Wonderful vacation at Curlew Lake

Sharlene's property has a beautiful view of Curlew Lake. It is very spacious and accommodated our large group with areas for kids, teens, and adults. I was impressed by the many extras provided: spices, condiments, a large variety of cooking pans and serving dishes, games for inside and out, plenty of paper towels and toilet paper. We had a wonderful time with our family and will return to this house if possible in the future.

What an amazing property!!! Perfect location, breathtaking views and a host that went above and beyond with ideas for surrounding activities. Huge property with allllll the room you could need. The balcony’s were to die for. I gave 4stars on cleanliness due to a musty basement room. This room was clean and tidy but was located in the basement with a window that has their irrigation system above it so water drips down and I’m assuming that would be the reason for the smell. Please do not get me wrong, it wasn’t overwhelming or unusable, it just had a slight musty smell. With all the rooms, you could avoid it and not even know. The kayaks are ready and available for use and the fire pit is a must see! The basement is like its own property/apartment with a kitchen, patio, bathroom, living area and ping pong table. There are beautiful and well maintained plants throughout the house with cascading foliage around every corner. The beds were wonderful and I am a mattress snob so the fact that I’m adding this is huge. I very rarely find a rental with comfortable beds. If ever in the area, I highly recommend staying here for peace, comfort and all the space needed both inside and out.Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable Leslie

Great winter getaway!

My family and I rented this house for new years weekend. Great communication with the property owner, and was allowed to check in a few hours early! The view of the lake is beautiful! Close to town and restaurants, about a 10 minute drive. The house is huge, with plenty of sleeping space and restrooms. Overall, a great experience!

Good Stay

The house was pretty clean. The only thing I would say was negative about the cleanliness is that it had a very musty moisture smell to it that hit you every time you walked in the house after being out and about. The house was very comfortable for my family of 4 as 2-3 other family members couldn’t make it last minute. Ultimately, I would stay again if I had 6-8 people coming along.

Great place in a beautiful setting.

Great property. Perfect for multiple families. It is not that close to the water -- steep hike down trail. We went to nearby State Park to enjoy the lake with the kids. The rail trail is just down the road and offers a family friendly hike along the lake. Owner was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a trip with extended family planned. Due to Covid it ended up beng just me and my spouse. We enjoyed the beautiful views and the quiet! We had a chance to read, sleep late and relax. There was lots to do but for us the R&R was wonderful! Highly recommend Esther’s in republic.. really good Mexican food!

Great family time at Spirit of Curlew Lake

We had a great time at Sharlene’s place. The private bay was a big hit! It was a short hike down a little trail which opened up to a quiet bay. We swam and fished there every day. Sharlene provided an aluminum boat and we brought a large inflatable boat. The deep fire pit was also a big plus, with s’mores all around. We played outdoor games in the volleyball area. The kids also played on the swing set on the property. Sharlene always answered my texts immediately and was very helpful. We would definitely recommend this for a family gathering. We had 6 adults, 4 kids and a dog.

Beautiful views, spacious house

My family and I stayed at Sharlene’s place for a family reunion/memorial for my grandfather who owned a ranch for 40 years in the nearby town of Malo. The location of the house was perfect for our visit and to relive some of our memories of the area. We really enjoyed the property, it has beautiful views, especially from any of the three terraces on the house that face the lake. Sharlene made sure we knew about all of the activities that were available to us and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to the area but everyone in our group agreed that we would stay at this house again.

Great location, interesting house

The location of the house and views were great. The house had lots of plants which left seeds all over the couches and floor which we had to constantly brush off. Another reason why we wouldn’t give this 5 stars is the internet was very slow. My husband tried to do some work remotely and could not use zoom. The communication was great but the cleanliness of the house and lack of internet made it not ideal.

So Accomodating!

We were unable to make our trip due to a change in family plans last minute, however our experiene leading up to the stay is worth the review! We were able to drive by & check it out a few weeks prior. The premises are wonderful! Circle deiveway, outdoor activities, INCREDIBLE view of the Lake, everything needed to accomodate for a large family gathering (which we will be returning for in Spring)! The owner had the driveway plowed & home ready for our arrival. So understanding with our situation & was prompt to respond to all of my questions. We can't wait till next year where we can share our experience of actually staying!!

Family Gathering

For the most part, we had a lovely stay in this house. Everything was set up for us that we needed and did not want for much. The goat-trail down to the kayaks was steeper than we anticipated and was difficult for everybody to maneuver, but most of us were fine. The main thing I had not noticed anybody talk about was the sulfur content of the well water; it was quite pungent and most of our group was unable to drink it comfortably. We knew Republic was an old mining town and had heard of water issues from an environmental engineer that works in the area, but we failed to ask sufficient questions. We did find water at the local co-op relatively inexpensively and that made the rest of first day much better. That said, the host was very quick to respond to any queries we had and gave many tips of what to do in the area. We would absolutely consider coming back again, this time with water in hand.
