Heat Dome
The A/C was not working when we checked in. The repairman never did show up so we spent a hot stuffy first night as it was 100F. Then a mouse ran a ross the kitchen floor before bed. We did not stay the second night due to the heat as no one slept. I have asked for a refund for the second night. Also, yes, great lake view but no access to the lake and no dishwasher! That should be made clear. This is not a bargain rental spot. For this price I expected A/C, lake access and a dishwasher. Instead I got heat, a mouse and a musty smell.

Great place for family ski trip
My family and I enjoyed staying here for several days while skiing at Schweitzer. The lake views are beautiful, and we saw lots of wildlife including deer, elk, moose, and eagles. The weather was very cold but we had no problems staying warm inside the house. We had plenty of space and enjoyed using the kitchen for cooking meals. Like other reviewers have said, you can hear some road noise, but it didn’t bother us that much. Also, it’s a little tricky backing down the driveway into the road since there’s not enough room to turn around, but it’s not a big deal. Overall it was a great experience!

Not so great
Our first night, there was a mouse in the living room and mouse poop behind the couch. The house is very old. They only left 6 towels and there are 8 people. It’s a lake house and there were no beach towels. The fire pit is non existing. It’s on the side of a hill you can barely get to so we weren’t able to have a fire which we were really looking forward to. It was so hot upstairs I’m glad I brought my personal fan. It was fine otherwise, but ultimately disappointing.

Renter beware- very disappointing rental is on loud highway, stinky septic issues, and pics mislead
I have never had a bad VRBO or Vacasa experience like this. Cost of rental does not match property. The pictures and description are far beyond reality. I’ve waited almost a week to hear back from local property manager with no response. The highway is understated in pictures but is intensely loud highway. No one could hear each other speak on deck and we were all woken violently at 5 each morning. Sounds like cars will drive in house even with windows shut. We noticed awful smell on first morning so traced it to the side yard where we found stinky bubbling sludge pooling. I used messaging in app and called to try to get help as it looked to be seeping into their garage. Late afternoon a few young men came by spending a couple of minutes looking at sludge pool. They dismissed it as mountain rainwater runoff. The terrible stink and bubbling continued through stay increasing with any shower or flush. Smell drove us inside or huddled to far end of deck. The pictures are very lovely but misrepresent the size of lot, location relative to highway and quality of property and the furnishings. I really think price needs to be adjusted and pictures should be aligned to reality. We loved the Pend Orielle area but felt tricked and taken on our experience with property. Still waiting for any contact 6 days after my call.

Hope Get-Away
This was the perfect location for my family to stay while visiting Clark Fork, Sandpoint, and Silverwood. The views of Lake Pend orielle from many of the rooms and front porch was stunning. The kitchen was nice for cooking and there were plenty of space for us all to hang out. Our only complaint was it lacks air conditioning so it was very very warm. They do provide fans in each bedroom which helped a lot. Overall a very charming place.
