30 min to Schweitzer. Sleeps 12, Hot Tub, Movie Theater Room!

HOUSE DESCRIPTION
Blackwolf Cabin is located on a protected inlet with easy boat access to Lake Pend Oreille. The home boasts a chef’s kitchen with a six burner commercial gas range with granite countertops and a wrap around bar with seating for eight.

This four bedroom home has two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main level which also includes the kitchen, dining area, and family room/great room. The main level bathroom has granite countertops and a generous spa like shower. The top floor has a loft area with a daybed and trundle as well as the oversized master bedroom (with king sized bed and sofa sitting area) and an en suite bathroom. The master bathroom also has granite counter tops with a huge walk-in shower and a jetted soaking tub. The lower level has a fourth bedroom (with a queen sized bed and twin sized bunk beds) another bathroom with a huge walk-in shower, a mud room for ski/kayak storage, a poker table, and a Movie Theater room with a 100" screen! All bathrooms have been tastefully appointed with high end fixtures as well as tile, stone, and granite. The great room floor plan feels open and inviting and boasts high ceilings and large windows that take advantage of the view of the bay. Most of the home has hard wood flooring. There is also a large deck with plenty of seating for your group. For your added safety and security, there are also motion sensor lights and cameras on the front and/or side exterior of the home.

Just ten minutes to downtown Sandpoint, twenty-five minutes to Silverwood, and thirty minutes to Schweitzer (fifteen minutes to the Schweitzer shuttle parking lot) puts all of the area’s attractions within easy reach by car. Biking to Sandpoint’s shops and restaurants is a breeze too on the paved path across the long bridge. Even Spokane, Coeur D’Alene, and the Canadian Border are within an hour and twenty minutes from the property. Blackwolf Cabin is your ideal North Idaho getaway. A stay at this amazing property will recharge your soul.

IN THE SUMMER
Bring your Ski Boat or use our water toys!! 110' feet of waterfront and a brand new 700 sq ft PRIVATE dock. At the water’s edge the dock provides easy boat access to the big lake but without the wind and rough water sometimes associated with Lake Pend Oreille. Bring your paddle boards, kayaks, and other water toys and enjoy the quiet and calm water! There are ample hiking and biking opportunities close by as well. Want some more adventure? Check out the thrilling rides and waterpark attractions at Silverwood; the largest theme and waterpark in the American Northwest.

IN THE WINTER
Enjoy the snow sports at North Idaho’s destination ski resort Schweitzer Mountain! The Schweitzer Mountain Village/Ski Resort is a short 30 minute drive from our spacious home. There are ample areas for snow shoeing and cross-country skiing all around. Bring your snow mobiles and other snow toys and take advantage of the endless opportunities. The Blackwolf Cabin has plenty of parking and our location is a far faster and easier drive to town for the fantastic restaurants and nightlife without braving the steep and winding road up and down Schweitzer Mountain. After a day of play in Idaho’s winter wonderland, indulge yourself in our six person hot tub or take in a moving in the theater room or do both! The county meticulously plows and maintains the roads to the house and we keep the driveway and our parking area plowed as well.



**Note for Summer Stays: Each year, on September 18th OR the 3rd Sunday in September (whichever is later), the Army Corps of Engineers begins dropping the water level of Lake Pend Oreille until ultimately reducing it by a total of 10-12 feet. Around the 4th week in September ALL boat docks and boat lifts on the lake become inaccessible and unusable, as the water completely recedes back from the shoreline leaving just bare ground beneath the docks. The agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers states the lake level must be restored to full pool level each year no later than July 4th, however, the last 10+ years the lake water has been at full pool level around the 2nd or 3rd week in June.

Great Weekend Ski Trip

Had a wonderful ski weekend with friends and the house was a large part of it. Plenty of space and great amenities. Loved grilling for the group, the hot tub was a great bonus after skiing all day, and the theatre room was very cool. Great location as well.

Even better than the photos

We were a group of 8 adult family members in town for a wedding. The property is clean and well-maintained. It is decorated nicely, the bathrooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes, and glasses. We did not have a lot of time to spend at the property, but some of the group enjoyed the hot tub, kayaking, and fishing from the dock (we brought our own poles).

Week of Skiing

We rented this property, for 3 couples skiing at Schweitzer for the week of Feb. 10 - 17. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The added bonus was the movie room, where we had the choice of over 200 movies to watch. The Hot Tub was also used regularly after a day of skiing, which was appreciated. The train noise that other people had talke about in reviews was minimal. The trains run all day and night, however, is just a distant tumble that we could barely hear.

Drinking club with a skiing problem.

Our old guys ski group spinner wheel landed on Schweizer this year. We found this house on VRBO since it had 8 beds. The house has been nicely updated, and is well appointed. Looking for something? Every door, drawer, cabinet, closet and light switch is labeled. We were there in winter and access to the mountain and downtown Sandpoint is excellent. We highly recommend Arlos restaurant. Very authentic Italian (Calabria region) thank you

Well appointed, great space

Three couples in for4 nights to ski at nearby Schweitzer Mountain. House is well appointed, spacious and clean. We all had our own private space and bathroom. Kitchen was full of all we needed to cook in. We enjoyed the hot tub after skiing. Thought we’d enjoy a movie in the theater room but we were too tired after skiing. Good location close to downtown Sandpoint. Would also be great in summer. The only downside is the frequent train across the street. But we all loved the property and all it had to offfer

Fun for the whole family

Really enjoyed the property. From hottub, to theater , cooking, eating , board games, bon fire, s’mores, Thanksgiving dinner cooked and served with plenty of supplies and easy access to shopping in Sandpoint. Rathdrum/Post Falls families drove up and stayed too. ONLY negative was the train, which should be mentioned on the listing description. It doesn’t blow its horn, but it definitely rattles the house VERY OFTEN, and all night. We would pay this price again for a summer rental, when the lake and water toys would be in use.

Beautiful home perfect for family gathering

This is a lovely property in excellent condition, with wonderful features - the lake, canoe/kayaks, deck, barbeque. We watched the MLB playoffs in the big screen movie theater. A perfect property for our use - 12 adults from four siblings' families, attending family wedding. There was plenty of hot water for our purposes. We were aware from reviews that the train line connecting Seattle/the pacific northwest to Chicago and the east is a few hundred yards away. Freight trains pass by hourly, day and night. This did not bother us, but those who are noise sensitive might bring earplugs or white noise for sleeping.

Enjoyable Visit Diminished by Significant On-Site Issues

Consistent with the posted review input from virtually all other Blackwolf Cabin users, our group was highly impressed with the physical attributes of this vacation home. The overall satisfaction with our 5-night stay in the area was positive, because of the quality indoor experience at the cabin and much time spent with fun, interesting activities in the local area away from the property. Our experience was significantly diminished, however, by adverse outdoor conditions on and adjacent to the property that were not disclosed prior to our visit. Those conditions include obnoxious disturbance from construction activity on the adjacent property, limited utility of the dock because of pervasive goose poop, and concerns about water quality in Comeback Bay. Based on the conditions we encountered, we felt this rental did merit the premium rate we were charged. Those issues are documented in detail separately.

Beautiful priperty

This house was so great! Very clean, I loved how everything was organized and labeled. The dock was fantastic and we all loved using the kayaks! We'd never done that before and it was a blast! The large porch was fantastic! The only thing is, the steel door and handles got VERY hot on the 90 degree day. We had to rubberband socks on the handles so we wouldn't burn ourselves. So maybe getting some kind of heat resistant material to cover them with :) and maybe one more patio umbrella would be perfect! The kids LOVED the theater room and were so excited that they had the entire Harry Potter collection :) All in all, a fantastic stay and would definitely come here again!

40th Birthday Getaway

I got together with a few friends to celebrate my 40th birthday. We are local but just were looking for a larger space with a hot tub. What a great home to stay at. It was a beautiful place and just the perfect place to spend times with loved ones. I can’t wait to maybe stay there again in the summer and enjoy the lake. Thanks Kristine and Troy for allowing to stay in your home for a memorable time.
