Lake Pend Oreille in Hope, Idaho.

This home is a beautiful 3-bedroom (plus a loft) with a spacious and beautiful deck. It is perfect for family and friends getaways or a trip to the lake!

Guest will have access to the entire property + house. We do have two kayaks for use if you have means to get them down to the lake.

We do have trains that pass by the house day / night. They are not allowed to use their horns but there are sounds to be expected (however we don’t even notice any longer. :))

We are in the final stages of building a new home next door. There is a possibility of periodic construction sounds + occasionally we will be on property next door when the Donovan house is rented.

No shoes can be worn upstairs or on carpeted areas.

No photo shoots or events of any kind allowed on the property without prior approval.

Please do not park at the post office, they will have your vehicle towed at owners expense

The driveway is ONE WAY. Please stay to the left and follow the driveway up + cross in front of the house + follow it around to the back of the house, clockwise.

Loved our stay
It’s easy to see why Sheri is a super host, she was amazing and made sure our stay was great and that we had everything we needed. There isn’t ac and it was pretty hot at night so she made sure we had fans the next night. The house has great views of the lake and we loved sitting in the swing and eating out on the deck. It has been nicely redone and was very clean. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels, dishes and anything else we needed. I was a little worried about the train noise but it really wasn’t bad but the highway was a little noisy. It’s a nice location in a quiet little town and a beautiful drive to Clark fork or Sandpoint. The driveway is steep and a bit of a pain. We would stay here again.
