Easy Access to The Water Year Round’
Water levels on the property are managed by the Brownlee Reservoir Dam, which is controlled by Idaho Power. As a result, water levels can vary throughout the year. At times, the water may reach all the way up to the base of the stairs from the house, while at other times, at the lowest time of the year, it may recede 50+ feet away from the house.

Both conditions offer unique and wonderful benefits. When the water is high, it allows for convenient fishing directly from the dock. When the water is lower, guests enjoy an expansive beach area that’s perfect for beachcombing, letting the kids run, relaxing, or enjoying fires by the water’s edge.

Regardless of the water level, guests have excellent access to fishing and can enjoy recreational activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating. If you plan to bring a boat, please check with us in advance to confirm whether it can be launched from the property.
