Perfect weekend on Priest Lake

The house is lovely. We had 4 adults staying as 2 couples. It felt like plenty of space for all of us. The 2 queen beds were comfy and had plenty of pillows and blankets to use. I really appreciate the quality of the bath towels. Nothing feels better than a clean fluffy bath towel after a shower. The shower and toilet functioned well. It’s called the Treehouse. Be mindful that this place has stairs. 2 up onto the porch. In door. 3 up to a corner landing, then 15 up to the main living area. If you bring a lot, you’re going to be getting your exercise lol. But it’s worth it. The beach and dock were great. We have a 24’ chaparral. Didn’t have any issues getting tied up there. We would absolutely rent this place again!

Nice cabin in a lovely area!

Priest Lake is lovely and we have been wanting to stay out there for a while now. This was a great spot for our trip. The cabin was nice and comfortable. The peeps of the lake from the cabin were welcome. We love being among trees. The access to their little beach and dock was awesome. Unfortunately due to weather we didn’t get to spend much time outside with our two toddlers as we’d planned to do but we know it would’ve been amazing to spend our full day there by the water if we could’ve. My husband brought our family’s boat, too, which was so nice to have the option to keep it in the water during our two night stay. It was just too windy and cool to use it with the kids but we appreciated the dock access. Host communications were great: timely and friendly. They were flexible about check in and out timing and that was much appreciated. Thank you!!!

Relaxing retreat at the lake

Our family had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the treehouse at the lake. There are wonderful views of the lake and the hosts allowed us to use their lakefront which is only 200 yards from the front door. The accommodations were beautiful and masterfully crafted with all amenities needed.

Wonderful stay at the lake!

This property is in a perfect location, with lake, beach and dock access. Owners couldn’t be nicer and very helpful. The house was so clean and comfortable. Only thing that was missing was a microwave, but not a big deal for us. We had the best week staying at the tree house.

Priest Lake

Located in a residential area, which was a bit of a surprise. The surrounding area is very pretty, and there is direct access to the lake. The overall view of the lake is somewhat obstructed by the primary residence and some large trees. The immediate lake access is shallow water. Very nice unit but there are a lot of stairs to maneuver getting to the unit from the main level, which is a garage. Being on the older side, it was a bit of a challenge getting our gear up and down.

Priest lake tree house

We really loved this place. High above a really sweet garage and surrounded by tall pines, it felt like a tree house. Huge deck with a nice grill that we used a few times. Nice decor inside and well appointed. Really liked the kitchen and bath. Easy access to the lake. Recommended.

Absolutely wonderful

Instructions were super clear, had everything we needed, and more! The owners happened to be in the main cabin when we got back from kayaking (in the snow) and they came out and we’re the nicest people ever with cute little dogs. The extra blankets were soooo cozy and all the games and puzzles were super nice. Will be back again in warmer weather lol

Relaxing stay in Priest Lake!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was a perfect mid-point for us to be able to explore all the different groomed XC ski areas (they're amazing!). The host was responsive & quick to resolve a small issue at check-in; there is a caretaker on site in the main home which expedited the process. We were grateful for the host being willing to allow us a late check-out!

Very comfortable and cozy cabin!

We all enjoyed our stay very much! We weren’t sure how 6 adults would do with one bathroom, but it turned out great. Only a couple of things were missing that we just assumed would be available there. There’s no microwave or tea kettle so we couldn’t make microwave popcorn which we all brought and with that and tea kettle not available its hard to make tea or hot chocolate. One of the ladies mentioned if there was a mirror on the bedroom walls it would take the pressure off the bathroom when we’re all trying to get ready🥴 But overall we loved your home, very beautifully done and very comfortable. We loved the fireplace and big screen tv!! And thanks so much for all your prompt responses when I had a question! We would all love to come back again! Thanks!

Winter Wonderland

I had an amazing time at the cabin with my wife and our 3 children. We got to enjoy the fresh snow and the beautiful landscape. There are several cool sledding hills in walking distance. We even had the chance to wake up to a group of deers walking around in the snow on Christmas morning: truly magical! The cabin itself is gorgeous and well furnished, and the hosts are really nice and helpful. I heavily recommend this place for a family getaway! We're already thinking about coming back either for next Christmas or in the summer.

About the host

Your host

We are Nancy and Ray Rogers. We have a lovely family with 3 adult children and three dogs. We have lived on Maui, Hawai'i for over 20 years. Back in 2009, we came to Priest Lake to visit Nancy's sister (whose cabin is just down the street). We originally planned to stay briefly, but ended up extending our trip for the full week. We fell in love with Priest Lake instantly.

Why they chose this property

After several years of dreaming about owning a cabin on Priest Lake, we were lucky enough to find the perfect one! This cabin was originally home to the Triplett family for several decades. Stories have passed down through their children, grandchildren and our neighbors; Dunbar on his short wave radio with his own special code to invite neighbors over for cocktails, Esther raking up the pine needles and baking her famous homemade cookies while Dunbar carved tikis. And WOW, what a special connection when we heard Esther's favorite places in the world are Priest Lake and Maui.

What makes this property unique

When we purchased the cabin in 2014, we wanted to honor those before us who loved Priest Lake and allowed us the immense privilege to carry on into the next generation. The cabin has been completely rebuilt using virtually every piece of the old cabin - from cabinets, to walls and floors - and now spans 2500 square feet, with a detached 3-car garage. Over two summers, with a lot of help from our friends and family (led by Ray), piece by piece, we disassembled the old cabin, de-nailing every board and stacking them to be ready to use on the new cabin. The garage now has a beautiful 2 BR apartment upstairs. We call it the Treehouse, as the shimmering lake views through the trees from the living room and balcony make you feel as if you are living in the canopy with the squirrels and birds.
