Rented the cottage for overflow from our daughters wedding. The location was perfect for us and the cottage was new, very cute, and well appointed! Would recommend to anyone coming to Sandpoint, located nicely in-between Schweitzer as well as the downtown area.
We came from Canada for a short visit to explore Sandpoint and take the kids to Silverwood. The cottage was an excellent choice - it was clean, extremely comfortable and close to everything we wanted to explore. Monica was extremely helpful and more than happy to answer any questions. All of the information you would ever need was provided before arriving and everything was exactly as pictured and discussed in the listing. We will definitely be back to stay - the family has plans to return in the winter for a visit to the ski resort. Thanks for a wonderful mini getaway!
Stunning cottage! Honestly felt like we were staying with close family. Everything they could think of to make the home feel modern, cozy and convenient was provided. Probably the nicest we have stayed in with a wonderful kitchen, cozy soft beds, pillows and linens and everything you could possibly need throughout your stay. The area is a little industrial but still felt very safe, quiet and close to everything we needed. Monica was such a pleasure to communicate with and created the most welcoming information package and gift basket. We had a family of 4, made the drive up from Alberta, Canada and enjoyed our first visit to Sandpoint. Silverwood theme park was less than 30 minutes away, a nice drive.
Family camping at Riley Creek nearby and my Aunt (72), Cousin (52), and myself, (55) stayed at this cottage instead of a tent 🙂 This place was beautiful. Comfortable beds, A/C worked great in 100 degrees, very clean, great amenities down to beach bags/towels/kids beach toys, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, and was super cute! Hosts thought of everything to make your stay great! While we commuted every day and spent most our time at the campground, am very familiar with area, so cottage is very well located...basically a mile to everything...and if you dont know Sandpoint, such a cute town with tons of summer stuff to do for adults and families. Limited parking which is fully disclosed, suggestion to mark parking space in front of unit. I have done several VRBO rentals and this one was top notch!
Great place for our visit. A lot of nice touches by the owner. The fresh flowers were a nice touch and welcoming. A small amount of supplies were available in case you forgot something for your trip. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful cottage. They went above and beyond with the amenities. They thought of everything.
What a wonderful home!
Super clean and stylish, comfortable, with attention to every detail and need. Close to downtown and close to ski area.
A five-star stay!
The house was lovely inside and out. Every amenity for a great family trip to the lake was provided. We were beyond comfortable and found ourselves struggling to back on our final day. We did not want to leave! Great place!
This was a beautiful home! Nothing was missed in the home - anything you needed, it was there! Far exceeded our expectations. The owners had amazing communication, not only about our arrival but also shared many recommendations for local places to eat. We absolutely LOVED this place ❤️!! Thank you Monica for having such a wonderful and gorgeous home for our stay.
From booking to check in to check out everything was well planned out. Cute little cottage, that could sleep more if they could put a ladder on a barn door rail for the loft area at front of house, and make it safe. Our kids especially our 7 year old, would’ve liked to sleep up there.
We were instantly charmed by this beautiful cottage just looking at it from the outside. It was easy getting in with the code provided. The family room area seems even more spacious in person. Such a cozy vibe and warm colors everywhere. Everything is provided in the kitchen and bathroom if you forget anything. We used the new play pin for our 11 month old. Easy assembly and access. We slept in the king bed which was like falling into a cloud. My family and created some great memories here playing games and cooking inside as well as fun with the neighbors outside. It’s also a quick drive up to Schweitzer which we seized the opportunity and picked 3 gallons of huckleberries. We would definitely come back here again.
New; super clean; well appointed; great having a hose out front to wash off mountain bikes; Monica so easy to work with.
But there are train tracks 1/4 mile away and even with background white noise machines, I still heard the trains during the night ( we were aware of tracks nearby before booking). Also the exterior hvac unit, just outside the master bedroom makes a constant humming, audible noise
The cottage was exactly as pictured…adorable, clean, well appointed, and cozy. We loved spending evenings on the porch blowing bubbles and relaxing after spending the days at city beach. The lake and park are top notch, and my 2 year old granddaughter had the best time!
