, which was so nice for getting a fire started quickly. Really my only complaint was communication with the property manager, which was nonexistent. The only option was email to which they did not respond to for over a week after it was too late, and then didn't know the answer to my questions on how the kitchen was stocked . But I would book again.

Beautiful lake log home with a great view
The overall experience is excellent and our family enjoyed 6 nights there!! House is gorgeous and kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipments etc. The view of f the snow mountain is incredible. I do wish the owner fixed some maintenance issues: The dishwasher is not attached to the counter and back wheels are missing. It is very hard to load the dishes. One other maintenance issue is the bathroom floor by the shower in the first floor. The floor is severely damaged over a period of time, the subflooring should be replaced!!! But overall , it is an amazing house!!! Thank you

Why try?
Our group had some running jokes about the property. One was the lack of bath soap. Then, toilet paper ran out. Considering how much this rental costs, you would expect some basics like a book to explain how everything works (TV, boat lift, lights that don't turn on, missing light bulbs, etc.). Instead, it was a single page tacked to the wall telling us what not to do!!! Plus some sticky notes on a couple of pieces of furniture warning not to sit on the arms. The decorations were another source of humor, a mish mash of cowboy references (in Idaho?), personal items and collectibles (Bonanza TV show, a dime store Indian!, stuffed animals). There was a lot of mold in the shower downstairs, as if someone isn't even trying to clean the place. Overall, a great property if the details were taken care of. But they aren't.

Great but not great!
The house was fine. It was priced a little high. Cleanliness was okay overall but there were areas in the kitchen that should have been cleaner. The sheets left us wondering if they were clean or not. The code to the lockbox was wrong and we had to wait to get a new code and get in. The listing says Cable TV & Wi-Fi but when you arrive you find a note saying,” don’t expect to stream Netflix or play video games because you will run out of data”. Had I known that I would not have rented. The internet was as fast as dialup and extremely difficult to use because it was so slow. The hot tub water was murky and very difficult to get in/out of without bringing dirt and leaves into it. Bring flipflops to wear out to the hot tub. If you want to use the fireplace you have to buy or bring your own wood as that is not supplied. The woodwork is incredible, and the house has good vibes. It is a great location and incredible spot on the lake!

Great stay in Sandpoint
Very fun stay in Sandpoint. House is big and was perfect for 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Plenty of room. Hot tub is so nice with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. We went skiing at Schweitzer and drive was easy. Very easy access to downtown Sandpoint as well. Extra space heaters were great to warm up bedrooms during the freezing cold February weather. We had one issue which was due to freezing weather and the management was fantastic in helping us and responding. Overall very fun stay in a cozy cabin.

Needs maintenance and cleaning
The house was in a good location but it needed a serious deep cleaning and better up keep and maintenance...alot of mouse droppings on blankets in drawers...mouse trap in the kitchen and garage, garage also had mouse poop around the traps. A lot of light bulbs were out making the house really dark in the evening..the white sheets had a lot of female hair in the bed making me worried they did not clean them...the hot tub smelled of mildew so bad we had to have someone drop off cleaning tablets bc the house did not come with any. I found a couple tiny bugs on us while we were leaving and now i am stressed out they Had bed bugs because of how dirty it was...with how much I paid for this house for 3 nights I am really disappointed with the lack of cleanliness and maintenancenot done...i am even more irritated after reading reviews from September they said the same things and nothing was fixed...

Great place-could use better maintenances
Hi-we had a great trip and there are a few things we want you to know. 2 wine glasses in the dishwasher were cracked when we arrived It would be helpful to let people know the correct lockbox is on a pillar opposite the front door. The hot tub was green and smelled mildewy. We are hot tub owners and found shock chemicals and used those. It would be helpful to have instructions for how the owners would like the tub cared for, particularly when it is out of balance. There appear to be snakes living under the hot tub. The boat lift has a piece that is bent and loose and it was that way when we arrived. More instructions on how they’d like the lift used would also be helpful. There are quite a few mice. One was in a trap when we arrived but there was also mouse poop on the kitchen counters every morning and also in boxes of food we put in the pantry, along with holes where they had gotten into food. While we did our best to put all food away, they still seemed to find a way in. Again, it would have saved us throwing out food if we had known it needed to be stored in closed hard plastic containers.

Beautiful location, disappointing quality
The location of this property was perfect! There were beautiful views from both the house and the dock and the architecture of the cabin was really neat. My family rented it for July 4th weekend and although the views were great, the quality of the rental was disappointing. We were given the wrong lockbox code so be sure to verify it is correct with Vacasa before arriving. The grounds were overgrown and unkept which made the rental look abandoned. Inside the cabin, the thermostats did not seem to work so we resorted to the space heaters in each room which was fine for summer however it would have been a problem in the winter months. The overall condition of the cabin was subpar. There were cobwebs everywhere, the kitchen utensils and plates were dirty, the appliances were dirty inside and the dishwasher is not bolted to the wall so when you go to open it, you pull the entire appliance out from under the countertop. The beds were old and had indentations in the mattress where people had slept before and the towels were clean however they had stains on them from previous uses. Lastly, the wifi was not strong enough to support the 8 iPhones that were trying to connect with it. Overall, we had a good weekend, however we would not choose this rental again unless the quality was updated.

The outside area like deck and front porch needs to be cleaned.
The yellow jackets/hornets are swarming all around the back porch and dangerously over the hot tub - making it uncomfortable to impossible to use any of those areas. One nearly stung my grandson and I had to rush to rescue him. We would not have rented this had we known about this issue !!
