About this property
Lake Koocanusa Suite w/ Beach Access & Marina Dock
Lakefront Secondary Suite on Lake Koocanusa — Beach & Dock Access
Welcome to our beautiful secondary suite on Lake Koocanusa, completed in June 2023. The suite is located just behind and slightly above the main house, offering a partially restricted view of the lake while still providing easy access to the waterfront and marina.
Guests can relax on the large deck, enjoy full access to the private beach on the property, and use the dock overlooking the marina with space to moor your boat. The home is situated in a protected marina area, making the water calmer — great for swimming, paddleboarding, and families with kids.
There’s plenty to do nearby:
• Hiking trails
• Mountain biking
• Dirt biking, quads, and side-by-sides (please follow local road rules)
• Sunshine Houseboats Waterpark (10–15 minutes away)
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, fishing trip, or relaxing lake getaway, this property offers a peaceful setting with great access to the water and outdoor adventure.

Beautiful property ! Perfect location in Koocanusa Village on water. Home has all the amenities you need for a vacation with friends and family. Owners house is just in front of being right on the water, but you can still see the marina from the patio. Turf grass, sandy beach and dock lead right onto water. Kove is the ideal place to paddle board, swim, and even fish. Highly recommend this property

Excellent property. Great family fun
Family and I wanted a lakefront stay and this property fit the bill perfectly. Right by the water but in protected from the open lake by the marina area. Kids and I SUP'd and played in the water. Lots of room within the property, kids loved the bunk beds. The marina store had some provisions if you forgot any (bread, liquor, etc). Host was readily available and checkin/out was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again. Great first experience at Koocanusa

Our host was responsive, kind, and wanted to ensure our stay was comfortable. If we needed help or had questions, they were answered promptly. The host accommodated our needs and requirements and was respectful in their communication. The rental was exceptionally clean, let in ample sunlight, and was very spacious. The kitchen had the basics for any morning routine, including a coffee maker, microwave, and cooking and cleaning supplies.The beds were very comfortable, and blackout curtains were ideal for sleep. Complimenting the sleep setup was a fast-reacting thermostat so we could have warmth in the morning and cool as we settled in for sleep.We felt at home, and I loved the high chairs and the counter facing out the window to plug in and work on my laptop in the morning. We would definitely stay there again in future.

The Dock With No Water
The property was wonderful and the interior was modern, had air-conditioning which was definitely needed, was clean and fully stocked with pots/pans, utensils, small appliances, etc. you would need to make meals. The furniture and the beds were extremely comfortable. Our host answered my emails promptly and the directions she gave us to get there was spot on.We had brought a small boat with to be on the water fishing and what drew me into this particular rental was the photo of the dock in the water. Little did I know that the water is only there mid June at the earliest so we did not have a dock in the water for the boat ... instead it was a dock in the sand. Lake Koocanusa is drained throughout the summer and autumn months as the dam on the US side uses the water for electricity and for their own downstream uses. It takes until mid to late June for the spring runoff on the Canadian side to refill the lake. Fortunately we did find a spot where we could launch the boat from the trailer into the lake and we were able to enjoy fishing and exploring along the shore. The only improvement that I can think of would be to interject one word into the title of the photo and that would be"seasonal" dock.

About the host
Hosted by Loren Feyter
We are a family of five who dreamed of building a home in the beautiful Lake Koocanusa area, and we’re excited to share this special place with you. We love spending time outdoors, on the water, and with family, and this property was designed to be a place where those memories can happen.
We live in the main house on the property and rent out the secondary suite, which allows guests to enjoy their own private space while knowing we’re nearby if anything is needed during your stay.
While we’re new to hosting on VRBO, we are committed to making sure you have everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable visit. We take pride in our property and want every guest to enjoy the lake, the peaceful surroundings, and all the adventure this area has to offer.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lake Koocanusa!

Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it offers some of the most beautiful views on Lake Koocanusa and easy access to a sandy beach, which makes spending time by the water effortless and enjoyable.
Our family fell in love with this lake in the early 2000s — the stunning turquoise water, peaceful surroundings, and typically calm weather make it a truly special place. There’s something unique about the combination of mountain scenery, warm summer days, and quiet evenings by the lake that keeps bringing us back year after year.
Building our home here was a dream come true, and we’re excited to share this incredible location with others who want to experience everything Lake Koocanusa has to offer.

What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly special is the combination of easy lake access, a quiet setting, and the protected marina location. Guests can enjoy direct access to a beautiful sandy beach, making it easy to spend the day swimming, relaxing, or playing by the water.
The dock is located within the marina, which keeps the water calmer and more protected from lake waves, boat traffic, and fast-moving watercraft. This creates a safer and more relaxing environment, especially for families and anyone wanting to enjoy the lake without constant wake or rough water.
With direct access to the dock, guests can keep their boat in the water for their entire stay and leave water toys and gear down by the shoreline, making lake days simple and stress-free. Instead of hauling equipment back and forth, you can spend more time enjoying your holiday and less time setting up.
For boating convenience, a boat launch is located just minutes away, making it quick and easy to get on the water when you arrive.
The quiet surroundings, sandy beach access, protected marina dock, and nearby boat launch make this property a comfortable and convenient place to experience Lake Koocanusa.
