5 Star! This property is beautiful. The fact you can walk everywhere is a bonus and they have everything and I mean everything you'll need for a fun relaxing Lake vacation. I have looked at this property for a long time and finally was able to book it. Paula is the perfect host. Bedding is very important to me when I stay places and Paula has provided top quality linens.

This house was so adorable! Plenty of room for a large family. This house was clean and had everything you could possibly need. Sitting on the back patio in the morning drinking coffee was heavenly. The kids even picked some fresh strawberries and blueberries from the plants that were growing along the backside of the house. Would definitely stay here again!

Sandpoint Charm

What a wonderful time! We needed nothing during our stay in this home. The house is clean and comfortable with all of the necessities and more. We enjoyed lounging around inside and out. It’s a quick easy walk or bike ride to town. My kids enjoyed exploring on their own, fishing in Sand Creek and eating at all the great places. I hope we can return one day!

Family gathering

There were 6 of us family staying in the house together attending a celebration of life. We had some other family members join us for a dinner and there was plenty of room in the living room to hang out together and the dining table was large enough for us to dine together. The kitchen was extremely well outfitted with quality cookware and appliances. ( I love to cook, so that is important). We could walk everywhere.

Great location and well equipped house

This house met our needs well. Two families with 3 teenagers. Both sets of parents had their own rooms, kids had upstairs to themselves. Upstairs is a bit funky--no real bedroom; but a curtained off area with 2 twins, and then more open space with queen and two day beds, and full bathroom. Our only complaint is the HVAC is quite noisy. We couldn't really figure out how to alter the heat system, it seemed locked into its program. The fan for the system went on at 5am, even though "wake" was at 6am. Otherwise, we were very happy with the layout of the house, space, kitchen was amazingly well appointed. quiet neighborhood and close to town, easy to access Schweitzer too (though skiing was not great due to low snow). FYI: Make SURE you park across the street during the winter. The side of the street the house is on does NOT allow parking in the winter, due to snowplow action. We learned this with a warning from the Sandpoint PD. This information is NOT easily visible unless you see it on a stop sign. In the dark it is not visible at all.

Dreamy skiing at Schweitzer

We loved our accommodations, it was a perfect location for quick access to beautiful downtown Sandpoint! We stayed three nights and spent the days skiing Schweitzer, it was wonderful to come down the mountain to a cozy house where the family could spread out! Our pup enjoyed his stay too, with a wonderful backyard and a close walk to the lake and jogging distance to the rails to trails network! We’ll definitely be back!

We came to Sandpoint for my daughter's wedding and were all so pleased with the cottage, which was an excellent place to rest between all the activities. We loved that it was walking distance to shops, restaurants, and Sandpoint City Beach! The kids loved the tree swing and played many games of Trouble! Communication was prompt and easy, the check-in/out was hassle-free, and the home was clean and stocked with everyday basics one needs when they're away from home! I highly recommend this lovely cottage and hope to get the chance to stay there again in the future!

Cute and comfortable Lake St. Cottage!

This property was so cute and comfortable with everything that is needed! We only wish we could have stayed longer! It was a great place for us to stay with our 3 adult children but would be good for young families too. Paula was very responsive to our needs and questions. Thank you!
