Accommodations
Meadow by the River Shouse (shop house) rents at $300 per night with two night minimum for eleven guests, seven days maximum. Children two and under stay free. For your convenience, there's a crib and extra sleeping pads in the upstairs bedroom.
We have three RV sites for $60 each night, two with river views. Each has a picnic table, water and power, and no cost to set up a tent at each site. Extra tents are $25 each. One tent site has a water faucet. There's convenient porta potties are nearby, plus a primitive shower that you won't want to miss trying out.
Self Check In
For your convenience, it's a keyless entry, and you'll use a code to enter the side door of the house. Check in is 3 pm and check out is 10 am. RV and tent rentals are numbered. Please set up tents near your RV and if tenting only, set up on the perimeters of the lawn because the lawn will be for group activities.
Internet is Not Good
We're in between mountains, so going online is not so good here. It seems to be better when using Personal Hotspots. Phone calls and texting are fine though so you're not completely in the wilds. Just prepare the kids that their devices won't be working very good.
DVD Movies
If you want to watch movies, our WiFi is spotty trying to watch Roku, etc. Good luck! We have lots of DVDs though. The top shelf is more family friendly and the bottom shelf is guys shows. To use the remote, push the red button to turn the TV on and you have to manually operate the DVD player. Look for labels.
Games
There's a metal cabinet behind the building near the fort/swing that has games to play outdoors. Inside the cabinet, You'll find a folder of instructions on how to play, but here's lots of versions to the games.
Bocce Ball Gunny Sack Races
Bubble Station Jenga
Capture the Flag Jungle Gym
Connect Four Photo Treasure Hunt
Corn Hole Spike Ball
Granny Pants Volleyball
Outdoor Escape Room
Porta Potties
Those guest attending a wedding need to use the convenient porta potties south of the woodshed and near the meadow by the lake instead of using bathrooms in the house. Though if you’re staying at the house, it’s okay to use the inside bathrooms. Just trying to cut down on traffic and confusion inside the house.
Quiet Times and Privacy
Music must be turned off at 10:00 pm, and we ask after that you keep noises as low as possible especially after 11 pm. Please be respectful of the neighbor's privacy and not go beyond the posted private residents areas.
Cleaning and Damage Fee
There's a $150 cleaning and damage fee when renting the house, but it will be refunded if guests leave the venue cleaned up and with no damages.
No Pets on the Premises
Service dogs only. Our family next door has a black dog named Jed that thinks he has to do surveillance, but just shoo him off, and he'll leave.
Liabilities
We have insurance that covers events, but we encourage you to also purchase your own. You're responsible for your safety of your family and invited guest. The Pend Oreille River is right next to the venue, and we are not be responsible for accidents.
For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, we have an external security recording camera located on the northwest corner of the patio.
We know how much celebration is at a wedding, family reunion, anniversary and birthday so we're ready to help you have a great time. Call or text us with any questions or comments you may have.
