10/10 Excellent
"Debbie is one of the best hosts we have ever had. She communicates well and clearly, and is friendly.The property is almost ideal. We had extremely hot weather and were worried that with the western exposure it could heat up quickly later in the day, but without any air conditioning, it stayed incredibly cool inside.The deck is perfect with a nice patio table, two lounge chairs, and an immaculate view. We barbecued each evening and watched the sunset.The home is one of the most well-appointed we have ever stayed in. There are tons of towels and blankets available. There is a little bit of every kind of OTC medicine you might need, the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials like spices, Ziplocs, coffee, etc.The bed is comfortable and we slept well because it was cool inside.Here are our wishlist items for this property: a dishwasher! Ha! But we have stayed in many places without one. A smart TV would be nice, but also not as important at the Lake where we don't watch much TV. And, access to the water.We did walk down into Coolin and visit the water there, which is very close. Having the Leonard Paul Store and the coffee shop so close and walkable was a huge advantage! But, it did mean we ate too much pie.Overall, we would not only definitely stay here again, but we would highly recommend it to friends and family!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had the most amazing 2.5 week stay at this special cabin. Our family loved it. Priest Lake is stunning and crystal clean. The direct water access was a huge plus. We loved jumping off the dock, swimming, and paddle boarding (we had our own); we also rented a boat for the weekend and enjoyed tubing and attempting to water ski. Overall, the space was comfortable and well-appointed. But, the best part by far was the incredible view. The sunsets are second to none! Chandra and Rick were really nice, helpful, and communicative. There was a potential power outage and they told us about it right away."
