This was our second visit to Rathdrum Mountain guest house. It was just as wonderful the second time as it was the first time. Clean, organized, peaceful, and just perfect for us and our dog. The next time we’re in the neighborhood we will certainly stay there again. Thank you, Susan & Thomas.

Lovely! Our stay at RMGH exceeded our expectations in every way. We were greeted by our host who gave us a thorough walk-through of the property and left us with a lovely charcuterie welcome spread. The kitchen was fully stocked and filled with everything to cook gourmet meals. We planned to eat dinners in because we brought our two dogs who were treated to toys and a large puppy palace in the yard. The property is very private so having coffee in our spa robes on the porch was a treat. I cannot recommend RMGH enough and will happily return on our next trip to the area.

Best place

Such a great place! Susan stocked the place with drinks, a charcuterie board (even made it gluten free for us,) organic dairy in the fridge and soup! The towels were amazing and the kitchen has everything you need. The sauna and trails were a nice bonus. The property is well taken care of and clean. Susan thought of everything. Lovely place and we’ll happily stay here again!

We have staying in quite a few VRBO's, but none like this! CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!! Our host is amazing and truly believes in pampering her guests. She even has a stocked fridge and pantry, and birthday wishes for me. I have never enjoyed beautiful antiques like this one. Her towels and linens are of the best quality. They even have a huge dog house with a cot and a dog run. Highly recommend this wonderful guest house!!

The online property description & pictures were accurate. It really is as good as it looks. We were comfortable from the moment we arrived. It hit 100 degrees that day and Susan had the A/C on for us already. That thoughtful touch is emblematic of how Susan runs her VRBO. Everything exceeded expectations from the stocked frig, toiletries, and pet supplies. What isn't mentioned enough is the property itself and the hiking trails. If you stay, don't miss them. They give a great workout and the view from the top is worth it. Thank you Susan & Tom for making this one of our very best vacations.

Our stay here was amazing! The hosts were excellent to work with and were very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows, sheets, towels, robes, etc. were of the highest quality. The private sauna and beautiful hiking trails from the house were the cherry on top. I will definitely be staying at the Rathdrum Mountain Guest House again. Thank you!

Truly beautiful

Host was amazing! Met us at the house and gave us a tour and left us with a charcuterie tray of delicious snacks. From there it was a stay filled with nature in a beautiful home. The wild turkeys that stopped by along with the curious Alpacas next door made this trip peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. We were just outside the town so restaurants and necessities were just right there. So glad we chose this place!

Perfect charming quaint cottage

The host thought of everything you could possibly need or want for a weekend getaway. It was perfect for us to meet our family who live in Rathdrum. They walked in the cozy cabin and said “wow”! Susan welcomed us with a delicious cheese board and beverages. Her passion for her guest to be comfortable shows in every detail in every room. Perfecto! Irene and Mark

Amazing! We've stayed a fancier places, but they don't compare to the complete package this cottage has to offer. This place is begging you to stay, relax, and truly enjoy the comforts of the cottage and the outdoor amenities. I wish we could have stayed longer to truly enjoy it. Susan lives nearby so she was able to greet us, give us a tour of what the cottage offers, and bless us with a delicious charcuterie board. The pantry and fridge were also stocked for our enjoyment- eggs, milk, mini ice creams, fruit, etc. The kitchen may be smaller, but it is the best stocked kitchen I've seen when it comes to cooking and baking. Pop a record onto the record player and listen to some great music while you cook, or choose to sit and relax while enjoying the beautifully decorated cottage and surrounding outdoors. Outside in the backyard you will find a hammock that makes a great place to enjoy a good book. You will also find several trails to explore right out the backdoor.This is a place we will definitely come back to and enjoy in the future.

Beyond Expectations!

This place was wonderful and relaxing. We always choose vacation rentals over hotels because we are more comfortable having room to stretch out. But this place offered so much more. It was close to restaurants but there was no need to go out with the ammenities provided. No detail was left out. We even got to Experience them shearing the alpacas during our stay which was fitting because we were in the area to attend modern homesteading conference.

Our Best VRBO Experience Ever

From the moment we arrived at Rathdrum Mountain Guest House, we knew we had found something truly special. Nestled at the base of the mountain, this retreat is a peaceful sanctuary where every detail has been thoughtfully curated.Our host, Susan, was extremely welcoming. Communication was exactly what you hope for — timely, clear, and friendly — making our stay effortless from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave!The blend of cozy charm and luxury is unmatched. The master bedroom’s Saatva luxury-firm mattress gave us the best night’s sleep we’ve had in ages, and the triple-sheeted 100% cotton linens with European goose-down pillows made it feel like a five-star hotel in the middle of nature.It’s the small details that truly set this place apart — a stocked fridge and pantry, plush robes and slippers, spa-quality bath products, and even thoughtful touches for our dog. The Finnleo outdoor sauna was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings, and the private nature trails made our mornings magical.We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, but this was hands-down the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!

Our stay was filled with enjoying the hot Finnish sauna and marvelling at the record collection. A wonderful stay and we definitely enjoyed making new turkey friends. Furthermore, Susan and Tom have thought of everything that anyone staying there could possibly need. From delicious German beer all the way to reading glasses that my 26 year old self definitely didnt need. THANK YOU!! see you next time! 😘

Secluded Luxury

This is a great place to stay! We felt very special and pampered during our visit. The hosts have included a lot of unique touches to help guests feel comfortable and relaxed. A lit fire in the stove, fresh flowers, luxury bath products, luxury linens and towels! They provide a pantry with items to cook, spices, appliances, and a fridge stocked with a few of the important basics, like milk, eggs, beer and wine! The outdoor Sauna was wonderful, private and very relaxing, with the creek gurgling nearby. The house is warm and cozy, perfect for a winter get away! Tom and Susan are attentive, friendly and worked hard to make our stay very enjoyable. Thank you!

This is the first time I used this site, so I was a little bit nervous at first.. Susan very quickly calmed those fears and nervousness. From the start, her communication was absolutely on point. When we pulled up to the location, she was there waiting at the door for us. She had fresh slippers and a charcuterie board wating for us. She took the time to take us on a tour of the house, talked about the history of the property and the amenties offered with the house. It is very apparent that this couple takes so much pride in offering the absolute best accomodations for their guests. There is a lovely sauna, with full instructions and hiking trails through out the property. There are also several different relaxing seating areas on the property as well. There are two bedrooms to choose from. Both are exquisitely detailed, including different pillow types, and just so, so luxurious. The bath amenties are absolutely top notch. She also has gone out of her way to stock the fridge and pantry, offering anything you might need for your stay. every single detail and added touch with this property is absolutely un-matched. This was above and beyond my favorite vacation stay, that I have experienced. We will be coming back.

Rathdrum Gem!

What a find! We needed a place to sleep and shower while visiting family in the area. This vacation rental was so much more! The home is just lovely! It has been decorated with thought and care. The attention to every detail is amazing. Our host personally welcomed us to offer a walkthrough. We were tired and hungry after a day on the road. To our surprise, the kitchen was stalled with snacks, treats and beverages. No need for us to venture back out for a meal. Finally, Susan, is a wonderful host. She attended to our every need and then some. Susan was so accommodating and a joy to visit with. She was also respectful of giving us our space. This is by far the best VRBO we have rented. We’ll be back!
