About this property

Blissful Lakefront Living Minutes From Dover Bay & Sandpoint

The Lakeshore Lodge is a stunning, 5-bedroom retreat on the shores of beautiful Lake Pend O'Reille. Located at the end of a tranquil, traffic-free lane, Lakeshore Lodge offers blissful seclusion yet is only 3 minutes from the Dover Bay community and 7 minutes from Sandpoint, Idaho - voted America's 'Most Beautiful Small Town' by USA Today and Rand McNally.

Lakeshore Lodge is all North Idaho - big beams, big trees, big views - but step inside and you'll discover a retreat that is more chic than rustic: the wood and stainless steel kitchen; the ridiculously comfortable leather sofa set; the elegant tiled bathrooms; the spacious bedrooms (all but one facing the lake); the ample second-floor deck; the jacuzzi etc.

Just a few steps from the front door brings you to our private deck and L-shaped dock. You'll enjoy this special spot all year round: swimming, boating, paddling or just admiring the glorious views across the lake with a glass of wine in hand.

The expansive backyard is big enough for a family soccer match and includes a large jungle gym for the little ones. The back deck is perfect for barbecuing and has a large jacuzzi for relaxing tired muscles after a long day skiing at Schweitzer or hiking the area's numerous trails.

The Lakeshore Lodge has five bedrooms: two on the ground floor and three (including the master) on the second floor. The standard bed set up is three queens, one twin and a double set of bunk beds (big enough for adults.) We've also got a high-quality queen blow-up bed for bigger groups. Two big families? Three couples? No problem.

It has three bathrooms: one downstairs (2 sinks, 1 shower, 1 toilet) and two upstairs (master en suite with 2 sinks + shared bathroom for the other two bedrooms.)

Other appliances / amenities of note: LCD TV with cable, DVD player, wine fridge (I can stock with bottles from my collection if you're interested), gas fireplace with hearth.

Another plus: my property manager is your next door neighbor, and my relatives are all over town. There will always be somebody who can help if you have any issues or need local guidance on where to go and what to see!

Excellent place, great host
Our group of 10 greatly enjoyed our stay at the Lakeshore Lodge. The place was well furnished, the kitchen was well stocked, and the numerous games, puzzles & books and the hot tub kept us entertained. The location was also excellent--right on the lake, very close to Sandpoint, and 30 mts from Schweitzer. Communication was always prompt as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Stay
We loved our stay! The house was clean and fit our needs perfectly. The neighborhood is quiet and the lake is absolutely beautiful. The amenities at the home are fantastic. The bedding and towels are great, two refrigerators, two dryers for beach towels, a big back yard and large dock worked really well for our family. We will definitely rent this property again!

Everything was better than described in the details of the property.
The home was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed to prepare meals for nine people. The home is beautiful and very well maintained. The location was quiet but yet close to town and right on the lake. I will rent here again.

Amazing Getaway on the Lake
This property was absolutely fantastic. The house is beautiful, clean and very nicely furnished. Location was right on the lake in little Dover. We swam from the dock every day and enjoyed the multiple patio settings. Inside the house was amazing - kitchen was extremely well stocked, the rooms were beautiful, the beds were comfy. Our party of 8 had ample room to relax. Highly recommend this place!

All in our family group repeatedly commented on how very nice the Lake Lodge was: lake location, inside spaces, bed/bathrooms,, laundry,totally outfitted kitchen, outside spaces, waterside spaces, backyard. Scott checked on us on first day and Bridgette, next door, always available by phone or in person for questions. We all very satisfied with our stay. Hopefully can return.

Fantastic lake vacation!
I had my doubts staying at a rental place that had little or no reviews at the time I booked it. But this place far exceeded my expectations. It is brand new and well stocked from bedding to towels to kitchen items--everything you need. The setting couldn't be better--right at the end of a quiet little lane. The only thing we regretted about our vacation is that it wasn't longer!

Wonderful place
We have been renting places for the past 10 years on Pend Orielle and this was one of our favorites! Very clean and lots of room for my family. The home is very well made and sound proof which was nice when we had 2 babies. It was also very well stocked with all the necessities we needed. The dock was great and the kids had a blast jumping into the water. It was big enough for all our floaties too! We will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing stay!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Daddy Brixen grew up in Sandpoint and always dreamed of having a place on the lake. Mommy Brixen was born in Bangkok, moved to the USA with her family and later met Daddy at a Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong. Now Daddy and Mommy have got four boys (Tai, Logan, Drake & Kiva) who absolutely love the Lakeshore Lodge.

Why they chose this property

The first time you walk out on that dock, you'll understand. It is very, very difficult to find such a private, quiet spot on the lake that is located so close to town. I know, because I spent the first half of my life exploring Lake Pend O'Reille and the mountains surrounding it.

What makes this property unique

The Lakeshore Lodge will be my legacy to my four sons and their families. And I hope it can become a part of your treasured family memories as well.
