Amazing stay!
This place was tucked far enough in the woods where one can appreciate a quiet morning. Place was clean, cozy and comfortable. No internet and very little cell service (w/ Verizon) which makes the stay even better, forcing one to truly disconnect! I enjoyed this place and would most definitely return.

Wonderful Cabin
Our family was very happy with the cabin. We stayed for 2 nights to visit Silverwood, which was a short drive away. The owner was friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic quiet cabin close to Silverwood
Wonderful remote cabin on a quiet property, but also within a quick drive to Silverwood, Farragut State Park, and other outdoor activities. Very polite and nice hosts!
Like a step back in time. The property is more than unique. The onsite owners are respectful of your privacy but are like having a concierge. The setting is relaxing. The beds are comfortable. The sheep are unique as is the resident duck. I'd mention the stairway to upstairs bedroom, but the host transported our luggage, coming and going. Don't consider this property if you like being in the center of a busy community because the peace and tranquility might unsettle you.
Place is clean ,quiet and host is very accomodating.

Great Stay for Families or a Couple
Best value in the area for a couple or family. Clean, clean, clean and well furnished. Close to Silverwood and grocery. Beautiful property. Mark and Vicki are great hosts. The cabin was hand built by Mark and is solar powered which is really neat. He does a great job explaining which outlets are 110 for your charging needs. We just needed a place to sleep after a couple of long days out in the area and this was a great choice!

Great stay for Silverwood vacation
Awesome stay! Wonderful home in a great quiet location. Guest house was close enough yet far enough away from host. All rooms were very comfortable stayed cool despite the heat outside. Owner provided bottled water and everything needed for us to make breakfast and late night dinners after closing down Silverwood. Very close to grocery store and siverwood. Dog and sheep were a hit too.
Wi-Fi/tv connection were hit and miss but had no effect on our trip as we were on the go most of the time . That was fully disclosed before we arrived. Everything the owner disclosed is accurate. Communication with the host was fantastic!
We would 100 percent stay here again and will the next time we go to Silverwood (about a 7 hr drive for us). Highly recommend this house for anyone coming to this area !

Tucked back and away from the noise and city, just what we wanted for our trip! We were on a trip around north Idaho to get away from all the hustle and crazy of the city life. This place was perfect for that!

Quiet Getaway
The house had everything you could want for a nice, quiet stay in the mountains. The owners were very responsive to any request (which was only for butter to cook eggs!), and even provided us with snacks and wine for our first day! It was a big house with lots of room. Although close to owner's house, felt very private. Enjoyed seeing the sheep and Max every day. We would highly recommend staying with Mark and Victoria.

Great stay in Northern Idaho
Home was perfect for a family stay. Tons of room. Kids appreciated their own rooms and full kitchen & living room were great for eating and watching movies in the evening.
Very quiet and out of the busy areas yet only 10 minutes to Silverwood made it a great location!

Off the grid is amazing. Hosts are wonderful and inviting. We will be returning and perhaps even more. We were surprised how they built off the grid and remain off the grid. We have wanted to move to Idaho for a while and this is making even more of a reason with people like this in Idaho.

Fantastic quiet house off the beaten path
This was the perfect house for our family for our trip to Silverwood. It is about 15 minutes north of Silverwood, and pretty easy to find once you figure out where the turn is.
The house itself is clean, had 3 bedrooms (2 upstairs, one downstairs) along with a couple of sofa sleepers which we didn't need. All the beds were very comfortable. It also included a gas grill and a DVD player and TV, although at the time of our stay did not have a microwave, as its an off-grid house. Not a big deal for me, I have lived without a microwave before. :) The owner told us we were about a week early for his power upgrade, so it will probably have one by the time this review appears.
The host was very pleasant, responsive, and easy to work with. I would highly encourage any families looking for a nice, quiet house to take a serious look at this property!

Wonderful All Around
Everything was just perfect about our stay! Communication with the hosts was clear and helpful. Mark, Max (the dog), and the sheep heard all welcomed us as we pulled in and our teens absolutely loved it! Mark even let them feed the sheep and ducks, which they’re still talking about more than the trip to silverwood. Going to Silverwood was our main reason for the stay, which was a quick and easy 20 min drive.
The guest house was clean and had everything we could possibly need or want, including fun family games for us and our 4 teens. There was also plenty of beds which was awesome since our kids all appreciate having their own space.
Overall, we loved our stay and this will definitely be our go-to lodging for any future Silverwood trips.
