I would advise anyone who wants to visit Sandpoint/Dover, ID area, that you can't go wrong staying in this home. Everything was just as advertised, even the beds were comfortable which is not always the case in vacation homes, (voice of experience). The manager was very helpful and courteous. Between my wife and I, four thumbs up.

Lovely stay in Dover

My wife and I spent a week in the Sandpoint to be with our son. The cottage had everything you’d possibly need and the accommodations were very comfortable. Val was most responsive to our requests. We definitely would stay there again.

Adorable Home in Dover Bay!

This home was adorable and perfect for visiting my parents over the holiday break. It's been a light winter in north Idaho which meant we got to enjoy how close this home was to the water by taking a morning stroll down to the shore. Very easy to find and so close to Sandpoint. More than enough linens and house supplies plus the kitchen had plenty of appliances and dishware, which made cooking and enjoying meals together a breeze. Owners were quick to respond and great communicators. We would happily come back and stay again!

Nice House in Quiet Neighborhood

We enjoyed our lengthy stay at this cute house in Dover. Large kitchen, bedroom and living room make for comfortable living. Kitchen is well appointed, with large kitchen island. House is situated close to Dover neighborhood's walking path and great waterfront restaurant, Dish. The host, Valerie was easy to work with and was in communication with us during the few snow storms we had during our stay to make sure our driveway was properly plowed out afterwards. She was one of the best hosts we have ever dealt with in our many stays we have had using VRBO. We have always stayed in downtown Sandpoint during our previous visits, but the serenity of Dover is refreshing.

Safety idea

When we arrived home was unlocked and passcode is house address twice. Seems very easy to figure out and recommend one a bit more unique. Also code should be changed between guests if it is not. Otherwise, very happy. :)

Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Michael, I am so glad you were happy with your stay. And thank you for leaving the house so clean! I'm so sorry you didn't bring your concern about the code to my attention. I am able to change it remotely and I would have been more than happy to do so. I have used different codes and I try to pick ones that will be fairly easy for guests to remember. I will be sure to let any future guests know, when we rent again, that we can adjust the code that we pick for them if they would like. Best to you and thank you for staying with us, and even extending your stay!

Beautifully updated home in Dover ID

This property was super clean and looks newly remodeled inside. All modern amenities. It was perfect for my husband and my needs. Wonderful large fenced yard with views of the mountains. Lovely connecting neighborhoods for peaceful walks to the lake. Nice covered back deck with comfy seating and barbecue. Soft sheets, blankets, and towels. Fully equipped kitchen with lots of room and very nice dishes. Basic supplies like salt, pepper, oil, tinfoil, baggies, paper towel, toilet paper, etc. We wouldn’t expect more in this new Covid environment so we brought all else we needed. Do bring your own body soap and shampoos as those aren’t provided. The host was so responsive and kind. Loved the fireplace which heats the whole living area. I’d highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie

Host profile image
Six years ago, I discovered the beauty, nature and tranquility of Northern Idaho and thereafter became blessed to call Idaho my home. Sandpoint and Dover have abundant activities all year round and I find great happiness in birdwatching, and taking in the garden and wildlife views from home.

Why they chose this property

I loved Dover and my home here from the first time I saw them. The home is beautifully updated, cozy and quaint with easy maintenance and it has a sprawling backyard which is rare in Dover. The home backs up to the Dover Bay community, yet is free from their CC&Rs and HOA. It is within walking distance to beautiful Dover City Beach, which rivals any private beach.

What makes this property unique

The property is unique for its fenced front and backyards on about .3 acres,
