About this property
Welcome to Our Lakefront Guest Suite on Lake Pend Oreille
Welcome to Our Lakefront Guest Suite on Lake Pend Oreille
Escape to our cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat in Sagle, Idaho—just 150 feet from the shores of Lake Pend Oreille. Perfectly blending comfort, convenience, and the natural beauty of North Idaho, this guest suite is designed for travelers seeking a peaceful getaway with easy access to both relaxation and adventure.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be surrounded by the sights and sounds that make this region so special. The sparkling waters of Lake Pend Oreille, the backdrop of Gold Mountain, and the quiet residential setting create a unique escape that feels far from the hustle of daily life—yet remains close to Sandpoint, Schweitzer Mountain, and Silverwood Theme Park. Whether you’re here to enjoy a summer on the water or a winter retreat in the mountains, our space offers the ideal year-round base for your travels.
The Space
Our guest suite is attached to our family home and thoughtfully designed for comfort and function. Inside you’ll find:
A full kitchen stocked with everything you need to prepare meals, from morning coffee to lakeside dinners.
In-unit laundry, making it easy to freshen up during longer stays.
Reliable Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected or stream your favorite shows after a day outdoors.
A cozy bedroom and living space, perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small families seeking a restful retreat.
The suite provides privacy while still offering shared access to some of the best features of our property, including the backyard, dock, and beach area. In the warmer months, bring your boat, paddleboards, or fishing poles and enjoy direct water access.
Guest Access
Guests share the driveway, yard, dock, and playground with our family. Parking is simple—you’ll see a white and black “Guest Parking” sign on the left side of the driveway. To access the suite, follow the path under the porch, just past the garage door. We’ve designed the entry to be straightforward so your arrival is as stress-free as possible.
The Neighborhood
Our lakefront neighborhood is one of Sagle’s hidden gems. Quiet streets make it ideal for walking or biking, and the views are stunning—lake vistas in the back, Gold Mountain in the front. Sandpoint is just a 5-minute drive away, or for the more adventurous, a 15–20 minute bike ride over the scenic Long Bridge. Schweitzer Mountain is only 30 minutes by car, offering world-class skiing in winter and hiking in summer. Families love visiting Silverwood Theme Park, which is about 35 minutes away.
Seasonal Notes
Lake Pend Oreille is truly magical, but its water levels do drop in October and return to full pool in late May. This means the inlet behind our property can be quite shallow during fall and winter. Don’t worry—there’s still plenty to enjoy, from snow-covered mountain adventures to cozy nights in the suite.
Interaction with Guests
Because the suite is part of our home, you may see us or our two kids enjoying the yard. Our children love meeting new people, and the shared spaces like the beach, playground, and dock make it easy to connect. That said, we fully respect your privacy and allow you to decide the level of interaction.
Please note: trains do run through the Sandpoint area, a historic part of life here since the late 1800s, so you may occasionally hear one pass by.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re planning to relax by the water, hit the slopes, or explore the charm of Sandpoint, our guest suite offers the perfect home base. We look forward to sharing our special slice of North Idaho with you and hope your time here leaves you refreshed, inspired, and eager to return.

The house and neighborhood were beautiful. The little touches mean a lot. The host and his family were warm and always making sure we had everything we needed. One day while we were out, when we came back, they put fresh flowers on the porch. I highly recommend Baby Birch and we will return.

Perfect Getaway
Baby Birch Banks is a beautiful vacation home in an amazing location. We stayed with our 9 year old daughter for a trip to Silverwood. The house had absolutely everything we needed and more! You can tell the owners have put a lot of thought into every detail. The house is beautiful inside and out. We brought our kayak and paddled along the quiet water. Definitely recommend this place for 2-3 people.
