I grew up in Metaline Falls with my parents and four siblings.

I currently live 250 miles away but return to the family home to see my siblings and extended family and friends that still live in Metaline Falls or near there.

I bought this home from my siblings in order to keep it in the family and be able to gather together during the year with my siblings, their families, and friends. My Dad built this house/home from the ground up. So many memories here.

My parents always opened the door to family and friends to stay and visit. When we siblings were in college we would bring fellow students home during the holidays and Mom and Dad greeted them with open arms. When company left our home they felt special and knew they had been welcomed.

I want to extend that opportunity to other families; to be welcomed into our home.
A house needs people and vacation rental by owner seemed like a good way to offer an invitation to others. The river-view is so amazing and brings me peace just sitting and looking out the picture window. I hope it can do the same for you.

The location is located to many sites to see; things to do within 5 to 30 miles.

Sullivan Lake 7 miles away is great for boating, canoes; swimming, camping, paddle boarding etc.

Numerous lakes within 5-25 miles are stocked with fish; the Mill Pond on the road to Sullivan Lake is a great place to fish Sullivan Creek; and teach the young ones how to fly fish.

Hiking trails abound with easy short routes to see Sweet Creek Falls; or a more robust hike to Elk Creek Falls; or a longer hike along Sullivan Lake Trail; and many more.

Quilting: If you love to quilt and want to set up a Quilting Retreat for yourself and some friends there is a large table for laying out fabric. I quilt there so there is a large cutting mat available. The local "Sweet Creek Creations" has some of the best fabric in any quilt store I have visited. The two sisters who own the shop are there to help with any quilting questions you might have. You can set up your machine(s) on the folding tables available and look out over the river to relax your eyes and muscles.

Golfing: unique experience golfing at the Pend Oreille Golf Course; nine holes situated in the forest, with SAND greens. There is an honor system to pay for your under $5/person; $10/season or family green fees (put the money in the envelop and into the box). There is also a small family owned golf course with grass greens; Serendipity about 15 miles south near Ione.

Winter sports also; snowmobiling; cross country skiing; down hill skiing in Canada about 50 miles north.

Touring Box Canyon Dam, Boundry Dam, and Gardner Caves are within 10 miles as well.

Metaline Falls is located on the International Selkirk Loop.
