We stayed at the Hayden Lake Lodge to celebrate a family event in late July--12 adults & 5 kids, ages 6-17. There are many positives about the home--it was well stocked, with adequate kitchen equipment, plenty of plates/silverware, two coffee makers (drip/Keurig). Enough seating for dining using the kitchen table, the barstools, the dining room table. Made use of the Weber grill & Blackstone (xtra propane tanks avail). Bathrooms were well stocked: shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Plenty of both bath & beach towels. Bedrooms varied in size, roomy to rather tight. Game room was fun, not air conditioned.
Biggest problem was a lack of reliable internet/cell service. Several in our group needed service for various work functions; the internet service, when up, was very slow. Verizon cell service was almost non-existent making strong internet more important. It was a significant issue for our group. Also, a house that sleeps 18 needs more than 3 bathrooms. Knew this going into the rental, really took some juggling to make the bathroom situation work.
The outside space was clean, organized with lots of furniture. We used the provided kayaks, paddleboard, fishing equip, hot tub, fire pit (lots of wood provided). Rented a boat from Hayden Lake Marina, tied up to the dock at the house which was convenient.
Prop mgmnt very helpful, responsive. Our family would have been better suited to a different property given the internet/bathroom restrictions but a decent overall home.
