The property is very well-maintained and in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay and the abundant wildlife on view from the deck. The rooms were spacious, plenty of parking with an option to park in the garage. The dock is nice but check water quality before you splash as this part of the lake had an algae bloom at the time (no reflection on the host of course). Nice kitchen and a place for everyone to gather for meals. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Thank you for staying at Wildcat and for the thoughtful review. I’m glad the setting, abundant wildlife, spacious rooms, parking options, dock, and kitchen met your needs. I appreciate the note about the algae bloom — we try to monitor lake conditions and share updates with upcoming guests so they can plan water activities. We’d be happy to host you again.

The house was great for what we needed. It fits a lot of people comfortably. The bummer was the north part of the lake had poor water quality, so we had to boat to the other end of the lake for swimming.

Thank you for taking the time to review Wildcat. I’m glad the house suited your group and provided plenty of comfortable space. I’m sorry the north end water quality was poor and that you had to boat for swimming. Lake conditions can change with weather and seasonal runoff; I will share your feedback with the owners and local contacts so we can update guest notes about the best swimming areas. We appreciate the note and hope to welcome you back.

This place was beautiful, the checkin process swas easy and the house had everything we needed. The location was easy to find and we had no issues staying there.

This house is every bit as beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable as the photos suggest, with an amazing view. It served as a good home base for our family while visiting Silverwood, which is a short drive away. We appreciated the ample parking, extra bedding, abundant towels, comfortable beds, and choice of feather or foam pillows. The extra convection oven was great, and having two sitting areas—one with a TV and one without—worked perfectly for our group.A couple of things did put a damper on the experience. The house contains a substantial collection of strongly partisan and socially prescriptive books, including "How to Talk to a Liberal If You Have To", "Liberalism Is a Mental Disease", and many socially prescriptive Laura Schlessinger books. We were surprised to encounter this in such an otherwise well prepared vacation rental, and it made us feel unexpectedly very unwelcome. Management explained the home was purchased furnished, they hadn't inventoried the books, & they will now pay more attention to this.Also, prospective Jul/Aug renters should know that this part of Hayden Lake has had recurring harmful algae blooms with advisories not to swim. We were disappointed to discover this last minute, since we had assumed the lake would be part of the summer experience. We think this is worth disclosing when booking a lakefront property.Finally, one member of our group who is very sensitive to mold had their allergy activated during the stay.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. I’m glad Wildcat lived up to the photos and served well as a home base for your family — I appreciate the compliments about the view, cleanliness, bedding, towels, pillow choices, extra convection oven, parking, and the two sitting areas. I’m sorry the collection of partisan books made you feel unwelcome. The home was purchased furnished and we hadn’t fully inventoried the book collection; we will remove or relocate those titles and be more thorough with our inventories going forward. Thank you for flagging the algae blooms at Hayden Lake. We will add a seasonal note to the listing to make prospective July/August renters aware of possible advisories so they can plan accordingly. I’m also sorry a member of your group experienced allergy symptoms. We take that seriously and will arrange a professional mold inspection. Thanks again for staying at Wildcat and for the helpful feedback.

This home is in a wonderful gated community with lake access. The pictures are an accurate representation. We especially enjoyed the downstairs family room as the sofa in front of the fireplace was comfortable and large. Having a king bed in 3 of the 4 bedrooms was fantastic and an unusual arrangement for a rental. There is access to the lake, a large balcony and a hot tub, but due to the weather (rain and snow) we did not get to enjoy these features. I would advise anyone staying there during the winter that the driveway is rather steep and if it becomes icy and snowy it's difficult to get up to the main road. I would deffinitely rent this property again.

Thank you for the great review. We're glad the home and listing met your expectations — the gated community, lake access, and accurate photos — and that the downstairs family room and the three king beds worked well for your group. Sorry the weather kept you from using the balcony, lake access, and hot tub. We appreciate the note about the steep driveway in winter; that will be helpful for future guests. We look forward to hosting you again.
