Hi, my name is Steve. I am a travel photographer amongst other things, and I have to say that the views from my house in Garfield Bay are among the most amazing views I have photographed anywhere on my world travels. That is why I moved here from England.

Beautiful View

Great view of the bay and lake. Relaxing and quiet. Sunsets are beautiful over the mountains. The boat launch (FREE) is only 2 minutes away and the lake is awesome and huge. We took a week to explore it all. There is a cute restaurant/bar and little store across from the boat launch which came in handy. The house is roomy and comfortable. There was a ton of room for the 4 of us. Again the view from the whole house and deck - which is the length of the house is absolutely beautiful. Great value!

We recently enjoyed 7 days @ Garfield Bay. We appreciated being more secluded, but also having a 'home' to come back to each day. Being able to make our own meals and do our laundry was fantastic. The huge master bedroom and bathroom was a nice treat. We saw wildlife everyday of our stay including many deer sightings. The neighbours were also lovely. Nearby Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach water park were amazing. Boulder Beach at Silverwood is a 'must do' attraction if you enjoy the water - we had a great experience there. Garfield Bay itself is very quaint and provided great lake swimming. We rented a sea-doo at Bottle Bay, a 10 minute drive away. Doggie owners - there is no fenced area so keep leashes ready if your dogs are not trained off leash. It was so nice not to worry about the neighbours with our barking dogs! The property was clean, although the house is showing it's age/character. I would recommend this property to others for many of the features it provides. We als enjoyed the BBQ and the large layout of the house.

We loved Steve's place. The place had an awesome view and everyday was paradise. Deer visited in the morning and evenings. We enjoyed Garfield Bay and the local establishment, as well as the beach and easy access to both Sandpoint and Coeur dlane. Steve's place was large and well stocked with items that we could use and replace which was nice. The bedroom and bathrooms were ample for our needs. Thanks Steve, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to consider it for next year.
