Beautiful house, amazing views. We had a wonderful time. House is right on the water and the neighborhood is fully if wildlife. We saw lots of deer, turkey, bald eagles and a couple moose. The lake is super clean and all around the area are great water resources. Silverwood is about 50 minutes away, groceries about 45mins to Sandpoint. Many good shopping and dining places in Sandpoint. The house was well stocked for our needs and John even provided pastries and wine to start off the vacation. What a wonderful stay :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Camp Bay! The home is well stocked with all the necessary tools and toys for a fun getaway. The owners are the best and were very attentive to us as guests. The views are second to none, and we look forward to future stays!

The property is just beautiful. It's right above the lake and includes a dock with a boat lift and kayaks. It is decorated well, and has everything you could possibly want. We saw dear, wild turkey, geese, Elk, and even bald eagles. It really is a breathtaking view. The owners were very friendly and even brought us baked goods and other treats throughout the week. There was a step that broke and John came right away to fix it. This is the only time I have rented a VRBO where the owners were present. Check in was in person and included signing contracts in person. The rules are clear and there is an expectation of compliance. We will definitely be back. This was a great experience.

Great location away from the commercialized parts of the lake. Was surprised there was no potable water. Had to use bottled water for drinking, coffee, brushing teeth. Water system was lake water with UV filter. Water smelled like lake water. Toilets, faucets had lots of air and very loud hammering at times. Lots of discoloration in water. Grandson has a medical issue that requires potable water for bathing and cleaning medical tubing which made our stay problematic. Very nice location but the water issue should have been disclosed in the listing. Would not stay again. Also had some exposed wiring down low that could be an issue for toddlers. We made the best of our stay but will not return nor would we recommend. No potable water should be disclosed up front. We would not have rented had we known that.

My family (4 adults & 2 children) recently spent six nights at this beautiful home right on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille. The views are stunning from any of the three decks!! Wonderful things we enjoyed: 1. This house has everything. Just bring your food! 2. We loved the dock, the kayaks & refreshing lake water. My grandson and I caught 2 trout right off the dock one evening. 3. The Wifi was excellent along with the dozens and dozens of DVD movies. 4. With two levels --there was plenty of room to move around and yet find a quiet place if we needed it. The beds had nice quality sheets and blankets. Bottom level has a walk-out deck, TV room, game table (which we loved) with all kinds of fun board games, pool table and the cutest little bar with microwave and small fridge! Also, a washer and dryer. 4. Cleanliness was a 5-star as was communication with the owners. We were greeted with fresh huckleberry pastries. Thanks Melody -- it's these small touches that make a vacation rental awesome! 5. So quiet here as it's on a bay with dead-end road fand few houses. However, in a year or two---- there will be more houses as they are selling lots right now. Not So Positive: 1. The listing said "air conditioning." We have spent a many summer weeks throughout the years in a cabin that had no air so I was looking so forward to a/c. However, the a/c can only be found in the 2 main level bedrooms. Not enough to keep the whole house cool. I slept in the non a/c bedroom and it was hot at night as I couldn't open the window the first two nights because of the smoke. After that, it was okay when the smoke cleared. 2. The listing also said that check-out was 11am. The contract that I signed when I got there stated 10am. 3. I have never experienced VRBO neighbors that was so unkind. I know the owners have no control over this! I have never had a complaint against my family until now. Apparently, playing games INSIDE at midnight -- we were too loud as texted to the owner. Also, a complaint that the music coming from the dock was loud. (We couldn't even hear the music up at the house.) The same neighbor's hubby used the F-word several times when my husband kindly asked to turn away in his driveway. It was very sad to experience. But, these "neighbors" would certainly NOT deter us from going back! We had an AWESOME memorable time! Thank you again John and Melody!

Amazing stay at this property! John and his wife are to date the most attentive hosts we have had on VRBO given how they stock essentials and welcome guests! Spectacular scenery, pure water! A simpler, back to nature paradise...plus fun kayaks and pool table for the family.

Just what we were looking for! The house had everything we needed to self-cater, and the location on a quiet bay is wonderful. Owners are easy to communicate with and house was spotless. Pool table and movies were a hit when we weren’t on the water. Thanks!

The property owner met us at the property, provided us with keys, gave a quick walk through of the property and amenities, and left freshly made huckleberry pastries, which was very nice. The property was very clean, plenty of towels and a variety of coffee pods for the keurig. However, we brought our own coffee and there was a standard coffee maker. The property is a ways out of Sagle, but a beautiful drive with lots of deer and turkeys. Very nice boat dock and manual lift. Use the lift, even though it's manual, we left our boat out overnight and ended up with some dock scuff, because even though very little wind, there were some big rollers coming into the bay in the mornings. Boat trailer parking is a bit of a challenge as the road coming in is narrow and limited parking, as with most lakefront properties. Luckily we have friends in Sagle to leave the trailer, it was just easier. Overall, very nice two story home with plenty of room, great decks and great views, which is what we were looking for. Didn't mind the steep stairs to lake, since we don't get much exercise on vacation, this helped make up some of the difference. Hope and Beyond Hope is across the bay with two fabulous restaurants we enjoyed boating over to for dinner and/or lunch, same with Sandpoint, where there is a nice marina in the heart of town.

My family and I had a wonderful stay! Amazing views and perfect lake access. John was a great host!

We loved everything about our stay at the house. John was very nice to deal with and the kids loved the movie treats and snacks they left for us to enjoy. I really LOVED the views, they never got old.

Overall the property was everything we expected and had a wonderful stay!

The house was perfectly appointed. Everyone in our party was very comfortable. John and Mel welcomed us and made us feel 110% at home. The property overlooks lake Pend Oreille, and the view was absolutely stunning. We caught several nice fish off the dock, and there are alot of deer near the bay that you'll see in mornings and evenings. We would count 20-30 most nights driving back home from dinner. Would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend to my friends and family. Thanks John and Mel for a wonderful trip!

Loved staying with the whole family. Kids loved the kayaking and playing in the water. We were very well taken care of! They even left fresh pastries and movie night treats for the kids. Great stay!

Wonderful home in a great location overlooking Camp Bay! John and Melody were friendly and attentive hosts, and the home’s amenities and views were exactly what we were looking for. Enjoyed the dock and the pool table especially. Peaceful beyond measure - even watched an eagle fly right past us on the deck with a large trout in its talons our first evening there. Lots of wildlife, good walks and views every direction you look.

Beautiful lakefront and solitude. Would really like to have potable water - we needed to go through a large number of bottles during our stay. All other aspects of the trip were great, and John was a very accommodating and helpful.

Stunning location, tranquil and relaxing, with so many amenities. Numerous places to perch and read a book, paddle a kayak, watch a movie, roast s’mores, listen to the lake, stargaze and simply enjoy this perfect piece of Idaho. Kids could remote school and husband could check in with work (though he didn’t want to!) if needed. Wonderful vacation had by all. And the hosts were so generous and friendly- we would love to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

We loved our stay at this property. The house was very clean, comfortable and updated and had everything we needed. The dock was in excellent condition and the location can't be beat- very quiet bay with beautiful views. Great for swimming and paddlboarding.

We enjoyed our stay. John and his wife went out of their way to make us feel welcome with pastries and a tour. You could not beat the bay for a view a calm waters. The kayaks were great and inside they had lots of movies and games which the kids loved. One of only bummers is we went to use the grill and it didn’t have enough briquettes so that didn’t work out too well that night. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Every year my 2 sons and I take a week's vacation. This has become our favorite. Meals on the deck overlooking the lake. Using the included kayaks. Fishing off the dock. They even have floaties for swimming. Very quiet and peaceful, but close to a lot of attractions if you wish to venture out. For us, it's a great place to decompress and relax. There is internet access and a good selection of movies if you wish; or you can drink coffee on the deck and enjoy the view. It is always very clean with everything you might want, down to towels for swimming. We'll be back next year.

Wonderful property with amazing views and protected bay. Decks are exquisite! Home offered perfect layout for multi-generations and was well furnished,decorated and cared for. Hosts John and Melody are incredibly generous with pantry and are absolutely dedicated to guests having fun.Thank you from our entire family! Chris

House had great views, comfortable beds, well stocked, & nice dock for the boat. Family enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit & plenty of outdoor seating. Many extras.

We had the best vacation ever. John's house on the water was wonderful. Every thing we hoped it would be and what it was advertised to be. The use of the kayaks and fishing gear off the dock made for many enjoyable mornings and afternoons. Sitting on the deck over looking the Lake Pend Oreille at sunrise and sunset made the beginning and end of the day perfect. If you are looking for a wonderful , relaxing time in North Idaho, I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you John, for all the wonderful memories. We will be back in 2 years and hopefully rent from you again. No place I'd rather be. I highly recommend this house if you want to have the best vacation ever. Comfortable beds, pool table, kayaks, fishing gear, lots of bottled water, clean and wonderful.
