About this property

Mountain Cabin near Lake Pend Oreille, Schweitzer Resort, Sandpoint, Wilderness

This is the perfect getaway cabin any season of the year! The cabin backs up to the Kaniksu National Forest and many miles of dirt roads and trails for hunting, hiking, 4-wheeling, motorcycles, side by sides, horseback riding, bike riding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling with a warming hut up the road. Access right from the cabin to many trailheads like Goat Mtn, Scotchman's Peak, Morris Creek and several lakes. Lake Pend Oreille is only 7 miles from doorstep to boat launch. Schweitzer Mtn is a 45 minute drive, the town of Sandpoint about 40 minutes. Very close to Cabinet Mountain Wilderness. Property is on Lightning Creek and the town of Clark Fork is just 3 miles down the road.

Hiking Getaway Cabin

This property was perfect for our girls hiking getaway. It was very clean and comfortable. It was also close to the Scotchman's Peak trail. We enjoyed time in the creek after the hike and sitting on the front porch visiting.

Wonderful stay

This cabin is located just outside of town but feels remote. It is clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The views are amazing and the hosts really have thought of everything. The cabin is on the host’s property, as clearly noted, but you would never know it. It has its own driveway and is a good distance from the main house. We cannot wait to stay here again!

Amazing Cabin!

The cabin is even more beautiful in person than it looked in the listing. It’s in an amazing location with a stunning view of the river from the fire pit. Check-in and check-out were both super simple. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Although the cabin is on the owners’ property, it’s set far enough away that it still feels private and peaceful. And Tuck the dog was the cherry on top ,always excited to see us and made the trip even more enjoyable. 100/10 experience,would absolutely come back!

Came for a winter get away.

Really enjoyed. Private bedroom for my wife and I. Loft bedroom w two twins for my daughter and friend. Camp bonfire in winter at the fire circle a highlight., we invited hosts and really enjoyed meeting and conversing. Off the beaten path and worth it …. Bordering the National Forest.
