COME AND EXPERIENCE BEAUTIFUL NORTH IDAHO!!! We are located down a dead-end road, approximately 18 miles from downtown Sandpoint, with all it has to offer, yummy restaurants, Cedar Street Public Market, music concerts, the Bonner County Fair and don't miss City Beach no matter the weather, maybe even take a lake tour. We are 12 miles from The Idaho Club and just 22 miles from Schweitzer and some of the most breathtaking views around. There is always something to do and see on the mountain. Trestle Creek Park on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille, is another of our favorite places and it's only a 16-mile drive through some of the most picturesque areas of the NW. After a fun filled day exploring North Idaho come and relax at The Lost Fainting Goat Ranch, an amusing name for a place we call home. There is a separate private driveway, and you will have the whole camp area to yourselves, yet we aren't far away should a need arise. You may occasionally hear us (4 busy kids, 1 fat cat, 2 friendly dogs, 1 noisy rooster and 11 happy hens yet still no fainting goats) but we want you to feel like you are in your own private sanctuary. We are offering a new furnished bell tent in a secluded area of our private property in the beautiful mountains of Sandpoint Idaho. Our camp area is along a quiet creek that is visited by deer, wild turkey, squirls and even the occasional moose. There are also those less desirable critters that live in nature like insects, and we do try and mitigate those troublemakers with screens, traps, Diatomaceous Earth and other natural means. This area of our property is off grid with a wonderful shower house built from wood milled from our own land, complete with hot water and a compost toilet. We even provide Starlink WiFi and a way to charge cell phones thanks to our solar charged batteries. There is a fire pit, comfy chairs, a beautiful picnic table, again, made from wood from our own land, and a screened in area with cooking supplies. Our family enjoys hosting guests and we enjoy meeting new people. The most common phrase we heard when we first moved here was "Welcome to Idaho!" We hope you love it here as much as we do. When you reserve your time with us, please look for messages regarding directions and check-in instructions, we like to meet everyone to show you around and it gets pretty dark out here in the country and the cell coverage is pretty spotty in our area. We truly want you to have a relaxing experience and good communication helps us serve you better. Thank you!Our new Bell Tent is furnished with a queen size bed and 2 twin sleeping matts that double as lounge chairs. There are side tables with lamps and a small game table with chess, checkers, playing cards and a few other games. Cozy linen and warm fuzzy blankets are provided as well as washcloths and towels for each guest. There is a screened tent with some cooking essentials and a picnic table underneath solar lights for your enjoyment. There is also a fire pit with a couple comfy chairs sitting along the creek. We only have one site available at this time so guests will have the camp area all to themselves including the new shower house and compost toilet. Potable water is provided. Water for the shower and sink is supplied by our well via storage tank on a trailer, so we request that guests are mindful with water usage, but we are happy to refill the tank when needed just let us know when it is getting low.

Healing in The Cedars

My very first Hipcamp booking!!! After a summer in the city, I was badly in need of some time in the forest. I had a morning appointment in Sandpoint and was stressed about the situation. I arrived at the Ranch later than anticipated. Michal met me at the mailbox and guided me down into the campsite to a gentle landing just a few feet from the cheerfully lit tent. There was a fire crackling in the outdoor firepit...a full tea pot ready to make a warm drink in the lovely outdoor kitchen and a waning full moon on the rise. I sat next to the fire in the moonlit forest for a very long time that night, surrounded by buck snort and owl speak...made grilled cheese on the campfire...enjoyed delicious coffee in the morning. My rest was cozy in the beautiful tent set up for "posh glamping"...and the solar powered out door shower in the crisp morning air was deeeevine!!! Michal even let me come back up after my appointment to spend a little Time beneath the beautiful cedars by the tiny brook. It was absolutely wonderful!!! My furbaby, Lucy, and I had such a grand first experience!!! Thank you Michal and Chris for creating this sacred space in the healing forest!!! It was the perfect close to a long, hot summer in the city around soooo many people. I look forward to my next Hipcamp experience...and to my return visit to Lost Fainting Goat Ranch!!! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!!!

Chris and Michal were wonderful hosts. The tent site was very well put together with a beautiful table and fire pit. They made sure everything was stocked and ready to go. The outhouse and shower were great as well. Will definitely come back again Thanks!!!!
