The Cabin or berm house (partially underground - acts as A/C) is on our 60-acre magical park like setting property on Chain Lake, an 80-acre lake. You can paddle to the water fall on the other side of the lake or fish for rainbow trout, largemouth bass and perch, hike, walk, run, read or nap under a tree, listen to music, meditate, birdwatch…and if you like to road bike up hilly roads - I am happy to share my favorite routes. We also like to go to Newport or Deer Park to golf.

We are 30 minutes to Priest River (for dinner) 20 minutes to Newport (to shop for groceries, farmers market and one of my favorite clothes store-Shanty) and about 50 minutes to the South Hill in Spokane.

The cabin is a berm house that can comfortably host 4 adults. It stays cool during the summer and cozy warm in the winter. We enjoyed many weekends, summer vacations and holidays in the berm house when our kids were young. Eventually we built a place next door so now we can have company and can share our special place with others.

Our property is in Enchantment Valley where there are 6 other families who own separate properties.

The whole group will be comfortable in this spacious and unique space. 4 guests (5 if you use the living room), 2 bedrooms 2 beds (King and Queen), living room, den/office/sunroom, kitchen, laundry and full bath. Access to lake shore to launch your boat (motorless), or swim (water is deep) as well as hiking trails along the lake on the old railroad bed.

The Great Northern railroad line ran through our valley from 1891 for 100 years. In 1906 the train derailed at the exit of the tunnel into the lake and 12 people died. The train was pulled out of the lake and a new train tunnel was built. We take long hikes along the lake where the railroad line used to travel.
