Poindexter’s Palace

A Delightful Mongolian Yurt and Custom Tiny House

Poindexter’s Palace is very unique. You will have an eclectic experience with a combination of a traditional Mongolian Yurt (Ger), combined with a Tiny House that gives the guests two separate areas to enjoy.

Clark Fork is a beautiful North Idaho small town with small town charm. There are a lot of outdoor activities to enjoy including Clark Fork River, Lake Pend Oreille, Schweitzer Ski Resort, and miles of back roads and trails to enjoy.

THE SPACE:
Have you ever thought of renting a Yurt? Have you ever thought of renting a Tiny House? Well now you can do both. We bought this property in 2018 and have slowly been preparing it for your enjoyment. It is named after are current German Shepard Dog, Poindexter, aka: Dex. The poster in the yurt looks just like him.

The yurt is a traditional Mongolian yurt, also called a Ger. It is 350 square feet. When you step in you almost forget it is a tent. Almost all the furniture I hand built. There is a king size bed, along with a couch, dining table and a bench. A free standing armoire is available for any clothes you might need to hang. Please do not hang anything on the yurt rafters.

The yurt also has a small refrigerator and keurig coffee maker for your convenience.

I hand built the tiny house myself. The small living space has a full size couch and with the large windows it feels much bigger than it is. There is two wall mounted, pull up and fold down, tables that are perfect for a small work space. A full kitchen with a small 4 burner stove makes those eat in meals a breeze. A large sink makes clean up easy. It is fully equipped for all your cooking needs. Comes with a toaster and an air fryer, as well.

The tiny house has a full bath with a nice size stand up shower. Please be aware that there is only a 6 gallon hot water heater that is supported by an on demand hot water heater. Although I have never ran out of hot water, (it has got cooler, but never cold.) Please be judicious with hot water usage.

The loft is accessed via an extendable ladder that is stored on the wall and once opened is secured to the loft entrance with permanent hooks.

GUEST ACCESS
The yurt and tiny house are all yours while you enjoy your stay. They are separated by a few steps across the deck. There is plenty of parking for your use.

Consider bringing shoes or sandals that you can easily slip on and off as you go from the yurt and tiny house.

OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:
A yurt is a very nice tent. With that said, please be aware you are going to hear outside noise, however it is a very quiet neighborhood. You will hear passing trains in the distance. You can also hear Lightning Creek, especially at night.

Please also be aware that the noise you create is easily heard outside of the Yurt.
The entrance to the yurt is a very short door. WATCH YOUR HEAD. We have hit our head on it many times and know how that feels. Be careful please.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Clark Fork River. The holiday home offers a kitchen and a patio.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, patio and living room
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Clark Fork River and 9 minutes from Lake Pend Oreille
Poindexter’s Palace offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Great little get away

Amazing things:- Everything was clean, neat and welcoming. - Decorated eclectic with great colors and art pieces. - Both the yurt and tiny house were stocked well. You have a/c in both units, a kitchen and bath in the tiny house and a nice tv and living area in the yurt. - The couches and beds were comfortable and cozy. - Easy to access, this is a couple blocks off the highway making it super easy to get to. Things I wished I would have known:- The rooster next door that starts crowing loudly at 4am and continuities until 8am is extra loud in the yurt. Sleep was an issue and it wasn’t communicated in the listing. - Bathroom access is only in the tiny house so if you’re sleeping in the yurt and need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night it’s a process.- Allergies… there is some horse hair decorations which are cute but caused a major allergy flair for one person in our party.

Quirky fun place. The only bad part was no cell service or wifi. The Direct TV wasn't working so did a lot of reading. Very clean & comfortable

Fun stay in Clark fork!

Very tidy property with everything you need! Kitchen is well stocked and efficient. My 9 year old loved sleeping in the loft. Yurt is well appointed and comfy! Chickens right next door provide an early wake as an FYI. Super base for exploring north Idaho!

Comfortable and Quiet

A home away from home! Such a beautiful area and everything here was so clean. Comfortable bed and plenty of space for two people. Once inside the yurt it was so quiet! If you love chickens you’ll definitely see and hear some. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering staying here.

This place was magical

I adored this property. It was cozy, comfortable, very well equipped and Chris the property manager was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and places to go fish. The neighborhood was extremely quiet, loved hearing all the nature around when we were in the yurt. The tiny home was so cute also. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Cozy and Unique Place in Clark Fork, ID

Super clean and cozy yurt and tiny house. Close to Clark Fork River & Lake Pend O'reille. Perfect location for a paddler's paradise. Enjoyed the quiet town with great food options. Will definitely be back again soon.
