We loved it! Our service was outstanding and it was such a wonderful place to have our dogs. The home is beautiful, peaceful and the outdoors was so lovely. Susan and Tom really went beyond our expectations. The attention to detail for everything was phenomenal. Would absolutely come there again.

From the moment we booked, the communication was wonderful. Susan greeted us personally and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The cottage was absolutely immaculate, well cared for, and truly felt like home. Susan's hospitality and attention to detail went above and beyond. She genuinely wants her guest to enjoy their stay, and it shows in every little touch. If this is your first VRBO experience be warned- Susan may spoil you for every stay after this. She definitely set the bar high! We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway and are already looking foward to returning!

Just spent a week at Rathdrum Mountain Guest House and it was - by far - the best stay we’ve ever had at a short term rental. Susan was fantastic to work with and we were blown away by the treats she left us at checkin to how cute the property was. We have a cocker spaniel and the amenities for our pup were amazing as well. He even had his own guest cottage, bed and yard. Five tail wags from him too. The house is extremely cute, old school but very functional. Every amenity one could think of. Nice hiking path on their 26 acre property with a great view of the valley on top. We used to live in Kootenai County and this trip was mainly for catching up with old friends. It was a great place to have a couple over for dinner, relax and reminisce. We will be back! Thank you Susan.

Best place

Such a great place! Susan stocked the place with drinks, a charcuterie board (even made it gluten free for us,) organic dairy in the fridge and soup! The towels were amazing and the kitchen has everything you need. The sauna and trails were a nice bonus. The property is well taken care of and clean. Susan thought of everything. Lovely place and we’ll happily stay here again!

Rathdrum Mountain Guest House

Our stay here was amazing! The hosts were excellent to work with and were very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows, sheets, towels, robes, etc. were of the highest quality. The private sauna and beautiful hiking trails from the house were the cherry on top. I will definitely be staying at the Rathdrum Mountain Guest House again. Thank you!

Lovely! Our stay at RMGH exceeded our expectations in every way. We were greeted by our host who gave us a thorough walk-through of the property and left us with a lovely charcuterie welcome spread. The kitchen was fully stocked and filled with everything to cook gourmet meals. We planned to eat dinners in because we brought our two dogs who were treated to toys and a large puppy palace in the yard. The property is very private so having coffee in our spa robes on the porch was a treat. I cannot recommend RMGH enough and will happily return on our next trip to the area.

Truly beautiful

Host was amazing! Met us at the house and gave us a tour and left us with a charcuterie tray of delicious snacks. From there it was a stay filled with nature in a beautiful home. The wild turkeys that stopped by along with the curious Alpacas next door made this trip peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. We were just outside the town so restaurants and necessities were just right there. So glad we chose this place!

5-Star and Pet Friendly

We have staying in quite a few VRBO's, but none like this! CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!! Our host is amazing and truly believes in pampering her guests. She even has a stocked fridge and pantry, and birthday wishes for me. I have never enjoyed beautiful antiques like this one. Her towels and linens are of the best quality. They even have a huge dog house with a cot and a dog run. Highly recommend this wonderful guest house!!

Perfect charming quaint cottage

The host thought of everything you could possibly need or want for a weekend getaway. It was perfect for us to meet our family who live in Rathdrum. They walked in the cozy cabin and said “wow”! Susan welcomed us with a delicious cheese board and beverages. Her passion for her guest to be comfortable shows in every detail in every room. Perfecto! Irene and Mark

Beyond Expectations!

This place was wonderful and relaxing. We always choose vacation rentals over hotels because we are more comfortable having room to stretch out. But this place offered so much more. It was close to restaurants but there was no need to go out with the ammenities provided. No detail was left out. We even got to Experience them shearing the alpacas during our stay which was fitting because we were in the area to attend modern homesteading conference.

The online property description & pictures were accurate. It really is as good as it looks. We were comfortable from the moment we arrived. It hit 100 degrees that day and Susan had the A/C on for us already. That thoughtful touch is emblematic of how Susan runs her VRBO. Everything exceeded expectations from the stocked frig, toiletries, and pet supplies. What isn't mentioned enough is the property itself and the hiking trails. If you stay, don't miss them. They give a great workout and the view from the top is worth it. Thank you Susan & Tom for making this one of our very best vacations.

Our stay was filled with enjoying the hot Finnish sauna and marvelling at the record collection. A wonderful stay and we definitely enjoyed making new turkey friends. Furthermore, Susan and Tom have thought of everything that anyone staying there could possibly need. From delicious German beer all the way to reading glasses that my 26 year old self definitely didnt need. THANK YOU!! see you next time! 😘

Secluded Luxury

This is a great place to stay! We felt very special and pampered during our visit. The hosts have included a lot of unique touches to help guests feel comfortable and relaxed. A lit fire in the stove, fresh flowers, luxury bath products, luxury linens and towels! They provide a pantry with items to cook, spices, appliances, and a fridge stocked with a few of the important basics, like milk, eggs, beer and wine! The outdoor Sauna was wonderful, private and very relaxing, with the creek gurgling nearby. The house is warm and cozy, perfect for a winter get away! Tom and Susan are attentive, friendly and worked hard to make our stay very enjoyable. Thank you!

Amazing! We've stayed a fancier places, but they don't compare to the complete package this cottage has to offer. This place is begging you to stay, relax, and truly enjoy the comforts of the cottage and the outdoor amenities. I wish we could have stayed longer to truly enjoy it. Susan lives nearby so she was able to greet us, give us a tour of what the cottage offers, and bless us with a delicious charcuterie board. The pantry and fridge were also stocked for our enjoyment- eggs, milk, mini ice creams, fruit, etc. The kitchen may be smaller, but it is the best stocked kitchen I've seen when it comes to cooking and baking. Pop a record onto the record player and listen to some great music while you cook, or choose to sit and relax while enjoying the beautifully decorated cottage and surrounding outdoors. Outside in the backyard you will find a hammock that makes a great place to enjoy a good book. You will also find several trails to explore right out the backdoor.This is a place we will definitely come back to and enjoy in the future.
