Quiet get away

Exactly what we were looking for. A quiet location to get away. The hosts were awesome, made sure we had everything we needed. The house was more than we expected. It had such a homey feel. The kitchen had everything you need and more. Great deck with a great view. If ever in the area again will definitely be back.

Beautiful, peaceful space!

My family stayed here on the way to Canada. Jim and Juanita are the perfect hosts! Directions to the house were easy to follow, and Jim met us when we pulled in. He showed us around the space, and let us know there was some complimentary snacks and food. The beds were comfortable and everything is very clean. Definitely a more fun and enjoyable experience than staying at a hotel! Be sure to do the bear scavenger hunt game that Juanita put together and see if you can count all the bears!

This is where you can experience true “off the grid” vacationing. You are truly in authentic, beautiful, northern Idaho where the scenery is unbeatable and there is no one nearby for miles. The property is self sufficient. This is the answer for a rustic, restful, scenic stay off the beaten path. We will return again.

Off the beaten path and beautiful

We were only around for a quick overnight stop on our way from Spokane to Glacier, but this was a pleasant stop that we would totally do again when we have more time. The hosts thought of so many little details to make us feel welcome in this beautiful, off-grid property. Comfortable beds and cozy surroundings in this quaint spot made for a nice stopover.

Very Accomodating and Great View!

Stayed at the Sleepy Bear Lodge with my wife and daughter during a heat wave. Each day was over 100 degrees F and that pretty much put a damper on our outdoor plans to hike and horseback ride. BUT we enjoyed a very comfortable stay and essentially remained lazy (which is probably what we needed). We would highly recommend this lodge for those who are more in tune with a semi-wilderness vacation than being pampered in a luxery hotel somewhere. The view north from the deck is absolutely breathtaking. Spent many hours outside there in the cool of the evenings. Adding this to our top locations and memories we have experienced!

Great place!

We loved our stay! Great host ,wonderful view, great getaway! The road in can be a challenge this time of year 4x4 or all wheel drive would be a plus! The pin for it is in bonnersferry but it is about 10 miles north witch makes the view all that much better! Jim is a fantastic host! Thanks again for a great place!

Priceless

I can't express how wonderful our week was in Northern Idaho. It was such a beautiful place to experience and the memories of our time together are priceless. Jim and Nita were wonderful hosts that made sure we had what we needed but also respected our privacy. They have put so much heart and soul into their VRBO. It was tastefully decorated with a lodge feel and of course, Bears. Every detail was well thought out. The place was clean and was well stocked with everything that we needed. The beds, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable. They had fans in each bedroom and plenty of space for hanging/storing clothing, jackets, shoes etc.. The kitchen was well stocked and even included cans of soup, some snacks and water bottles in the fridge. The living space had board games, puzzles, Readers digest, a tv for streaming shows or movies and lots of extra throw blankets. The North deck had a grill, a fire pit, outdoor seating and AMAZING views. We were also very impressed with the quality of the construction, the furniture, the beds and the bedding and the decor. It's a bit of an adventurous drive up to their place but that only added to the experience. I hope we get the chance to Soar with the Eagles and Hibernate with the Bears again in the future. Jim and Nita - Thank you for your hospitality and for the parting gift. Your place really felt like a home away from home. Wishing you all the best 🙏

Quite a Getaway!

A comfortable, quiet, unique place to relax and enjoy the view. The host greeted us and showed us all the details of the place she checked on us through out our stay to see if we needed anything. The place is fully stocked with everything including snacks.

The owners provided EVERYTHING from soup, bottled water, laundry detergent. The cabin was so cute and efficient. Very comfortable. AND did I say CUTE? If you can count all the bears in the cabin...you could win $10.00 off your stay. We were close. Super CLEAN and quiet. It was my favorite place of our trip.

Beautiful, cozy, and thoughtful.

You won't find better hosts! Jim and Nita were incredibly thoughtful, sweet and practical. The cabin was a great space for my mother in law to have her own room, and my kiddos to have cozy sleeping spaces (hide-a-bed). The road was well maintained gravel and a gorgeous drive!

This is a great spot for a getaway or if you’re just passing through. You won’t find a view of the mountains like this one in Bonner’s Ferry. The owners were accommodating and friendly. Make sure to bring a car that can handle dirt roads!

Very relaxing and beautiful

The property was located on the side of a mountain and very quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed hearing all the sounds of nature. Able to see deer and wild turkeys close to the house. Places to hike were available. The property was very clean and beautifully designed. Property owners had great communication and made checkin/out very easy.

Off Grid Getaway

Cozy cabin off grid! Set up with everything you need to cook; pots, pans, spices, oils, crockpot and snacks. Super cozy and even with being off grid, you have all the amenities you need; especially with kids. You are out of town and off the beaten track. We were in a truck with 4x4 and made it with ease, but something to consider. Beautiful views and excellent hosts who are on site- helpful and there if you need, but you still have that private feel. Our kids loved "the cabin" and we would for sure re book when we are back in the area!

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is it is not a motel or hotel but a home in the mountains of Northern Idaho. With rivers , mountains, valley, open sky and wildlife just outside your door. It is a chance to experience Gods creation up front and in person. You may want to BBQ your favorite dish in our spacious Pagoda then relax to natures sounds and quiet peace. Its not for everyone, it’s not ordinary. It is a special place for special people.
