We were scheduled to fly to Maui on the day of the devastating wildfires for stay near Lahaina. We canceled that trip and looked to see if there was a last minute alternative within driving distance of a home in Seattle. We feel really lucky to have found this gorgeous spot. The location is excellent - on a sandy (for a lake anyway) beach with gorgeous views of Lake Pend Oreille. It's within an easy walk of the charming downtown, which I still recognize from my childhood summers spent there despite its gentrification. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and well appointed. It wasn't perfect but the things I didn't like are fairly picky, such as the lack of any beach equipment (which is something I've come to expect in beachfront properties). I also didn't love the early morning leaf blower outside our patio. I wish they had umbrellas at the beach & allowed floaties in the pool, but again, those are pretty minor. We don't often stay at vacation rentals more than once, but agree that we would stay here again.
