Murphy Bayを見渡すこのペットフレンドリーなCedar Forest Retreat

Erin and Thomas are proud Canadian hosts who have fallen head-over-heels in love with Sandpoint and the Lake Pend Oreille area. For the past 15 years, our family has returned to Idaho again and again — progressing from tents at Sam Owen Campground, to a tent trailer at Round Lake, then a travel trailer at Spring Point — until we finally discovered our perfect slice of paradise at 21 Westview Place.
We bought this home because we genuinely wish we could live here full-time. It’s our happy place, and we take great pride in sharing it with guests who will appreciate its peaceful lakeside setting, thoughtful details, and prime location. We love helping visitors create memorable experiences — whether it’s recommending the best local hikes, hidden beaches, or dinner spots, or simply ensuring everything is perfect before you arrive.
If you’re looking for a special place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything Sandpoint has to offer, we’d be honored to host you.

We chose this quiet neighborhood along Lakeshore Drive because it perfectly balances peaceful lakeside living with convenient access to everything Sandpoint has to offer. Tucked away in an established area of beautiful waterfront and view homes, the setting feels private and serene while still being just minutes from town.
What we love most is the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle the location enables. Our deck and stone patio (both upgraded shortly after purchase) have become the heart of the home — perfect for morning coffee with lake views, evening barbecues, or simply unwinding with the sounds of nature. The neighborhood offers gentle walking paths, gorgeous light, and that wonderful “Old Sandpoint” charm with well-maintained properties and friendly vibes.
Best of all, you’re only a short drive (or bike ride) from downtown Sandpoint’s shops and restaurants, the Farmer’s Market, City Beach, hiking trails, and boat launches. It’s the ideal home base for exploring the area while returning each day to a tranquil retreat.

What makes Murphy’s Retreat truly unique is its exceptional emphasis on outdoor living and connection to the Idaho landscape. The oversized ~1,000 sq ft deck and even larger stone patio create multiple inviting spaces for relaxing, dining, or entertaining while enjoying the fresh air and surroundings.
Guests particularly love the wicked fire pit (we supply the firewood), the wood pellet smoker and propane BBQ grill combo that gives you versatile cooking options, and the ability to head out on the water or trails using the two included kayaks or several bicycles — all available at your discretion. Custom wood carvings by a local artist who lives just down the road add a special artistic touch throughout the property.
Inside, the home features a bright, modern kitchen and living area along with a beautifully updated bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware and pantry staples so you can settle in easily and cook with ease.
This combination of generous outdoor spaces, fun recreational toys, and comfortable modern interiors makes Murphy’s Retreat feel like a true sanctuary — perfect for slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and creating memorable experiences.
