Rented the cottage for overflow from our daughters wedding. The location was perfect for us and the cottage was new, very cute, and well appointed! Would recommend to anyone coming to Sandpoint, located nicely in-between Schweitzer as well as the downtown area.

Sandpoint Summer Family Vacay
Stunning cottage! Honestly felt like we were staying with close family. Everything they could think of to make the home feel modern, cozy and convenient was provided. Probably the nicest we have stayed in with a wonderful kitchen, cozy soft beds, pillows and linens and everything you could possibly need throughout your stay. The area is a little industrial but still felt very safe, quiet and close to everything we needed. Monica was such a pleasure to communicate with and created the most welcoming information package and gift basket. We had a family of 4, made the drive up from Alberta, Canada and enjoyed our first visit to Sandpoint. Silverwood theme park was less than 30 minutes away, a nice drive.

Amazing Cottage!!!
Family camping at Riley Creek nearby and my Aunt (72), Cousin (52), and myself, (55) stayed at this cottage instead of a tent 🙂 This place was beautiful. Comfortable beds, A/C worked great in 100 degrees, very clean, great amenities down to beach bags/towels/kids beach toys, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, and was super cute! Hosts thought of everything to make your stay great! While we commuted every day and spent most our time at the campground, am very familiar with area, so cottage is very well located...basically a mile to everything...and if you dont know Sandpoint, such a cute town with tons of summer stuff to do for adults and families. Limited parking which is fully disclosed, suggestion to mark parking space in front of unit. I have done several VRBO rentals and this one was top notch!

Wonderful Mini Adventure
We came from Canada for a short visit to explore Sandpoint and take the kids to Silverwood. The cottage was an excellent choice - it was clean, extremely comfortable and close to everything we wanted to explore. Monica was extremely helpful and more than happy to answer any questions. All of the information you would ever need was provided before arriving and everything was exactly as pictured and discussed in the listing. We will definitely be back to stay - the family has plans to return in the winter for a visit to the ski resort. Thanks for a wonderful mini getaway!

Great physical unit; noise a bit of an issue
New; super clean; well appointed; great having a hose out front to wash off mountain bikes; Monica so easy to work with. But there are train tracks 1/4 mile away and even with background white noise machines, I still heard the trains during the night ( we were aware of tracks nearby before booking). Also the exterior hvac unit, just outside the master bedroom makes a constant humming, audible noise

We have stayed at many VRBO's and found this property to be one of the best. The owners thought of everything even if you forgot to pack your toothbrush. Very well appointed inside and out. A little to for to walk to town and only one parking spot in front of the property but both those issues don't take away from this property at all. We would book this place again.

TEN STARS! Fabulous Cottage
From the moment we arrived we saw that the cottage was just as picture perfect as it showed on the website! We were pleasantly surprised that the touches inside and out went above and beyond our expectations. Spotlessly cleaned, very well appointed with anything we could ever wish for, and super communication with our hosts, we are definitely giving 10 Stars! 5 stars is not enough. Thank you so much to the Carpenters for a wonderful vacation home.

Great cottage
We really enjoyed the cottage itself, it's very clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. The beds and sheets were very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you'd need. It's convenient to get to the grocery store, downtown and the ski mountain. The one thing we didn't like very much was that we really noticed the road and and train noise from the nearby busy road and railway tracks.
