Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
T.J. Hooper and B (Birgett), owners of the Rockin T Bar ranch. I moved to Sandpoint from Grass Valley, CA to continue raising my percheron draft horses and cattle. I met my wife, who was raised in North Idaho, and works as a hairdresser. We now work our ranch together with our three kids, Sarah, Isaac, and CC. I moved here to raise, train, and breed horses, but I now know that the best crop grown here is kids.
Why the Owner Chose Sandpoint
We bought our vacation rental because it was the second half of our ranch, and when it came up for sale by the original owner we bought the first half. We did not want the second half of the ranch to be split up. We have 120 acres with a mile of creek frontage and four year round ponds. There is also 12 acres of untouched wetlands, making this ranch one of the most beautiful properties in the Selle Valley.
The Unique Benefits of this House
While visiting our cozy country home, you can enjoy feeding the farm animals, collecting your own farm fresh eggs for breakfast, or just enjoying the stunning mountain views. In the spring and summer you can walk just a few hundred yards and fish, go rafting, or kayaking, on Grouse Creek. In the winter you can cross-country ski, snowshoe, and sled right outside your front door. Bring your own horse and ride or hike on miles of trails.

A "10"
Guest: Grandpa & Grandma(Spokane, WA)
Date of Stay: 07/18/10 Review Submitted: 07/21/10
Our yearly outing with the grandkids was enjoyed in the beautiful Selle Valley, 9 miles north of Sandpoint, ID, at the Hooper family's Rocking T Ranch rental. TJ, "B" and their children made our stay fun and memorable sharing the best fishing and swimming spots on their expansive and awe-inspiring property. The grandkids loved the close proximity of the animals (horses, sheep, chickens, goats). It was a treat to feed them, watch them and hear them as they are all "city" kids. The younger two spent a lot of time in the fenced playground right next to the house. As a family, we enjoyed time around the firepit in the evenings roasting marshmallows and playing games. The gas bar-b-q was a great way to prepare meals outside; eating at the umbrella-covered picnic tables. The house accomodated us very well. The kitchen & bathroom are very generously stocked with everything you may have forgotten to bring. The water is spring-fed ( forget bringing bottled water) you won't find any better. The furnishings are very comfortable including the beds. The children found games and toys to entertain them before and after our excursions outside. If by chance there is something you do need, your requests will be met quickly and very adequately. You won't be taking a chance by renting this property.
Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, pet owners, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.
