Calm Waters Lakeside Cabin - Sagle, ID

We had a great relaxing time at the home . Wonderful views and easy to get to.

We really enjoyed out stay here. The location is fantastic, however, a heads up from Vacasa about the construction on the bridge would have been helpful. The home and dock could use some maintenance attention.

Ok…this is hard to write as my family has rented various places over the years and we have always left good reviews. I will start with the pros…great water, close to town, interior was spacious. Negatives…there are many sadly. First the cabin: it is old and charming which we liked however it was not clean. Most dishes we pulled out of cabinets were dirty with food stains and glasses had prints on them. We had to wash each item prior to use. Windows were foggy/dirty and many of the blinds were broken. 2 of the 3 fans provided were broken too. There is no a/c so we were relying on the blinds and fans to help cool the place down. All of the deck furniture was broken except for the outdoor dining table and chairs. Both Adirondack chairs had broken boards so you couldn’t use them and the cushion on the chaise was so worn, you sat directly on the wrought iron frame. The bbq had so much grease built up, after it flared up on our first use we quit using it. The futons for sleeping were so worn our kids couldn’t sleep on them. We had to go buy sleeping pads. The beds were decent in the bedrooms thankfully. The supplies: this cabin sleeps up to 8. We had 7 for 9 days and Vacasa only supplied 2.5 rolls of toilet paper for 7 people for 9 days. I called asking and they said they will not supply more. Two extra rolls was their policy. I asked how that works with 7 people for 9 days!!! Same with paper towels and there were no kitchen wash cloths to clean with. There is a dishwasher as advertised but again, Vacasa supplied 5 dishwasher pods and we were there for 9 days. I know we can certainly wash dishes but it was advertised for use but we had to buy our own soap. The dock: it is rotted. It had so many nails popping up, it was unsafe to use. We called Vacasa 3 times prior to check in to ask about the dock tie ups plus height for our boat and they NEVER got back to us. When we arrived with our boat, the dock was unusable. Too high (we asked those specifics) plus there were nails poking out the sides that would have damaged our boat. Thankfully the neighbor saw all of this and graciously let us tie up at their dock. The dock nails won’t even stay in due to the rotted wood. So again, the place advertised a dock for a boat but unusable. We paid $6000 for this place and feel ripped off. It’s sad as the location is nice and the place is charming but so many features we paid for were not as advertised and unusable. I would not stay here again. The owner needs to do some serious repairs so the place is as advertised and justifies the cost. And Vacasa was not easy to work with. Their lack of help and customer service will most likely have us not use them again. Some things we listed we can roll with and handle but since the cost was as high as it was, you would think the place was as the pictures portrayed.

This lovely lakeside cabin is just what we were looking for in a private lake retreat. The home is clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The yard is well kept and shady for most of the day while the beach is nice and sunny and perfect for a dip in the water.

The living room, deck and back yard all look out over the lake and the mountains in the background. We saw a bald eagle land in a tree nearby and we really enjoyed the landscaped yard filled with flowering plants and trees.

The view from this home is as pictured - really beautiful and tranquil. The location is convenient to Sandpoint and many other locations. The home feels like a much-loved family’s older lake retreat. Kitchen had some upgrades and having a meal on the lake-facing porch is a relaxing experience.

Had a great stay. All the towels and toiletries were fine. Do not plan on making a gourmet meal. The kitchen stuff is not super great. Absolutely great location, and that’s what it’s all about.

Amazing location on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.....easy access to numerous sights and outdoor adventure.....well stocked kitchen.....cozy cabin..

This place is really nice, and we all had a great time (even the 4-legged guy)! It's an older home, that appears to have been remodeled several times. The floors are a bit creaky in spots, but it's very comfortable and has character. And the VIEW!! Wow! The back yard is very pretty and it has its own dock. In warm weather this would be a great place for kids. It was a little chilly for us to swim, but we were fortunate to arrive in apple season. The gigantic apple tree out back was full of ripe apples! We picked a few and made fresh apple pie (not kidding- it was delicious)! Thank you so much to the owners for opening this place up and sharing. I really hope we will be back soon!

Enjoyed being right on the lake. Calm water and beautiful views. House was very clean upon arrival and well appointed. Not necessarily a place for individuals with mobility issues as entry to the home is on a hill with a grass and stone path. Circular driveway is a combination of dirt and sand with steep entry on either side. These things did not deter us from enjoying our stay!

The vibe of this p[lace is heavenly. Very much a fancy but rustic lake house with huge decks, rooms, lawn, and right on the lake. Couldn't be better!
