DayStar Lodge has 3,000 square feet of inviting living space if the upstairs and downstairs are both rented. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and warmth in which you and your family can come back to after a day on the lake, or after enjoying the many area attractions such as the Silverwood Amusement Park, Coeur dAlene, Sandpoint, or our local par 72 Golf Course.

For your further information:
The upper lake is approximately 1 ½ miles long and ¾ mile wide, and the lower lake is approximately 2 ½ miles long and ½ mile wide. The lakes are ideal for boating, skiing, tubing, and all water sports. During the winter many people enjoy the frozen lakes for ice fishing.

The lake is a peaceful setting with abundant wildlife such as ducks, mink, chipmunks, blue jays, muskrat, osprey, eagles, and heron. Bring your motor boat or kayak and enjoy the water off our private dock and beach. We provide a rowboat, canoe, and paddle boat for your use at no extra charge.

Meet The Host

Owner
Wendy
In 2009 my husband Jim, and I decided we would begin looking for a lake front cottage for our family to enjoy as well as rent to others for their enjoyment. Soon after finding the perfect spot in North Idaho, on Twin Lakes, we discovered this was a great business to be in. We realized we really get a lot of satisfaction in helping our guests enjoy their limited vacation time.


After 5 successful years of renting out our own cottage and then a golf condo, I was asked to manage someone else's home as a vacation rental. A second one soon followed and thereafter A-List Rental Management was born.


I really enjoy helping others find the right fit in their vacation home and believe we have the best location for any type of holiday you may desire. Each of these homes have great water frontage, private docks, comfortable living spaces, and come with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Call or e-mail for any specifics you may be wondering about and I will be happy to help you.
