Summer Season:
The water level will typically be up sometime between Memorial Day and mid to late June depending upon expected snow melt run-off. We offer a 30 foot dock which has a remote controlled, covered boat lift, as well as room for two other boats on boat whips, and two jet ski lifts. When the water level rises it is only a 1-2 foot jump from the dock into the water where kids and adults love to swim and paddle board. Approximately 3-3.5 feet deep at the most shallow portion of dock and 15 feet deep at end of dock. Great water ski area, especially if you are willing to wake up early or go on a weekday! If you'd rather not jump into the water you can walk a few minutes down to Riley Creek Campground where there is a beach area, playground, and large grassy area to play in.
Sandpoint, ID is just a 15 minute drive away, or 10 miles by boat. There are a ton of local shops, breweries and wineries, and a beach area where you can rent water equipment.
Fall Season:
The trees turn color in the fall and this is a great time to keep a lookout for hawks, eagles, and other birds along the river. This is one of our favorite times of the year to enjoy the cooler weather, pick apples from the trees in the backyard, and utilize the gas fireplace in the evening. There is an outside fire pit and hottub for use, and it's a wonderful time to go on a hike in Sandpoint. We love sitting by the fire and watching the Seahawks or playing board games and watching movies!
Winter Season:
Enjoy the gas fireplace after a good day of skiing, snowboarding, or tubing at Schweitzer Mountain, or go snowshoeing or cross country skiing in the untouched snow at Riley Creek Campground right down the road. Property is 20 minutes from base of Schweitzer Mountain and a 2-car garage is available so you can park inside. My kids love coming to the cabin before they go to Schweitzer, followed by the hot tub when they return home for the evening. There is plenty of room, as well as snow, to build some snowmen or have a great snowball fight!
Spring Season:
Spring is a great season to visit because of the quietness in the area. If you are looking for a place to get away and soak up some family time this is the perfect place. Make some coffee in the morning, go on a hike, play games, hottub, and watch the wildlife.
