Full property description
The space
The Donovan house was built in 1907 by the Donovan family in the early days of Hope. The house is newly renovated with a touch of Scandinavian + Mid Century Modern accents. Available are 2 full baths, 3 bedrooms + a loft, comfortably sleeping 8 adults. Beautiful views from all areas of the house but the best view is from the primary bedroom + loft upstairs. The house has spacious deck for dining al fresco, watching the train pass by + of course views of the lake. Hope is a stunning 20 min drive from Sandpoint. It is the “deep” side of the lake with boat launch access year round. Hope as two marina’s, with access to boat + jet ski rentals. There are a handful of wonderful restaurants within minutes of the house.

Other things to note
Guest will have access to the entire property + house. We do have two kayaks for use if you have means to get them down to the lake.
We do have trains that pass by the house day / night. They are not allowed to use their horns but there are sounds to be expected (however we don’t even notice any longer. :))
We are in the final stages of building a new home next door. There is a possibility of periodic construction sounds + occasionally we will be on property next door when the Donovan house is rented.
We DO NOT allow pets or smoking inside or outside the home.
No shoes can be worn upstairs or on carpeted areas.
No photo shoots or events of any kind allowed on the property without prior approval.
NO PARKING AT THE POST OFFICE!
The driveway is ONE WAY. Please stay to the left and follow the driveway up + cross in front of the house + follow it around to the back of the house, clockwise.
