About this property

Waterfront House On Camp Bay, near Sandpoint with Dock and swimming area.

Escape to Lakeside Paradise: Your Camp Bay Retreat Awaits!

Imagine waking up to breathtaking views of sparkling Lake Pend Oreille, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Idaho mountains. This completely remodeled two-story home, nestled on the shores of picturesque Camp Bay near Sandpoint, offers the ultimate vacation escape.

Your Private Waterfront Playground:

Step outside and you're just moments away from your own private slice of paradise. A short stroll leads you to the dock and beach swimming area, where the refreshing waters of the lake beckon. Bring your boat and enjoy the convenience of a boat lift (suitable for up to a 24-foot boat) or moor it securely at the dock.

Panoramic Views & Cozy Evenings:

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, gather around the fire pit nestled on a scenic bluff, offering a panoramic vista of the bay and the majestic mountains that line the lake. Share stories, roast marshmallows, and create unforgettable memories under the starlit sky.

Comfort & Space for Everyone:

Inside, the beautifully appointed 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, two-story home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. The master bedroom features a luxurious queen-size bed, while two additional bedrooms boast cozy Twin/Full bunk beds. For added flexibility, you'll find a comfortable fold-out sofa bed in the living room, plus another fold-out sofa downstairs.

Adventure & Relaxation Await:

Explore the natural beauty that surrounds you! Lace up your hiking shoes and wander along the tranquil bayside or explore the nearby forest trails. Mountain biking and jogging opportunities are plentiful. Three kayaks are provided for your use, inviting you to paddle along the calm waters of the bay, discover hidden coves, and soak in the scenic beauty. Cast a line from the dock or enjoy fishing from a kayak.

Entertainment & Amenities for All:

The downstairs entertainment area features a large-screen TV with DVD movies, a pool table, and a small bar – perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Upstairs, the fully equipped kitchen makes meal preparation a breeze with its range/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and all the cooking essentials you'll need. The home also boasts a UV filtered water system, tested and certified drinkable by a lab, for your peace of mind.

Breathtaking Views From Every Angle:

Relax on one of the two spacious decks, each offering incredible panoramic views of Camp Bay. Enjoy a morning coffee, a family meal, or simply soak in the tranquility of your surroundings.

A Tranquil Setting:

Please note that this beautiful home is in a quiet residential neighborhood with on-site security cameras and parking for up to three vehicles. Our neighbors respect each other's peace and tranquility. RV parking and hookups are not available. The gradual stairway (83 steps) to the dock and beach area offers unique access, and the yard is a scenic hillside, making it less suitable for toddlers to play on.

Your Dream Vacation Awaits:

Camp Bay offers a truly tranquil and idyllic setting to experience the splendor of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding national forest lands. It's the perfect place to reconnect with nature, relax, and create lasting memories with loved ones. Come discover your heaven on earth!

Wonderful Location on Camp Bay! We'll Be Back!!!

We have stayed at multiple properties on Lake Pend Oreille over the years, but this location on the lake was our favorite! Quiet, peaceful, very little boat traffic. House is great - updated, multiple A/C units for comfort, well appointed, tons of DVD's to watch at night, pool table and more towels than you could ever use! Outside the deck tables and chairs are great, the dock is perfect for relaxing and swimming and there is even a boat lift (very important on this lake if you keep a boat in the water overnight!!!). Also, for those familiar with the area but haven't been in a couple of years, Camp Bay Rd. has been paved all the way to the lake! Things to keep in mind for your visit - Lots of stairs to the water but you get accustomed to them quickly (bring coolers to pack down to the dock, leave them, refill with ice and items as needed on trips to and from the house); there is only a charcoal grill (no gas grill), and you need to bring your own briquettes (stop at the Dollar General at the corner of HWY 95 and Sagle Rd.); the house water is on a pump and will stop briefly on occasion (10-15 seconds), so don't panic, it always comes back on!; You have to pack out your own trash to the local refuse station (opens at 8:00 AM) about 10 minutes from the house - there is a pass on the welcome table, remember to bring it with you to dump for free, but you do have to return the pass to the house, so you can't dump your trash on your way out, you'll need to make an extra trip.

Amazing lake view

What you see is what you get. Rustic home with amazing views. Definitely not for young children or seniors due to stairs down to the lake & dock which is worth the climb. Nature at its best with humming birds, white tail deer, bald eagles and fish jumping. Only downside is the current construction all day long due to the development of 450 acres just three doors down from property. Bring your ear buds and you will be OK.

July 2024 Stay

We stayed here for 6 nights in July-August 2024. We had great communication with the hosts and all of our questions were addressed. The cabin is a 30 minute drive from Sandpoint. Parking was limited to 1 or 2 vehicles as the cabin backs onto a steep hill. The cabin was well stocked with a gorgeous view. The beds were comfortable with nice linens and towels. The cabin could use more plates, a new toaster, and new pots and pans. The cabin was quite clean other than being somewhat dusty under furniture, on the blinds, and on the window sills. The flow of water from the taps/shower heads occasionally slowed/stopped but would usually start flowing again after a minute or so. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and had a lot of fun kayaking, playing pool, watching movies, and playing cards on the deck with our teenagers. We did not have a fire in the fire pit as the conditions were dry. There was a small old briquette grill but briquettes are not supplied. We were required to take the garbage to a transfer station that was a 10-15minute drive away. The portable air conditioning units in the two upper bedrooms were wonderful to cool off the upper level on the very hot days. Overall we enjoyed our vacation at this quiet and private cabin.

Nice Lake House

We had everything we needed for a great relaxing stay at this lake house. Beautiful setting with an abundance of birds in the area. There were only a couple of drawbacks: The hosts asked that all accumulated trash be driven over to Garfield Bay. Also, the house is advertised as sleeping 7, but there is an "extra person charge" of $25 per person per night for any people over 2 guests. We had four people there and were charged an extra $250 for five nights.

Beautiful place

Beautiful house, amazing views. We had a wonderful time. House is right on the water and the neighborhood is fully if wildlife. We saw lots of deer, turkey, bald eagles and a couple moose. The lake is super clean and all around the area are great water resources. Silverwood is about 50 minutes away, groceries about 45mins to Sandpoint. Many good shopping and dining places in Sandpoint. The house was well stocked for our needs and John even provided pastries and wine to start off the vacation. What a wonderful stay :)

Beautiful lake cabin

The property is just beautiful. It's right above the lake and includes a dock with a boat lift and kayaks. It is decorated well, and has everything you could possibly want. We saw dear, wild turkey, geese, Elk, and even bald eagles. It really is a breathtaking view. The owners were very friendly and even brought us baked goods and other treats throughout the week. There was a step that broke and John came right away to fix it. This is the only time I have rented a VRBO where the owners were present. Check in was in person and included signing contracts in person. The rules are clear and there is an expectation of compliance. We will definitely be back. This was a great experience.

235 S Campbay Rd

Great location away from the commercialized parts of the lake. Was surprised there was no potable water. Had to use bottled water for drinking, coffee, brushing teeth. Water system was lake water with UV filter. Water smelled like lake water. Toilets, faucets had lots of air and very loud hammering at times. Lots of discoloration in water. Grandson has a medical issue that requires potable water for bathing and cleaning medical tubing which made our stay problematic. Very nice location but the water issue should have been disclosed in the listing. Would not stay again. Also had some exposed wiring down low that could be an issue for toddlers. We made the best of our stay but will not return nor would we recommend. No potable water should be disclosed up front. We would not have rented had we known that.

Beautiful View...Quiet and Relaxing

My family (4 adults & 2 children) recently spent six nights at this beautiful home right on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille. The views are stunning from any of the three decks!! Wonderful things we enjoyed: 1. This house has everything. Just bring your food! 2. We loved the dock, the kayaks & refreshing lake water. My grandson and I caught 2 trout right off the dock one evening. 3. The Wifi was excellent along with the dozens and dozens of DVD movies. 4. With two levels --there was plenty of room to move around and yet find a quiet place if we needed it. The beds had nice quality sheets and blankets. Bottom level has a walk-out deck, TV room, game table (which we loved) with all kinds of fun board games, pool table and the cutest little bar with microwave and small fridge! Also, a washer and dryer. 4. Cleanliness was a 5-star as was communication with the owners. We were greeted with fresh huckleberry pastries. Thanks Melody -- it's these small touches that make a vacation rental awesome! 5. So quiet here as it's on a bay with dead-end road fand few houses. However, in a year or two---- there will be more houses as they are selling lots right now. Not So Positive: 1. The listing said "air conditioning." We have spent a many summer weeks throughout the years in a cabin that had no air so I was looking so forward to a/c. However, the a/c can only be found in the 2 main level bedrooms. Not enough to keep the whole house cool. I slept in the non a/c bedroom and it was hot at night as I couldn't open the window the first two nights because of the smoke. After that, it was okay when the smoke cleared. 2. The listing also said that check-out was 11am. The contract that I signed when I got there stated 10am. 3. I have never experienced VRBO neighbors that was so unkind. I know the owners have no control over this! I have never had a complaint against my family until now. Apparently, playing games INSIDE at midnight -- we were too loud as texted to the owner. Also, a complaint that the music coming from the dock was loud. (We couldn't even hear the music up at the house.) The same neighbor's hubby used the F-word several times when my husband kindly asked to turn away in his driveway. It was very sad to experience. But, these "neighbors" would certainly NOT deter us from going back! We had an AWESOME memorable time! Thank you again John and Melody!

About the host

Hosted by John Kearns

Host profile image
We, John and Melody, purchased this property in 2013, remodeled it and have used it for summer and winter vacations. We want to offer others the chance to enjoy this property as we have. We live in Coeur' d alene Idaho.John loves to boat. Melody is a designer at heart and tries to make this a fun place for our kids and family to visit. Its been a place to help get our older kids off the electronics. This is a quiet neighborhood. Cell phones don't always work, so they often explore, play games and use the firepit to make smores. We have a growing collection of movies.We love to go to the Captains Table for dinners or stop for snack attacks at Odie's General Store in Garfield Bay. If we need more there's always the stores in Sandpoint, or the larger grocery stores, one can stop at Pie Hut for dessert to go.

Why they chose this property

It's located on a beautiful and quiet Camp Bay, with a view of the Cabinet Mountains and expansive Lake Pend Oreille. Eagles soar and catch fish in the bay.
The breezes pick up at night as do the waves. It is relaxing to hear the waves sounding like ocean waves (is your boat on the lift or securely tied up?) just outside the french door off the master bedroom.

What makes this property unique

This peaceful setting on Camp Bay offers visitors the chance to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Lake Pend Oreille with only the soothing sound of a breeze through the trees and the occasional cry of an eagle flying overhead with a freshly caught fish in its talons. Come and enjoy this experience for yourself! Also, excellent fishing for huge Rainbows and Lake Trout in the largest lake in Idaho.
