About this property

Downtown Spirit Lake’s Only Rooftop Haven


A historic retreat in downtown Spirit Lake, Idaho, where rustic charm meets modern comfort.

Built in 1908 as the town’s first bank, this beautifully restored penthouse blends rich history with cozy elegance. Sunlight pours through large windows, highlighting warm wood accents, antique furnishings, and thoughtful touches. Relax by the electric fireplace, unwind on the plush sectional, or sip coffee on Spirit Lake’s only rooftop terrace—complete with a fire pit, outdoor sectional, and BBQ grill. With local shops, dining, and the lake just steps away, this unique getaway is perfect for both relaxation and adventure!

The Space:
Discover Spirit Lake
Located in the original Spirit Lake bank building, the Maine Street Penthouse puts you steps away from the best of downtown.

Wander Maine Street and grab a latte at Brickel Creek Coffee, browse handcrafted pieces at Sondahl Pottery, or savor a burger at Giorgi’s. Experience the town’s history at the White Horse Saloon—Idaho’s oldest continuously operating bar.

Just a short walk away, Spirit Lake invites you to kayak, fish, or picnic by the water. Venture further to discover hidden waterfalls and the Empire Trails, offering scenic hiking and biking paths along the lake’s northern shore.

For a day trip, Coeur d’Alene is just 26 miles away, while Spokane, WA, is a scenic 42-mile drive. Silverwood is a short 15-minute drive.

Spirit Lake- Penthouse

The property was in the middle of the quaint town of Spirit Lake. Great location for us. Property clean, well organized, great wifi, comfy bed & beautiful view. The penthouse is on second floor- so pack light or/ use multiple suitcases vs 1large. Other than the steps - it was perfect! Thanks for sharing- I would recommend this unit. Regards: Tammy

Home away from home

We live here in Spirit Lake and were having drywall work done and we rented this VRBO for 12 days. It was nice to be only 5 miles from home as we had to go home to tend to our fur babies! We enjoyed the comfort of home we felt here. Only suggestions i would make is the loft sleeps 6 but there are only 3 dishes in the set. Since we were there 12 nights, i cooked most meals and the pots and pans supply was not great but i had the luxury of grabbing some things from home. Only other issue is if you are a light sleeper dont plan on sleeping in! The physical therapy office below opens at 5 and you can hear everything! The hardware store uses a fork lift to bring pallets out to the curb every morning and the reverse beep gets annoying LOL! BUT..... these issues would not keep me us from going back! We did truly appreciate the comforts of home like having a washer and dryer!! The management staff was amazing as well!
