Great vacation
Very nice house and nicely equipped for the little ones, including toys and a little pool for them to play in. It was clean and all high-quality finishing throughout with nice beds. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even extended it a day. The owners were pleasant and returned our damage deposit very quickly. Definitely recommended and hope to return.

Beautiful home on Koocanusa!
This is a gorgeous home situated in a very quiet part of the lake. It is well equipped and the furnishings are top notch. If your looking for a quiet getaway right on the lake its hard to beat. The views are fantastic and the large deck is great for dining and entertaining. We use VRBO all the time and the only thing this place is missing would be A/C and wifi. The private dock and short drive to the launch make it perfect for a boaters getaway. Looking forward to our next Koocanusa visit.

A week we'll never forget!
What a beautiful luxury home on the lake! My family and I stayed at this lake house for a week. The views of the lake, mountains, and forestry were amazing! Our favourite part was that there was a fireplace on the deck so you could still enjoy a "fire" with the fire ban. Each bedroom had it's own ensuite so it felt like each couple had their own master bedroom. The home and outdoor areas were easy to keep clean. Having the boat dock was great for the beautiful weather, and we were still able to entertain ourselves when it rained with the pool table and satellite. Owners were great to deal with! We will definitely be going back!
