About this property

Share our lake paradise

The kids are gone, the dock is empty, and this place is too special not to share. We've converted the upstairs into a one bedroom apartment for your enjoyment. It features a queen size bed and the kitchen/ dining area includes a set of twin bunk beds. All rooms share views of Lake Pend Oreille and the Selkirk Mountains, We just built a ramp directly from parking to the front door. Our home is surrounded by giant cedar trees and looks across the lake at Sandpoint (6 mile drive) and Schweitzer Mountain (18 mile drive). Full access to all other property amenities featuring our fire pit (Smores anyone?) and hot tub in the Winter, or the dock, BBQ pit, waterslide and lake in the Summer. Additional amenities include a heated ski room and expert equipment maintenance on request in the winter, plus on-site boat moorage in the summer. We also now offer half-price Schweitzer tickets for up to two guests during the winter. But what truly sets this property apart is having the owners as a full time resource. We raised our kids here, know all the local activities and destinations, and can help you solve unanticipated travel needs. Sort of a concierge service.

Little piece of paradise
We had an absolute amazing time at Shep and Joy's place. The water slide, garden, and kitty cat made being on the lake extra special. Shep and Joy were especially kind to our children. We will stay again!

Charming property with great views
A lovely base camp to spend a few days in the Sandpoint area. A 10-12 minute drive to downtown made for the perfect mix of seclusion while still having access to all that sandpoint offers. The hosts (Shep and Joy) are very friendly and welcoming.

A Serene Retreat
Shep and Joy have a beautiful home, it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. Shep drew us a map and listed out the various xc skiing options for our weekend in Sagle, so helpful! And we loved soaking in the hot tub afterwards with that amazing view!

Gorgeous spot on the lake with the most gracious hosts
My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for three nights and had a wonderful time. The property is clean, beds are comfy, and you have access to the lakefront from their dock. We rented kayaks from our hosts, and they were helpful getting us out on the water. Shep and Joy are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Highly recommend staying here.

Great property! Great hosts!
Our family of four had a great time at this location. The accommodations were clean and just the right size for us. Despite not having a kitchen, it was well equipped with many kitchen tools and utensils that were useful. Our kids loved swimming by the dock and the slide. The hosts were beyond caring and informative. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

Great experience
Beautiful property. We loved our stay and sad we didn’t have time to enjoy the dock and lake. Owners were wonderful. Shep greeted us upon arrival, and shared area information with us. Although the VRBO was above the owners living area, we never saw them, but made himself available if we did need something. Definitely stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful Trip
We went to the lake house with our 3 year old and 18 month old. It was the perfect trip for their ages because we could play on the dock and yard, or go to the beach in Sandpoint. They both had a great time and even cried when we left. The host is super kind and the whole experience was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Shep Snow

Host profile image
We're both career military officers and travelled all over the USA and the World for 30 years. Shep is now the director of an alpine ski racing team, and also runs an avalanche school. Joy is an avid skier, sailor and kayaker when not keeping a lid on things at home.

Why they chose this property

As we prepared to retire from the military we searched for a small town to raise our children. Another essential ingredient was finding a place where we could pursue our hobbies of skiing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, etc, etc. Sandpoint has it all!

What makes this property unique

Our home offers the quiet of the South shore while being minutes away from downtown Sandpoint. Most of the residences on our road are vacant in the Winter, and few things are finer than sitting in the hot tub, gazing at lights across the lake with the only sounds being snowflakes floating through the trees. In the Summer, the lake gives us fast and easy access to everything town has to offer.
