Great little place
We had a great stay... very comfortable retreat for us. Only wish the rain would have stayed away so we could have enjoyed the deck more.

Winter Getaway
Great little cabin that met all of our needs. Loved staying here for the week. Having Schweitzer to ski 25 miutes away, the town to hang out in, and being able to drive to Coeur d'Alene for one day.

All the amenities and much more!
We stayed here with our two dogs and it was the perfect spot! Conveniently located- just a short drive away from beaches, trails, good food and all the adventure Sandpoint has to offer. The place was spotless too! We loved the map of the lake that the owner put on the wall which describes all the locations to visit and where dogs are welcome. If we make it back this way, we will certainly stay here again. Thank you to the owners for working hard to make this such a wonderful place to stay with our “kids” (pups).

Nice, clean property!
Beautiful setting. Plenty of amenities provide by hosts. Fabulous outside decks and fire pit. Not much of a view of lake but at least a peekaboo. Would definitely stay here again!

Very Peaceful and Pleasant Stay
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Murphy Retreat. The house was clean and we appreciated the special touches left by the owners such as the welcome cookies and farm fresh eggs. The owners were very thoughtful in regards to the needs of their guests, assuring that the house was filled with anything we may have needed during the duration of our stay. Beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood and centralized location. We would definitely stay here again.
