About this property
Murphy Bay Lake View Retreat, Private Deck Oasis, Pet-Friendly
Imagine starting your day with coffee on the expansive 1,000 square foot deck, watching the morning light dance across Murphy Bay on Lake Pend Oreille. As evening arrives, unwind with a glass of wine while enjoying a stunning sunset over the water. Murphy’s Retreat offers a private, peaceful lakeside escape with no direct lake access, yet it delivers incredible views and a wonderful sense of tranquility. The home features two comfortable bedrooms, each equipped with double queen bunk beds, comfortably sleeping up to 6 guests. Inside, you’ll find a bright, modern kitchen fully stocked for easy meal preparation, a spacious living area, and a full-size washer and dryer. High-speed 1 GB WiFi and Netflix are provided for your convenience. Outside, the oversized stone patio with its fireplace and the wood pellet smoker and propane BBQ grill combo create the perfect setup for outdoor dining and memorable evenings around the fire pit (firewood provided). Located just off Lakeshore Drive, the retreat is only a 5-minute drive to downtown Sandpoint’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and festivals. City Beach is a relaxing 20-minute bike ride away, Schweitzer Mountain is 15 minutes by car, and Silverwood Theme Park is about 40 minutes. World-class hiking and biking trails are nearby, giving you year-round adventures right at your doorstep. In winter, enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Schweitzer, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing. This is a true four-season destination with amazing weather and activities all year long. Murphy’s Retreat is pet-friendly — we have our own chocolate Labrador named Murphy, and the home sits on Murphy Bay, which inspired the name. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing getaway or an active adventure base, this special property is ready to welcome you.
