Please Note: As with most Kootenai Valley river properties, the train tracks border one side of the property and can be noticeable. The occasional train is about the only thing that could interrupt the solitude and peace this location has to offer. The trains do not honk their horn. We've lived here for decades and find them well worth the views and river frontage our property offers.
The river and legendary fishery it offers is controlled by Libby dam upstream. That means levels can fluctuate with weather and calendar just like any other river.
Kootenai River Retreat is more than just a place to stay and play…...it's a great place to combine work and adventure. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat this home offers a unique experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired.

This is our second stay here, and the property has amazing, wonderful hosts. There is very good communication and many thoughtful amenities. The home is very clean, with plenty of space for 4-6 people. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area. It really feels like a home away from home.
This host was fantastic! Communication was quick. The place was very clean and comfy.It accommodated us seven and one infant.Coffee bar was a nice touch , and the complementary bottle of wine was thoughtful.We really enjoyed the large kitchen and it accommodated everything we needed to cook a dinner for all of us.We would recommend and would stay again:)
5 stars plus! We spent six nights here and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The owners have created a true slice of heaven in the valley. The home and the surrounding grounds are majestic, peaceful, and deeply restful. We loved that the kitchen was fully equipped and the amenities were way beyond what we expected. A quick note for future guests: you can hear the trains, but the four of us actually liked it and slept great—the sound machines in each room are a fantastic touch and helped immensely. The communication was prompt and the hosts were so accommodating. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Great alternative to a hotel. Had plenty of room for five adults and a teenager. Very clean, accurate description of the property, and host is very responsive! Would definitely stay there again! There is a lot of train traffic nearby, but not that bad. After a bit you get used to it
Since these reviews aren’t public anyway, I’ll be honest. The trains running so close behind the house were an issue as was the disappointment I. Not being on the river as anticipated. The walk to the river and the spot to relax are nice but it was a bummer when we thought we were literally riverfront. The house was great. It was really well furnished and well done and they thought of everything to make a guest comfortable. Mike was a pleasure to talk to and communicate with.
