Great host, made it very easy for us. The house was perfect for our family weekend, with separate rooms for each kid, and a Master upstairs. Lots of room on the main floor for spending time playing games, cooking, etc.

Great Value with Excellent Location

We really enjoyed our stay at the "Bear's Den." We were pleasantly surprised at the location being so close to the lake. We all enjoyed walking or jogging each morning on the extensive surrounding trails. The area was perfect to be able to visit family in Priest River and Kootenai.

This is a great home/cabin in great little community. The home/cabin has plenty of space, was clean, and modern. It was very quiet and peaceful in the neighborhood which was a huge relief for us. Everyone we encountered in the neighborhood was friendly and polite. The host was really good. They would communicate back with us in a timely manner and gave clear instructions that were easy to follow for check in and check out. We really want to come back next year and make this an annual trip.

This is the perfect place to have a family come together and enjoy a peaceful & beautiful home. The homeowner has done a beautiful job preparing the home with everything a family could need. The walk to the water is just 30 seconds away. Host was wonderful and very kind. We plenty of space for five adults and a child. My favorite part of the house was sitting on the big porch and being able to enjoy meals together.
