The kids are gone, the dock is empty, and this place is too special not to share. We've converted the upstairs into a one bedroom apartment for your enjoyment. It features a queen size bed and the kitchen/ dining area includes a set of twin bunk beds. All rooms share views of Lake Pend Oreille and the Selkirk Mountains, We just built a ramp directly from parking to the front door. Our home is surrounded by giant cedar trees and looks across the lake at Sandpoint (6 mile drive) and Schweitzer Mountain (18 mile drive). Full access to all other property amenities featuring our fire pit (Smores anyone?) and hot tub in the Winter, or the dock, BBQ pit, waterslide and lake in the Summer. Additional amenities include a heated ski room and expert equipment maintenance on request in the winter, plus on-site boat moorage in the summer. We also now offer half-price Schweitzer tickets for up to two guests during the winter. But what truly sets this property apart is having the owners as a full time resource. We raised our kids here, know all the local activities and destinations, and can help you solve unanticipated travel needs. Sort of a concierge service.

Visited Sandpoint over Labor Day Weekend, staying with Shep & Joy was the highlight! Their space has beautiful views & lots of fun things to do regardless of the season. Felt right at home, such a blessing to share their home for us to experience!
We had an absolute amazing time at Shep and Joy's place. The water slide, garden, and kitty cat made being on the lake extra special. Shep and Joy were especially kind to our children. We will stay again!
My husband and I visited Sagle to attend a wedding. What a beautiful location!! The unit is mostly equipped with all you will need. Both Shep and Joy were fabulous hosts! We want to come back in the winter when there is snow!!!
Beautiful property. We loved our stay and sad we didn’t have time to enjoy the dock and lake. Owners were wonderful. Shep greeted us upon arrival, and shared area information with us. Although the VRBO was above the owners living area, we never saw them, but made himself available if we did need something. Definitely stay here again if in the area.
Shep and Joy are wonderful guests. They are the true meaning of hospitality and made my friend and I feel welcomed and at home. Shep also gave us some great insights and local recs. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely want to stay with them and hope to see if Shep can give us a tour of the mountain!
The property was absolutely beautiful. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The beds were extremely comfortable. All three bedrooms had king-sized beds and fireplaces. The kitchen was well organized and labeled and everything you will need. We enjoyed the game room I give it a 10 out of 10. I love Matt, he's a gem. The check-in and check-out was easy. I love Heaven's Cabins and will be booking with them again.
Beautiful lake place with wonderful hosts. Our kids absolutely loved the slide on the dock and gorgeous setting. The beds were cozy and place was so clean. We’ll definitely be back!
We were traveling through from a week long vacation and only booked for one night. We wished we could of stayed longer, as the stay was perfect. We met Shep when we arrived and he was such a pleasant host. Wished we had more time to chat….next time. The space was perfect and had everything we needed and wanted. The view was spectacular and I hope we can return one day. Highly recommend!!
We had a great time on this trip. The hosts were extremely nice and rooms were very clean. The lake access was just what we were looking for and would definitely stay here again.
Our family of four had a great time at this location. The accommodations were clean and just the right size for us. Despite not having a kitchen, it was well equipped with many kitchen tools and utensils that were useful. Our kids loved swimming by the dock and the slide. The hosts were beyond caring and informative. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
I can’t say enough about Shep, Joy and the rental property. They were absolutely front row and went out of their way to make our vacation a positive experience. Communication and response timeliness was great. The rental and grounds were exceptionally well kept. You can tell that Shep and Joy have put a lot of hard work into their place and are proud to be able to share with others. Will definitely be going back!
A lovely base camp to spend a few days in the Sandpoint area. A 10-12 minute drive to downtown made for the perfect mix of seclusion while still having access to all that sandpoint offers. The hosts (Shep and Joy) are very friendly and welcoming.
This was a short and sweet weekend filled with lots of activities. Having access to the lake was great! We loved having a fire and s’mores provided by the hostess who was a gem :)
Things didn’t work out as planned with our trip but they worked around our schedule changes and were very sweet. Will book again and recommend them to friends!
Comfortable studio over the main house with amazing view of lake and mountains complete with eagles. Host is very friendly and helpful. Close to Sandpoint while being quiet and out of town. Would give it more stars if I could!
Love the location and view.
Shep and Joy are outstanding folks.

About the host
Hosted by Shep Snow
We're both career military officers and travelled all over the USA and the World for 30 years. Shep is now the director of an alpine ski racing team, and also runs an avalanche school. Joy is an avid skier, sailor and kayaker when not keeping a lid on things at home.
Why they chose this property
As we prepared to retire from the military we searched for a small town to raise our children. Another essential ingredient was finding a place where we could pursue our hobbies of skiing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, etc, etc. Sandpoint has it all!
What makes this property unique
Our home offers the quiet of the South shore while being minutes away from downtown Sandpoint. Most of the residences on our road are vacant in the Winter, and few things are finer than sitting in the hot tub, gazing at lights across the lake with the only sounds being snowflakes floating through the trees. In the Summer, the lake gives us fast and easy access to everything town has to offer.
