About this property

The Lakeshore Lodge is a stunning, 5-bedroom retreat on the shores of beautiful Lake Pend O'Reille. Located at the end of a tranquil, traffic-free lane, Lakeshore Lodge offers blissful seclusion yet is only 3 minutes from the Dover Bay community and 7 minutes from Sandpoint, Idaho - voted America's 'Most Beautiful Small Town' by USA Today and Rand McNally.

Lakeshore Lodge is all North Idaho - big beams, big trees, big views - but step inside and you'll discover a retreat that is more chic than rustic: the wood and stainless steel kitchen; the ridiculously comfortable leather sofa set; the elegant tiled bathrooms; the spacious bedrooms (all but one facing the lake); the ample second-floor deck; the jacuzzi etc.

Just a few steps from the front door brings you to our private deck and L-shaped dock. You'll enjoy this special spot all year round: swimming, boating, paddling or just admiring the glorious views across the lake with a glass of wine in hand.

The expansive backyard is big enough for a family soccer match and includes a large jungle gym for the little ones. The back deck is perfect for barbecuing and has a large jacuzzi for relaxing tired muscles after a long day skiing at Schweitzer or hiking the area's numerous trails.

The Lakeshore Lodge has five bedrooms: two on the ground floor and three (including the master) on the second floor. The standard bed set up is three queens, one twin and a double set of bunk beds (big enough for adults.) We've also got a high-quality queen blow-up bed for bigger groups. Two big families? Three couples? No problem.

It has three bathrooms: one downstairs (2 sinks, 1 shower, 1 toilet) and two upstairs (master en suite with 2 sinks + shared bathroom for the other two bedrooms.)

Other appliances / amenities of note: LCD TV with cable, DVD player, wine fridge (I can stock with bottles from my collection if you're interested), gas fireplace with hearth.

Another plus: my property manager is your next door neighbor, and my relatives are all over town. There will always be somebody who can help if you have any issues or need local guidance on where to go and what to see!

Awesome week at the lake!

Wonderful property, perfect for family getaway! House was immaculate yet homey with everything needed to enjoy a week at the lake. Grandsons loved the outdoor play space and yard. Dock was perfect to park boat, swim and fish. We will be back!

5 days on the lake

All in our family group repeatedly commented on how very nice the Lake Lodge was: lake location, inside spaces, bed/bathrooms,, laundry,totally outfitted kitchen, outside spaces, waterside spaces, backyard. Scott checked on us on first day and Bridgette, next door, always available by phone or in person for questions. We all very satisfied with our stay. Hopefully can return.

Fantastic Stay

We loved our stay! The house was clean and fit our needs perfectly. The neighborhood is quiet and the lake is absolutely beautiful. The amenities at the home are fantastic. The bedding and towels are great, two refrigerators, two dryers for beach towels, a big back yard and large dock worked really well for our family. We will definitely rent this property again!

A slice of heaven

What a beautiful house with an amazing view! This property has everything for all ages. The kids loved swimming, playing in the big yard, going for bike rides and having a fire while the adults appreciated having a shady spot to watch them and a well stocked house to prepare family meals and enough rooms for everyone to have their own space ( 6 adults and 6 kids). Plus, it’s only a 40 minute drive to Silverwood! We will hope to make a return trip in the future! We’d give it 10 stars if we could!

Favorite Vacation

Lakeshore Lodge is the most beautiful, well equipped, comfortable VRBO my family has ever stayed in. Plenty of room for our family of 10. My husband and I had separate rooms on the ground floor which is perfect for us. Kids and grandkids shared the upstairs. We even set up the fold out air bed in the laundry room, which was great for our only grandson. He didn't have to share a room with the girls. Most of our time was spent swimming and jumping off the dock or out on the boat. The location is so beautiful we sat out front every evening to enjoy the sunset. Bridgette is the property manager and she lives next door. She made everything aspect of our check in/ check out process fast and easy. We all agreed that we would like to visit the lodge again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Peaceful Retreat

This is our 4th stay at this location and we absolutely love it! It is always clean, fully stocked with all you need, and quick friendly communication with the owners and property manager. This is an extremely peaceful and quiet part of Dover. We enjoyed several meals outside, multiple walks around Dover, including one where we saw a moose and it’s baby, and lots of water time. Many memories were made with our 4 generation family. Highly recommend!

We hope to visit again!

I had a wonderful time with my family at this property. Everything was perfect! The house had everything we needed to enjoy Christmas week as family. Scott and Bridget went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of and felt welcome in the house. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and everyone had plenty of room. We went skiing at Schweitzer every day and loved how close we were to the resort. Could not have asked for anything more!

Wonderful Winter Stay at Lakeshore Lodge

Lakeshore Lodge is a beautiful home in a wonderful location, only a few minutes from Sandpoint and 25 min to Schweitzer. We were two families of four and it was plenty of space for the eight of us. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and family room, the hot tub, and the neighborhood. It was fun walking around Dover, which is peaceful and pretty. We also liked eating at the Dish in Dover which is less than a mile away. We would definitely stay at this home again when we visit Sandpoint/Schweitzer.

Everything we wanted

This property is everything it shows online. Gorgeous views of the water and we had amazing fall colors. Our littles really enjoyed the play equipment and the trampoline! It was roomy enough for all 11 of us! Would definitely rent this property again! The Brixens were awesome to deal with and Bridgett was very helpful as well! Thank-you for making our family vacation amazing!!

Perfect family Summer Getaway

This is the 2nd stay at Lakeshore house for our family. It is the perfect getaway. The house has everything you need, just show up. The area is quiet and safe for children with little to no traffic. The yard is large enough for yard games and the little ones love the big toy. The dock can accommodate 2 boats easily and the lake is so quiet and private, it's your own giant pool. The lakeshore house is our favorite summer destination.

Wonderful place

We have been renting places for the past 10 years on Pend Orielle and this was one of our favorites! Very clean and lots of room for my family. The home is very well made and sound proof which was nice when we had 2 babies. It was also very well stocked with all the necessities we needed. The dock was great and the kids had a blast jumping into the water. It was big enough for all our floaties too! We will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Amazing house, amazing lake, amazing vacation

This was an incredible house for our party of 12, which included adults all the way down to a baby. The property is as described, if not better. Couple things to note - the house doesn't come with life jackets or lake toys. Bring your own or be prepared to rent from the marina that is just around the corner.

Wonderful lakeside home

Beautiful home. We rent homes a lot and this was the most equipped home we’ve ever stayed with kitchen tools, a huge dining table that easily folds out for 10, beach towels, lawn chairs, yard games, water toys - everything you could ever need. Home is wonderful, newer, and super clean and quiet. Great neighbors. Communication with managers (next door) was easy and responsive. Huge yard a big plus for outdoor games and water fights with the playground equipment a huge bonus for our three year olds. Great multi level dock with shaded area. The only slight downside would be no easy beachy access to water, especially for toddlers. Water access only from the dock. Firepit and hot tub available. House easily accesses walking/bike trail to Dover Bay and Sandpoint as well as close access to mountain biking park. All in all a great place to stay and one of our favorites. Would definitely return.

Fantastic lakefront property in the Sandpoint area!!!!

If you are looking for a fantastic lakefront property in the Sandpoint area with a highly communicative owner and property manager, look no farther than the Lakeshore Lodge! The location, lot/home size, cleanliness, and appointments throughout this property all add up to tremendous value and an excellent overall experience. We are a blended family with 5 kiddos and a larger extended family, all of our kids were excited by the bunk room, lake views, dock, and of course the hot tub out back!? During our stay, extended family dropped by for dinner and a bonfire by the lake and consistently shared how beautiful and nice both the property and home were, and all definitely put this property on their shortlist for the next time they visit Sandpoint. Bottom line, I’m a tough customer and Scott, Bridgett and the experience my family had while staying at the Lakeshore Lodge significantly exceeded my expectations! We’ll be back! :-)

About the host

Your host

Daddy Brixen grew up in Sandpoint and always dreamed of having a place on the lake. Mommy Brixen was born in Bangkok, moved to the USA with her family and later met Daddy at a Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong. Now Daddy and Mommy have got four boys (Tai, Logan, Drake & Kiva) who absolutely love the Lakeshore Lodge.

Why they chose this property

The first time you walk out on that dock, you'll understand. It is very, very difficult to find such a private, quiet spot on the lake that is located so close to town. I know, because I spent the first half of my life exploring Lake Pend O'Reille and the mountains surrounding it.
