About this property

Lakefront home on Bottle Bay with dock - plenty of room to spread out

4-bedroom, 3.5 bath home with decks, docks and great views. Week of Aug. 16-23 still available.

Families love our large open house right on the water on Lake Pend Oreille. Hang out on the dock, bring your boat or jet skis or rent nearby. Concerts, hiking, huckleberry picking. Our guests often tell us one week isn't long enough to experience all there is to see and do.

Fall and winter are also secret gems in North Idaho -- skiing, snowshoeing, curling up with a puzzle, game or good book is so much more fun with a dusting of snow outside, crisp air, and our mountain views.

Swim, boat, hike, bike - everything is accessible from our Bottle Bay getaway.

Venturing farther afield are day trips to Priest Lake or rafting the Clark Fork or Spokane rivers, hiking in the Cabinet or Selkirk Mountains, antique markets, hot springs, wineries, and a variety of summer specialty fairs. We are about an hour from Coeur d'Alene, 90 minutes from Spokane International Airport.

Nearby hiking and mountain biking trails include Gold Hill, Mineral Ridge, Pine St. Woods, and Schweitzer.

While the town of Sandpoint is relatively small, the variety of restaurants is sure to provide enough choices for discerning palates. Boat to a waterfront restaurant in minutes, jet ski to town to visit the twice-weekly farmer's market or shop. We have a book full of our favorite places to go to and eat at, and when you are here, you'll agree with many of our guests that a week just isn't enough.

Spacious, yet casual. Many custom construction features, built-in seating and storage, everything has been designed for modern comfort and maximum lake views and fun.

With a full dock and two PWC docks the warm waters of Bottle Bay will keep you busy. Guests rave about our fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to make a gourmet meal for your crew.

The open floor plan provides plenty of space for cooking and entertaining on the main floor, either inside or outside. Bathrooms are custom tiled with heated floors, large showers and multi-head shower jets. Bath and beach towels are provided. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, laundry soap, paper goods fully stocked.

Kitchen, dining area and living room flow together, with all providing view access to a wall of windows facing the water. Make yourself a latte with the super-automatic espresso maker (locally roasted coffee provided) and enjoy a quiet morning on the deck watching waterfowl. It's just a few steps to the dock and the lake, and the neighborhood provides quiet lanes for strolling.

The side deck is covered, providing shade in the afternoon.

A Beautiful Stay in Bottle Bay

The property was fantastic. The entire process from check-in to check-out was very smooth. The views were breathtaking any time of day. All of the amenities were beyond expectations. We highly recommend staying at this spacious home in Bottle Bay!

Great place on a great bay

We had a great time at the house. We took our 24 ft boat and the bay was calm enough, even during a windy day, that I was comfortable having it tied to the dock. The house was well appointed, and even had some sharp knives, which never happens in rentals:)

AMAZING BOTTLE BAY GETAWAY

We had an amazing time staying at this bottle bay home! The deck has an amazing view and we enjoyed watching hummingbirds come and go all day. When you walk into the home, we were blown away by the panoramic views of the lake from the main floor. The kitchen is large and spacious and the heated floors were an added plus! The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and caught quite a few smallmouth bass which kept them entertained. We loved our stay and are looking forward to next year! For those with young kids or those who prefer to sleep in the dark, I would suggest bringing blackout blinds or something of that nature as all the rooms get very bright by 4:30-4:45 AM each morning and doesn’t get dark in the rooms until 9:30 or so at night.

Perfect in every way!

Our family of up to 9 enjoyed this property so much. We spent most days on the dock and in the water on boats, jet skis, paddle boards, floaties.... We had fabulous weather and took full advantage of it. The house is extremely well appointed and stocked with everything you need. It is a cooks dream and very much appreciated by this group. Property manager and owner were responsive to any needs, however house was so well prepared we didn't require much from them. Can not wait to return.

One of the Best Lake House Experiences

This house was wonderful. The pictures really don't do the interior justice. There is so much attention to detail and interior design that just felt right. It was nice to see a house with such high quality of craftmanship. Our group was also impressed with the quality of the appliances, cookware and all the amenities that were available. In many rental homes, so many rooms are locked off, but this one made the lake toys, ping pong and even some tools available which came in handy. It felt more like we were staying with a friend. The lower master has a steam room and everyone kept taking turns with the steam shower. The mornings are simply amazing on the deck. The water is calm and we watched humming birds flit by us many times while eagles flew overhead. The sunsets were amazing as the sun set over the mouth of bottle bay. We have so many great pictures from this location. The property manager was attentive and enjoyable to work with. We have stayed at many rental homes and this one is quite possibly the nicest one and we are planning to rent it again next year.

And then some...

This property was all that...and then some. First of all, our family ended up visiting in later June during an all time record heat wave. Temperature highs were between 100-108 degrees every day. Thankfully the home was furnished with three air-conditioning units and fans so it was extremely pleasant to hang out in during the day as well as sleeping at night. AC isn't always a reality for lake houses in this part of the country but it was a real plus for our family. The dock is great for the kids and adults. You can jump off the dock into probably 12-15 feet of water and swim or float in tubes. There are 2 ladders leading up to the dock so easy in and out. We also fished from the dock and caught quite a few smallmouth bass. The water temperature was absolutely perfect, although the neighbors shared that nobody typically swims in the lake that time of year because its typically too cold. Well the weather obviously warmed the water and it was quite refreshing. The house itself was immaculate, clean, and had everything you needed to cook. We used the grill almost everyday and it was directly connected to a gas line so no propane needed. The kids loved that there was a smart tv and the home has Directv so almost everything you wanted to watch you could. Additionally, we had strong Wifi at the home so no issues with iPads or cell phones. I guess if you're looking to unplug for a week you might need to turn off your phone. Because you are in a remote location nothing is close by. Meaning, if you need anything from the store its a solid 30 minute drive. There is a little general store down the road about 15 minutes away in Garfield Bay called Odie's. They have what you'd typically find in a 7-Eleven with a large selection of beer! The road leading to the home and out to Sandpoint is very curvy and narrow at some points. I'd imagine it might be more difficult to navigate in the winter but during the summer it was pretty easy. Lots of deer and turkey along the roadsides. Another review said the bedrooms were like a hotel. Totally agree. Both masters are over the top with 5 star bathrooms attached. Something you'd probably never think you would find in a lake home. Again, the place was well kept and modern. We'd definitely return and if you plan on staying there during the summer I would highly suggest getting a boat to rent. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and there is a marina right across the bay, very convenient.

Fantastic views of the lake in an upscale house

This is one of the nicest rentals we've stayed in with our family. The huge windows showcased the lake from two angles, making the living area feel even more spacious and relaxing. The heated floors were awesome, furniture and beds were comfortable, and the huge kitchen area was perfect for making meals with a party of 6 coming in and out of the kitchen area. We would happily stay here again.

Great Lake Vacation

We loved this house, and would book it again if we come back to Idaho in the future. The house has great views, amazing star viewing at night, a great wide open kitchen/family room space, along with a nice dock. We rented a boat for the whole week, and would highly recommend this as well. Accessing restaurants on a boat is a lot more fun than driving.

Awesome week at Lake Pend Oreille!

Beautiful modern home on a remote lot on Bottle Bay. Spotlessly clean with amazing luxury touches throughout, including a steam shower in the downstairs master bath. Plenty of room for big families and guests. Wonderful kitchen with extras like an espresso maker. Composite decking on the house and dock so no splinters (thumbs up emoji!). Plenty of parking, and a turn around area to accommodate boat trailers. Great house manager who's been with the property since construction. Very responsive and treated us like family. The main floor is big and open with high ceilings, so it can get loud with lots of adults and kids talking at once. The a/c is from three Mitsubishi units (one in the main room, one in the master, and one centrally located downstairs). The temperature was well above average during our stay and the downstairs bedrooms got stuffy at night with the doors closed. During normal temps with the windows open it won't be a problem. It's near the end of a long gravel road, so plan for fewer trips out by car and use the boat instead!

Great Vacation for Active Family

Our 3-generation family of 12 gathered here for Grandma’s 70th birthday. We are a very active group, and the Smith house was perfect for us. We had lots of water toys and fishing gear, and the fun never stopped. We only left the house a couple of times, and that was to get more food for the troops! The home was spotless, the kitchen large and so well-equipped, plenty of seating both inside and out — it was everything “advertised” and more, including really nice neighbors. The only negative was that one week was not enough, and the family’s unanimous vote is that we will return!

Our boys loved the steam shower downstairs! The kitchen was the most well-equipped kitchen we've ever had in a rental home. It had almost every gadget and appliance you could think of. The view of the water was the best! Sunny side of the lake, large deck with protection for our boat. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
As longtime Alaska residents, our family of four has been spoiled by the natural beauty of the Last Frontier. Lake Pend Oreille is one of the few places we have found that can rival the natural splendor in our full-time home. The lake's nearby mountain ranges, warm-water recreational activities and cultural events are a wonderful change of pace for us. Sandpoint and the surrounding area have a friendly small-town vibe that made us feel comfortable the first time we visited.

Why they chose this property

We have considered building or buying a vacation home in ski towns and beach towns, and we feel the lake offers the best of both! Sandpoint and the Pend Oreille area have been recognized as summer and winter recreation meccas by Men's Health, Travel and Leisure, Rand McNally and more - this secret vacation paradise is gaining greater attention, and when you are at Bottle Bay, you'll see why.

Schweitzer Ski Resort isn't too far away, there are numerous cross-country trails in the region.

During the summer months, Bottle Bay is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy early morning wildlife or beautiful sunset barbecues.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, amazing sunsets, easy access to the water, cooling off on warm summer days with a jump in the lake from the private dock. Life is good in Bottle Bay!
