Lovely spot
Beautiful, private spot next to the river and the Trail of the Coeur D’Alenes. We enjoyed biking, paddle boarding, and some quiet time in the site. Mike communicated well and we had a great trip. Thanks!

Great site and great hosts!!!
Great site and great hosts! The location could not have been better for us, biking on the Trail of the CDA, kayaking on the CDA river and just enjoying all the wildlife and serenity of the river flowing by. We couldn't have picked a better spot and our hosts were excellent.

North Idaho get away
Tough "Host"
We arrived with late add on's to our group. didn't think this would be a big issue as this site allows a second rig on it! We were traveling at the time and not in Wi Fi range, So we tried to call 3 times to adjust the reservation but could not get through as cell coverage in Mike's area, as it turns out is minimal! On arrival we promptly informed Mike of the situation. He mentioned to us we had to go onto the hip camp site to add our friends, which we did, we had two drive 45 min to get coverage. We could only find out how to add guests. We noticed as passing his house on our phones that he had a guest wifi, which he very aggressively told us that wasn't ours to use. He was very aggressive and unwilling to help with how to go about adding a second trailer . We acknowledged our mistake but had zero help from him. After a second time out to get Wi Fi, we were finally able to get this sorted. This was a very Frustrating and Humiliating Experience for all of us, we were actually in a bit of "Shock" This is both a "Host" and a Hip Camp issue as it was not easy to figure out how to actually get this sorted. Nor did Mike seem to know how to "Pleasantly" give us the information.
