Family visit
Came to meet our new granddaughter who lives in Ponderay. This is a true gem, such a great little cabin with beautiful views of the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows with the grandkids. Can't wait to stay again was the perfect home away from home. Thank you for such a wonderful time

Perfectly charming get away
Loved our stay at Murphy’s Retreat. Comfy and quiet evenings on the large deck and fire pit. Everything you could ever need for food prep (although we elected to eat out—many places to choose from). Great place for the pups to hang with us. Lots of recommendations from hosts on places to go and things to do in the area. More amenities than a five star hotel. Place was spotless, obviously well cared for. Would highly recommend, well worth the price.

This cabin is roomy, comfortable and equipped with everything you can imagine for a fun stay. The view of the lake through the trees is awesome. There is plenty of room for a group of eight and the owners are beyond gracious. We had a great time!

Great little property, super location.
We absolutely loved this property, it was very well stocked with everything you need. Great value for all this property offers. You can tell the hosts are welcoming and really care about your stay. Very clean and comfortable - the kitchen and main living space was perfect size for our group of 3. If there was one area for improvement it is that we were not fans of the queen bunk beds - it felt claustrophobic since one side was pushed up against the wall, and very limited head room - but the mattresses were very comfortable. Amazing outdoor spaces - decks and patio. Overall the property was one of the best we've ever stayed at - highly recommend.

We stayed here with our two dogs and it was the perfect spot! Conveniently located- just a short drive away from beaches, trails, good food and all the adventure Sandpoint has to offer. The place was spotless too! We loved the map of the lake that the owner put on the wall which describes all the locations to visit and where dogs are welcome. If we make it back this way, we will certainly stay here again. Thank you to the owners for working hard to make this such a wonderful place to stay with our “kids” (pups).

Very Peaceful and Pleasant Stay
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Murphy Retreat. The house was clean and we appreciated the special touches left by the owners such as the welcome cookies and farm fresh eggs. The owners were very thoughtful in regards to the needs of their guests, assuring that the house was filled with anything we may have needed during the duration of our stay. Beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood and centralized location. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
The communication with the owners was perfect. The instructions for checking in and info about the house were overwhelming in an e mail. You could just send simple check in info and then have a notebook at the VRBO that people can use as needed. The kitchen and living room were somewhat remodeled and nice. There was an immense amount of food in the refrigerator which was kind of gross and left us very little room for our food. The bedrooms and bathroom were very old and beat up. The shower was great with a hand held shower that you could use to wash a dog of toddler if needed. The interior was ok clean but there were places of spilled drinks. They outdoor space was gorgeous. Unfortunately we were gone hiking during the day so we did not get to enjoy the outdoor space, but the BBQ worked great. The outside trash cans did not have lids and were overflowing with trash. I'm glad no critters got into them. Over all a great place to stay with you furry family.

Cute getaway
The check in process was very easy and communication with the owners was great. Some parts of the house are dated (the bathroom), however it appears that the owners are renovating over time because the kitchen was very modern. There is no lake access and very little view. The pictures make it appear that it's tucked away in woods. It's right off of the road and among many other homes. That being said, there is still plenty of privacy and patio space because of the trees/bushes. It's also very quick drive into Sandpoint.

Family Vacation- Idaho
Our overall stay was good, but I feel like I should bring a few things up to the owners because I would want to know! There is a major ant problem inside and outside of the home. Our youngest son had ants falling on him from the top bunk in the 2nd bedroom and ended up sleeping on the couch because it was so bad. All 3 boys had bites by the time we left on Wednesday. There is also a lot of bees, which made it hard to be outside. I realize this is out of your control but based on how many bees there were there may be some nests that need to be removed. The garbage can outside was stuffed full when we got there, we did take it up to the end of the driveway Tuesday night but there was no room for the one bag of garbage we created during our stay. Also, it’s amazing that you provide kayaks and paddle boards for renters to use and we were really looking forward to getting the kids out, but we didn’t realize when booking that there wasn’t lake access within walking distance. Had that been clear in the listing we would have brought our truck. As it turned out we we were not able to get on the water. To be fair it was in the information we received when we got the door code. Again, not trying to be rude in any way just thought I would share these things for the future. Thank you! Luci McKean
