Location: Sandpoint, Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, USA (Lakefront Sagle, Right Across the River from Sandpoint)
Accommodations: Guest House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
We call it the "Little Bear Lair." It is a separate, free-standing home on our one acre lakefront property. We've hosted honeymooners who delight in the quiet location, dining on the covered deck over Lake Pend Oreille or just sitting by the fish pond.
Families love us too! Bring your boat, jet ski or kayak and tie up on your large private dock. The dock is also great spot for fishing, sunbathing or to jump in for a swim. We are 2.5 miles from downtown Sandpoint: That's a 5" drive, 10" by boat, 20" by bike or 40" on foot over a safe pedestrian/bike bridge.
This is a separate house (not in a condo complex or in a group of cabins with a noise or foot traffic). The home features a totally private bedroom and a spacious sleeping loft, and a living room/dining room/kitchen with a comfortable queen futon. The loft is an especially popular spot for young ones and teens.
Everything, kitchen, bath is modern and clean (2005).
Private deck seating area over Lake Pend Oreille for dining, cocktails, relaxing.
Plenty of off street parking for vehicles and boat trailers.
Large DVD library, two DVD players. Wi-Fi usually available but not guaranteed.
Small pets allowed with separate fee.
Two bikes, boy & girl, available for free use.
Half hour drive south to Silverwood Amusement and Water Park or north to top of Schweitzer Mountain. The city of Couer d'Alene is 45" away. Spokane an 80" drive.
Hosts: Fred and Brenda live onsite in a separate building and are always available for your needs.
Tip: If you don't know the Lake Pend Oreille area well, you would be advised to stick with Sandpoint or Sagle if you're looking for a waterfront experiences. Listings for other areas, e.g. Hope, Dover, Bottle Bay, Comeback Bay, etc., are typically 30" (or more)away from the Sandpoint shopping, restaurants, parks, marina and public beach.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
We, Fred and Brenda Daily, divide our time between St Pete Beach, Florida and Idaho--living half the year on the beach and half on the lake. We think it is the best of both worlds. We spent many years working in San Francisco and Lake Tahoe before we discovered the Sandpoint area in 2003. We fell in love with this property, and bought it on our first day here! No regrets!! You're invited to share this special place with us.
Why the Owner Chose Sandpoint
One look at the property and the lake will tell you why we bought this property!
