Upstairs bathroom needs a small table to set things on very difficult to even have a toothbrush on the vanity. Towels were clean and nice squeegee was broken on the shower so I didn’t use the bedroom upstairs had no closet rod no hangers I didn’t know what to do with our clothes, except keep them in the suitcase.

The location is great, it was well equipped for my family of four. There was a goodie basket left by the management company that was appreciated. Very clean, very cozy! We would stay again.

Upon our arrival the house was set at 87 inside. It took until the next day to cool down. Upstairs continued to still stay warm and never got cool enough. Both beds were extremely uncomfortable. Couch was too small to seat our family on. Knives were too dull to use. Only people renting the bungalows can use the pool.

I absolutely loved this place. It was quiet very close to the lake. Was able to go walk through the community where everyone was social and easy going. I am already thinking about going back in the future.

We stayed 3 nights while visiting for a wedding, and it was great! Clean and quiet. On a map it looks a little far from Sand Point, but really it’s only about a 5 minute drive

Cute, clean, good beds,

Our stay was delightful our 95 yr old father visited with us there instead of us all sitting in his small Sr Living apartment. My husband, Brother and wife stayed there . The walks were enjoyable but always got caught in the rain. Sat was the 50’s Car show and the weather couldn’t have been better. We ate breakfast there but at our brother’s home in town and also out and about for all other meals. We felt it would have been nice to have salt and pepper, simple spices and spray oil for cooking which we have always had available in other stays.
