Our stay was filled with enjoying the hot Finnish sauna and marvelling at the record collection. A wonderful stay and we definitely enjoyed making new turkey friends. Furthermore, Susan and Tom have thought of everything that anyone staying there could possibly need. From delicious German beer all the way to reading glasses that my 26 year old self definitely didnt need. THANK YOU!! see you next time! 😘

Perfect charming quaint cottage
The host thought of everything you could possibly need or want for a weekend getaway. It was perfect for us to meet our family who live in Rathdrum. They walked in the cozy cabin and said “wow”! Susan welcomed us with a delicious cheese board and beverages. Her passion for her guest to be comfortable shows in every detail in every room. Perfecto! Irene and Mark

Truly beautiful
Host was amazing! Met us at the house and gave us a tour and left us with a charcuterie tray of delicious snacks. From there it was a stay filled with nature in a beautiful home. The wild turkeys that stopped by along with the curious Alpacas next door made this trip peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. We were just outside the town so restaurants and necessities were just right there. So glad we chose this place!

Best VRBO hosts ever
After a very long drive of over 7 hours, we were greeted with the biggest smile and welcoming hug than we have ever received from a host. After welcoming us inside we were delighted to find a welcoming charcuterie board consisting of fruits, assorted cheeses and meats. A wonderful unexpected bonus. The cabin is charming with a hint of modern and rustic all in one. The property is located in a very quiet are of Rathdrum and is easily located close to all of the things to do in the area, The refrigerator is stocked with items for your use as well as a nicely stocked pantry. All complementary and included in your stay. The larger of the two bedrooms has a wonderful king sized mattress while the smaller bedroom appears to be a queen. All the appliances are spotless and new. The property affords many hiking trails, be sure to hike up the "valley overlook" where you are treated to two adirondack chairs with sweeping views of the valley below. A daily visit by wild turkeys is very entertaining. There is a wood stove for cold nights and don't miss the sauna on the back porch. If conditions are ok, there is a nice fire pit in the back yard. There is air conditioning and heat via ductless heat pumps. There is a nice deck of the main living area. For longer term stays there is a washer and dryer to use.we will definitely book again if the need arises.

Attention to details and tranquility
This is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The attention to details, the quality of the furniture,the sheets the towels, the aromatics, and the overall appeal of this property made us wish we could stay for a month. Highly recommended.

Beyond Expectations!
This place was wonderful and relaxing. We always choose vacation rentals over hotels because we are more comfortable having room to stretch out. But this place offered so much more. It was close to restaurants but there was no need to go out with the ammenities provided. No detail was left out. We even got to Experience them shearing the alpacas during our stay which was fitting because we were in the area to attend modern homesteading conference.

A healing refuge at the mountain
My wife and I had such an unexpectedly wonderful stay at RMGH. Susan and Tom have created an oasis that truly was one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed at. We have travelled to a variety of destinations both in North America and abroad, but rarely have we encountered such loving details and finer touches. Susan and Tom really know how to create a special atmosphere. When we arrived we were very hungry and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious charcuterie, and ice cold beer in the fridge. The kitchen (spotless) and pantry is better stocked than most homes. The record collection could compete with the most diehard audiophiles. The furniture and antiques are impressive, yet comfortable and tastefully selected. The dog house is something from a fairytale. And the outdoor sauna basically insures you'll never want to leave. We loved our many hikes on the trails and some gentle snoozes in the hammock. And very much appreciated the loving cards and notes left for us. After suffering the greatest loss of our lives, my wife and I have set out on a healing journey. Susan and Tom's was our first stop and our memories there will always be cherished. Thank you so much for your love and compassion.

Rathdrum Gem!
What a find! We needed a place to sleep and shower while visiting family in the area. This vacation rental was so much more! The home is just lovely! It has been decorated with thought and care. The attention to every detail is amazing. Our host personally welcomed us to offer a walkthrough. We were tired and hungry after a day on the road. To our surprise, the kitchen was stalled with snacks, treats and beverages. No need for us to venture back out for a meal. Finally, Susan, is a wonderful host. She attended to our every need and then some. Susan was so accommodating and a joy to visit with. She was also respectful of giving us our space. This is by far the best VRBO we have rented. We’ll be back!

Perfection Extraordinaire
We just stayed at Thomas and Susan's Rathdrum Mountain House for 5 nights in the middle of April. It was truly one of the nicest and most beautiful and wonderful places we have ever stayed. We usually are van campers so this was luxurious for us. Previous reviewers have captured everything and we agree with all the comments. The house is beautiful, every detail is perfect and so well thought out. They were waiting for us when we arrived, and there was a lovely cheese, meat and fruit platter. The beds, linens, and bathroom products were exquisite. The kitchen appliances and cookware were top notch. The sauna was absolutely wonderful, the outdoor fire pit next to the seasonal creek was perfect, and the hiking on the 35 acre mountain was amazing, with marked trails. We enjoyed walks several times a day. We barely left the property the whole 5 days we were there, except to hike and do a bit of exploring the area. We cooked food we brought, (although there was a lot of food provided) but did drink the beer and wine (thanks, Tom!), listened to the fabulous records (yes, albums!) collection every night and were pampered unlike any trip ever. We and our dog, Ellie, wished we never had to leave. Tom and Susan have created a magical sanctuary complete with their alpacas next door and wild turkeys roaming the property. We never saw deer or moose, but they live there on their large property. We will return again and again. Don't hesitate to stay here if you want a heavenly experience.

Secluded Luxury
This is a great place to stay! We felt very special and pampered during our visit. The hosts have included a lot of unique touches to help guests feel comfortable and relaxed. A lit fire in the stove, fresh flowers, luxury bath products, luxury linens and towels! They provide a pantry with items to cook, spices, appliances, and a fridge stocked with a few of the important basics, like milk, eggs, beer and wine! The outdoor Sauna was wonderful, private and very relaxing, with the creek gurgling nearby. The house is warm and cozy, perfect for a winter get away! Tom and Susan are attentive, friendly and worked hard to make our stay very enjoyable. Thank you!

Our stay here was amazing! The hosts were excellent to work with and were very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows, sheets, towels, robes, etc. were of the highest quality. The private sauna and beautiful hiking trails from the house were the cherry on top. I will definitely be staying at the Rathdrum Mountain Guest House again. Thank you!

Relaxing mountain Luxury
The place completely exceeded my expectations. I came to Rathdrum to visit my daughter and wanted something close to where she lives. I found this property and booked it because it had 2 bedrooms and the outdoor sauna. What I found when I checked in was a gorgeous space with 5 star luxury accommodations at every turn. The kitchen is extremely well appointed with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal. The owner also supplied a plethora of snacks, beer, wine, and beverages. There were also items to make a light breakfast. The pantry is stocked with dry goods, spices, and plenty of snacks. The beds are very comfortable. Again, with top of the linens, and pillows. I slept so well. The outdoor sauna was a real treat. It was cold during my visit and the sauna was so nice to enjoy. The bathroom is stocked with luxury bath products for your enjoyment. I felt like I was staying in a luxury resort. The property is close to town but you feel like you’re on a private lot in the country. I will definitely come back to this property. Thank you to Thomas and Susan who made my stay pleasant and super comfortable.
