Host was there to greet us when we arrived and to show us around. She was extremely thoughtful about our birthday and even put up a sign and got us dessert. The views were spectacular, the beds were comfy, the place was immaculately clean and the bird sounds (even a nighthawk!!!) and seeing wild turkeys was wonderful. I would also recommend not turning the additional space into a hunting lodge, as our wildlife are already in peril.

Off the beaten path and beautiful

We were only around for a quick overnight stop on our way from Spokane to Glacier, but this was a pleasant stop that we would totally do again when we have more time. The hosts thought of so many little details to make us feel welcome in this beautiful, off-grid property. Comfortable beds and cozy surroundings in this quaint spot made for a nice stopover.

Peaceful and beautiful stay

The place has every amenity you could think of. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into the place. Everything very clean. Beds comfortable we all slept very well. Fans and AC are great for sleeping too :) loved drinking coffee on the swing on the front balcony. The views are breathtaking. It’s a few miles up a dirt/gravel road off the 95 but I thought it was well worth the drive.

Feel pampered in this country home

Lovely home with all the amenities you could want. Beautifully thought out decor, spotless, comfy beds, and a stunning view off the balcony. The home owners were so welcoming and responsive! It really is off the main road. We arrived after dark, but the directions provided by home owners and signage in place made it very easy to find the property in the dark.1 hour away from Kootenai Falls and Suspension Brisge that we highly recommend!

We loved our stay! Great host ,wonderful view, great getaway! The road in can be a challenge this time of year 4x4 or all wheel drive would be a plus! The pin for it is in bonnersferry but it is about 10 miles north witch makes the view all that much better! Jim is a fantastic host! Thanks again for a great place!
