About the host

Hosted by Linda Gibson

Host profile image
Our primary residence is in North Idaho, and we have owned and operated a lawn maintenance and landscaping company since 1997. We purchased the house in Libby as a future "retirement home", but that is still some years away, so until then we wanted to share the house with guests and hope they love it as much as we do. We chose Libby because it is David's home town and we both love the area. In addition to David being a Libby High School graduate, we were married in Libby nearly 31 years ago, so we have deep ties to the community and could think of no better place to eventually retire. We have really enjoyed remodeling the house and showcasing the rich local history for all our guest to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Because this is my hometown, I was married here almost 31 years ago, and I wanted to invest in the community while showcasing the local mining and logging history.

What makes this property unique

Selfie station featuring three of the original builders of the Libby Dam (located 10 miles upstream), and unique historical photos of the area.
