About this property
Private Beach on a Secluded Bay, Comfortable Family
We looked for years for this wonderful lake and house!!
Our lake front family home sits at the end of a quiet bay near Sunset Beach, known for its great fishing. Situated on the east side of Hayden Lake, our home is far enough away from town to feel rural and secluded yet close enough to Hayden and Coeur d’ Alene for convenient shopping for supplies at a variety of stores like Costco, Albertsons, or Wal-Mart.
The gentle slope from home down to the beach with west facing exposure means long summer days in the sun enjoying all the outdoor amenities our home has to offer including – private beach and boat dock, three kayaks, paddleboat, corn hole game, numerous inner tubes, beach chairs, outdoor fire pit, barbecue, picnic table, and outdoor shower.
Young children especially like playing down by the beach in our full-size dollhouse/clubhouse with two bunk beds inside.
We love lingering over evening meals on the expansive porch overlooking the lake and sunset beyond.
Inside amenities include Jacuzzi tub, Internet service, two TVs, DVD player, VHS player, ping-pong table, board games, and a large collection of books and puzzles.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a stainless steel oven, microwave, two refrigerators, toaster, coffee maker, and Kitchen Aid mixer.
Sleeping accommodations have flexibility with space for 8 -10 people. The master bedroom is on the entry-level with a king size bed and adjoining bathroom. Also on the entry-level is a den/office with desk, printer and scanner and pull out futon queen size bed.
The lower level of the house has two bedrooms each with queen size beds. The very large utility room is furnished with a trundle bed, additional futon, and washer and dryer. The downstairs den has a queen size pull out sleeper couch. The downstairs bathroom has two sinks and a tub shower. Just outside is an outdoor shower built at the forest edge.
Hayden Lake, with 40 miles of shoreline is free of crowds and has plenty of coves and inlets making it a great lake for waterskiing, jet skiing, sailing and fishing. It is shallow enough to be warm in the summer. For those of us who hate cold water, you can swim in the lake without a wet suit throughout the summer months.
Boats are available for rental at Hayden Marina on the lake. There are two public boat launch ramps. Honeysuckle Beach is at the southwest end of the lake and Sportsmen Access is at the northeast end of the lake.
Your dogs are welcome to join you on your vacation at our home for an additional fee.
Location: The town of Hayden is 45 minutes by car due east from Spokane, Washington International Airport, a small comfortable airport with direct flights from many cities across the United States. Coeur d’ Alene, a charming nearby city with its larger lake, historic main street, arts festivals, and great restaurants is about 30 minutes from our home. This area of northern Idaho it is also known for over 50 great golf courses and Silverwood Amusement Park is about 45 minutes due north. For winter fun, Schweitzer Mountain, Idaho’s foremost ski area is located about 1 ½ hours to the north just outside of Sandpoint, Idaho.
Please come and enjoy our wonderful home.

The view from house was absolutely beautiful! I would agree with previous reviews that the house had almost everything needed for your stay. It was such a peaceful location and our first time to the Northeast. I will be back to the area for sure! Loved the kayaks!
This place was perfect for our three families! Plenty of rooms so everyone has their own spaces, yet lots of areas for everyone to hang out together inside and out. The house was well stocked with everything you could need, and we enjoyed the many puzzles and water toys. The location is great too because it’s far enough away from town to feel remote but close enough to explore other areas such as Coeur d’Alene and Wallace. We loved it!
Family had a good time relaxing. Home was very comfortable, clean, pretty much all you need was available. I do suggest as the owners state, bring everything you think you may need then add some. It is a drive to the nearest store. We rented a pontoon boat and jet ski on different days and had a good time on the lake with these in addition to the kayak's and paddle boards that were available at the property. Thank you for the use of your home. Charlie and Family
Marvelous property, with great beach and views, plenty of parking, perfect for our multi-generational gathering. We'd go back in a heartbeat.
The owner might want to consider some tweaks to make it even better: fix the screen door to the upper deck, replace the non-closing kitchen trash can, remove the broken dining room arm chair, be a bit more generous with paper products (paper towels/TP) or edit listing to reflect "initial" or "limited" supply thereof.
More importantly, the listing or welcome material should mention Bob, the friendly or intrusive neighbor who claims to own the outdoor shower, have an access agreement to tap into the house's water supply, lets his dogs run wild with no attempt to clean up, and even tried to bum a beer off us. It was an awkward situation; a little knowledge would have empowered us to be a bit more decisive.
Last week of June 2023 fantastic week with family. We love the location of this home. It has everything you need, very well stocked. Fishing was great and the beach and kayaks are amazing. Truly a gem in this wonderful place.
Perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the beauty of Idaho. Definitely shop beforehand. While it's only a 9 mile drive to the house, it truly does take a half hour. Nice thing is, once you are there, there is no reason to leave.
This house is the best we ever rented on the lake! It is great for all ages - younger kids enjoy sandy beach, teenagers did a lot of fishing kayaking and paddleboarding. Our 5 year old is a huge fan of Jim Carrey - we enjoyed so much watching "The Mask" again!
Neighbors are super nice - they even offered us to use their inflatable sofa for the boat fun, and gave us some dry wood for the campfire.
We even caught a pike for the first time from the dock! And of course, the sunsets are breathtaking.
We would like to book it again for our next summer vacation!
We had a nice time at this house for the week. The kitchen and house was STOCKED with everything imaginable. There’s a great game room that was really fun. Walk down to the beach was easy. The water toys were a blast. The A/C worked well (almost too well for the downstairs). Appliances were new. Honesty, the only thing missing would maybe be an umbrella on the deck and one on the dock. It was hard to get away from all the sun we were so lucky to have!!
We enjoyed a lovely week. The house was great and the lake was fun! Appreciated not having to rent kayaks & paddle boards. The inner tubes and floaties were great! The property manager was very helpful and responsive.
We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect & it’s location was excellent. My only complaint was that there was only one indoor shower. The outside shower was fabulous though. Super comfy home with all the fun toys you need on a lake. There was record breaking heat when we were there, but the A/C worked like a charm. Highly recommend this home!
When we walked through the doors we were blessed with the most spectacular view.
It was like coming home. The house layout is perfect. Everything works. Enough dishes fancy and regular for the dinners and lunches. The second refrigerator in the garage was a pleasant surprise. The lake toys were enjoyed almost everyday. The neighbors were nice and friendly,just like home. Thank you for the wonderful time.
What a spectacular week and home. The property is larger and in even better condition than the photos show. We've rented in Hayden Lake before but this location is fantastic with its sandy beach, grassy area, and the fact that it gets sun for a majority of the day, all of which are rare in this area. The management and owners were terrific and quickly resolved just a couple of small questions we had. Also, while the property has 3 bedrooms, there is a 4th type of bedroom (den) with a closeable door and futons, and a large laundry room with two twin beds, so in reality there are 5 private sleeping areas, plus two large sofas (upstairs and downstairs). Since our party had many single adults, this was a perfect setup. The only slight issue we had was with wi-fi and cell service being slow, but even that was a fantastic break for all of us. The loons, geese, and hawks were beautiful to watch and listen to. The upstairs deck has a seating area for 7-8 but there were plenty of chairs for all of us to watch the sun rise (coffee) or sunset (wine). We are already talking to the owners and hoping to rent again next July. The house was very well furnished with lots of storage in the garage (as well as 2-car parking), although we did bring extra supplies (paper towels, etc.) This was a terrific property and location.
Our family loved it, view of the lake fantastic, loved having a boat dock with the house to fish from & rent a boat for storing it, we loved the kayaks & paddle boards, & tubes, that came with the house! We absolutely enjoyed our 10 day stay there!
Words are not adequate to describe the peace, tranquility and beauty of lakefront living on Hayden Lake. Our 28 days at this house included limit bass caught from the dock, 43 hrs logged on our boat, 50 miles of walking/hiking, porch dining and sunsets, championship golf, farmers markets and entertaining friends. Even caught a minor league baseball game in Spokane. The home is well appointed and includes many games, activities for all ages. I only wish I could have this home as my own. We will return again until we find the right home for ourselves. Thank you Jan and Rick.

Peaceful place for family stay
We enjoyed every bit of our stay. The property was as-advertised and our stay over Labor Day and the following week made for a calm lake with relatively little other boat traffic.
I love this lake - I grew up in the area and boated it regularly.
One point of clarification for those considering it: during our stay (first week of Sept) the small bay serving this home was mostly grown with millweed, making swimming off the dock undesirable, though there was still a small clear sand area in front of the sand beach for our littlest children to swim.
Housewares, beach toys, and kayaks provided by the homeowner included everything that we needed. AC works great and each room is surprisingly large.
I would recommend bringing a powerboat to fully enjoy all that Hayden lake has to offer. It will be well guarded while moored at the dock in this small, protected bay.
The internet is better suited for checking email and news than watching videos, or heavy bandwidth use. Hard to expect much better since you're located on the edge of National Forest that spans between this cabin and Montana.
We would rent here again.

More than expected!!
I met the owners in my place of business where they were buying items for their lake house and they told me how the rent it out when they are not there. They were so passionate about it, we decided to rent it for a family event.
All I can say is WOW, the pictures do not show the complete beauty of the house or the property. It was the best rental house vacation we have ever had for all ages and some with disabilities. We had friends come from Spokane with their boats for the day and they fell in love with the place also, we will be coming back.

I was here with two other writers for a writing retreat for five days. The accommodations are spacious. The large individual rooms offer privacy, while the homey common rooms are great to share meals and stories. With spectacular views, we walked and hiked the many trails and roads around the lake. There is plenty of room for families. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed the calmness of the lake. It was a relaxing, picturesque place to unwind, enjoy scenery, and pursue a variety of activities. I would recommend it for families and other groups, large and small. We will definitely return.

A True Vacation
This home has more room and is even nicer than the pictures. Two families had plenty of room. We brought our boat and scooters and totally enjoyed our time. It was one of those rare times when I felt I got a true vacation. After boating around the whole lake, we felt that this location was among the best on the whole lake. All the little "extras" like the boat, kayak and floaties were a nice addition. The owners were very nice and communicated well.

Fantastic lake front home...
This home lived up to our expectations and beyond! Located in a serene little bay with lots of privacy. The paddle boat and kayak were a real kit with all of us....grandparents and adult children with grandkids! We also rented a ski boat from a company not on the lake, KJ Watersports and they were great.... Delivered the boat to the lake with all the gear that we requested. And then came to pick it up from the lake. Much more affordable than the marina rentals on the lake! The outdoor shower was awesome... Would love to go back every year but it is so far away from San Diego. Owners were very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend this beautiful home away from home!😊 All the other reviews were right on!!!
