This large log home sits on 2+ acres of private, picturesque land with waterfront on Kootenai Bay of Lake Pend Oreille.  Picture a large, green massive yard with mature fir and pine trees.  Gorgeous wood floors, plenty of natural light, and an updated kitchen that's fully appointed.  An 'L' shaped living/dining and kitchen area, with custom dining table, provide sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille and a wrap around exterior deck and trees provide shade and privacy.  Master suite with King bed, has a separate sitting area with couch and Queen sleeper.  Across the hall is another King bedroom all with luxury linens.  A main floor full bathroom and large laundry room complete the main floor. The lower level has a separate family room with huge 70" TV, bar, foosball table, access to the large, covered hot tub and two additional bedrooms with a full bathroom.  The 3rd bedroom has a Queen bed with luxury linens and the 4th bedroom is ideal for those kids, cousins, grandkids and young adults with FOUR full sized beds (2 bunk beds, full size) - each with it's own reading light and phone/computer charging area. Outside relax in the Adirondack rocking chairs, wood table and deck with waterfront views.  Watch eagles and ospreys soar by, plucking a fish out of Boyer Slough and Kootenai Bay.  Saunter down the short path to the waterfront where you'll discover a true Teepee (available during summer months only - kids will love this and can sleep in the Queen bed inside).  At the water's edge enjoy an incredible Cabana (with dart board, table and chairs, refrigerator -- see photos -- and yes it has Edison bulb lights wrapped all around for night time use).  Make s'mores around the massive firepit and kids will love the new sandy beach.  For summer months, 2 large stand up paddle boards (SUPs), 1 small stand up paddle board and 2 kayaks all included at no extra charge.  A private dock with large boat lift allows you to safely moor your own boat - or rent ours! What we LOVE about this home is the land and family-fun-opportunities all around it.  Kootenai Bay is ideal for fishing, water sports and paddling/exploring. The location of this home is excellent!  Just 3 miles to downtown Sandpoint, 1 mile from great grocery stores and 12 miles to Schweitzer.  Sleeping 14 easily - rent this home now!   Book now. \*\*Note:  Each year, on September 18th OR the 3rd Sunday in September (whichever is later), the Army Corps of Engineers begins dropping the water level of Lake Pend Oreille until ultimately reducing it by a total of 10-12 feet.  Around the 4th week in September ALL boat docks and boat lifts on the lake become inaccessible and unusable, as the water completely recedes back from the shoreline leaving just bare ground beneath the docks.  The agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers states the lake level must be restored to full pool level each year no later than July 4th, however, the last 10+ years the lake water has been at full pool level around the 2nd or 3rd week in June.
