About Robert
We are now happily retired. We spend early Spring and late Fall at our 2 adjacent Hayden Lake homes that we have owned for years. The kids are grown up now so we rent the homes to guests who are looking for a fun vacation at beautiful Hayden Lake. We have made many new friends who have come back each year during the five years we have made the homes available for vacation rental.

Here is a review from one of our guests:
just arrived home from our second stay at the Gerends lake cabin on Hayden Lake. And once again...too wonderful for words. We spent many hours just lounging on the huge wrap around deck, barbecuing, entertaining friends, and soaking in the truly incredible lake view spread out in front of us. In fact, before we left, we both just stood on the deck, silent, I know both thinking the same thing: "I don't want to forget this view." It's a truly rejuvenating spot, and you just can't visit without feeling wonderful. There are even MORE water toys than our last visit, which I didn't think was possible! We both used the SUP boards, the canoe, the Seacycle, the paddle boat, and misc. other items that were available. I don't think we could have worked our way through all of the water toys in a week's time! They have a wonderful little sandy beach cove, with stairs to access it, and we loved throwing floaties for our dog from there. There's also a huge rock to jump from, and just so many great things to do, including hiking up behind the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits with Jeanne, the onsite manager. She is wonderful! She checked in on occasion to make sure we had everything we needed, which was so nice. The home is so well stocked, it's almost unbelievable. Right down to clips to hold on the outdoor tablecloth! My husband asked if I brought those. I said "Nope! The Gerends have thought of everything!" The home is clean, comfortable, and has everything you will need for your stay. Should you need to run into town, it's less than 20 minutes away.

Here is a typical review:What a delightful place to vacation. It is ideal for folks who want to do little more than sit on the deck and enjoy the surroundings. Perhaps catch up on reading. (Goes without saying it is perfect for active families.) We appreciated the opportunity to bring our dog along. Thank you for allowing pets. Birding is great too. There were binoculars if you forget to pack your own. Believe the owners thought of everything to make for a fine time. We look forward to visiting this lovely spot next year.
Another review:We had a great week on the lake. Our kids love to jump in the lake and it was nice and deep to do just that! We brought our boat but there was plenty of water toys to use if you don't have a boat. We loved just sitting on the dock or deck and watching the view or if you prefer to stay indoors the home would accommodate that just fine . Our family rated this our best place on Hayden Lake as we have stayed at many other places. Thank you for sharing your lake home!!!

Here is a typical review: Perfect choice for my week with my family in ID while doing the Ironman! We had to make daily/frequent drives into Coeur d'Alene for various race functions, but it was close enough to not be a bother and far enough to escape and decompress before and after the race from all the commotion. With the bunkhouse for the kids, there was plenty of room for all 10 of us. If the kids weren't playing in the water, they were playing and entertaining themselves in the bunkhouse. Ample water toys, which all got used and dry lifejackets to put on (I like, and notice, the little things like the secure/solid storage bin).
My parents appreciated having a "property manager" (Jeannie) nearby for any questions, but Bob was near his phone for any calls as well.
Now that my race is done, I don't have plans to head back to the area anytime soon, but I'll certainly recommend this place to others heading that direction!
