About this property

IdaBlu, a floating house with an unobstructed view of the lake and mountains.

Welcome to IdaBlu, a floating home located in the quaint town of Bayview, Idaho. This floating paradise sits on the front dock overlooking breathtaking views of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding mountains. Experience all North Idaho has to offer with Farragut State Park within 1 mile that offers hiking trails, disc golf, lakefront beach area, biking, children activities and more! Silverwood Theme Park is 12 miles away with over 70 rides to choose from. Lake attractions include boat rental, fishing charters, swimming in clear mountain water, and the convenience of the boat launch within site, if you choose to bring your own boat. Relax on the front floating dock with everything you need to feel at home with lounge chairs, dining table, and a propane grill to cook your lunch or dinner with a view. The main floor offers a full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and an open concept living and dining area with unmatched views of the water. Upstairs you will find spacious master suite with views of the water and mountains right from the king sized bed along with a half bath and balcony overlooking it all. There are also two additional bedrooms upstairs for whoever is coming along. This floating home is located at the end of the dock offering more privacy compared to the others in the marina. Walk to one of the local restaurants throughout the town. This home is a perfect place relax, unwind and explore. The owners visited here and fell in love to the point where they purchased the place so they could share the same feeling they had with future guests. Book today, once you arrive you will not want to leave!

Boat tie-ups are available off of the deck (must rent separately from Scenic Bay Marina), but please keep in mind that the owner's boat will be on-site in their private slip, so we ask you not to go on their boat.

Weekend Afloat

We were in town for a wedding and had an awesome weekend staying at IdaBlu. We had a great time kayaking, hiking and just enjoying the views from the dock. We loved that we could walk to everything we needed right in Bayview. We had great breakfast and coffee at Ralph's, an amazing dinner at Taverna and more than one stop by the Captain's Wheel including Friday night Karaoke. If we are in the area again we will definitely stay here!

Relaxation

Clean, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, relaxing deck. Nate was very welcoming and quickly responsive when we had difficulty with the wi-fi, he rebooted it from afar, and we were set. We had a fabulous time using the kayaks and playing in the lake. This was also an easy drive to Silverwood and a grocery store.

Sisters Retreat

My stay at Idablu was amazing! The property made it a true get away! We had a sister’s retreat and staying in the float house expanded our experience and added to our week full of memories! The balcony master bed was a relaxing and overlooks the lake… to step out of bed over looking the unique Ponderay blue waters and fresh breeze, was relaxing. We all slept beautifully! We found ourselves enjoying coffee on the dock in the sunshine, as families of ducks and geese swam by to greet us sun up to sun down. We enjoyed a kayak trip to Macdonald’s marina and around the point. This beautiful spot on the corner of docks looking out onto this beautiful lake from sun up to sun down, added so much more to our conversations, laughter, pictures and memories. What a special place!
