About this property

Charming Waterfront Pine Cabin on Curlew Lake

Come relax in our wood paneled cabin with direct access to Curlew Lake. The cabin is easily accessible from the paved road and is nestled on a quiet bay that is a no-wake zone, making it even safer for swimming, kayaking, etc. The bay is brimming with wildlife from bald eagles, osprey, heron, turtles, frogs, beavers, deer, and more! Enjoy watching the family of bald eagles that nest directly across the bay, with ideal viewing from the deck. Curlew Lake is known for its fishing, year-round. Fish from the dock or put your boat in at the public launch at the State Park. Great spot for ice fishing in the winter too. Cabin is stocked with games for all ages, and Roku for access to your streaming services.

Our cabin includes a large open kitchen with stone counter tops and new appliances, 3 bedrooms that sleep 8 comfortably. Large covered deck with a gas grill. In cold weather warm up around the wood stove. Great spot for families, small group, or a couples weekend.

Lots to do nearby, or just relax and enjoy the natural views. Located near the charming town of Republic, hikes and cross-country skiing in the Colville National Forest and the Kettle Crest and PNW Trail, biking and walking on the nearby Ferry County Rail to Trail (the former train trestle bridge is around a 10 minute walk from cabin), horseback trail riding tours available locally. Popular area for hunting. Even the drive on the Scenic Sherman Byway is itself a treat. In addition to ice fishing and nordic skiing, Winter activities also include snowmobiling and some families enjoy ice skating on the lake! If coming during winter months, we highly recommend a 4WD vehicle to handle snow given the slope of the driveway.

The former gold mining town of Republic offers local eateries, a microbrewery (that also has great rootbeer and homemade sodas!), quaint independent shops, natural food store, ice cream, pizzeria, grocery store, hardware store, library, etc. As the county seat, Republic also has a hospital. Near the center of town is the Stonerose Fossil Site, where both kids and adults will have fun digging and exploring for ancient fossils. The Eagle Race Track hosts car races on many weekends.

A different experience awaits in each of the 4 seasons. Come relax, enjoy, and make memories!

Great stay in Republic

My family and I had a wonderful stay at John and Kelly’s. We found the home spacious and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. John was easy to communicate with and very responsive. They allowed us the opportunity of checking in early which was generous of them. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home over Christmas!

Necessary Respite

The circumstances for our visit were less than optimal but the cabin was a cozy retreat for our weary hearts. Mom and three sisters enjoyed the ample seating, well stocked kitchen, beautiful location and cozy beds. Only one bathroom which was the one negative. Better signage for the driveway is a must especially when it’s very dark.

Tranquil Lake View

My family and I loved our short stay. We wish we could have stayed longer! The cabin is well equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the view is unbelievable. It was so peaceful just sitting on the back deck looking at the amazing view, fishing off the dock, and watching the eagles catch their meals. The surrounding area had more fishing, hiking, and a short drive into Republic for groceries and fossil digging. We definitely plan on returning!

Fishing trip

The cabin was excellent. We especially appreciated the fully appointed kitchen and full sized deck. One of our party commented on how clean the barbecue was. He prepared the entire dinner he committed to on that barbecue. Lake access was a little bit limited by not having a gentle slope on either side of the dock from which to launch our float tubes. In our case, it turned out not to be an issues. Luckly, we had access to a roomy aluminum boat and a great nearby place to launch the boat with free multi-day storage, nearby Curlew State Park. Future guests who are coming for the fishing should be advised of the really nice feature--free launching and trailer parking at the state park--as long as you possess a Washington State fishing license or guest permit. A Discovery permit, ($30), usually required of campers, is not required for simply parking a vehicle and/or trailer for multiple days. While the hosts warned us about the limited parking, it was perfectly adequate for our three vehicles. We all especially appreciated the comfy, air conditioned space after a long, hot day on the water, and I really appreciated the great water pressure in the shower. I wasn't expecting that. This is a great place to take a group fishermen.

This was an absolute pleasure to stay at. What a lovely home. The view was stunning. The wildlife on the lake was fun to watch. We got to see baby otters play on the dock. The location is great. Host was extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Seamless check in and out. Beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Towels were plentiful and this place was white glove clean. Well exceeding my expectations. We definitely hope to return.

What a beautiful view of the lake! The cabin was so cozy, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the large, well stocked kitchen too! The Wi-Fi is very fast, which was so nice. The heater works great, which we really appreciated since the nights were getting cold. Phones were a little spotty with Verizon service, but we were able to make it work. It was wonderful watching the deer pass by and the bald eagles soar over the lake. We only wish we had time to get out on the lake and catch some fish! We hope to stay here again soon!

Lovely lakeview cabin on Curlew Lake - so peaceful. Great outdoor space, with gas grill which we used. And a great place to watch the tame resident deer. The great room was just that - huge! Lots of places to sit and relax and read. Kitchen was also very roomy with a big round rug in the middle to warm your feet. Tons of counter space. Made cooking a joy. Cabin was very clean and well stocked with TP, towels, cleaning products, etc. Cabin is a great base for visiting ghost towns (Molson, Bodie, etc) and taking scenic tours. The cabin has a really nice dock, although we did not use it. The only limitation for large parties was the single bathroom, but we made it work for us

Clean, equipped and relaxing place to stay

Enjoyed our 2-day stay and John was very responsive on check in process and questions. Nice dock to moor boat and easy access to good fishing spots as well as short walk to trestle trailhead. Cooked a few full meals-kitchen has everything you need. It was hot when we stayed but the AC kept us cool and comfortable. Would stay again!

Amazing

Normally the family chooses ocean stays, this time it was my turn to pick and I found this place. It exceeded ALL expectations! Beautiful location right on the lake. The balcony had a wonderful couch that I spent hours reading on. The family spent most of the time in the water floating, kayaking and having a nice relaxing time. The view was spectacular and the view for sunset was heavenly. The place was stocked with towels, extra pillows and blankets. They also had extra locks at the tops of the sliding glass door and all other doors which was perfect since my 4 yr old nephew just learned to unlock doors. They had a huge assortment of games and access to all streaming platforms. Any questions I had were answered promptly by John. This cabin will be saved for next time, absolutely a must try vacation spot!
