Supreme

This place has everything we dreamed of. a private lake access, amazing view, all the utilities we needed, good fishing, swimming, kayaking, campfires, and more. Michele is a super nice host and she took very good care of us. Once you get there you will not want to leave. We would want to come back for sure.

A weekend getaway cut short

On a positive note the property is very quiet and has a nice shared lake with an easy trail to get down to it. If you love to fish or canoe, this place is great. We did enjoy our one night from that perspective. They also allow dogs which was also wonderful. The sheets on the master bed were very comfortable and plenty of towels. There is a large TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime and free TV. The owner's are also very nice and were in constant communication which was great. However, I don't believe the description of the property on the VRBO site was completely accurate, which would have changed our mind in deciding to stay. The property is located above a garage that is right next to the owner's house. The kitchen window where the sink is to clean the dishes (no dishwasher) looks right at their cars and house, and thus not very private. The window looking out was quite dirty on the outside. Being on top of the garage also meant there was a steep flight of about 20 stairs! We weren't prepared for this and as our luggage was quite heavy. Being older it was tough getting the bags up the steps. Our 14 year old dog also struggled to get up the stairs. There were no coffee pods left which the owner told me as we were driving away from Safeway in town, but indicated there was loose coffee. That would have been OK, except it was hazelnut flavored, as was the coffee mate and thus was not a huge fan. There was no hand soap in the bathroom-the container was empty and the bar of soap on the counter was a used bar of soap. There was also a burned out light bulb in the bathroom. There are 3 bedrooms but only one bathroom located out in the hallway so no bath in any of the bedrooms. While there were multiple spices, it was a bit concerning as some looked very old. The refrigerator had all sorts of condiments and other things in the door shelves, again many looked old and I was afraid to use. The same was true for the freezer which had old ice cream left over and other frozen deserts which again took up space and looked like it may have been left from prior guests. The stove is very old and while "cute", from a practical standpoint, if you are looking to cook a large meal, it is difficult as the only oven space is quite small. The cooking pan was dirty had to be cleaned to use it. Having stayed at several VRBOs, this one did not meet our expectations and for the price charged, not worth it. We decided to stay only 1 night instead of 3.

Fun lakeside getaway

Our family spent a cozy night at this lakeside property in late March 2022, enjoying the warmth of the wood fireplace, some fun games of air hockey, and a morning walk down to the still-frozen lake.

We were looking for something not too far from home that would be a place to just relax and this is just that! A super clean place to stay with just a short walk to the water! The owner was super nice and was super easy to contact, and we found the relaxation we were needing!

Peaceful, Beautiful, Fun Family Vacation

We had such a wonderful time, staying in this gorgeous Carriage House on a pristine private lake. Michel was a dream! What a generous, kind, thoughtful property owner/manager. The space is very special and the lake is truly divine! We swam and kayaked and lounged, went hiking and mountain biking, played board games, ate great food, and just enjoyed family time. Thank you very much!!

Pleasant and relaxing

Who knew staying above a barn could be so luxurious! House was located on a dead end street, so was very quiet. Has all the amenities and was comfortable. Property owners are very nice, accommodating and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Great little lake behind the house was peaceful. Had a great time fishing in their paddle boat and watching deer, beaver and eagles flying down to grab a fish dinner.

Relaxing AND Fun Getaway

This is as beautiful property with an incredible lake! We all enjoyed the warm welcome, the fully stocked kitchen, all the little details that Michel went out of her way to provide for all of us. The lake is incredible; we swam, kayaked and fished to our heart's content! It was a perfect birthday getaway for our family (mom, dad, two little boys , grandma and grandpa and our dog)

Excellent Quiet get away.

I love that the whole lake is private. Perfect for kayaking and fishing or just floating around the water. The lake is clear and FULL of fish! Host is hands down the most accommodating I have ever encountered. Everything you need is there to have a relaxing and quiet retreat from the chaos in the world. Would definitely go there again.

Lovely property

The pictures do not do this place justice! Lovely property from the inside of the house to the outside grounds. Comfortable furniture to include comfortable beds, nicely decorated, fully stocked kitchen with everything you could need. Owners left us coffee and fresh eggs. Owners accommodated an early check in; Thank you. And check in and out was made easy. Lovely deck area to enjoy and we did! The walk down to the lake was sweet and the lake was magnificent! Just Beautiful. Free range chickens were fun to watch. You can tell the owner takes pride in the property and works to ensure you have a great stay.

We also enjoyed the ambiance of the onsite chickens. Micheal was totally hospitable and accommodating, and even provided fresh eggs. Yum!

A Charming, Delightful Retreat

Clean and comfortable with all the details addressed. Entertainment inside (air hockey, wi-fi, movies, games) and out (kayaking, paddle boating, fishing, free-roaming chickens, wildlife). Beautiful surroundings. We came to boat on Lake Pend Oreille, but fell in love with our Muskrat Lake Retreat and surrounding area as well! So many activities to wear you out by day and delightful home-base comforts to restore you at night. A gem of a find.
