Head ‘Yaakwards’ and explore the hidden Yaak River Valley! Rich in mid-60s nostalgia and year-round coziness, the 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental is a unique retreat. The property, filled with a rich history, once served as housing for those that taught at the historic Sylvanite Elementary School, located just 75 feet away. Walk over to the Yaak River to try your hand at fly fishing, throw some logs on the fire pit, or spend a day in Bonners Ferry — the opportunities are endless!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Beds were comfortable. Beautiful location.However, a few recommendations:Need a bigger coffee pot. Coffee pot was a 2 cup pot.Provide a hair dryer.Clean the inner windows. (cob webs and spiders)(Paid large cleaning fee so this would be expected)Ad says walk to the river from cabin . This is more of a hike. No trail and not able to access the water shoreline, so ad is misleading. Slight odor of animal urine in cabin. Ring cameras in numerous windows are annoying.
