A Very Special Place
Submitted: August 15, 2012

Recently our travels took us to the gorgeous Silver Valley in northern Idaho. Our plans included hiking, biking, and relaxing—and we wanted a quiet, peaceful setting to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We stayed a week at the Pine Hurst Lodge and loved it! From the moment we walked into this lovely mountain home, we knew we were in a very special place. It was welcoming, immaculate, and fully stocked with cookware, linens, comfy sofa blankets, and much more. We were surprised and delighted to see that the owner [Robin] had left a thoughtful hand-written note wishing us a happy anniversary along with a delicious bottle of wine to mark the occasion.
The Pine Hurst Lodge is conveniently located with easy access to the Route of the Hiawatha bike trail with its cool tunnels and trestles--and to the bike trails of the Coeur d' Alenes where we saw moose, a mama elk and her baby, lots of interesting waterfowl, and many other forms of wildlife. Hiking or riding a bicycle is the best way to see the world—and the same can definitely be said about the Silver Valley and its surroundings. The people are friendly and the sites to enjoy are unlimited.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pine Hurst Lodge and highly recommend it. We hope to return next time with our daughters in tow—they will delight in sleeping in the private, cozy, upstairs bedroom loft, playing games, and watching movies until late into the night. What a wonderful pace to relax and restore.
