Poindexter’s Palace-A Yurt AND A Tiny Home!

Delightful Mongolian Yurt and Custom Tiny House-Fiber internet coming on April 27!!

Poindexter’s Palace is very unique. You will have an eclectic experience with a combination of a traditional Mongolian Yurt (Ger) combined with a well appointed tiny house that gives the guests two separate areas to enjoy.

Clark Fork is a beautiful community in North Idaho with small town charm. There are outdoor activities to enjoy including Clark Fork River, Lake Pend Oreille, Schweitzer Ski Resort, and miles of back roads and trails to enjoy.

The space
Poindexter’s Palace – A Unique Yurt + Tiny House Retreat in Clark Fork, Idaho

Escape to Poindexter’s Palace, a one-of-a-kind stay featuring a traditional Mongolian yurt (Ger) and a custom-built tiny house, nestled in the scenic town of Clark Fork near Lake Pend Oreille and Schweitzer Ski Resort.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: cozy glamping in the yurt and modern comfort in the tiny house—connected by a shared deck with a grill, picnic table, and Adirondack chairs.

The Yurt (350 sq ft):
King bed, couch, dining table, armoire, bar/work space, mini fridge, and Keurig.

The Tiny House:
Full kitchen, full bathroom with hot shower, bright living area, and a cozy loft accessed by ladder.

Perfect for a romantic getaway, outdoor adventure, or unique stay close to rivers, trails, skiing, and small-town charm.

Good to know:
• No Wi-Fi yet-coming soon! (Verizon cell service works in the area) Fiber internet coming April 27!!!
• You’ll hear natural and rural sounds (creek, trains, neighbors)
• The yurt is a tent-style structure with ambient noise

Named after our beloved German Shepherd, Poindexter (Dex), this peaceful retreat is designed for comfort, character, and unforgettable memories.

Guest access
The yurt and tiny house are all yours while you enjoy your stay. They are separated by a few steps across the deck. There is plenty of parking for your use.

Consider bringing shoes or sandals that you can easily slip on and off as you go from the yurt and tiny house.

Other things to note
The yurt is a tent-style structure, so you’ll hear natural and neighborhood sounds (creek, trains, kids, pets). Sound travels easily, so please be mindful of noise.

Verizon cell service works best. WIFI IS COMING APRIL 27!!!!
Our water heater is on the smaller side, which means you’ll get about 5–10 minutes of nice hot water at a time. It recovers quickly, so spacing showers out a bit works perfectly.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Cozy and Unique Place in Clark Fork, ID

Super clean and cozy yurt and tiny house. Close to Clark Fork River & Lake Pend O'reille. Perfect location for a paddler's paradise. Enjoyed the quiet town with great food options. Will definitely be back again soon.

This place was magical

I adored this property. It was cozy, comfortable, very well equipped and Chris the property manager was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and places to go fish. The neighborhood was extremely quiet, loved hearing all the nature around when we were in the yurt. The tiny home was so cute also. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Comfortable and Quiet

A home away from home! Such a beautiful area and everything here was so clean. Comfortable bed and plenty of space for two people. Once inside the yurt it was so quiet! If you love chickens you’ll definitely see and hear some. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering staying here.

Fun stay in Clark fork!

Very tidy property with everything you need! Kitchen is well stocked and efficient. My 9 year old loved sleeping in the loft. Yurt is well appointed and comfy! Chickens right next door provide an early wake as an FYI. Super base for exploring north Idaho!

Great little get away

Amazing things:- Everything was clean, neat and welcoming. - Decorated eclectic with great colors and art pieces. - Both the yurt and tiny house were stocked well. You have a/c in both units, a kitchen and bath in the tiny house and a nice tv and living area in the yurt. - The couches and beds were comfortable and cozy. - Easy to access, this is a couple blocks off the highway making it super easy to get to. Things I wished I would have known:- The rooster next door that starts crowing loudly at 4am and continuities until 8am is extra loud in the yurt. Sleep was an issue and it wasn’t communicated in the listing. - Bathroom access is only in the tiny house so if you’re sleeping in the yurt and need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night it’s a process.- Allergies… there is some horse hair decorations which are cute but caused a major allergy flair for one person in our party.
