We enjoyed the cabin and lake. There were only two of us, and it was quite comfortable. Over the week we were there, we experienced sunny days, rainy days and a wonderful early morning fog wafting over the lake. Diana was responsive throughout our stay, for a minor inconvenience we incurred. We enjoyed the area, Coeur d’Alene for lunch, whitewater rafting on the Clark Fork river, BBQ at the cabin and several great restaurants in the surrounding area. All good from our perspective…It was a wildlife extravaganza! The gaggle of geese made for lively conversations.

We left a note for you on the kitchen counter - last load of towels and sheets were in the laundry except a towel in each bathroom, plus the dishwasher should have had clean dishes as we filled and started it before we left.Your note stated that the boat house had a lock with a combination. There was no lock with a combination on the boat house, plus the door was off its rollers so we tried to fix it as best possible.The downstairs bathroom sink could probably use some Drano as it was clogged when we got there. We couldn't find any Drano or any unclogger, so it still needs something.Unfortunately, the WiFi for our phones didn't work well, although another family member had an I-phone and he had service all the time. Thankfully we were able to use his phone, but would have been without contact at all if he had not been there.I'm sorry to have a lot of negatives here, because we did enjoy our time there with the paddle boards, canoe, etc. We left an extra "toy" that can be pulled behind a boat as our family members have outgrown it. We also left a small electric hand mixer that we hope is helpful for others.Hopeful too that the way down to the beach will be fixed, as that was just a tad "interesting" as we made our way down with the crumbling platform near the boathouse, etc.

Pretty Cabin on the Lake
The family had a nice time at the house. We enjoyed getting out on the lake with the provided kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats. Great views from the balcony. The only thing I would say is if you are considering this property for a vacation, be advised getting down to the lake from the property is not easy. If you are elderly or have young kids, it is not an easy climb. Not a problem for us, but something you should be aware of. Otherwise we enjoyed the stay.

Disappointed
We are yearly renters on Lake Hayden. This year was our 12th year. We stay over 2 weeks and are very familiar with the lake and how other rentals and host work. We found this rental to be lacking in many areas. The location is actually perfect and right across from the sand bar. Unfortunately the access to the dock would definitely be a issue for any young children, elders, or people with difficulty walking. Not because of distance but because of the erosion and poor upkeep and stairs crumbling and buckling. Mice were a huge issue and got into all our food and grossly could be heard running across drop ceiling in downstairs bedrooms while sleeping and the kids who slept upstairs got scared listening to them chew through food in kitchen nightly. It was a big problem and all food dishes had to be washed before every use because we constantly found feces on them and on bathroom counters and floors. We had many issues with plumbing and although host tried fixing it once and did give us a 10% refund it is definitely a problem that needs to be tended to for future guest or just plan on only using one bathroom after paying for 2. We rented this cabin for 15 days and there was only propane for 2 nights on the BBQ. When asked for more the host agreed and then took over 5 days to come and get tank. By that time we had already filled it because we had a family to feed. Sadly we were disappointed by many things but still love Lake Hayden and it’s beauty...just not this cabin or host

Lake Cabin - 4 Stars (depending on what you’re looking for)
First, the positives: my family (with 4 kids under 12) had a great time playing in the water and fishing right from the dock. We played on the beach all day every day and loved it. The kids had no complaints whatsoever.
When we arrived, there were 10-20 boats right in front of the property blaring music and partying. Apparently, everybody comes to the sandbar right in front of this property to hang out. In addition, right across from the property is a resort. They had some sort of camp there with buses constantly coming and going. The groups could be heard singing/playing music well into the night.
As soon as we walked into the cabin, it rank of cigarettes. We immediately opened every window in the house, which did fix the issue.
The house does have a decently long staircase down to the water. The stairs themselves were in need of repair. The old staircase could be seen in the lake below - looked like the hill caved in. The new stairs were uneven and not nearly as nice. One guest (65+) was not able to easily get to the beach/dock area, which was disappointing. The beach pictures in the ad must have been taken when the lake level was very low water. It was smaller than pictured. The dock needs additional flotation. Small waves regularly washed over the dock. Fishing from the dock while it was windy was more like wading.
The fridge made a loud, weird knocking noise.
Dishes were not clean when we arrived - lipstick on glasses in the cupboards, etc.

Great Family Getaway...if you are able to go with the flow.
We had a lovely time getting away from it all before school started in the fall. It has a quick walk down to the dock and a tiny little beach to sit and dip your feet in. The ONLY issue, and it really didn't bother us, but may be an issue if you are looking for peace and quiet, is that the property is located at the end of the lake where all the boaters have decided to congregate and party together, drink all day and late into the evening. They play loud music and are pretty loud in general. So a tranquil lake experience it was NOT. But we were able to go with the flow. Otherwise, a nice little cabin to get away from it all for the weekend.
