About this property

A remodeled two-story house on beautiful Camp Bay near Sandpoint, ID. Steps to the dock and beach swimming area. We have a boat lift at the dock that can accept up to a 24-foot boat, or you can moor your boat at the dock. A fire pit is located on a bluff near the house with a panoramic view of the bay and the mountains across the lake. The two-story home has three bedrooms, allowing six people to sleep. One queen size bed in the master and two Twin/Full bunk beds. One fold-out sofa bed in the living room can sleep an additional person, and one more fold-out sofa on the lower floor can sleep an extra person. The setting, near the woods, provides many opportunities to walk along the bay or through the forest. Mountain biking, jogging, and kayaking (three are provided for your use) offer ample opportunities for outdoor activities. Fishing can be done from the dock, and the kayaks can be used for paddling and sightseeing along the bay. The house is fully furnished and has a large-screen television downstairs with DVD movies, a pool table, and a small bar. Upstairs is the full kitchen, with a range/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, cooking pots/pans, silverware, dinnerware, etc. The water is filtered with an ultraviolet (UV) system but pumped from the lake. The water is tested and certified drinkable by the testing lab. Onsite security cameras outside. In a Quiet Residental Neighborhood with parking for up to three vehicles. Our neighbors help keep an eye out for each other and enjoy their peace: no RV parking or hookups. The living room also has a flat-screen TV. plus a DVD player and access to two large decks that provide a panoramic view of Camp Bay. A gradual stairway (83 steps to the dock) provides access to an open fire pit and the dock and beach area. The yard is a steep hillside with gorgeous views but no flat yard or a place for toddlers. Camp Bay is very peaceful and provides a relaxing place to enjoy beautiful Lake Pend Oreille and the national forest lands that surround it. This is heaven on earth!

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.

Another great stay at Camp Bay

We enjoyed our stay in Camp Bay again. The house was clean and tidy, well-stocked and the owner left some treats for our family upon arrival. Internet speeds are good so you can stay connected. The bay and and the views from the home are amazing. We will most definitely be back.

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.

Just what we were looking for! The house had everything we needed to self-cater, and the location on a quiet bay is wonderful. Owners are easy to communicate with and house was spotless. Pool table and movies were a hit when we weren’t on the water. Thanks!

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!

Beautiful views!

The property owner met us at the property, provided us with keys, gave a quick walk through of the property and amenities, and left freshly made huckleberry pastries, which was very nice. The property was very clean, plenty of towels and a variety of coffee pods for the keurig. However, we brought our own coffee and there was a standard coffee maker. The property is a ways out of Sagle, but a beautiful drive with lots of deer and turkeys. Very nice boat dock and manual lift. Use the lift, even though it's manual, we left our boat out overnight and ended up with some dock scuff, because even though very little wind, there were some big rollers coming into the bay in the mornings. Boat trailer parking is a bit of a challenge as the road coming in is narrow and limited parking, as with most lakefront properties. Luckily we have friends in Sagle to leave the trailer, it was just easier. Overall, very nice two story home with plenty of room, great decks and great views, which is what we were looking for. Didn't mind the steep stairs to lake, since we don't get much exercise on vacation, this helped make up some of the difference. Hope and Beyond Hope is across the bay with two fabulous restaurants we enjoyed boating over to for dinner and/or lunch, same with Sandpoint, where there is a nice marina in the heart of town.

Amazing! Perfect views, great owners!

The house was perfectly appointed. Everyone in our party was very comfortable. John and Mel welcomed us and made us feel 110% at home. The property overlooks lake Pend Oreille, and the view was absolutely stunning. We caught several nice fish off the dock, and there are alot of deer near the bay that you'll see in mornings and evenings. We would count 20-30 most nights driving back home from dinner. Would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend to my friends and family. Thanks John and Mel for a wonderful trip!

Wonderful home in a great location overlooking Camp Bay! John and Melody were friendly and attentive hosts, and the home’s amenities and views were exactly what we were looking for. Enjoyed the dock and the pool table especially. Peaceful beyond measure - even watched an eagle fly right past us on the deck with a large trout in its talons our first evening there. Lots of wildlife, good walks and views every direction you look.

About the host

Hosted by John Kearns

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.
