Our home is two blocks from the beloved Q'emiln Park, a local’s favorite for river and nature fun. The park sprawls across 78.5 acres and offers these wonderful experiences: a swimming beach, boat launch, 40-acre trail system, rock climbing, volleyball courts, horseshoes, picnic areas, a playground, concession stand and more.

ENCHANTING YARD With pine trees towering above and rock formations covered in moss, you may think our yard is a scene from The Lord of the Rings. Our hilly side and back yards give way to a grassy lawn which is the place for kids’ games and picnics – or snowball fights in winter. Around back, fire up the stainless steel grill for steaks or your catch from the river. And spend time in our gazebo, where views of our landscape bring you back to what matters. LIVING ROOM After days on the river or ski slopes, our living room is where everyone can hang out. The sectional sofa invites you to relax while two reclining chairs are plush and perfectly nostalgic. Sunlight streams in through five windows while wildlife artwork nods to our North Idaho setting.
