About this property

IdaBlu, a floating house with unobstructed views of the mountains and lake.

Welcome to IdaBlu, a floating home located in the quaint town of Bayview, Idaho. This floating paradise sits on the front dock overlooking breathtaking views of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding mountains. Experience all North Idaho has to offer with Farragut State Park within 1 mile that offers hiking trails, disc golf, lakefront beach area, biking, children activities and more! Silverwood Theme Park is 12 miles away with over 70 rides to choose from. Lake attractions include boat rental, fishing charters, swimming in clear mountain water, and the convenience of the boat launch within site, if you choose to bring your own boat. Relax on the front floating dock with everything you need to feel at home with lounge chairs, dining table, and a propane grill to cook your lunch or dinner with a view. The main floor offers a full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and an open concept living and dining area with unmatched views of the water. Upstairs you will find spacious master suite with views of the water and mountains right from the king sized bed along with a half bath and balcony overlooking it all. There are also two additional bedrooms upstairs for whoever is coming along. This floating home is located at the end of the dock offering more privacy compared to the others in the marina. Walk to one of the local restaurants throughout the town. This home is a perfect place relax, unwind and explore. The owners visited here and fell in love to the point where they purchased the place so they could share the same feeling they had with future guests. Book today, once you arrive you will not want to leave!

THINGS TO KNOW:
Starlink Internet is provided
Boat tie-ups are available off of the deck (must rent separately from Scenic Bay Marina), but please keep in mind that the owner's boat will be on-site in their private slip, so we ask you not to go on their boat.
Parking is $5 per day payable to Scenic Bay Marina
Security Camera Details: Located only on the exterior of the home with no sound.
