Situated in Priest Lake, this charming cabin for $888 per night is a great choice for your next trip. — Please note for booking: Check-in and check-out days are Sundays, so if the calendar shows a Sunday date in blue, the property is available that week. — Thirty feet from the water, this cozy lakefront cottage features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an open living and kitchen area facing the lake. Ideal for all ages, the property’s geography is completely level for easy access to the cottage and private beach, with no hillsides or steep steps. Enjoy the private dock, well-equipped kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, and a large 24’ x 16’ front deck just feet from water’s edge—perfect for sipping a beverage and keeping an eye on the kids playing in the water. Located on Sherwood Beach, the “afternoon sun side” of Priest Lake, this area is arguably the lake’s best beach due to its sandy beaches, sandy lake bottom, and shallow water. Exiting the cottage door and wading 100 yards out from your private beach with only a gentle, gradual increase in water depth (only 3.5 feet deep at the dock) makes it the perfect place for both children and adults. The shallow depth also means you’ll have the warmest summer water temperatures on the lake, reaching 76-80 degrees during peak summer weeks. It’s an extraordinary location to swim and play in the crystal clear water and end the day watching the gorgeous sunset across the lake. With two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main floor and two bedrooms and one bathroom on the second floor (1 queen bed in each room), this is the ideal home for families or a group of friends. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make and serve meals. The counter-height dining table has two stools that push completely under the table so it can be used as an extension of the kitchen counter. Dine inside with lake views, or share a meal at the brand new outdoor dining table, ready for lunch in the shade or a perfectly timed sunset dinner. Good to Know: - Main Floor Bathroom: Remodeled in 2021 - Second Floor Bathroom: Located under the pitched roof (see photo), with a smaller stall shower than the Main Floor Bathroom. ____ Boat from your private dock to delicious meals at the resorts on the lake, cruise the beautiful shoreline and islands all the way to the north end of the main lake, then enjoy boating the scenic two-mile thoroughfare to Upper Priest Lake, taking in its undeveloped natural beauty. Access miles of hiking, mountain biking, and motorcycle/ATV trails from the cottage, many of which lead along roaring creeks to peaks of the Selkirk Mountains and alpine lakes. Choose one of several walking/jogging loops from the back door of the cottage, golf nearby at Priest Lake Golf Course (only a 20-minute drive to the west side of the lake), or simply relax on the deck or beach with your favorite book and beverage. Experience a lake vacation at Sherwood Beach Cottage and you’ll discover why Priest Lake is affectionately named Idaho’s Crown Jewel. — CLEANING — A $250 cleaning fee is charged for each weekly rental. Pest Control: The property is professionally treated twice per year, because nobody wants a spider in the house. — DINING — Indoor Dining Table seats 6 with stools on one side that can be pushed in for easy access to the counter height table (more work space for food prep).
