North Idaho Visit

We were there mostly at night as we had a baby shower to attend to. Place was clean, beds were comfortable, and the property was quiet.

This beautiful, secluded property down a gravel road was perfect for our group of 10 adults and kids.The home is well maintained and very unique, definitely had the charm of an older house. There are many spaces for everyone to spread out and a nice covered patio. On a clear night it was dark enough to see the Milky Way and we could hear wildlife, it was really cool!We used the home as our base to go to Silverwood Theme Park. There are many lakes in the area and other things to do.Overall a great place and we would stay again for sure!

Spacious country farmhouse

We had plenty of room for the 11 of us. The hosts were great about getting some things we needed as it is a new rental. We were very close to a grocery store and to Silverwood. The kids loved the toy closet and the piano was fun. Dinner around the big dining table sparked a lot of conversations and shared stories. Kelso lake just down the road was a fun way to cool off.

We had a great stay here. Lots of space. All the amenities. My girls loved the piano and toy closet. The internet/wifi is excellent. We watched a couple DVD movies that are provided as well. It took us under 15 minutes to get to Silverwood. Beacon Pizza and Tap House was close by. Mosquitos in July weren’t nearly as bad here compared to a few weeks ago in SW Idaho (Snake River). Classic farmhouse in a beautiful location. I wish I had brought my fishing rod for the lake. Next time!
