Lake Koocanusa Suite w/ Beach Access & Marina Dock

Lakefront Secondary Suite on Lake Koocanusa — Beach & Dock Access

Welcome to our beautiful secondary suite on Lake Koocanusa, completed in June 2023. The suite is located just behind and slightly above the main house, offering a partially restricted view of the lake while still providing easy access to the waterfront and marina.
Guests can relax on the large deck, enjoy full access to the private beach on the property, and use the dock overlooking the marina with space to moor your boat. The home is situated in a protected marina area, making the water calmer — great for swimming, paddleboarding, and families with kids.
There’s plenty to do nearby:
• Hiking trails
• Mountain biking
• Dirt biking, quads, and side-by-sides (please follow local road rules)
• Sunshine Houseboats Waterpark (10–15 minutes away)
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, fishing trip, or relaxing lake getaway, this property offers a peaceful setting with great access to the water and outdoor adventure.

Excellent property. Great family fun

Family and I wanted a lakefront stay and this property fit the bill perfectly. Right by the water but in protected from the open lake by the marina area. Kids and I SUP'd and played in the water. Lots of room within the property, kids loved the bunk beds. The marina store had some provisions if you forgot any (bread, liquor, etc). Host was readily available and checkin/out was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again. Great first experience at Koocanusa

The Dock With No Water

The property was wonderful and the interior was modern, had air-conditioning which was definitely needed, was clean and fully stocked with pots/pans, utensils, small appliances, etc. you would need to make meals. The furniture and the beds were extremely comfortable. Our host answered my emails promptly and the directions she gave us to get there was spot on.We had brought a small boat with to be on the water fishing and what drew me into this particular rental was the photo of the dock in the water. Little did I know that the water is only there mid June at the earliest so we did not have a dock in the water for the boat ... instead it was a dock in the sand. Lake Koocanusa is drained throughout the summer and autumn months as the dam on the US side uses the water for electricity and for their own downstream uses. It takes until mid to late June for the spring runoff on the Canadian side to refill the lake. Fortunately we did find a spot where we could launch the boat from the trailer into the lake and we were able to enjoy fishing and exploring along the shore. The only improvement that I can think of would be to interject one word into the title of the photo and that would be"seasonal" dock.

Beautiful property ! Perfect location in Koocanusa Village on water. Home has all the amenities you need for a vacation with friends and family. Owners house is just in front of being right on the water, but you can still see the marina from the patio. Turf grass, sandy beach and dock lead right onto water. Kove is the ideal place to paddle board, swim, and even fish. Highly recommend this property
