About this property

Work-cation families & wedding parties love staying at my cozy Priest Lake lodge

Experience Priest Lake, Idaho in style at Autumn’s Lodge located in “downtown” Priest Lake. Previously ran as Autumn’s Loft art gallery, you can still purchase Autumn's exquisite scenic photographic metals straight off the walls. Walk a half mile to food, gas, hardware, nail salon, gym, and the award winning Priest Lake Golf Course. Enjoy pulling your snowmobile straight up to the front porch of Autumn's Lodge after accessing over 350 miles of groomed trails. Relax in front of the massive stone fireplace while reading one of the many locally written books about the area. Slip on your snowshoes or cross-country skis to enjoy the groomed trails across the road at the Priest Lake Memory Garden and Priest Lake Golf Course. In the summer, ride your bike 3 miles to Hill’s Resort and treat your family (or yourself) to an iced huckleberry bucket drink while the kid’s jump off the dock! Then walk north, up the beach to the Priest Lake Museum! Autumn's Lodge is full of history books for you to enjoy as well as a special Nell Shipman balcony. Step back in time and learn what and who shaped the lake!

Autumn's Note:
"I don't have just one favorite room... they all are! I hope you enjoy my local photography adorning the walls of the lodge and be inspired to get out into nature and experience our land like I have, growing up huckleberry picking, crick fishing, and hiking!"

The lineup...

MAIN FLOOR (Sleeps 6 Adults & 1/2 Kids on Futon):
Front Bedroom - One Queen Bed (Sleeps 2 Adults) and One Small Futon (Perfect for One Adult or Two Kids!)
Back Bedroom - Two Twin Beds (Sleeps 2 Individual Adults).
Great Room - I'd rather be photographing our local wildlife, but in 2012 we hung an award winning elk and a few years later my dad's elk mount. While transitioning from my art gallery to a lodge feel in 2021, we hung "The Griz"... my dad's super moose hide that looks like a grizzly bear! The Great Room has a smart TV for chilling on Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, etc. The leather couch pulls out to a queen bed (sleeps 2 adults).
Full Kitchen - Small but equipped with EVERYTHING... from coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt & pepper, set of spices, ice maker, refrigerator, toaster, microwave, gas oven & stove top, garbage disposal and dishwasher. Or BBQ with the provided propane on the grill outside.
Bathroom - Pedestal sink & toilet. Mirror, shelf, towel bar, TP holder, all made by dad on his Oscar's Tree Farm! He handmade all the doors in Autumn's Lodge as well!
Washer/Dryer Closet Area
Rustic Dining Nook - Yep my dad made this too!
Office Area - Connect to our very high speed internet and work while on vacation, or stream your favorite movie on multiple devices! Turn on Spotify and chill out to your fave music. The office area has large desk countertops for your laptop and monitors or use the guest computer. Comfortable office chair as well!

UPSTAIRS (Sleeps 4 Adults and 2 Kids):
Master Bedroom - One King Bed, Reading Area, Smart TV, USB Plugin Chargers In Side Tables. My favorite thing about this room... you can watch the shooting stars from bed!
Master Closet - Vanity Desk & Mirror, Infant's Pac & Play
Master Bathroom - Full bathroom with shower & tub, towels, coconut shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap/lotion.
Kids’ Bunk Bedroom - One Twin Bunk Bed and One Little Kid's Log Bunk (For Ages 2-5).
Library - Full of local history books and local authors, as well as the Priest Lake Visitor's Guide, Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce "This Week at the Lake" flyer, Current Year's Fishing Guide, kid's books and toys.
Nell Shipman Balcony - Enjoy learning about our local 1920s heroine, Nell Shipman! Silent screen actress as well as writer, director, producer, and animal activist... enjoy reading my write ups on this adventurous lady!

Outside:
Enjoy my mom's flower garden and dry rock creek. The purple "Louis' Iris" flowers have been passed around in our family for years! Photograph Monarch butterflies on the Coneflowers during summer as they arrive from down south. From the front porch watch Rufous hummingbirds as they come back each May, as well as visiting deer, birds, and the snowshoe hare rabbits that live under the garden shed. They turn white in the winter! Start an outdoor fire in the evening with S'Mores for the kids! Add on to your stay with a private art class for your party, or a mini family photo session! Choose from fused glass garden art/lightcatchers with local artist Randy Haa, watercolors with Gaye Oscarson, ink on tile with Autumn Kennedy, or acrylic on wood.
I hope you love my lodge as much as I have enjoyed putting all the details together for you! I pray you find peace, relaxation, and inspiration while being our guest! -Autumn

Excellent Weekend
Worked great for my friends and family as there was lots of room to park our trucks and trailers for 4 wheeling. The home was very clean, well put together, and owner was very accomodating! Will stay there again. Gary

Creative Details Inside Autumn’s Lodge
The building has hand crafted beams with interesting one of a kind details. Reclaimed barn wood sheeting, an old door hanging up high on a wall, and old metal relics are some of the craft styled details. I enjoyed looking at the building and the fireplace!

Great place to stay
We rented this lodge for our family vacation. It was great that everyone had their own beds. It was such a great place that we found ourselves wanting to stay inside but we did venture outside to enjoy the fire pit and walked down to the school to let kids play before walking to the store for ice cream….

Access to Everything
We loved the location of Autumn’s Lodge being close to the golf course, shopping and some great places to eat. We spent a lot of time in Coolin which is a very short drive away. The architecture of the Lodge is gorgeous, with plenty of room for several people. A little too warm for a fire this trip, but the outdoor fire pit is welcoming, as is the big front porch.

About the host

Hosted by Autumn Kennedy

Host profile image
I love crick fishin', huckleberry pickin', and driving old mountain roads. My husband and I are blessed to live at Priest Lake and raise our three young, spirited children here. My dog Charlie B. and I used to run the Old Northern Inn Bed & Breakfast, the oldest building at Priest Lake. It is exciting that I now get to use my talents as a hostess as well as an artist, combining the two for fellow vacationers aka "Priest Lakers" to enjoy. Autumn's Lodge is the perfect fusion of two loves!

Why they chose this property

This building was built in 2008 and my parent's purchased it in 2011. I moved my existing art gallery, Autumn's Loft, into this fitting location to sell my scenic photography, my parent's rustic furnishings and over fifty other local artist's creations. Starting my business in 2003 in Priest River, Idaho, it was a bittersweet closing in 2020. ...Now after purchasing the building from my parents, I am re-opening it as Autumn's Lodge! We are still offering art classes to those staying at the Lodge, and I'm still creating my art on infused metals, available for purchase off the walls.
Autumn's Lodge is in a very CONVENIENT location, close to amenities, as well as the Priest Lake Elementary School 1/4 mile away. A quick walk north to basketball, kid's rock wall, and outside toys. Continue your walk north, to find the Tamrak gas station with local art, food, nail salon, hardware store, small gym, and Chimney Rock Cafe! Cross the Hwy to the Priest Lake Golf Course and Priest Lake Memory Gardens.
Autumn's Lodge has easy parking for large snowmobile trailers and multiple guests. Surrounded by trees, enjoy the local wildlife that comes right up to the front deck! Perry the squirrel and two snowshoe hare rabbits live at Autumn's Lodge, but you are sure to see more wildlife than that!

What makes this property unique

Book a Friends & Family art class for 6 or more people while you stay at Autumn's Lodge. Choose from fused glass, watercolors, ink on tile, or acrylic on wood. Classes start at $25/per person. Check out the Autumn's Loft on facebook to see past classes and art projects. Classes subject to art instructor's availability. We also offer mini family portrait sessions. $250 for 1/2 hour on location with forest, creek, or lake scene. Includes 20 edited images e-mailed to you with photo waiver.
