In the winter moose have been seen walking down the sidewalk in front of the house and 'pruning' the shrubs in the backyard!

Sandpoint Charm
What a wonderful time! We needed nothing during our stay in this home. The house is clean and comfortable with all of the necessities and more. We enjoyed lounging around inside and out. It’s a quick easy walk or bike ride to town. My kids enjoyed exploring on their own, fishing in Sand Creek and eating at all the great places. I hope we can return one day!

Family Ski Weekend
Oh so cute!! We loved the home! Clean and cozy! Very well laid out! Held the group of us so perfectly. Kitchen is very well stocked! Plenty of dishes for the whole day before having to run the dishwasher! Good quality of pots and pans! Great dining table, space for 10-12 for dinner and games afterwards!

Great location and well equipped house
This house met our needs well. Two families with 3 teenagers. Both sets of parents had their own rooms, kids had upstairs to themselves. Upstairs is a bit funky--no real bedroom; but a curtained off area with 2 twins, and then more open space with queen and two day beds, and full bathroom. Our only complaint is the HVAC is quite noisy. We couldn't really figure out how to alter the heat system, it seemed locked into its program. The fan for the system went on at 5am, even though "wake" was at 6am. Otherwise, we were very happy with the layout of the house, space, kitchen was amazingly well appointed. quiet neighborhood and close to town, easy to access Schweitzer too (though skiing was not great due to low snow). FYI: Make SURE you park across the street during the winter. The side of the street the house is on does NOT allow parking in the winter, due to snowplow action. We learned this with a warning from the Sandpoint PD. This information is NOT easily visible unless you see it on a stop sign. In the dark it is not visible at all.

This property was so cute and comfortable with everything that is needed! We only wish we could have stayed longer! It was a great place for us to stay with our 3 adult children but would be good for young families too. Paula was very responsive to our needs and questions. Thank you!

Exceeded Expectations
Was completely accurate to the impression we got from the listing…but what wasn’t shown, although greatly appreciated was how well the home was eqipped for everyday living. Hair dryers, laundry products, great kitchen gear…even spices and soaps. You could literally just walk in and live. Was more than enough space to be comfortable and have fun. Great layout for big groups of adults and kids or whatever. Landlord was super sweet and helpful. Everyone in our group had an amazing experience.

Great location and nicely appointed.
We did a father/son ski trip and the house worked out great. Sandpoint homes are older and smaller, and the layouts are a bit quirky, but the house was great for our needs. The lots in Sandpoint are small too (old RR town). There are 2 main bedrooms downstairs, and the upstairs queen, and the twins/daybeds are all in one big attic room. 2 families could easily fit with the kids upstairs. We had 3 dads, an uncle, and 3 boys (3, 12, 15) and were comfortable. The host was responsive.

Fantastic family vacation home
Spacious. Homey. So many thoughtful touches. Loved the bikes. AC kept the house very comfortable during a week-long heatwave. Lots of dishes so we could have others join our group of 6 for meals. Comfortable beds and pretty main floor bedrooms, but not much privacy on the second floor, which is basically open plan. Front porch is SO cute and a great place to sit, rock and read or chat. Loved that the backyard was fenced for our dog but the daily sprinklers made it kind of muddy. The ancient, enormous willow tree is absolutely beautiful and provides lovely shade. The landscaping in back needs work, but that would just be icing on an already beautiful cake.

Quick visit with adult kids
This was a great spot - easy to find, comfortable and well appointed, and close to everything in Sandpoint. We couldnt get in at first, but we were able to easily contact the owner and get the code updated (the power had been off). My daughter was interviewing up at Schweitzer and my son and I played disc golf at a local course which was cool, even though it was pouring rain! We had a great coffee at a nearby roaster and a nice dinner at Baxters. This house was an easy walk to the lake and nearby park. I'd stay again if I ever go back to Sandpoint!

Wonderful house close to everything in Sandpoint.
We travelled to Sandpoint for a wedding. The lake house was perfect for the entire family ranging from 5 to folks in their late 70's. The kids loved the swings and the backyard, with rooms upstairs and down we had plenty of space. The overall cottage is lovely and you will enjoy staying there. Paula was an amazing host checking in on us all throughout the stay to ensure we did not need anything.

Best Place!
First, the location was ideal! Within very walkable distance to town (shopping and restaurants).... and beautiful community to just take leisurely walks, which we did. The accommodations were so comfortable, and the cottage was also well-stocked with any needs. Time went by quickly, and wish we had booked it for more days. Paula was very prompt and helpful with any questions we had. Thank you, Paula for opening this lovely cottage as a rental. We will be back :} We loved it!

About the host

Host profile image
I have always loved entertaining guests and it is my joy to share my home in Sandpoint.

Why they chose this property

When I first visited Sandpoint in 2005 I was instantly captivated by its sophisticated simplicity. It is a step back in time to a simpler America but has all of the modern amenities travelers love….GREAT restaurants, hip wine bars and brew pubs, a thriving art community, live entertainment and lots of outdoor activities in the midst of beautiful scenery… a winning combination for a relaxing and exciting vacation experience.

What makes this property unique

I have ALWAYS wanted to live in a vintage cottage and this sweet cottage makes my heart sing! I love that it is so conveniently located close to town, just one block to a large health food grocery store. When I am there I park the car and bike or walk EVERYWHERE! I love to sit on the front porch with a cool drink and some good friends or BBQ in the backyard with the whole family. My guests love the big kitchen table for family meals and playing games. It’s just the perfect place for a memorable relaxing vacation.
