Making Memories on Hayden Lake
We had a wonderful time visiting with our daughter and family! There was ample space for the 6 of us! The location by the Sandbar was AMAZING! It was perfect for kayaking and boating!

Inside was dirty
Hair on shower walls. Dishes in dishwasher that stunk. Inside kitchen drawers were dirty'. Garbage can in kitchen was dirty under it and in it. Sticky stuff on end table. The place was just dirty. we paid 1500. for 2 night. Only thing that really nice was the view. Who ever is cleaning this place needs to be fired,

Perfect view of the lake
Grandparents, two daughters, two grandkids and a son-in-law stayed four nights and had a wonderful time! The property is just as it is pictured. My only complaint was that there were a lot of cobwebs in the house. Great house for the price. And a great floor plan for our family!

This was our second time at this property and we were just as pleased as the first. It has everything we need except for a few things, but I was prepared for that. It's a great little house right on the lake with a nice dock and we even had a little beach because the water was lower this year. Bring fans because there's no A/C and can get warm during the day, bring extra TP, paper towels, and your own beach towels. Also, the dishwasher detergent that is supplied is not really dw detergent as it suds and makes a mess so bring your own. (Luckily I knew that.) There was an ant problem this year but once we sprayed the door ways, they didn't come in. Wifi is a little spotty and no cell service with my carrier (AT&T). Other than that, it's a great place to stay and the lake is awesome!

Mostly relaxing getaway spot
This was a pretty relaxing spot right on the lake. The private dock was super nice for our kids to play on. The house is old but it was clean and a pretty nice place to stay overall. I would recommend this place as a getaway spot but there are a few things to be aware of. The house has a sandbar just off the dock and it attracts a lot of boaters. They can be kind of noisy with loud music and just having lots of people. They can also be kind of messy and leave food and trash in the water. We did find several large pieces of broken glass in the water over by the beach area so bring water shoes or just avoid the beach altogether. The sandbar was cool but the boaters ruined it a bit. There is a washer and dryer in the house but no laundry soap so you will need to bring your own. It seems weird because they ask you to wash the towels before you leave as a courtesy to the cleaning staff but then don't give you the soap to wash them. The trash cans out back were all full when we got there so we had nowhere to get rid of our trash. Just be aware. They do say in the listing that there is no cooling in the house and that is very true. You'll definitely want to bring a fan or two because it gets hot.

KEEP LOOKING.
This property is w/a/y down a very twisty, slow road - about 1/2 hour to drive out or in. The traffic in Hayden Lake and Coeur d’Alene is so bad that it’s another 1/2 hour to go anywhere. So it’s a full hour, EACH way, to do anything; I ended up staying “in town” with friends a lot just to avoid the long drive. This property is way, way out with a steep bank. A wind storm took out the electricity and electric baseboard heating while I was there and I had to drive around a fallen tree to get out. The house itself is fine, the location is terrible for a rental. I would never stay here again. Little help from VBRO/Vacasa.

Nice Lake House
This house had a beautiful view and great dock! House itself was dirty and very outdated. Was told we could not check in early due to extensive covid cleaning practices only to get inside and floors were dirty, it was dusty, dead bugs in windows, outdoor decks not swept, etc. Communication with Vacasa was very poor and when having to call there were very long wait times. Better to work with individual owners vs a big company I feel. The drive there is very very windy and long and dirt road to the house that is shared with neighbors and driveway is the yard. Time to restaurants/stores is 40minutes due to the road. Heating in the home is like a sauna! Could not get it to cool down with the floor heaters. Enjoyed our stay and was very relaxing just wish the house was a little more clean and more updated.

Beautiful area...dated property
House needs some upgrades...well equipped kitchen, but awful bedding and linens. No instructions for use of amenities or appliances and no indication of what’s expected for closing up/checking out.

Great stay
The house is a typical lake cabin. House sits right on the lake and just across from the sandbar. Would stay here again.

Great location, great accommodations!
This house fit all our needs with plenty of beds, plenty of dining seating (inside and out), spacious kitchen with two fridges and lots of storage as well as plenty of dishes, great decks and boat dock, and plenty of parking (we had 3 cars and a boat trailer). We loved the location since it was the beginning of a no wake zone so we didn't get as many boat wakes as most places on the lake. The house came with some noodles and floaties and several folding chairs that could be taken to the dock. Both the upper and lower decks also had a lot of nice chairs and lounges. The house description is very accurate except for a couple of things (and I'm not complaining but rather listing them here so the next visitors can plan better than I did). Although the property description says there is laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, and beach towels, there aren't any. (There is a bottle under the sink labeled dishwasher gel, but it's just regular dish soap. Don't put it in the DW!!!) There are only a couple of rolls of TP per bathroom and one roll of paper towels so you might want to bring more. On hot days, the house can get pretty warm upstairs, so bring a couple of fans. There is no DVD player, so you'll need to bring your own if you want to watch DVDs. We were very happy here and would definitely rent this house again!

Hi, Theresa! We are so glad you stayed with us and were happy with your experience. We do provide Palmolive dish soap and dishwasher pods, two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, and two rolls of paper towels. We apologize if housekeeping missed restocking any of these items and would have been happy to assist you had we known. We will make sure the beach towels are replaced. Thank you!

Quiet Retreat
The house was beautiful, very clean and the kitchen had a nice selection of good pots and pans. A wonderful deck and great view. Even with the inclement weather it was so nice to be out near the lake in the peace and quiet.

Great views but far from town
Great views! Nice lakeside property that meets basic needs with kitchen, WiFi, private dock, etc. But far from town, 30mins in, so make sure you stock up before you check in. Furnishing needs updating, e.g. bedspread was thin and from the 60s, bedspreads or carpets had a musty smell.
