Absolutely beautiful lake front home. We spent a long weekend here playing on the lake. The home is down towards the end of the lake so boat traffic was almost non existent. My only regret is we didnt book longer, will 100% return to this home in the future!

One of the best properties at Priest Lake. The passion and love the owners have for this property is evident. We feel fortunate to have stayed. A nice beach for swimming, great dock for your boat. We skied, tubed cruised caught fish, hiked and picked huckleberries. Check in was a breeze and the house is well equipped with everything you might need . Kitchen was great for what ever you wanted to cook

Beautiful home on a spectacular location at Priest Lake

My family thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay in this beautiful home on the pristine Priest Lake. We were so pleased with the house layout, the comfortable four bedrooms, open living area, modern kitchen, double decks and of course the view of Priest Lake! Everyone felt at home and had so much fun! We absolutely loved our stay on this property and highly recommend it to future vacationers!

Lovely Week at the Best Beach on Huckleberry Bay

This is the third summer we have stayed at this home on Priest Lake. Our family loves the location and have many wonderful memories of good food, great conversations, reading in the quietness of the house, and joyful hours swimming, skiing, and boating from the dock. This summer we watched the most glorious sunset emerge over the lake and then fade as the night came upon us. Spectacular stay!

Thank you for a memorable weekend!

This place was the perfect setting for our family gathering. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kids enjoyed the upstairs play area when there was rain and they loved being outside when it was sunny. We brought our kayaks and they were easy to launch on the break taking beach front this home offers. It was a weekend we won't forget! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Perfect stay....

We gathered with family to spend quality time together...the house floorplan was perfect...master on main with kitchen, open to rest of living space. The other bedrooms and game room upstairs ...perfect set up...multiple balconies to enjoy the lake. Our only hurdle was the driveway, which would not accommodate our canoe trailer...it is steep and has a sharp curve at the bottom, so we parked our trailer after unloading at Indian Creek Campground for a fee.....not really a big deal... The house is quality with heated floors in the kitchen....pretty awesome on a cool fall day....!! Thank you for sharing your slice of Priest Lake with us.

Loved it!

We had a fantastic time staying at the property. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The only thing I'll mention is there is no AC and on the 80 degree days it got very warm inside and was hard to cool off at night as the doors didnt have screens so there wasnt much cross ventilation to cool off at night. It wasnt an issue for most of us but if you are used to a climate controlled house (like 2 in our group) you should be aware. Otherwise the house was fantastic! Amazing dock, great sand beach for the kids, privacy, games etc. The perfect getaway! We hope to be back again.

Thanks for your review Kali. Just a note about the heat. There are black out curtains on all of the doors to the bedrooms. If you keep those closed during the day, the rooms stay pretty cool. It's not like having A/C, but still usually pretty bearable. So sorry your 2 had trouble sleeping. I'm glad you guys had a good time otherwise.

Wonderful Family Time at Hummingbird Haven

This is the second year we have stayed at the Hummingbird Haven in Huckleberry Bay. We are a family of nine, my husband and I, our two daughters, their husbands, and their three sons, ages 9, 11, and 12. The cabin is perfect for a family our size. The boys love the ping pong table and had a blast having tournaments all week long! The weather was lovely this year, cooler than in the past. The water was very chilly, but that didn't stop the grandsons from having a great time inner tubing, water skiing, and playing in the lake. Priest Lake is a very magical place, gorgeous beyond description, and Hummingbird Haven is a special place that allows our family to make memories that we will treasure all their lives. Thank you so much! Marleen Ramsey

Family Reunion

The area, the home, the lake were all great. The sand was a little hard on bare feet as it was kinda of sharp and hard to walk on but water shoes took care of that. Our week was lots of fun with plenty of warm weather and sun. Very relaxingπŸ„β€β™‚οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸš£β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ! Loved that the home had two ovens. One fridg/freezer combo, not so much. If I’m helping other people that have never stayed there I would say take extra garbage bags and plan on hauling garbage least 17 miles, take extra toilet paper, use block ice and possibly dry ice in your coolers because there is only one refrigerator with a freezer in the bottom, take extra soap. To me the upside was well worth the few problems we encountered. I give our stay a strong 3 1/2 stars! Thanks for all your help Susie. Connie

Hi Connie, Thanks for leaving a review. I don't know why you were hauling your garbage. My cleaners do that each week at the end of each stay when they clean the entire house. My cleaners leave 16 rolls of TP for each group each week. So far, I haven't had problems with having one large refrigerator for 16 people but I will consider adding a chest freezer. Not sure about the soap. There should be soap at every sink and bathtub/shower. I'm glad your group had a good time in spite of the few things you felt were inadequate.

A Mixed Bag

Priest Lake was beautiful, and my family very much enjoyed our time there. That said I'm not sure how much the house itself enhanced our vacation. The things we did like about the house included the view, two barbeques, ping pong and foosball, a very extravagant kitchen, television and Netflix, the surrounding neighborhood, appearance and cleanliness, and a dock with great swimming and boating access. One main sore point for me was the lack of hot water, rendering the lukewarm Jacuzzis virtually useless. Another criticism is the excessive list of rules, a three-ring binder's worth. Do not expect to get the entirety of your deposit back, as our family spent our last morning at Priest Lake cleaning and was still charged an unreasonable amount for professional cleaning. While we had a fun time, we would not choose to stay here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
Thank you for your review. As you said, it is a beautiful house in a wonderful setting. You also said that you enjoyed the cleanliness of the home. My cleaners do a wonderful job of making the home just as perfect for each and every visitor. It is expensive to have a home cleaned in a remote location. In order to avoid hard feelings in the future, I have started including the cost of the cleaning in my rental price.

A wonderful week!

We stayed a week with our adult children and grandkids (12 of us) and really enjoyed it. The home is large and laid out nicely. We loved the small beach area and private dock. Everything worked great in the house. The only thing that would have been helpful was to have better pictures of what's described as the loft with a futon/couch bed. It's actually just on the second floor right in the middle of all of the other three bedrooms so it didn't provide any privacy at all and was quite noisy since everyone was coming in/out of their rooms off this main floor area where the couch is. The main floor room was very comfortable with a king bed and has a super nice large bathroom with tub/shower. The second floor has two rooms with queen beds in them and then a third room with a queen and a trundle bed (so 2 twin mattresses). If you are looking for a true 4 bedroom home this is a wonderful house and could comfortably sleep 10. We brought all of our food in since the closest grocery store is close to an hour away and that worked out just fine. The kitchen was well equipped and we did all of our own cooking. Susan was great about communication and the lockbox worked wonderful for arriving/leaving. We made lots of good memories and really enjoyed this beautiful, comfortable place to spend time together.

Hi Alison, I just looked at my pictures again and you are right. I need a picture of that futon in the loft. I will take a picture of how the futon is located in the loft so that people can see it is an open space in addition to the 4 bedrooms. Thanks for the feedback. Best. Susie Cook

Very nice property for a group of friends or family. Very clean. Lots of spaces indoors or out to congregate or find a quiet space to yourself. Very well equipped kitchen for nice lake meals. Susie was very responsive, helpful and quick with communication. As other reviews say, the driveway is steep and there is space to park 4 cars. Would stay here again and recommend this place.

Beautiful location

Priest lake is amazing. It is so quiet and calm. The house is very well equipped with all you would need to enjoy your stay. One thing that could be upgraded is the BBQ. We cooked all meals at the house for a week and the kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and utensils. The WIFI isn't great and drops frequently. Which is a problem if you travel with teens. Although it does them good to be without their phones for a bit. Amazing dock to park your boat at or just sit out and enjoy the view. Great sandy beach leading to the water. This is our second time at this house and would most definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Cook

Host profile image
My husband grew up in Spokane and spent summers on Priest Lake. We purchased our property at Priest Lake in 1994. I used to call it the 'most expensive camping spot in the world'. We had the shell built about 2004 and had intended to finish the inside ourselves. After many years of trying, we decided to go ahead and let the professionals complete it. The inside was completed July, 2012. Better late than never!

Why they chose this property

We have the nicest beach in Huckleberry Bay. We were the first people to buy property on our shoreline. When we heard it was opening up for sale we came in by boat before the road was in and scoped out the best beach. When the lots went on the market, we were ready to pounce on the best one.

What makes this property unique

You will love the light, breezy feeling of our home. Most homes on this lake have a dark, cabiny feel. Ours was intentionally built to be just the opposite. We enjoy the beautiful views of the water and our beach from the open verandas on each level.
