Nita and Jim are the nicest, most thoughtful people you could ever meet. This place is special, spectacular views, complete kitchen facility, and comfortable decor.
Stayed for a week long hunting trip had a great experience with family members would recommend it. loved the views from the balcony. Jaunita and her husband are friendly people and very welcoming great trip thanks
Lovely home with all the amenities you could want. Beautifully thought out decor, spotless, comfy beds, and a stunning view off the balcony. The home owners were so welcoming and responsive! It really is off the main road. We arrived after dark, but the directions provided by home owners and signage in place made it very easy to find the property in the dark.1 hour away from Kootenai Falls and Suspension Brisge that we highly recommend!
We loved our stay! Great host ,wonderful view, great getaway! The road in can be a challenge this time of year 4x4 or all wheel drive would be a plus! The pin for it is in bonnersferry but it is about 10 miles north witch makes the view all that much better! Jim is a fantastic host! Thanks again for a great place!
Location had outstanding views, is off grid but all the amazing amenities that you would need. Owners have done a beautiful job, very clean and comfortable. Jim and Nita are very accommodating and really made our 30th anniversary extra special with all of the extras they did for us!
A comfortable, quiet, unique place to relax and enjoy the view. The host greeted us and showed us all the details of the place she checked on us through out our stay to see if we needed anything. The place is fully stocked with everything including snacks.
Exactly what we were looking for. A quiet location to get away. The hosts were awesome, made sure we had everything we needed. The house was more than we expected. It had such a homey feel. The kitchen had everything you need and more. Great deck with a great view. If ever in the area again will definitely be back.
You won't find better hosts! Jim and Nita were incredibly thoughtful, sweet and practical. The cabin was a great space for my mother in law to have her own room, and my kiddos to have cozy sleeping spaces (hide-a-bed).
The road was well maintained gravel and a gorgeous drive!

This is where you can experience true “off the grid” vacationing. You are truly in authentic, beautiful, northern Idaho where the scenery is unbeatable and there is no one nearby for miles. The property is self sufficient. This is the answer for a rustic, restful, scenic stay off the beaten path. We will return again.
My family stayed here on the way to Canada. Jim and Juanita are the perfect hosts! Directions to the house were easy to follow, and Jim met us when we pulled in. He showed us around the space, and let us know there was some complimentary snacks and food. The beds were comfortable and everything is very clean. Definitely a more fun and enjoyable experience than staying at a hotel! Be sure to do the bear scavenger hunt game that Juanita put together and see if you can count all the bears!

The owners provided EVERYTHING from soup, bottled water, laundry detergent. The cabin was so cute and efficient. Very comfortable. AND did I say CUTE? If you can count all the bears in the cabin...you could win $10.00 off your stay. We were close. Super CLEAN and quiet. It was my favorite place of our trip.
Stayed at the Sleepy Bear Lodge with my wife and daughter during a heat wave. Each day was over 100 degrees F and that pretty much put a damper on our outdoor plans to hike and horseback ride. BUT we enjoyed a very comfortable stay and essentially remained lazy (which is probably what we needed). We would highly recommend this lodge for those who are more in tune with a semi-wilderness vacation than being pampered in a luxery hotel somewhere. The view north from the deck is absolutely breathtaking. Spent many hours outside there in the cool of the evenings. Adding this to our top locations and memories we have experienced!
I can't express how wonderful our week was in Northern Idaho. It was such a beautiful place to experience and the memories of our time together are priceless. Jim and Nita were wonderful hosts that made sure we had what we needed but also respected our privacy. They have put so much heart and soul into their VRBO. It was tastefully decorated with a lodge feel and of course, Bears. Every detail was well thought out. The place was clean and was well stocked with everything that we needed. The beds, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable. They had fans in each bedroom and plenty of space for hanging/storing clothing, jackets, shoes etc.. The kitchen was well stocked and even included cans of soup, some snacks and water bottles in the fridge. The living space had board games, puzzles, Readers digest, a tv for streaming shows or movies and lots of extra throw blankets. The North deck had a grill, a fire pit, outdoor seating and AMAZING views. We were also very impressed with the quality of the construction, the furniture, the beds and the bedding and the decor. It's a bit of an adventurous drive up to their place but that only added to the experience. I hope we get the chance to Soar with the Eagles and Hibernate with the Bears again in the future. Jim and Nita - Thank you for your hospitality and for the parting gift. Your place really felt like a home away from home. Wishing you all the best 🙏
The lodging was very beautiful and the owners were very helpful, welcoming and friendly! Great scenic views, lots of peace and relaxation we really loved it.
We had such a lovely stay - thee most sweet and friendly hostess you’ll probably ever meet. Felt just like home! Definitely our new go to place when we go away
The accommodations were fantastic, the views were amazing. The owners were friendly and educated us on off grid living. Will definitely rebook for future needs.
We enjoyed our stay!!! The view is incredible, and we loved the peacefulness of everything! The inside is so cozy, inviting, and beautifully decorated, I wish I didn't have to leave.
Host was there to greet us when we arrived and to show us around. She was extremely thoughtful about our birthday and even put up a sign and got us dessert. The views were spectacular, the beds were comfy, the place was immaculately clean and the bird sounds (even a nighthawk!!!) and seeing wild turkeys was wonderful. I would also recommend not turning the additional space into a hunting lodge, as our wildlife are already in peril.
The hosts are fantastic. The cabin is unbelievably clean, well decorated and grounds are peaceful. I’d highly recommend anyone to stay and enjoy an amazing cabin that has such meticulous detail.
The place has every amenity you could think of. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into the place. Everything very clean. Beds comfortable we all slept very well. Fans and AC are great for sleeping too :) loved drinking coffee on the swing on the front balcony. The views are breathtaking. It’s a few miles up a dirt/gravel road off the 95 but I thought it was well worth the drive.
