About this property
Convenient location 2 miles to Priest Lake for families & work-cation stays!
Experience Priest Lake, Idaho in style at Autumn’s Lodge located in “downtown” Priest Lake. Previously ran as Autumn’s Loft art gallery, you can still purchase Autumn's exquisite scenic photographic metals straight off the walls. Walk a half mile to food, gas, hardware, nail salon, gym, and the award winning Priest Lake Golf Course. Enjoy pulling your snowmobile straight up to the front porch of Autumn's Lodge after accessing over 350 miles of groomed trails. Relax in front of the massive stone fireplace while reading one of the many locally written books about the area. Slip on your snowshoes or cross-country skis to enjoy the groomed trails across the road at the Priest Lake Memory Garden and Priest Lake Golf Course. In the summer, ride your bike 3 miles to Hill’s Resort and treat your family (or yourself) to an iced huckleberry bucket drink while the kid’s jump off the dock! Then walk north, up the beach to the Priest Lake Museum! Autumn's Lodge is full of history books for you to enjoy as well as a special Nell Shipman balcony. Step back in time and learn what and who shaped the lake!
Autumn's Note: "I don't have just one favorite room... they all are! I hope you enjoy my local photography adorning the walls of the lodge and be inspired to get out into nature and experience our land like I have, growing up huckleberry picking, crick fishing, and hiking!"
The lineup...
MAIN FLOOR (Sleeps 6 Adults & 1/2 Kids on Futon): Front Bedroom - One Queen Bed (Sleeps 2 Adults) and One Small Futon (Perfect for One Adult or Two Kids!) Back Bedroom - One Queen Bed (Sleeps 2 Adults). Great Room - I'd rather be photographing our local wildlife, but in 2012 we hung an award winning elk and a few years later my dad's elk mount. While transitioning from my art gallery to a lodge feel in 2021, we hung "The Griz"... my dad's super moose hide that looks like a grizzly bear! The Great Room has a smart TV for chilling on Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, etc. The leather couch pulls out to a queen bed (sleeps 2 adults). Full Kitchen - Small but equipped with EVERYTHING... from coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt & pepper, set of spices, ice maker, refrigerator, toaster, microwave, gas oven & stove top, garbage disposal and dishwasher. Or BBQ with the provided propane on the grill outside. Bathroom - Pedestal sink & toilet. Mirror, shelf, towel bar, TP holder, all made by dad on his Oscar's Tree Farm! He handmade all the doors in Autumn's Lodge as well! Washer/Dryer Closet Area Rustic Dining Nook - Yep my dad made this too!

Silent screen actress as well as writer, director, producer, and animal activist... enjoy reading my write ups on this adventurous lady!
Outside: Enjoy my mom's flower garden and dry rock creek. The purple "Louis' Iris" flowers have been passed around in our family for years! Photograph Monarch butterflies on the Coneflowers during summer as they arrive from down south. From the front porch watch Rufous hummingbirds as they come back each May, as well as visiting deer, birds, and the snowshoe hare rabbits that live under the garden shed. They turn white in the winter! Start an outdoor fire in the evening with S'Mores for the kids! Add on to your stay with a private art class for your party, or a mini family photo session! Choose from fused glass garden art/lightcatchers with local artist Randy Haa, watercolors with Gaye Oscarson, ink on tile with Autumn Kennedy, or acrylic on wood. I hope you love my lodge as much as I have enjoyed putting all the details together for you! I pray you find peace, relaxation, and inspiration while being our guest! -Autumn

We had a wonderful time being with family while staying at Autumn’s Lodge. Ten of us felt at home and comfortable there. We enjoyed swimming at Hill’s and at Luby Bay. The Texas grandchildren loved swimming and fishing and a hike at Granite Falls. The bonus for all of us was of course being close to family who live nearby. The Lodge was lovely and welcoming and provided a convenient base for all our activities at the lake and in town.
The property was great and an excellent location. Autumn was easy to communicate with and was always very quick to respond. We will definitely be back!
We had a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time at Autumn’s Lodge. There was plenty of room for us to park our boat trailer and truck. It was very clean with plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. The beds are comfortable with extra pillows and blankets. Outside the lodge had a cute fire pit with plenty of loungers and chairs. Autumn is a great hostess. She responds fast and is very helpful with answering my questions. There is a home handbook with a lot of local information in it. We loved the artwork in the lodge and ended up buying a very unique piece. Thank you Autumn!
We loved staying in this beautiful home for a wedding we attended home was clean and comfortable and very homey. Would stay again she was very responsive to questions we had highly recommended
We rented this lodge for our family vacation. It was great that everyone had their own beds. It was such a great place that we found ourselves wanting to stay inside but we did venture outside to enjoy the fire pit and walked down to the school to let kids play before walking to the store for ice cream….
Worked great for my friends and family as there was lots of room to park our trucks and trailers for 4 wheeling. The home was very clean, well put together, and owner was very accomodating! Will stay there again.

The building has hand crafted beams with interesting one of a kind details. Reclaimed barn wood sheeting, an old door hanging up high on a wall, and old metal relics are some of the craft styled details. I enjoyed looking at the building and the fireplace!
We loved the location of Autumn’s Lodge being close to the golf course, shopping and some great places to eat. We spent a lot of time in Coolin which is a very short drive away. The architecture of the Lodge is gorgeous, with plenty of room for several people. A little too warm for a fire this trip, but the outdoor fire pit is welcoming, as is the big front porch.
Totally easy all the way through. Easy communication. Easy to check in. Super fun and unique place. Great family room and main area to hang out in. As you have probably already seen, it is an art-centered cabin. Lots of gorgeous art all around the cabin and fun historical tidbits.
Everything was exactly as advertised. Great location, easy to find. Stocked with everything you could need on a lake vacation. There was even wood out by the fire pit. It was our family of seven and another family of three and we all had ample space and beds.
Nothing but good things to say. Would definitely stay there.
The lodge is so beautiful and fits the location perfectly! There are so many personal touches and details where you can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into making this a super comfy stay for guests. Autumn was a terrific communicator, making the entire stay seamless. I would definitely recommend to anyone! Thanks Autumn!!
The accommodations were amazing and the manager exceeded our expectations and accommodated our needs on short notice. Thank- you for sharing your amazing place.
We rented Autumn's Lodge for a week and the location, size of lot and cabin were amazing! We had plenty of privacy, but were close to the highway, restaurants, resorts and boat launch. I would recommend this property.
Beautiful accommodations, reasonably priced, with attention to detail and hospitality. We even bought some of the art pieces the owner offers for sale. The best review is to say we’ll be back.
Stayed here for my best friend’s bachelor party weekend and it was a great stay. The property is close to many activities such as golfing, boating and evening entertainment. The one and only thing is that the kitchen is very small but had all the necessities.
This house was clean and comfortable. We had 8 adults. We had a couple little things that came up but the owner was responsive and we figured it out. Our family had a great time.
Autumn's Lodge is a very nice place with several specialty items that give you a homey feel. The specialty items include log banister, Montana rock chimney, relaxing furniture, rock floor, wall photos of Priest Lake area, updated washer and dryer, updated kitchen and bathrooms. The place was clean and my family felt very comfortable staying at Autumn's Lodge. I would recommend this place for family's that want a relaxing place to stay with nice accents of the local area.
We had a great time here. This house was a in a great location, clean and lots of room!
Definitely recommend for a large family. The only downside is the kitchen is pretty small. But lots of room and lots of bedding/sheets. Beach towels were available as well. Loved that they had a Keurig as well :) Would definitely stay here again.
The home is beautiful. Great furnishings, bedding, appliances and very clean. Only thing missing is lake access but Hills Resort is less than 5 minutes away. Had our adult children and one teenage grandchild. Wonderful family getaway.
Autumn's Lodge was a great experience. The only way for the property to be any better would have been if the lodge was directly on the lake. It was close to great food and less than 5 minutes from Priest Lake. The lodge itself was beautiful and well kept. The host was very responsive and everything about our stay was as smooth as we could hope. I hope that we get the chance to stay there again.
Autumn was great to work with, always very responsive. They are both great people. We enjoyed our stay very much. There was plenty of room and I loved the way she had it decorated. It had everything we needed and it was close to Hills and Millie's where we were most of the time and close to the store. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. Thank you Autumn!
