Dog-Friendly Beachfront Getaway, Hot Tub, Boat Lift
Summary:
Experience the ultimate pet-friendly Lake Pend Oreille getaway with a private sandy beach, hot tub, boat and jet ski lifts, expansive chef’s kitchen, and stunning waterfront views just minutes from downtown Sandpoint.
The Space:
Escape to the shores of iconic Lake Pend Oreille and discover a dog-friendly waterfront retreat designed for unforgettable family vacations, lake days, and year-round adventure. Inspired by the relaxed elegance of a Scandinavian summer house, this extraordinary home blends luxury, comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living — complete with a private hot tub overlooking the property — all just minutes from downtown Sandpoint.
Set on 100 feet of private sandy beachfront, the property welcomes you with panoramic lake views, a sprawling flat lawn perfect for games and gatherings, and endless opportunities to soak up North Idaho’s beauty. Bring your boat and take advantage of the private boat lift, jet ski lift, and the convenient neighborhood boat launch located right next door — making this one of the most boater-friendly vacation homes on the lake. And because this home is pet friendly, your four-legged family members can enjoy the adventure too.
Inside, the home feels warm, elevated, and intentionally curated. Sunlight pours through oversized windows in the expansive great room, where plush furnishings and stunning waterfront views create the perfect setting to unwind after a day on the lake or an evening soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars. Thoughtful Scandinavian-inspired touches, collected artwork, and design-forward details give the home a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
The chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home — fully stocked and beautifully equipped with brand-new appliances, double ovens, a KitchenAid mixer, extensive cookware, barware, and an additional refrigerator/freezer in the heated garage. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner, preparing a lakeside brunch, or enjoying cocktails at sunset, this space was built for gathering.
The home comfortably accommodates families and groups with spacious sleeping arrangements across multiple levels. The main-floor primary suite offers a king bed, spa-style bathroom, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.
Downstairs, guests will find additional king and queen bedrooms along with an entertainment-focused family room featuring a massive TV, and flexible sleeping space ideal for kids or larger groups.
Outside is where this property truly shines. Spend your mornings paddleboarding or kayaking on calm water, afternoons lounging on the sandy beach, and evenings gathered around the waterfront entertaining area watching the sunset over the lake. A one-of-a-kind circular waterfront patio creates the perfect backdrop for lakeside dining, cocktails, and memory-making with family and friends.

The house was very clean and had a beautiful deck to enjoy the views of the lake. The property was pet friendly and had a clean hottub, fire pit, a basement movie room and was close to town. Highly recommend this place.
We absolutely LOVED staying here - I nearly decided to up and move to the area right away. It was a great location - accessible to amenities, easy access to the beach/lake, meticulously organized and well thought-out house (labels for EVERYTHING) and beautiful setting. We really couldn't have had a better time. Thank you for this rejuvenating experience - with 7 kids, we all needed it!
Our family and I enjoyed this house, everything you need for a relaxing time you have it, for us it was a very special experience, I think this place makes you forget those hectic days, and gives you that time where you can enjoy the beauty of God's creation, I loved your property!Thank you very much guys, you have made a wonderful place, we will surely come back again.
This was a fantastic house to bring three families together for a few days of skiing and hanging out. House is super modern and plenty of space to run around. We had a great time.
Wonderful house, super well appointed and beautifully decorated. Probably one of the top 5 VRBOs we have stayed in. The ONLY thing I would suggest that could improve the property is to install a Level 2 charger for EV
This property far exceeded our expectations! We love to stay around Lake Pend Orielle and this is one of the nicest, well-stocked, and best maintained properties we've been to. Though the lake level is low in April, we loved the long lawn (perfect for kids), sandy beach, views, quiet area, ping pong table and wonderful kitchen. With such wonderful linens, spacious rooms, and so many amenities, it made for a truly relaxing weekend away.
The weather wasn’t exactly what we expected but we made the most of it and the house was super comfortable and had everything we needed (with the exception of a fire pit which has not been replaced since last winter we learned). The Hot tub was great, lake was amazing and overall we had a blast making memories!
They were able to accommodate us on very short notice and it was the absolute perfect place for us. Nicely updated waterfront home in a nice neighborhood. Just 10 minutes to Sandpoint. Had all the amenities we needed and very well-stocked. Extremely attentive Property Management Company. Very pleased! Didn't want to leave. Would stay here again!!
Our family of four had a wonderful time! The house is stocked with everything you could possibly ever need. We went paddleboarding and kayaking and through Action Watersports, we spent a day on the lake learning how to waterski (we had a blast- thanks Pat). The beds are super comfortable and it is so quiet and peaceful at night that you can hear a pin drop. The house is on;y short drive to the local grocery store (which also had everything we wanted/needed). We wouldn't hesitate to go back!
This was a great stay for our family with young kiddos. Though the weather didn't allow for being outside much, the house had cupboards of puzzles, toys, games, movies and the like for our kids to enjoy. The beds and linens were very luxurious and the kitchen had all that we needed--even a crockpot (when ai realized we forgot ours). One of the little tips I can add for future guests is that the stovetop is an induction one--so if you bring any of your own cookware or espresso maker like we did, it won't heat up on the stovetop. Lovely home in every way with so many thoughtful touches.
The home is beautiful! Views of the lake & wildlife are priceless! Especially when viewing them from a relaxing jacuzzi. Management company was the best I’ve ever worked with. Rent vacation homes regularly for going on 20 years & they were great! Actually sent a “ maintenance crew” to the lake home when I just left a message inquiring on a key to the boathouse for supplies & ( portable fireplace ). And when items couldn’t be located they had it delivered & installed very next day. Overall great vacation home!
This is a gorgeous place right on the water. Probably the best-stocked house I have ever rented, with everything in awesome condition. It’s a 10-minute drive from downtown, so bit far for those who want to walk to restaurants or order food delivery. I dinged communication a bit. Here’s the scoop. The property managing was initially unresponsive to questions; didn’t like that. But once they engaged shortly before the trip, their responsiveness was just superb! And I mean, superb. By no means would I stay away because of this. Just know that if you have an urgent question that comes up weeks before you plan to arrive, you’d be better off giving them a call. Bottom line: I couldn’t recommend this house more, and if you come you’ll be glad you did.
