About this property

Savage Lake Lodge. Waterfront/Waterfalls 3BD/ 2BA Sleeps 10+

The Lodge sits on the peaceful and scenic Savage Lake, gently sloping down to the waters edge and nestled in the Cabinet Mountains, with Savage Falls roaring across the lake. Enjoy your Fishing, Tubing and Skiing on the lake! The lake has motor limitations between the hours of 7pm-10am, insuring a peaceful evening dockside, without the disruptions of passing motorboats and jet skis. There is internet service at the Troy Library (lclibraries). Troy has 2 sit down restaurants, The Silver Spur and a new one on the other side of town. RPlace serves up a good burger and fast food items. There is a grocery store, Red Box and True Value.

The 3bd/2ba Lodge sits on a large lot with 100 feet of waterfront. The next door neighbors on both sides are seldom there, but it is fun to watch one fly his plane on and off the lake. Savage Lake lots were sold in the 1940's by the Savage Family. On 1 side are the original owners of Savage Lake, it was ranched way back in the day. If you get a chance, say hello to the Savage family. The Lodge has large lake facing windows and front deck. The Deck can accompany up to ten+ guests, with BBQ, tables and chairs furnished. The Fire ring is just steps from the lodge with a large dock, with plenty of wood and Smores sticks provided. Unlike some of the nearby waterways there are very few Mosquitoes (Yea) here at Savage Lake. The large dock can accommodate two boats or about four jet skis. I do leave out a few life vests and some water toys, they are in the old boat shed. There are 5 kayaks (2 adult and 3 small adult/ child) on the property for Savage Lake use. Great Large Mouth Bass and Perch fishing at this lake, the kids will have good luck just off the end of the dock for Perch and the Bass. A second 3bd/1ba cabin,( This is listed on VRBO as site number 1503654) is also for rent. This Comfortable 3 bedroom, 1 bath house, walk to the lake with access 1 house away at the boat access. If needed for beds on the property it is available for an additional fee. There is spotty cell phone service, some spots on property come in better than others! Most normal weeks are rented out for the Lodge and is around 1500.00 per week. We consider discounts for longer than 7 days, contact Tom for info on this. Due to higher requests (Including my family) Holiday weeks ( 4th of July, Memorial Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Labor Day are listed for more.)
Moose can often be seen eating in the lilies across the lake. Otter, Ducks, Loons, Osprey, Bald Eagles and White Swans are all common. Watch out for Chipmunks playing in the trees and on the deck, also lots of very majestic deer in the yard. The Lodge is situated in between the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness on the Montana side, and Scapegoat Wilderness on the Idaho side. All sorts of recreational opportunities abound, Lots of Hiking in both wildernesses, with plenty of easy rewarding hikes, with some natural waterfalls. Kootenai Falls, is on the way to Libby with the Kootenai Swinging Bridge and that easy hike is only 10 minutes away. Yaak River (the scene of the popular TV show The Mountain Men) is about a 30 minute drive on the other side of Troy, the Yaak River is a good place for Rainbow Trout fishing. The 1000 year old Ross Creek Old Growth Cedars are a short drive (20min.) on the far side of Bull Lake on the way to Thompson Falls. Wild Mountain Goats, Moose, Elk, Bear, Bald Eagles and White Swans, are all common occurrences on local hikes and drives. Be safe and bring an air horn and bear spray along on your hikes. Boating is fun on Savage Lake, Bull Lake, and Pend Oreille Lake. Several Mountain lakes and the Kootenai River Offer Canoeing, Kayaking and Rafting opportunities. Fly and Spin Fishing on Savage Lake, Bass and Perch are found, other fishing opportunities are in the vicinity. Golfing is in Libby (20mins away.), and around Sandpoint, ID (1hour away). Our family has enjoyed water skiing and tube riding on the lake with quiet times in the evening and morning for fishing and watching the wildlife (Quiet times between 7 PM and 10 AM, no motorboats allowed then). Mornings on the lake are enjoyed on the front deck, with the sun coming up and watching for lots of wildlife. The afternoons are found in shade from the trees, and they help cool those hot days down. Smores are a great way to end the day down by the water's edge around the campfire. I hope you enjoy this as much as our family has! Tom.

Family fun!!

The property was as described, a nice cabin feel and we immediately felt at home, we added another day. We had so much fun with the kayaks and boats. We had boat vs kayak races. There is enough space in the cabin for everyone to gather or go into a room and nap. We loved this place, thank you Tom for an amazing vacation, if you find any paper airplanes around, sorry, we had a paper airplane flying contest of the deck!!

Savage Lake

Fun girls weekend with wonderful waterfront property. Big wide open lawn down to the lake which we very much enjoyed! Kitchen was well stocked for our "Crocktober" soup and stew cook-off. The loft with the 6 queen beds was super comfortable, appreciated the windows and skylights that opened. The other unexpected bonus was the dry firewood available which we enjoyed in the evenings in the living room fireplace.

Great place if you love beautiful scenery, water and fishing

Amazing views of mountains and water. Loved having a fishing boat and kayaks to enjoy this peaceful lake. Caught many fish right off the dock. Absolutely wonderful hiking to a waterfall that you can see and hear from the cabin. Well groomed yard and clean cabin that was well stocked with items that most usually forget. The beauty of this area viewed right off the deck is nothing short of picturesque. Loved our stay and looking forward to a return visit. Thank you Tom!

Hidden Gem on Beautiful Exclusive Lake

This is a darling little A-Frame on Savage Lake. The property is beautiful and the lake is quiet and peaceful. Thomas was a great host. I will point out to pay close attention to the directions in the listing. Our GPS did not take us to the house using the address. Other than that the house has everything you can think of and the location can not be beat.

Can you hear the waterfalls?

Rented this gem out for my 60th birthday. Cabin was clean and well organized, lots of water toys to cruise in, big yard to play lawn games! Best part was sitting on the dock chatting and listening to the waterfalls crashing down across the lake. So relaxing! You are near the road but we were not bothered by any road noise, no WiFi or reliable cell service but that’s what we look for in a get away, a true Get Away... Just times around the fire, cooking great meals and outdoor fun.. You cannot go wrong with this property! We will return to see you Tom! Thanks again!!

needs a good cleaning.

Everything was great but it was in need of a good cleaning. Refrigerator and counters were sticky. Everything had dust on it. Was animal hair on rugs. My daughter and granddaughter spent a couple hours cleaning the first day.

Just enough

The place was close to the wedding venue but it would have been perfect if the bathrooms were clean. I had to touch up clean them before family arrived since I was the one who found the rental and felt responsible. I get not having internet but there was also little to no service so getting intouch with family or owner was not happening. The beds had clean sheets (super thankful) and were what we expected for a cabin. The teens enjoyed getting to bunk together in the loft while the parents were happy to get their own rooms. The only disappointment was the bathrooms. There is no way they had been cleaned before we arrived. Lots of hair and pink mildew growing in tub also lots of dog hair on toilet and sinks still had toothpaste spit dribble. Its a cabin and we expected it as such but it could have used a clean before renting.

Perfect location for a peaceful retreat. The water areas is perfect, fire pit with lots of wood precut to use. Tons of water toys and boats/canoes to use. House is stocked with games/movies and kitchen type items. The owner is easy to connect with and replies within minutes . Really a great place over all.

If you want a place that can make you feel like you are "roughing it" but still has more than RV camping, then this is the perfect place to stay. There is no internet, and the lake is quiet and peaceful that gives the sense of seclusion, but you are only 10-30ish minutes away from a number of smaller towns. The homeowners have well stocked everything fun from cards to board games to movies to floatation devises to campfire makings. There is something to do for all ages.

Amazing location that was also amazingly filthy

The location on Savage lake is stunningly beautiful. We loved paddling around the lake with the provided kayaks. We loved the balcony, the dock and hanging out on the lake shore with the provided chairs. What was surprising and disappointing was the level of filth inside the cabin. Mud and dirt on the stained bath mat. Long black hairs in the bathtub and then when I went to wipe them out of the tub the paper towel was brown with scum. Dust thick enough to write your name in throughout the property, food debris on the floors. I could go on... We're not picky people but it was pretty bad. When I messaged the owner about it he said, "yeah, people have told me I should hire cleaners, but I don't want to have to increase the price." Please, increase the price!!! This is such a lovely spot. We'd love to return but can't deal with the filth.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Campbell

Host profile image
We are a Montana Family, we have been fortunate enough to own this wonderful property for about 15 years. We are looking forward to sharing the enjoyment this property has brought us with other travelers and adventure seekers.

Why they chose this property

Troy, Montana, getting away from it all, slowing down life, this is the Montana of yesteryear, all the recreation and none of the crowds. Great place to relax and enjoy all that Montana has to offer, while making memories with your family on this peaceful little lake. My uncle worked for the Forest Service in this area in the 1960's, Dal and his co-workers helped save the Ross Cedars from being logged back then. One of my first memories was spending time up here in the 60's as a child visiting them. Tom.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet offered by a small lake, most days during the week you can have the whole lake to yourself!
