    The family enjoyed finding their special places to sleep, and immediately felt we had loved and spoiled them. The separation of the family/activity room from the open living room made is so easy to keep the noise level down and enjoyable. The spacious room around the ping pong table allowed for games where the entire family of 3 generations could play a unique game of rotating pingpong. This is already everyone's favorite memory! Grandpa could no longer move as fast and quickly became the referee! Kitchen was very adequate and I appreciated the empty spaces to place things we had brought. The extra room in the laundry room was the pantry for us and so welcomed. The place was exactly as described. The host was friendly. THANK YOU!

    The drawbacks: right off busy highway next to train tracks with frequent trains. Everything else: awesome! Trains didn’t bother us- there are earplugs provided and use of fans or white noise also blocked out the noise while sleeping for those who wanted. Layout of kitchen, common areas and bedrooms would be hard to beat. Worked great for multiple families. Amazing view!

    Great home and amazing view. Definitely need to like trains but we knew that going in. Only thing I would recommend is the addition of window treatments on the main level where the kitchen is. Definitely got hot with afternoon Sun coming into that area. Great host too. Highly recommend.

    The check in was hassle free. Communication with the host was great if we had any questions. It’s a big and beautiful house that had everything we needed. We made great memories here. I would rate 5/5 for everything but I thought 4 star for location is fair as the train does pass by a bit more frequently ( we were not much bothered by it though ) and the left turn to the property while going from north was a bit tricky. We would go back and rent the same house if we come next season. Thank you for letting us stay and create some great memories with friends and families.

    This property is gorgeous. Couldn’t ask for a better house for a large group. Only thing : we were not made aware there is a train immediately behind the house that runs all day and night.

    Wedding at White Barn Ranch in Sagle, Bride’s family met up at this location for the extended weekend. The view is breathtaking! Watching the activity on the lake was peaceful in between hectic wedding moments. This is a beautiful property with plenty of space and activity. The home easily accommodated all of us. There is a lot of train movement. We didn’t find it disruptive. However, we were surprised by the frequency of the trains. Some were not bothere by the sound - and slept through it without ear plugs. Others used the ear plugs and found them to mitigate the noise. It was a perfect distance to the venue, easy access to Sagle and Sandpoint. The driveway is tricky to see, particularly coming from the north. Follow the written directions carefully and you will find it. GPS wasn’t always reliable. And the driveway is not marked, particularly at night. We would definitely return to this site!

    The location of this house was a perfect spot for our ski team to stay to get to Schweitzer mountain for a race! The Views of the sunsets and sunrises were amazing with a beautiful and spacious house to watch them from! The Owners were inclusive and attentive to our needs and made us feel welcome at all times! We will definitely remember this spot for future trips!

    The house is beautiful with a breathtaking view. The recent remodel makes it a modern house. We appreciated lots of kitchen storage and all appliances that we needed. The only issue we had was, in my opinion, the train was severely downplayed. It feels like the train passes at least every hour, day and night. They did provide ear plugs, but they don't help kids sleep and it does shake the house.
