As the largest lake in Idaho (and the fifth-deepest in the nation), it’s hard to be anything but completely enchanted by the beautiful Lake Pend Oreille. Located in North Idaho, its undeniable scenery and incredible attractions have made it a popular getaway spot for Idahoans. In fact, there’s a spot called MacDonald’s Resort on the lake with the most amazing lakeside cabins to escape to. Check this place out and keep it in mind the next time you’re on the hunt for a getaway-by-the-lake!
Located right on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, the family-owned and operated MacDonald's Resort has welcomed visitors to Idaho's largest lake since 1951.
The resort is perfectly located about halfway between Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint, right at the southern end of the lake. This means some of North Idaho's greatest attractions, including Silverwood Theme Park, are just a short drive away.
However, you may not even be able to pull yourself away from these dreamy lakefront cabins. Located just feet away from where the lake begins, cabin guests have a front-row view of Lake Pend Oreille in all of her glory.
The resort has ten different cabins available to rent. Cabins can accommodate up to eight people and contain all of the amenities you could ask for. With a full kitchen, living room, and cozy assortment of bedrooms, you'll feel right at home in these waterfront abodes.
Six "upper" cabins can be found on a hill overlooking Hudson Bay, and four "lower" cabins are located right beside the lake. The lower cabins are the way to go if you'd like instant access to the lake since they come with their own patio on the lake or private beach area.
With all cabins, you'll be just steps away from an unforgettable adventure on the lake. The resort also offers boat rentals including paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and fishing boats, so you explore the lake's tranquil waters as much as you'd like.
Everybody knows life is better at the lake, so plan a visit to family-owned MacDonald's Resort in Bayview. These waterfront cabins are perfectly charming AND convenient. Learn more at their website.
